I learned it all online from various sources, and confirmed with an accountant. Start by Googling “single proprietor llc tax advantages”, and go down the rabbit hole of sole proprietorship vs single person LLC vs S-Corp.

From memory S-corps are a little involved to setup, but have some unique advantages. Single person LLC’s are dead simple to setup. In my State, NJ, it was simply getting an EIN from the IRS website, doing a name search for a unique enough name, and then registering the LLC with the State for a small fee.

Unlike a salary, when you do “Corp to Corp” and someone pays your LLC, it is up to you what to do with that money and how to account for it. That is where the tax advantages can be big. But be sure to talk to that accountant and get your tax payments in order.
The best description of current AI, as being marketed is that we're selling a bullshit generator as the next savior. That means there will be an abnormally deep trough of disillusionment or... perhaps the costs the AI will lower are generating bullshit.
There's also a limit between a healthy lifestyle and enjoyment of life, beyond which towards "maximum health" you'll either go to an early grave because of how bland your life is, or live a joyless life avoiding things you'd enjoy.

In any case, those kind of "research" is for modern americans (and people taking their cues from anglosaxon culture) , who are already conditioned in such hysteria - which is funny in the country eating some of the worst quality food in the Western world, cooked the worst ways, in the worst portions, and with the worst mass production integredients. Or perhaps an overcorrection.

The average Italian, for example, should, and definitely, would just laught this off.
Retail Banks were able to offer high risk loans with relatively low concern about the actual quality of the loan, due to the high demand for the repackaged assets. The repackaged assets used shenanigans to trick ratings agencies and make the lower quality loans look relatively secure. Thus secondary prices for the loans were high yada yada.

This is a general comment, nobody is saying every bank required zero documentation.

Isn't that a problem of types in general? I mean, you have the same problem in a strongly typed language.
My personal definition comes from how understandable the ingredients are. In the bread example, it’s just flour, salt, water, yeast, and sugar (in some breads). The bread I have at home contains soy lecithin. I know that’s an emulsifier but I don’t understand how it’s made. A quick Google search says it’s made with solvents like hexane, so I would consider that highly processed. Overall, I would consider my bread moderately processed compared to a loaf of sourdough. Now compare Velveeta to real cheese. There are many things in Velveeta I don’t understand that likely have complicated derivations.
This perspective has a huge following on Hacker News and it's baffling. This site celebrates clever reuse of technology, creative thinking, and open source. But when Apple comes up, some people close down completely and the sharply defined cognitive dissonance looks very cult-like.
lol. You're comparing toothpaste to getting shot 10 times?

Yes that is better than getting shot 1000 times, not better than getting shot only once, in case you are wondering.

Nix's time sync is that you have to constantly fiddle with Nix because it's incompatible with the way a lot of other distributions work and they made it to complicated for end users to package software themselves without referencing a manual.

At first glance this is a pretty odd take, would you mind elaborating? I wouldn't say Python devs and web devs have any more overlap than web devs and some other random group of devs you could select, so why is it the case here? It's always easy to say that it's [outgroup]'s fault that [ingroup] is going sour, but is it really the case?
It's very unlikely. Asymptomatic infections of aerosol spread respiratory diseases are not exclusive to sars-cov-2. Most people get asymptomatically infected with Influenza a every single year and often infect others without even realizing it. The more likely guess is that once you have humoral/serum immunity to protect the body proper you just get the upper respiratory infection (since mucosal tissues are not protected by humoral immunity significantly). And that mucosal only infection is less likely to cause serious disease.
Forget everything else. If you accept being treated this way — holding on to some hope that “some day it’ll get better” — you are going to feel like shit (even after you quit or are fired).

> but you’d be more likely to just go straight to the fully-correct solution that this example is never able to reach in Python

Couldn't this be done if Python added C++ Concepts-like facilities? As in, something like (extremely ugly oversimplified un-pythonic pseudocode):

def slow_add(a: Any, b: Any) requires({a+b}) -> decltype(a+b):
return a + b

This is still effectively duck typed, but since the type checker
is able to typecheck `a+b`, it should be able to handle `slow_add(a, b)` given these extra hints.
There's codementor to do this. There really isn't much demand on the mentee side. It's mostly students paying for their home work to be done or adults with unrealistic expectations. There are far more mentors then mentees and each job is to competive to get, the hourly rates end up to low

Content aside, as a front end dev, I am liking the clean design of that site:

* no goofy animations (no slide down when the table of contents expands, just BOOM open)

* black and white

* logical font sizing for section / sub section numbers

Just clean and simple. My compliments to the designer.
Locking the conversation and marking many disagreeing comments as spam or off-topic doesn’t look good for Golang.

I know that managing a community online is difficult especially when the community is against a decision, but I think Google employees should communicate better.

> Does the existence of this protein explain asymptomatic infections? I wonder what percentage of the population have it.

Our [unvaccinated] 8 year-old had Covid last Spring and his symptoms lasted exactly one entire morning.

PCR swab tests were done in school on day 1, on day 2 I got a frantic phone call from his school at 7am saying "keep him home, he has Covid!".

We would not otherwise have known, since he had precisely a bit of a headache. No cough, no fever. He took a paracetamol and sat in front of the TV. By the afternoon the headache was gone.

He tested PCR positive again on day 6, so got to enjoy the full 10 days' mandatory isolation, thanks to the rules in place here at that time.

The interesting question is: what percentage of young and/or healthy people actually had a severe case of Covid? We know an awful lot of people who've had mild-to-insignificant cases...
> basically unusable for anything except very technical things

It's problematic here. I use it as a kind of search engine for technical questions occasionally, but it's only safe to do so as I know the subjects I'm asking about, eg. bash scripts, database details, and so on.

It's often useful in synthesising information for these sorts of things, but its ability to talk nonsense means you have to be on your guard and know the territory.
This is not news, it has been known for some time. For anyone wanting to get an in-depth, balanced, and rigorous take on alcohol I can heartily recommend Drink? by David Nutt. Reading it has made me more mindful of when and why I choose to drink, and increasingly I find myself drinking less and less.
Unnecessarily harsh rant: senior staff/principals engineers who haven't operated (or been on-call) for anything important come to evangelize.

I suppose this is mainly a thought for projects like neondb/cockroachdb/stackgres (who I haven't heard of but was linked in the thread). It might be reasonable if you need incredibly many db instances, but for the general business who needs "a couple" of database instances, I can't imagine that putting Kubernetes on top would ever serve you better. I'm staying as far away as I can.

what do you mean by winner, and what do you mean by "boring" tech?

advanced algorithms and the things you can make with them are pretty cool, and i'd argue the boring is subjective (ai could be considered boring).

"ai" is new. new markets and opportunities and areas to expand knowledge have opened up. i'm excited by it like i was excited by computers in the 80s and i'm dedicated to building applications that put it into the hands of as many people as possible.

Do you have an example of a reasonable query that BingGPT won't answer correctly for you? I mean, something that you can find with Bing currently at the expense of maybe more elaborate searching or some manual work?

I mean, the stuff these engines are being told to censor is the stuff search engines don't want to show you in the first place, because it hurts their brand.

That's not an AI thing, that's a marketing requirement. And it's no different now than it was last year.
Cool, maybe it'll help debunking those "small amounts of alcohol are healthly (from body standpoint)"
nitter.net is rate limited and can't display twitter data the majority of times I use it. Other nitter instances are better. There's definitely rate limiting going on.

Just no. It would have to take more than that to challenge Google's business model.

This current AI hype around LLMs and chatbots is the start of a hype cycle similar to what happened to Clubhouse.
Some Elm companies I know of are (writing new code) Permutive, Scrive, Vendr, DX, and (not sure what the current status is) GWI, Holmusk, NoRedInk, Dividat, Brilliant.
Substack does this too, though. In fact I feel like it's incredibly similar to medium in many ways.

Why has substack "won" this market? Or has it really? Is it just due to the newsletter publishing tools and subsidising some big name bloggers?
This does not even talk about neurodegeneration.
I stopped using ChatGPT when it wrote some code for me that was using libraries that don't actually exist. Even if it wrote said libraries for me, I'd have way too much work on my hands to validate whether or not it was correct.

I also asked it to write my sample code for other things like Cloudformation where it just made up directives and other configuration options that don't actually exist. Got a bit too abstract for me.

Personally, I wouldn't be replacing everything with ChatGPT?
Not forcingly. You may switch to a different language, not plagued by what it is called Fragmentation. Give yourself this chance. I am experiencing your same feelings since long time. And I found a new job that will bring me back to my lovely days of IDE and coding.
Good luck
Also terminal mode in Cataclysm has advanced ascii art, unlike older games like nethack. It's a joy to play.

Why the hate ? I love an option for dark mode or else I go blinded by the lights on my monitor.
All the more reason to require open boot loaders and the like. If the community is that small, it will minimally affect the ability of manufacturers to move new product. At least at first, until people find out they can do more with an old phone than throw it in a drawer.

Even if that were true, it doesn’t matter. The NYT is THE NYT and Medium is just another Quora/Pinterest/rando website.

Medium has not earned the right to paywall content, the NYT has, apparently.

You need to find another way.

Maybe a pay by the drink subscription model.

Put a button on each article so I can decide how much I want to pay, with zero as an option.

Put a little counter at the top so I can see how much I’ve spent this month and how much has gone to authors vs the company.

If the content is that good, people will pay, I know I would. But I ain’t paying monthly for something I don’t use regularly and I ain’t paying to read something based on a title.
I’ve only read about Service Mesh, my impression was that it seems to add an awful lot of processes and complexity just to make developer’s lives slightly easier.

Maybe I’m wrong but it almost feels like busy work for DevOps. Is my first impression wrong? Is this the right way to architect systems in some use cases, and if so what are they?
To say this is true for every human being is an assault on the field of genetics.

There are several voltage gated ion channels that are inhibited by ethanol. So ethanol can clearly be seen as a medicine in those with genetic changes in these genes that cause channel channelopathies.

And anecdotally, my grandfather drank a lot. Not an alcoholic, but he was no teetotaler, and I would often see him sneaking shots of vodka before noon. He lived was 99 with his full mental capacity.

I despise the WHO generally but this article is solid. There is too much confusion about alcohol in the medical industry. If you ask European doctors having a glass or two of wine "extends health". If you research typical government guidelines, they say a drink or two a day isn't bad or may even say it's "healthy" [1]

The facts are facts. Alcohol is a poison that wrecks havoc on your mind and body. If having one drink can decompress you after a hard days work, fine, you're not gonna get cancer. Let's just stop pretending alcohol is a solid healthy choice.

>> But what if you changed the routing configuration and the application architecture changed to match?

If there were 3 ways to categorise scaling (there’s more than this in reality) then they might be vertical, horizontal then distributed.

You’re describing an architecture that’s in the horizontal scaling world view.

You’re not in vertical because you’re using higher powered (but slower) strategies like active routing for comms between components where in vertical you’d have configurable queues but no routing layer.

You’re not in distributed scaling mode because your routing is assuming consistent latency and consistent bandwidth behaviours.

I don’t think one architecture to rule them all is a solvable problem. I’d heartily and very gratefully welcome being proven wrong on this.
But that book does not suggest alcohol at any level is bad either. So if they are saying is news. And stupid ill-informed news.

An antidote to envy
The thinking is backwards on this. They state there is no scientific safe drinking level. They even compare it to radiation. The goal is to establish an unsafe level. it's like saying there is no safe speed to drive a car - sure that's technically true, but worthless to say.
If you need to have a strict health-based regiment for eating and drinking to have a joyful life, I'm even sorrier for you.

In the end, it's less about health and living life to the fullest, and more about a modern hysteria based on fear of living (or fear of the thought of our eventual demise, which is the same).
How to train large models on many GPUs? (2021)
For the most part, all the low hanging fruit that the great startups of the last 30 years monopolized on has been picked. The next 30 years will look nothing like the last. I suspect we'll be seeing much fewer sub 50 year old self-made billionaires, a near total collapse in the number of inflation-adjusted unicorns under age 10, and a relative shrinking of what we think of currently as "tech" in proportion of total GDP. We may even soon to stop thinking of software companies as tech companies by default.

Even looking at the last 10 years vs. the 10 years before that, the emphasis has already started to shift back the power to the celebrity content creator over the nerdy engineering tech creator. Before Web 2.0 really took off, websites and apps were all the rage because it was mostly nerds and other early adopters that could monopolize the power of the internet. Now the playing field has been leveled again, and it's those with strong personalities, marketing skills and other digital content production skills who have been making the big bucks. Mr. Beast's youtube channel was offered a $1 billion buyout. Engineers weren't thought of very highly before the personal computer revolution, and the money and power was all with the celebrities instead. I think the last 30 years was mostly an anomaly, but now that the internet is more democratized, the money and power will be returning to the celebrity content creator.
> The only thing that we can say for sure is that the more you drink, the more harmful it is – or, in other words, the less you drink, the safer it is.

I wish the article would tell us more about this curve. How much does my risk increase for each drink I have?
Function composition is the most basic thing in FP languages and is equivalent in spirit and nature to the semicolon or newline operators of c and python like languages. Not sure why you chose addition as an example. Addition is order independent in most languages.

In elm (not 100% familiar with the operators), ordered compute can be expressed as follows:

a >> b >> c

Which says do a first, then b then c. Due to how data deps work in an FP language, a is always done first here, b next and c last.

Very imperative. No do notation.

In fact all the major Haskell monad instances are variations of the (.) operator, including IO.

So... If ordered compute extending all the way to IO is not what you're talking about... What are you?
My comment regarding the suggestion was mostly to highlight that it's the easiest solution to the problem that people can think of, not to mean that most gentoo users actually maintain their systems like that. I consider it unnecessarily involved.

Caves of Qud is another similar game.
The trick in general is to focus on the types of (top-level) functions. This way, it can be super concise and machine-readable API documentation. (In Haskell, it's great how the type is defined above the function, where documentation also goes.)

Regarding the example of the original article, it demonstrates how type hinting doesn't turn an inherently dynamic language like Python or JavaScript into Haskell, where everything is neatly typed. Type-wise, it just does not make much sense to use the operator + for all the things it's used for in Python, hence the example function slow_add does not make sense either.

I admit I have difficulty knowing when I should just use Any and stop trying harder.
Outdated may be a bit harsh. I'd say that almost everything we knew about modern startup culture was predicated on one thing: easy access to cash. That had huge impacts on ease of funding, length of runway before profit, safety to pivot, and so on.

If the era of cheap money is truly at an end, then the whole edifice must be reconsidered.
