Time and time again, you resort to name-calling and insults rather than focus on issues. You call into question my character and integrity rather than grapple with the issue or argument. You use logical fallacy terminology with limited understanding of their actual structure and misapply them in argumentation.

You may be a kind and intellectually considered person in other aspects of your life, but this is not an example. May kindness find you, may people give you grace, and may you be a source of warmth to others.
In my experience not really because you can type hint structs, which combined with pattern matching, guards and typespecs will cover most cases.

ex: def foo(%Bar{} = bar, how_many) when is_number(how_many)

Also avoiding/limiting variable rebinding should mitigate problems as the language is immutable otherwise.

So IMHO it affects the developer productivity more than create type bugs, because you have to write all that and intellisense kind of sucks (at least in Jetbrains' IDE with the unofficial Elixir plugin).

Amazing game! Solving it sounds like a LeetCode exercise.
>It's not the EU's fault that you have to click cookie banners.

Yes it is.
If the EU makes a law that companies or public institutions can't use (or limit the use) for AI in recruitment, administration of justice or social scoring, they will just outsource it to the US?

And suddenly they are allowed to do it? I have my doubts.

They risk risk up to 30 Million EUR or 6% of global revenue in penalties.

Are you sure? It starts from simple supercookie-like stuff and ends at TrustPID where the network provider aids in tracking.
> Studies have shown that certain products branded as “made in Switzerland” are sold at a price 20% higher than comparable goods from other origins, with the sale price rising by up to 50% for luxury items.

> Mondelēz, which has owned Toblerone since 2012, announced last year that from the end of 2023 it would move some of the production to its plant in Slovakia, where it also produces the Milka chocolate brand originally made in Switzerland.

The usual story of corporate greed. They just don't get the valuation and pride that people put into things. So in spite of "Made in Switzerland" giving them such an edge on the market in terms of consumer trust and pricing, of course they have to go where work is cheaper.

I've been hating this with a passion since when I was a child. I'm not a brand-loyal consumer at all, but I value that I can buy stuff for a fair price with an assurance of quality and product stability. I grew up with a famous yogurt brand whose unique selling point (apart from the inane amount of money they spent on advertising) was that the sour-ish and rather firm yogurt was put on top of a layer of fruit jam. This was distinctly better than almost all the other brands that were (and still are) homogeneous, super-sweet slurries of all the ingredients. My favorite yogurt maker then got sold to, I believe, Nestle; they then quickly overhauled their new brand and wouldn't you know, they kept the name on the outside but inside they turned it into the same sweet slurry that all the other brands offered. Because, obviously, that's what consumers wanted, right.

It totally evades me what goes on in the minds of these 'managers'. What did they 'manage' at all? They just destroyed a brand by executing the one UPS it had.
Just because you haven't worked in a team that requires those skills doesn't mean they aren't valuable.

In my old team, I had to come up with a coupon distribution logic based on count, percentage, time, then generating reproducable random values that required to deep dive (algorithm) into library code & explicitly storing state in redis, then an application of dynamic programming in building as custom platform, atomic token validation, custom rate limiter algo, state machine, scheduler, distributed circuit breaker, etc.

In my current team, I had to read raft paper, zab paper, look into their implementation, make a poc with raft protocol, then autoscaling algorithms, scheduler algo's, different data structures, heck even the oss engine itself is DAG, heavy threads + concurrency stuff. Even now I come across new data structures and algorithms.

Clearly you don't know the entire industry, just because you haven't worked in such teams, doesn't mean these aren't important.

You are experienced in a bubble. The hiring bar for our team is higher than other teams and heck even for SDE3 - the requirement is higher. You would be very much surprised to know that even the senior members have research publications and deal with complex stuff.

Core teams like in AWS or GCP or Azure solve these sort of problems.

Who do you think will solve autoscaling (that's what I'm doing now) or managed scaling or network or security or any infra problems in these cloud platforms ?

As experience increases, we expect more knowledge & insights - doesn't mean to ignore basic coding stuff like arrays or linked lists or trees or graphs or simple message queues or etc.

If companies are paying competitive TC and there are multiple candidates, why not hire a smart person ? What's so special about doing regular normal stuff ? That's just a normal dev right ?
No hidden agenda? It has an agenda and it is not honest about it. That's a hidden agenda. You don't know what is "motivating" ChatGPT. Neither does ChatGPT. But it has been given motivation. It has been designed to write in a certain way. Its design prevents it from learning or honestly engaging in serious discussions. It's not any sort of unbiased equation.

More dangerous than ChatGPT is the sheer gullibility of many people putting it to use.
It is trivial to encode text in neural networks, these models try hard to avoid that by punishing it in training but they still encode a lot of text word for word. The most famous example is "Fast inverse square root", it gives you the exact same thing with same comments etc.
To be honest make-work type jobs are shitty examples anyway unless their existence is mandated through governance (looking at you Oregon gas stations). Otherwise, whether those jobs seem important or necessary or neither, their existence is a cultural one that's at least as significant as any job related to entertainment or hospitality.
1. That's a poor argument and completely irrelevant. There's a massive difference between short term and long term lets. AirBnB has more short term rentals available than long term ones in the entire country. That's a problem even if it's a 'subet' of all available properties.

2. Oh they pay a little in tax. Not the same as depriving locals of places to live near where they work affordably, and pricing all but the highest earners out of a home in general. Not to mention it pushes locals further and further out of the areas near jobs, and even then it's more and more expensive. Longer commutes, higher rates, it's all a net negative on the actual residents of a city. Nobody benefits but the entitled tourists and the rich landlords, who are insulated enough by their money to not see or care about the societal harm they cause.
There are several tools available for managing secrets and credentials in a small startup. Some popular options include:

LastPass, 1Password, Vault and Bitwarden, all these are cloud-based password manager that offers secure storage and sharing of login credentials. they also includes features like MFA and the ability to generate temporary tokens.

As for how to do it, I recommend evaluating each of these tools based on your specific needs and choosing the one that best fits your requirements. In general, you should look for a tool that offers strong security features, easy integration with your existing tools, and a user-friendly interface.

The point of my reply was to point out that having a modest home was not necessarily an indication of character (hence the Scrooge comparison), and that even Warren Buffett - who is seen by some as the best of the wealthy - has come under criticism by the press for his motives and methods having been less than ethical (although they may have been perfectly legal).

One of the sources was anti-capitalist, but the journalists who wrote a a couple of those articles for business news sources undoubtedly were supporters of capitalism, and are likely to be know much more about the financial issues than most us do.

Although there are larger questions of whether anyone should be in a position to hoard so much wealth, what 'cost' that wealth comes at for the rest of us, and whether the accompanying power he exercises (even if indirectly) is good for society.

Those are larger philosophical and ethical queries, that do often come with strong opinions for good reason. Those on the right worry that regulating wealth may come with an affect on some other freedoms, those on the left worry that such wealth comes with a risk to the integrity of the democratic process and comes at a high societal cost.

Most of the defences of Buffett against this criticism have seemed to have been: "he is just a money geek who doesn't get into those details", "at least he is planning to give a lot of it away", and "you are in no position to judge him." I, like many others, do not feel he is beyond criticism or that those are sufficient answers.
To cut the title here some slack, it is the title of the essay :)
I think an important thing is to identify what your end goal is - is it to create some cool app and get some people to use it or create a real business. The latter is much harder and even startups/companies with big funding and millions of users struggle to do it.

And just by implementing some cool app you don't magically obtain business knowledge required to get it to the next level - probably the ability to sell stuff and marketing being the most fundamental.
> The example with the airport and malls being overstaffed. The first part is that both the government and people would rather that people work, rather than rely on government/society, even if it means the enterprise is not operating optimally.

This. In many EU countries, airports are currently severely -under-staffed. So much so that in several airports scheduled flights had to be canceled.
Whatever the cause for low unemployment in Western countries is, it is definitely not the abundance of 'nonsense jobs' like in Japan.

Maybe a hot take but I feel like high(er) interest rates for homes should be the standard. This allows for demand to be modulated, and puts up a barrier to rent seekers from flooding the market. The problem is that over the past 5-10 years a lot of property has already been snapped up by investors at minimal interest rates, so as long as rents stay somewhat stable, they investors will be raking in the returns. I guess at the end of the day the money still flows to a third party rather than the homeowner that is trying to stay in one place for long term.

This would make a good novel like a Christmas story where the evil capitalist tries to destroy an old family housing cost but in my experience is far from reality. Starting with taxes - no where I have lived has does taxes at market rates like that. Many houses I have seen have low tax values that might adjust slightly on a sale. I don’t live in Cali but they famously avoid this with prop 13. Taxes may be re-rated by appraisals once in a while with adjustments to the market rate but the town doesn’t suddenly gain more of a tax base or revenue. Houses that improved move to a higher appraisal and houses that didn’t go lower. I have been through two re-rates and my lack of updates has resulted in a drop in the appraisal for the tax rate while my neighbors are higher. The rates adjust and the end result is some pay more and some pay less. This scenario might happen if you live in gentrified area and bought extremely low and get priced out but that is not the norm. The rest, I just don’t see. Either the evil capitalist is renting the houses or selling but who would list houses and not sell to drive a price down. If one is lower and sells, and there is demand for more to sell a buyer will be found.
When you're designing a specification (I mean, any code, really, but specifications especially), anticipating how users will use it and trying to guide them down the path of -not- misusing it is part of getting the design right.

Sometimes deliberately leaving a potential feature out makes for a better end result. Sometimes it doesn't. But either way it's better to make the choice deliberately.
First, Pd is not only about DSP. Second, it depends very much on the kind of music you wanna do, right? We all agree that one wouldn't use Pd to produce the next Taylor Swift hit.
Although people have used EEG as game controller. So getting a few bits worth of information out of EEG is definitely possible.

But I doubt that EEG contains enough information to encode an image in. So, just from the amount of bits needed, I don't think that it is even possible.
... and they forgot the web with noscript/basic (x)html again.
The same with music. You can debate the finer points of music theory all day long, but some kid will just walk up, pick up an instrument and start playing. They may not be able to use the right terminology for what they do but there is a fair chance they'll play a lot better than those that do know all the right terminology. In part this is because the one is 'just' knowledge, the other is endless practice to get it right. They are two different skills and really gifted individuals are good at both.
It looks like it sometimes, even though that may not be the case. I've had times when I've corrected ChatGPT, and yes, it knows that what it told me was wrong. It then goes on to tell me more along the lines of what it seemingly already knew what was right.

This obviously isn't the intention of the software, it's just an LLM after all, but there's something missing in the experience when it comes to working with code. Hopefully this sort of issue can be corrected.
Show HN: Simple Log Alerts to Slack
There are many log alerting systems on the market. The best known is probably Datadog. There’s also Logtail, Papertrail, Splunk, Logstash and others.

These are well put together products with a host of great features, such as excellent UIs, sophisticated live searching via web interfaces and sometimes query languages and alerting. They require various levels of installation and they have costs, either through volume-based tiered systems or monthly payments.

For a bootstrapped business, this can be problematic, for instance when a surge of logs - indicating a possible important problem that needs to be solved - pushes volume on to another tier. Should the “log ransom” be paid?

Instead, I recalled from earlier times surely the simplest log watcher: Swatchdog [1]. It is rather venerable software. Its file history from its source download shows dates in 2015, but it was written much earlier - the 90s or possibly 80s by Todd Atkins [2].

We wanted to have alerts in Slack - the blog explains how we did it. In short: *very simply*. The code is available [3].

“An” issue with it is that we may come to rely on these AI’s outputs as assumed correctness or truth. If we have to double check everything they produce then that’s not great either.

I posted the OP video in a different thread, with this fun fact:

> Another cool thing is how the steering of a bicycle works. You don't really turn the way you want to, you actually turn the other way first to initiate so the bike moves from under you, and you then lean the other way to actually turn. This is why, if you're for instance biking close to a curb and want to get away from it, you really can't and it feels like the curb is "sucking" you closer and closer. Since it "feels" wrong to first turn towards it, but without doing that you actually can't get away from it.

So kinda the same: If a curb or something on your right either blocks you from turning that way, or you "block it in your head" so you refuse to turn the handlebars to the right, you wont be able to actually turn left and get away from whatever is next to you.

I actually did miss the feeling of being safe in the serialization/deserialization of my data when JSON became widespread, you're right.

These flashback were specifically about WSDL maintenance by hand (it was not very human readable), and how the existence of a schema was used as an excuse to not actually document the meaning of certain fields.

I guess it depends a lot on people, but it seems like most systems need to be robust to idiots to some degree the more widespread they become.

Would it be feasible to create a type which signifies that unsafe computation has happened? Like the IO Monad in Haskell, for example. This type would have to have a constructor that wraps a value and no way to take the value out of the type.

That way, any code “infected” by unsafe computation will also be infected by the type.

I do see what you're getting at but in the SQL case an unhinted statement can potentially produce such a terrible plan it invariably times out and triggers a 500 from the service making the query.

This sort of thing somewhat blurs the boundaries between affecting performance and affecting behaviour.

I'm not claiming that there's an obviously right answer here, only that there can be more questions about whether something is a good idea on net than people always consider.

Note: It would not surprise me to find that the actual motivation for leaving comments out of JSON went something like:

1) We can't have line comments because we don't want to be newline sensitive that way
2) If we do /* ... */ style comments people -will- write incompatible parsers for them no matter how carefully we specify them
3) Argh

but I wasn't there at the time, so the question will have to remain open.

How does this relate to the NV-1? I thought it used quads instead of triangles. Did it do accelerated NURBs as well?
Just look at the fact that despite all the surveillance and identification cards/items we carry including our dental fillings, the state demonstrates its possessiveness and misguided perceived superior knowledge over us, by never getting citizens to fill in a questionnaire on what actions to take when the body has been subjected to different forms of harm in a 1st responder situation.

I can think of situations where I would not want to be resuscitated, like anything that would leave me in a vegetative or disabled state.

Just look at the fact that science is incapable of proving the existence of gods, and that religions and democracy are highly powerful cargo cults in all but name!
Great find. I would be amazed if a language model like ChatGPT could come up with a novel idea.
