I don't understand, is the talking point what you quotes from me, or their taking point about GMOs?

Because I don't think what you quoted, or my comment in general, is a Monsanto taking point, and I don't understand the connection to Monsanto that you are trying to make.
True. But doing this yourself can result in bugs. It would be nice if we didnt have to think about it.

Not if you live in a communist society.

I think it would be better if there was no ownership, because everybody would be happy.

Well yeah, a "15-minute-city" kinda precludes the 10-acres-of-asphalt style development.

I live in brooklyn, exactly the kind of city described. I'm within a 10 minute walk of at least 4 grocery stores, none of which have a parking lot at all.
The furnace in my house is from 1970 and still works. I don't want to know how inefficient it is. (I just upgraded the insulation of the house, replacing the furnace is a future problem)

> Zuck made this pretty clear in a previous brief and talked about getting rid of the number of middle managers.

Google did an experiment long ago, trying to get rid of managers. It was a total disaster/failure[1]. Seems BigTech wants to re-discover this the hard way themselves.

DuckDB is terrific. I'm bullish on its potential for simplifying many big data pipelines. Particularly, it's plausible that DuckDB + Parquet could be used on a large SMP machine (32+ cores and 128GB+ memory) to deal with data munging for 100s of gigabytes to several terabytes, all from SQL, without dealing with Hadoop, Spark, Ray, etc.

I have successfully used DuckDB like above for preparing an ML dataset from about 100GB of input.

DuckDB is undergoing rapid development these days. There have been format-breaking changes and bugs that could lose data. I would not yet trust DuckDB for long-term storage or archival purposes. Parquet is a better choice for that.
Most people who identify as Catholic in developed countries today don’t believe in any of those (demonic possession and exorcism would be particularly fringe, but in surveys in many countries the majority identifying as Catholic don’t believe in hell or sometimes transubstantiation either)
Interesting how the visualization highlights the Eastlake and Montlake neighborhoods (along the south bank of the canal northeast of downtown) as walkability outliers.
When I was newer to the Seattle area and looking for housing I did a similar exercise and charted the location of grocery stores. I was surprised that those neighborhoods just didn't have any grocery stores, especially given their proximity to downtown and the UW. Given the amount of investment the city/state is making to improve the WA-520 corridor (the east-west highway which goes through there) for cars and pedestrians, I wonder if that's going to change in the near future.
Fair enough on the agree to disagree. Enjoyed the thread! Go enjoy your day, my friend.
You can use CPU, it's but using GPU in my experience has been about a 20x speedup.
I found my current job on Upwork, and after a couple of months we moved to a direct arrangement. Not ideal, but it can work.

Currently comparing them and deciding what to use.

Options I see are:

banana.dev, modal.com, replicate.com, tiyaro.ai, beam.cloud, inferrd.com, pipeline.ai

Are they all good enough, or can someone who's tried multiple of them make a comment about which one was easiest?

"Who promised you tomorrow?" - St. Alphonsus Liguori, Preparation for Death
The "global" and "section specific" stuff stops being so clear once you need to have subsections. And the "clear visual enforcement" can also lead to forced unreadability, when the ordering forced on you doesn't match the most sensible/readable order for a human reader.

This is repeating the same mistake I see all the lightweight markup formats (Markdown, Org Mode, etc.) do - using implicit terminators for hierarchy nodes. It's a superbly annoying feature of outliner tools (including the one I otherwise love: org mode) that forces you to create extra levels of structure just for the sake of being able to surround subtrees with context.

That's not really how it works. You need to provide evidence of Democrat governors banning books at the state level a la DeSantis and Abbott. I can't prove what they wouldn't do because the situation is theoretical.
I don't think the code presented was taken directly from stackoverflow, and I don't think that's what the person I replied to said. That being said, even if it was from stackoverflow, stackoverflow is a poor resource for older languages/environments.

Yup, that was my assumption as well!
Its a catch 22. You get good at these things by basically doing them for free on your own time. It's like the best programmers will program just for the sake of it. The depth of skills comes from uninhibited exploration.
Imho it was pre-war when it peaked. You look at rust-belt cities that were designed to be suburban but transit-oriented and you see a good balance; 3-bedroom houses where everybody has a back-yard but not necessarily a driveway, and the cities were irrigated with street-cars. Minor arteries would have corner stores and there were local shopping districts.
... wut?

The Framework Marketplace is where the company sells accessories for their products. The products which are sourced directly from WD, as clearly explained by TFA. Did you even read the article or look at the marketplace before commenting? It’s pretty obvious it’s not a third party marketplace from like… a second of browsing.

The only random seller you’d be buying from is the one on AE. The one which couldn’t possibly provide you with a warranty or even guarantee that what you’re buying is a real product. 1740 people could have easily been scammed or are in on the scam. That’s not a lot of people, especially not random online stranger who have no incentive to be honest with you about their experiences.
Shipped a small onboarding improvement !

Should be clearer.
Well, you can have it both (or even more) ways: no matter what companies do, someone will crap on them! This can be universal (all companies) or particular (e.g., the company that overbilled me).

And that's w/o going into politics )(if you do, leftists will jump up and crap on capitalism).

Thank you for posting, very informative.

Some random comments:

I use a Mikrotik router and I have a dedicated network for devices I don’t want to access my main network. They can only access my MQTT server. RouterOS (mikrotik OS) is a bit terse and comes with its own cli interface. I managed to modify the default setup relatively easily via the UI to create the two networks I needed. In the future I may install openWRT but at the moment the current setup works well.

Another think that I did recently that was quite impactful (performance wise) was to add a Omaha controller to make my two access poins work together to expose one single wifi network. Before I had them working on their own. The performance of the network has increased substantially. I’d prefer not having to buy a piece of hardware to do that but I am glad I did.

I recently bought a ds720 from Synology. I upgraded the RAM to 6gb. So far I use it to dump my personal backup (restic). Also my Reolink cameras dump video via FTP. Because the ds720 runs linux and docker I am planning on consolidating a few services in the ds720 (home assistant, grafana and Pinole).

Oh, I also got a UPS system for the main components that provide Internet access. I can be without power and have Internet for 2 hours a half. One thing I want to do is to get an alert when the power goes down. The UPS exposes that via USB.
I love the idea and I'm sentimental about when blogs and personal websites for part of circles and chains.

I'm not sure that it's so clear cut. I think we should be more strict with accepting new patents however wrt prior work and extending them. Companies should be able to ignore patents as soon as they find prior work. Then it should become the responsibility of the patent holder to prove that there really isn't prior work. And there really shouldn't be a way to extend patents easily if at all. Patents are also benneficial in that they serve as a database of sorts of new discoveries (with pictures!). I can point to the exact US patent of the field effect transistor,[0] for example.

You can argue how many grains of sand make a pile, but that vagueness doesn't mean that one grain is a pile, especially when you _know_ and are _banking_ on the other party not sharing that meaning.

I’m not sure your reasoning makes sense to me.

It was in TFA. Unfortunately I can't get past the paywall again. There was a graph that had employee growth. I left out a couple companies but Meta and Google were mid 90's% and SF was something like 104% from 2020-2022. The source in the article was "Bloomberg" presumably they are from public filings.

Nearly all modern crops are hybrid strains, which means the offspring won't have the same genotype as the parents. This is the real reason why re-planting doesn't work well. It's not anything nefarious.
The usual cases are scroll positions, selected text, form fields, event handlers, basically any state that isn't naturally captured in the HTML text. That's where the VDOM differ comes in handy, by modifying existing elements and keeping the structure similar.
I’ve noticed that the tone is becoming rougher with each new Rust story. I’d be curious to know what kind of professional would choose to express themselves in this way, it’s pretty embarrassing.

First of all, that blog post - as many Rust-themed blogs from start-ups - is a submarine article attempting to increase the notoriety of their product. Not enough to disqualify it, but a hint that it won’t necessarily be technically solid.

And indeed, on a technical level it’s superficial and doesn’t give any code examples to substantiate its claims. Code is critically important, because as another recent blog showed, some people don’t know why it’s a bad idea to pass non-zero-terminated char buffers to C string functions and then turn this into a big story about the dangers of C++.

The story also has some red flags, such as not being able to enforce coding standards. Code review is a near-mandatory quality control and teaching method that easily handles this. Clang-format and clang-tidy take care of the low-hanging fruit.

Having segfaults is a really bad sign. So is not mentioning the words address sanitizer, valgrind or similar.

Having memory leaks in 2021 is incomprehensible. This is an amateur mistake of the worst kind in modern C++. It means they’re writing C.

I don’t have time to dig more in depth, but there’s a disturbing lack of critical thinking and skepticism in these comments.
How much data do you have now?

How fast is it increasing?

What is your budget for hardware?

What is your budget for software?

What is your budget for development labor?

What is your budget for maintenance?

I mean the simplest thing that might work is talking to your university IT department...

...or calling AWS sales or another commercial organization specializing in these things.

The second most complicated thing you can do is to roll your own.

The most complicated thing you can do is to have someone else do it.

Good luck.
More that they plan to use them against government and civilians that want to regulate them.

I was told by one of their recruiters they train their employees to use weapons in case they get swatted. Never mind the fact that their "culture" document has a bunch of language about resisting government regulation, never mind the paranoia, but the idea of encouraging employees to own and train with weapons in case the police come knocking is in itself deserving of police attention.
This isn't Socialism, it's the Welfare State, which was created to deflate Socialism:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von_Bismarck

> A master of complex politics at home, Bismarck created the first welfare state in the modern world, with the goal of gaining working class support that might otherwise go to his socialist opponents.
I agree with that, the language needs some love in that area
> Much more sad than a world where you obtain firewood from some local vendor

A while ago I ran the numbers, and to meet UK electricity demand from wood would consume every single tree in the country in three months.

Limiting that to heating and giving up on industry would stretch that a bit, but the country is fundamentally dependent on imports to stay alive. We can't not be global.
The first time I ever visited Prague we took an unplanned (no research) day trip to Kutna Hora just to see the bone church. The other cathedral down the street was amazing as well, but then to just be stumbling through the town and coming upon St. Barbara's Church was truly an experience. It got me hooked to continue travelling outside the US.

I remember being excited about XML when it first came out, since there were so many clunky languages used for configuration and data storage. That feeling lasted for a couple of years, and the 2000s were basically a long disappointment as the parts I liked were buried under huge piles of enterprise ejecta.

The main lessons I've drawn looking back:

1. Tool quality matters more than it might seem, and you can't count on other people to fix your mess for you. A couple of things which come to mind were the lack of a good formatter and validator (people spent too much time on things like formatting errors, especially if they were starting with a very lenient parser and things seemed to work for a while until they hit a standard one) and also the way things like XSLT/XPath shipped major spec updates but since nobody implemented them in libxml2 most developers couldn't use them, use them in browsers, etc.

2. Usability similarly matters far more than experts think: I'm using namespaces here because in my experience that spoiled more people on XML than any other single feature. The requirement that you pedantically specify the namespace in things like XPath or XSLT meant that people couldn't write those using the values they saw in front of them without getting errors or, worse, silent data loss. This reliably tripped up even experienced users and it could have been easily avoided by making a handful of key client libraries smarter. Everyone deep in the XML community has learned and internalized this but it came up over and over and over as something users hated.

3. Continuing that theme, documentation and especially examples matter a lot for the same kind of reasons. I remember about a decade ago getting evangelized by a semweb person and evaluating a couple of the things they mentioned. The only documentation available for any of the half-dozen referenced specs were the specs themselves (which were not written targeting implementers or mutually compatible), and there were no examples which I could find which matched the current versions of the specs, worked with the few public tools, or, in a couple of cases, were even valid XML.

The common thread in all of this was hubris and especially the assumption of inevitability. A lot of people were aware of these as sources of friction but seemed to assume that someone else would make better tools, train people, write good documentation, maintain examples, etc. — especially since if you were the kind of person sitting on a W3C community, these were less of a problem for you since you had the knowledge & skills to keep these from being significant impediments.
SV jobs were all over the place in mid 2001. After 9/11, they were gone. Took me 9mos to find a gig after that. It sucked
this is a very US centric view and problem... in other countries lower income does not correlate with no access to local grocery shopping school etc...
a german newspaper did a great income analysis of german cities [1]. You really see the differentiation in income, but if you overlay (at least for the cities I looked at) it with a map even in the low income neighborhood you get decent grocery shopping in walking distance (Lidl has also good organic produce/groceries) and schools and gyms etc...

I'd love to hear any real world experiences of anyone who's tried to run jobs that would usually require a spark cluster on a single machine with loads of cores and memory.

How big can you go, and how does speed compare to Spark? (I'm guessing significantly faster from my experience using Duckdb on smaller machines)
Charming idea :) I'm not actually that annoyed that I will set XDG_CONFIG_HOME to $HOME, but I'll keep it in mind.
The suburban schools I’m thinking of are perfectly walkable.

There’s also ample bussing.

The parents just want to pick their kids up.
GPL (the original coreutils license) does not solve for Cloud or SAAS in any case. It’s not really even clear that AGPL does in something like coreutils.
It works when manually going to https://www.reddit.com/account/register/ (both on mobile and desktop), but it doesn’t work when following the Log In / Sign Up links from the Reddit page, which have additional URL parameters attached. Maybe this is also an A/B testing situation, as the additional parameters have “experimental” in their name.
As the mental health and drug crisis grows, I simply don't want to walk anywhere, and don't want my family walking places. Plus, it's incredibly inconvenient to do grocery shopping on foot. Yes, I know that people do it and it's possible and I've done it when living elsewhere.

Still, this 15-minute city is an initiative created by the WEF which should be ignored and not implemented. If the WEF is so concerned about the "carbon footprint" of regular citizens driving to work and to the store, a much more effective solution would be to ban private jets. Bill Gates' flight to Davos on a private jet (to urge people to eat fake meat) exhausts more carbon in one trip than my family's entire car usage.
>no grocery store" really isn't the same as "limited access to affordable and nutritious food".

Without a grocery store you are at best in a "pick one" situation, at least in the US.

It is like buying Oracle or IBM. Companies really like to hire companies like Tata. Why? Because managers are like this. I don't have a better explanation. Best advise I got for you is to find a 3rd party (or couple of 3rd parties) that have good clients. It worked out very well for me. Working with 5 of these and I have a continuous stream of consulting work.
You are your first client?
No country in Europe is Socialist. They're examples of the Welfare State, which was created to deflate Socialism:

That's actually what kills walkability in my neighborhood, the ridiculous acreage of parking lots in North Seattle near 130th and Aurora Ave. Most of my neighbors are in senior housing and are pretty much afraid to cross the street, so the three grocery stores a block away might as well be on the moon.
I used to work for Udacity and in a non-IC role. I worked there during the major layoffs and restructuring of the company.

What I will say is the company and management are very mission driven (I have never worked with people prior to Udacity that were honestly driven like that.. they truly wanted to educate the world and make education accessible to everyone).

With that being said, from a financial perspective the company was having a hard time. Key revenue was from enterprise partnerships and upskilling workers in companies. There was a partnership with Google that got cut (back stabbed) at the last minute as Google announced a competing service (Google Certificates, Grow with Google, etc). It was supposed to be Udacity's certificates.

The company had to shift focus on generating revenue and cutting costs to stay alive... a lot of free courses and new ideas were axed. A focus on smaller/higher quality content, more nanodegrees, a "subscription" based certificate instead of a one time fee/forever access, etc. Most importantly, a focus on enterprise upskilling activities (helping companies train their employees to retain/re-hire their employees).
