Over a million people die annually in car accidents. At minimum, their families probably care a fair bit about it so that's quite a lot of people right there.
First Republic is technically insolvent, similarly to SVB. The Bank Term Fund Program (BTFP), provides liquidity at the par value of underwater T-Bonds and Mortgage Backed Securities. This liquidity would allow First Republic to cover any immediate outflows of depositors. However, if there is a protracted run on First Republics deposits then it will be unable to make enough to pay back the borrowed funds from the BTFP and will go into default. Equity markets are a forward looking indicator, and its clear that First Republics balance sheet is under serious duress, and it's unclear how they return to profitability. The bottom line is that even with the BTFP and JPM liquidity offer, if there is a bank run at First Republic, they will go under.
There was already ads in feeds or feeds that were nothing more than links.

But IIRC there were also sites that let you pay for a full feed and I think something good could have come out of it.
The absence of identity attribute X doesn't prove there is discrimination against X. There aren't enough women software engineers to go around to every department.
When writing an integration or system test in Rails, have you ever needed to click a link in an email? This is especially important for testing links with a unique token or that expire, such as password reset emails. Simply checking that the link exists is not sufficient, since the page it leads to is ephemeral.
TikTok users shrug at China fears: 'It's hard to care'
My wife and I make more than $250k a year. Our avg tax rate is just about 35% and we live with half our take-home pay. I consider ourselves lucky and cannot possibly feel "bad" about my situation. Yet, taking a substantial 15y mortgage that requires us never to make less than we're making today to get a trashy house in a bad neighborhood or a 600 sqft condo is a nogo for me
Fifteen months is major commitment. Good for you! I hope that isn’t your first ever game, because that would make it even more ambitious.

I don’t think I could do that. I’ve built a number of mobile games, but the longest I worked on before releasing was four months and that was hard enough.

I’ve always found it much easier motivationally and financially to launch early and iterate based on player feedback, but maybe the economics are very different with free-to-play mobile games.

I stopped doing it full time after a while and eventually went back to work. Game dev could support a family but not as well as a tech job, at least for me with my not-that-huge games.

Besides, for me I love that my game income is beer money/vacation money/new car money and not mortgage/health insurance/grocery money

Interesting data, but I'd like to see a regression done of CS program graduate earnings on the average SAT/ACT scores of the school and then see what programs had the highest residuals -- earnings not explained by SAT scores. In general, most of the supposed benefits of attending a more selective school are illusory and come from student characteristics upon matriculation.
I mean, you’re asking why anyone would buy a pickup truck when a sports car is so much faster and holds the same number of people. I’ve got both, they’re different devices.

To answer more directly, though - the Framework is both a hobby and a market signal for me. I wanted a repairable laptop with an OS I can control and I don’t particularly care about the rough edges that come with that. Call it masochism, but that’s pretty much what any hobby looks like in the modern age of plenty.

I don't know man. The attitude comes off as defeatist to me. I think most people with this outlook are engaging in self-sabotage. It's easier than putting themselves out there and risking failure.

They don't try then claim "even I did try what would it get me? making some richy richer, no thanks". Ok so what the alternative? I'm just not willing to sit around complaining. Right now I don't feel like I'm being grifted and if I did I would quit.
>>Or, in other words, if Samsung were doing the exact same thing for cancer detection microscopy, they'd be killing people...

Now that's some major whataboutism if I've ever seen one.

Of course, if they use this tech for cancer detection, I will happily join the protests.

But they aren't. They take pictures you take with your camera and make them look sharp. If anything it's super cool the way they do it without resorting to pre-saved pictures of the moon. It's literally absurd to me that people are getting annoyed at this, even though literally all phones do image processing of one kind or another.

>>the problem is that nowhere in the marketing or documentation of the future as-exists is there sufficient information to determine what use cases it should not be used for.

Really? That's the problem people are having with it? That the mode exclusively demonstrated and marketed for taking pictures of the moon doesn't have sufficient information to establish what use cases it should not be used for? I find that extremely hard to believe - it sounds like a made up problem for clicks, exactly what Verge is doing(they are kind of famous for it).
My biggest gripe with HelloFresh, et al is that I still need to do the prep, so they don't actually save me much time. It's nothing more than curated grocery delivery.

Years ago, there was a service in Hong Kong (I wish I could remember the name) that did daily delivery of already prepped meal kits - onions pre-chopped, avocados cubed, oil portioned for each step, etc. It was basically cooking by numbers, and extraordinarily convenient in the cramped kitchen that I had at the time.

That's the only kind of meal kit service that I'd ever consider using again. I think larger supermarkets are well-positioned here because a lot of them already sell this kind of stuff to begin with.
Their site is understandably having a rough day but you can get wires initiated.
Why should online classes be any cheaper? I'm not talking about self-paced, certificate only classes, where you never interact with a real human. You can already find plenty of these for free from any number of top schools. I'm talking about a real class, for real credit, with a real professor and assignments graded by real humans. Online students end up consuming the same resources as regular students (with the exception of occupying space in a physical classroom). What's more, online students require _extra_ accommodations, since they can't just stop by the professor's office for office hours. They have to setup online meetings for that, etc.
It's not like this product is impossible.

1. There are meal planning apps that present a Blue Apron / Hello Fresh type experience but make a grocery list rather than shipping it to you.

2. Instacart has proven that you can with some amount of reliability that you can abstract over different grocery stores so users can pick the ones they prefer or is closest.

3. I can get groceries delivered from my local Kroger by app for less than $5.

Now make them all kiss and you get a sustainable Hello Fresh.
This article is similar to Sinek’s book The Infinite Game, which I enjoyed a lot.

Off topic and personal: I have enjoyed the tech industry for almost 50 years, but being in my 70s I just don’t have the energy to do everything I want to do. I still play the Infinite Game though as a 40 year AI practitioner by spending 2 hours a week working as an advisor to an AI startup, by closely following deep learning and specifically LLMs, spending about 1 hour a day trying papers + code, and about 2 hours a day writing whatever my “new book project” is. I also allow myself 30 minutes a day, usually during my morning coffee, to scan HN, Twitter, TLDR AI, etc., where I write down things I may want to look at in depth that day. (I wrote about this process yesterday http://mark-watson.blogspot.com/2023/03/time-and-attention-f...).

Anyway, I still feel in the game, I limit tech/gentleman scientist research/coding/writing to about 4 hours a day - that leaves plenty of time for friends, family, and reading.

I really think that some people try to achieve too much in life. Lower expectations and be happier.
There's literally no difference in the theory or technique of compiling for a virtual machine or a real one. Real machines are just messier and have a bunch of edge cases and weirdness that require you to read those multi-kilopage manuals to figure out. Having one or more intermediate steps is useful for portability and optimization though, so it's probably a good idea to target a virtual machine unless you only intend to ever target one specific architecture that you know inside and out.
I've gotta say, I've seen your game before. You're very good at marketing.

The Wikipedia article on Rexx seems to be pretty informative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rexx

> Rexx (Restructured Extended Executor) is a programming language that can be interpreted or compiled. It was developed at IBM by Mike Cowlishaw.[2][3] It is a structured, high-level programming language designed for ease of learning and reading. Proprietary and open source Rexx interpreters exist for a wide range of computing platforms; compilers exist for IBM mainframe computers.[4]

>

> Rexx is a full language that can be used as a scripting, macro language, and application development language. It is often used for processing data and text and generating reports; these similarities with Perl mean that Rexx works well in Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programming and it is indeed used for this purpose. Rexx is the primary scripting language in some operating systems, e.g. OS/2, MVS, VM, AmigaOS, and is also used as an internal macro language in some other software, such as SPF/PC, KEDIT, THE and the ZOC terminal emulator. Additionally, the Rexx language can be used for scripting and macros in any program that uses Windows Scripting Host ActiveX scripting engines languages (e.g. VBScript and JScript) if one of the Rexx engines is installed.

The page goes on to discuss ARexx (the Amiga port) and Compound variables, which can be used as arrays (both of these things have been mentioned here by other commenters).

As someone who is a recent homeowner I think it's unfortunate that homeownership has become a long term investment plan, and a hedge against rising rent. The reality is that I know a lot of people for which the responsibility of homeownership is not for them. There are a lot of things an old house needs to keep from falling into disrepair, and that's not including snow removal, leaf removal, and lawn care. By all extensions it should be a depreciating asset like any other but due to economic forces it's not.

I wish there were more affordable housing solutions for people for who didn't want to own a home, but at least where I live that is not the case.
Are people with ~2.5% mortgages in any hurry to sell though?

If people are deciding not to sell b/c of the above, yes, higher interest rates might bring down the prices of house that people "have" to sell but that's not going to improve the supply situation.

I'm not saying they made the shitty choices for the bank. I'm saying that given the risk that the bank faced, and their awareness that they are risking systemic failures in their industry, some of them decided to run the bank. And they obviously knew the others would have to follow, because bank runs force you to do it.

It only takes one of them to do this calculation and take the gambit, and the rest of them just follow because they have to.

The shitty bank choices were independent mistakes, and were the major mistake. But the reason it blew up so strongly is because key players had an interest in a blow up.

At this point, for better or worse, and I know some may not like it... would be almost all USB-C. With thunderbolt, power delivery and video adapter options over the port, there's really not much reason to go otherwise, noting that some ports are not the same.

One option might be to have a backplate adapter similar to ATX motherboards, where that just slots into the case itself attached to the motherboard... so Gen 3 could have 3x usb-c, 1 usb-a and a 4-pole headphone jack... Then all usb-c + headphone a generation after... but the horizontal spacing pre-defined like ATX backplane.
>Twitter was so awful before, that it relied on people to safeguard the keys to the kingdom. This is very bad practice...that can be accessed by the board of directors, the executive managers, and designated maintainers.

LOL, you realize all the PEOPLE you list as the PEOPLE who should be able to manage the keys to the kingdom are PEOPLE? Board of directors - fired on day one of Musk takeover, executive managers - many fired one day one by Musk as well, designated maintainers - for all we know they could have been fired in the purge or quit when Musk offered the 3 month severance.

All system require people to run.
> For example, you probably should never use it for something that returns an array of results, or a list of results; instead return an empty array or list

This also applies to null/Maybe as well: both would violate the principle of least surprise (e.g. the AWS DynamoDB SDK has queries return an 'Array<Item>'; but this is 'null' if there are no matches!). It also complicates the domain model, making two distinct forms of empty value ('None' versus 'Some(List())'; or '[]' versus 'null'), which may not have any semantic difference.

> You should almost never use it as a field of something

I agree, although it's often preferable to expose methods rather than fields anyway; in which case it's a return value, which seems OK.

> or a method parameter

Sure, that's what polymorphism/overloading is good for, e.g. instead of `foo(int arg1, Optional<String> arg2)` we can have separate `foo(int arg1, String arg2)` and `foo(int arg1)` definitions (where the latter will probably call the former with some default).

> I think routinely using it as a return value for getters would definitely be over-use

I agree, since that would indicate our model is too weak, and missing some domain-relevant information. For example, if many of our 'Order' methods return optional results, there's probably a finer-grained distinction to be made, like 'PendingOrder', 'FulfilledOrder', etc. which don't need the optional qualifiers.

(Personally I try to avoid the term "getter": APIs should make sense without reference to their underlying implementation; whether that happens to be "getting" a field, or calling out to some other methods/objects, etc. That's the point of encapsulation :) )
I'm fairly sure someone here can provide you with a proper citation, but in the meanwhile I was very much online here and elsewhere during that time and IIRC it was common knowledge at the time and AFAIK nobody came up with a better hypothesis.
Yes I have seen it , and I disagree with this statement:

" Very very little of that photo is the result of light captured via the camera sensor."

The photo is entirely the result of the light captured by the sensor - after image processing, yes detail is added which physically couldn't have been captured by the camera - but like I said above, that's literally all mobile photography nowadays. I literally don't see the problem, if anything I'm extremely impressed by the result.

What was the point of NATO, to attack Russia? If that's what you're implying I don't agree, as far as I know the treaty doesn't say anything about attacking others, only about defending everyone that has signed the treaty if they get attacked. But I'm not part of NATO or very knowledgeable, maybe I'm wrong?

My point is that it definitely is one-sided. It's only one of the sides that have invaded the other after years of threatening of doing so. Russia has also done similar things in Georgia and Moldova, and the Baltic countries that have a sizeable Russian population would have an even better reason to be scared right now if they weren't part of NATO.

USA isn't feeding Ukrainian soldiers to anyone, that's again falling into the narrative that Russia wants to use that Russia is fighting the west. Ukrainian soldiers are protecting their country just as Finnish soldiers did less than 100 years ago, and they have asked for and received support from other countries sympathetic to the idea that invading countries to take their land by force is undemocratic, illegal, immoral, and worth defending against.

Nobody has asked for an invasion of Russia, the win comes when the invaders leave where they don't belong. I agree that it is a very fucked situation, which is why Russia's aggression needs to be condemned and can't be allowed to succeed.
Consider the algorithm that shows kids these videos of other kids stealing cars and playing with guns.

Go far east and the algorithm shows kids videos of other kids not stealing cars.

My concern with what goes "viral" has made me ask the question. Are these things really going viral? Or are they newly manufactured viruses.

A different kind of virus where you convince someone that something is true. Like Reddit and it's original bot accounts giving the impression of community.

For instance is Kia/Hyundai to blame for their shitty cars? Yes, but something has to be said for an app/web site that's shows you how to make deadly chemicals/explosives/steal cars in your bedroom and then turn it into a challenge #hashtag.

I mean sure this is treading into conspiracy territory, but what if you could convince someone to do something by showing them videos of others doing it or suggesting it.
Why should I choose this over Django or Flask?

By using Python in the frontend you mean the Python is transpiled into JS? The frontend uses templating or generates a SPA app?
Rexx was incredibly useful as a scripting language on the VM and MVS mainframe environments. It was a huge step up from the "EXEC" language. I wrote a gopher/http server in it circa 1992 (never saw the light of day outside of IBM).

There was an internal version of WebExplorer (OS/2 web browser) that used it as a scripting language in 1995 (also never saw the light of day outside IBM).

My biggest complaint would be that it didn’t have a consistent way of invoking external programs or libraries. Perl won out for CGI and web scripting inside IBM over Rexx from a lack of libraries and some weird performance issue on AIX I no longer recall.
One of the first things I do when leaving a company is remove all credentials from my password manager. Sure they should disable my accounts, but on the off chance they don't I still want it clear I don't have access.

It doesn't have to be a departure on bad terms, if they needed my TOTP codes I can't help them. That secret is already gone.
I dont know who you are, but what actually happened was I decided to double the server size and accept way more people than I originally planned (which I am not going to do this time). That gave me a lot of work to do so I'm sorry if I forgot to keep you posted.
Yes.

Whether or not something is legal is independent of whether or not something is wrong.

Your website feels like an infomercial. As an engineer, I went looking for some explanation of your language and how its grammar and semantics differ from SQL, but mostly I found a large jumble of JSON output and “demos”.

The website is a about value proposition but if I have to dig into demo code internals to understand the product being offered, you’re asking a lot from me.

Curious also why your co-founder is strictly off-limits and you’re building demos that he’s “not responsible for”. That gives a weird vibe too.

I’m an enthusiast for SQL-like, join-free DB access and have a large appetite for weird/new ideas in this space, but after spending 10 min on the website on my phone, I gave up on satisfying my curiosity.

You missed the point entirely. Nulls are just part of proper unions in Kotlin (and other languages). They are just part of the type and they are explicit.

Instead of having to wrap an optional value, you just annotate the type as being the union of something _or_ null. You get the same guarantees, but it actually composes openly instead of having to create a closed, specific construct that enumerates variants.
