They didn't teach us any of those concepts. That's programming, not computer science.
It's an older standard, and if nothing else, the reversibility of type-c is worth the 10 cents.

And because one of the ports is USB OTG, one of the intended uses is for a micro B connector as the host connector. Which is a misuse of the originally intended function of that connector anyway.
This is so weird but cool

I’m not sure that works. I’m tact, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t.

The situation you have to avoid is when higher ups ALSO want to sweep something under the rug to make their own numbers look better.

There has to be some sort of teeth for those who hire, train, and manage bad cops.
You want the majority of your funds to go to the cause rather than charity. It'd be great if we did live in a world where all of it could go towards paying for just the cause, but there can be a lot of overhead to make things happen, especially for hospital or bigger charities. I mean, I'd think that donating to an organization where 30 cents of my dollar is going towards the cause and 50 cents is going towards the admin/employee costs.

Take one of the biggest charity stores in the United States, Goodwill. Many people take their things there, drop them off, and they have a bunch of workers in the back getting paid to bring all that stuff in, make sure it works, clean it, price it, and put it back on the shelves, and sell it, for someone else to buy.

This is basically "community charity" where a portion of your dollar is going towards paying those workers, the overhead of the administration, and the locations themselves. CEO salary is about $500,000 to $1,000,000 per year. Is that necessarily a bad thing? Are people unhappy with the direction of the store? Sometimes I think this store has overpriced items for something that was donated to someone else, but who am I to judge? I didn't buy the location, keep the store open, waiting for people to drop off their things, and resell it. So in essence, it may not be a bad thing at all if only 50 cents of my dollar goes towards "charity".
As a person making what you call "SPAs" since it was possible, first was the minimal amount of data needed to display every next product with use of JS so instant, but then.. rethinked, modularization and being caching friendly (no frames but every replacable part of a page could be as well a page itself - you would call it SPMpA maybe ?) - but the main problem was.. z-index of.. iframes - so you needed to rewrite content elsewhere, with JS, when loaded instead of doing it nicely without it, and finally XMLHttpRequest came from IE - since, any other ways of doing it except with JavaScript are forgotten.

Kind of true the doom came from IE/MS.
That argument doesn’t make sense as it assumes the governments of the other countries are equally at odds as China is with the US.

Western Europe and US are generally wanting each other to succeed as friends and allies.

China wants the us market but also wants the US to be weaker and not pose an example as a democracy.

It also assumes a lot about level government control in each country that is highly dissimilar.
Shareholders can absolutely get wiped out though.

For example, in the 2009 chapter 11 bankruptcy of GM [1], the assets of "old GM" (the one publicly traded on the NYSE) were sold to NGMCO ("New GM Corporation"), owned by the creditors of GM. Old GM continued to trade on the pink sheets as GMGMQ, and then was renamed MTLQQ ("Motors Liquidation Company") and then MTLQU ("Motors Liquidation Company General Unsecured Creditors Trust") [2]. New GM went public again in 2010 after emerging from bankruptcy protection, which is why if you look up "GM" on Yahoo Finance its history only goes back to 2010.

You can still trade MTLQU on the pink sheets [3], but its market cap is about $10M and it makes no profit - it's basically just a trust to settle litigation. If you held old GM stock going into bankruptcy in 2009 you were basically wiped out. The new company is owned by the creditors (which is kind of the point of bankrupty).

> I hear two things requested a lot - an open source ChatGPT and more controls on the training/data/usage/etc.

How they can best be balanced kind of depends on the basis for the conclusion that they should be balanced at all, rather than one (or even both) being fundamentally misguided in way which warrants it not guiding policy or practice at all. “There are two things people commonly ask for” does not mean that what we ought to do is some balance between those two things.

Yea I use my Apple ID to login to Apple, go figure…
Heck, Steam has one other killer feature that I wish more digital storefronts understood: if I want to play a multiplayer game with a friend, or even if it's just their birthday or I feel like doing something nice, I can buy a game and send it straight to their account as a gift. There's, like... zero friction here, it's a checkbox and a dropdown and done. This can help considerably with the income gap since it permits otherwise impoverished users to occasionally receive games from their friends, and the platform still gets a sale. I've lost count of how many copies of Magicka I've gifted to people this way, since it's the kind of wonderfully silly game you can pick up and enjoy without lengthy tutorials.
I strongly doubt that Gates made any significant contributions to computer science. So I'd appreciate a source to what you've claimed here.

Gates had a 'genius' for ruthlessly exploiting a monopoly in business; apart from that there is nothing else exceptional about the man apart from being a thoroughly unlikeable and harmful person, in my view.
"It" is that machine where you swipe your card. It asks you if you want to donate an amount or sometimes round up your total bill so it donates the change.
don't want to sound dismissive, it's known that llms understand state, so you can couple code generation + state, and you have sort of a runtime. E.g. see the simulations with linux vm terminals: https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/

An iterative Python call to a recursive LLM prompt? ;)

Why not make the Python part recursive too? Or better yet, wait until an LLM comes out with the capability to execute arbitrary code!
The web is the best distribution platform we currently have and increasing performance via WebAssembly means a wider variety of programs are now viable on the web.
And yet AWS is pretty reliable overall, and certainly better than most in-house systems even at large companies.

The stated purpose of AZ (the A stands for "availability") would suggest that this is not true. If AWS is running AZ foo and bar on the same server rack, then they're not being honest about what an AZ is. I'm not saying that's impossible, but that if they lying about this, that's a bigger problem.
He does explain it in the article:

- use `&mut` references to allow the borrow checker to statically enforce only one reference to the IP exists at a time (the major unique feature of Rust is the borrow checker which basically only allows one mutable reference at a time

- use an `UncloneableIp` new type that doesn't implement `Clone` to prevent the IP from being copied
Wrong. The only purpose of companies is to do shareholders bidding.
I'm wary of any educational information coming out of the USSR. Good to know, though. It makes sense that trying to force development where the child isn't ready for it will cause them to struggle.

There is a lot to be said for shitty bike infrastructure causing confrontations like this. Yet somehow I've never been hit except once in a right hook, so I'm sure you can pull it off too if you dedicate yourself to it.

I'd like to point out that the carbon footprint of a used bike is a negative number and the out-of-pocket cost is laughably low. I love when people can reduce their emissions by replacing a car with something with much less impact like an e-bike, but those are the exceptions statistically speaking, and it also doesn't delete that car from existence but rather brings about more demand for mining and materials. Buying used e-bikes is also a fine option.

What is the point of your article? Is it to figure out whether an LLM can run recursion?

If so, did you try anything else but the Fibonnaci function? How about asking it to calculate you the factorial of 100,000, for example? Or the Ackermann function for 8,8, or something mad like that. If an LLM returns any result that means it's not calculating anything and certainly not computing a recursive function.
Aha , well spotted.

Thanks.
I'm not defending MailChimp (this devtools thing is pretty awful) but "just DIY it" is a bit glib. DIY'ing what MailChimp provides is... a lot.

I wrote a sort of "DIY MailChimp" for a marketer back in the ancient days of the early 2000s. I did the tracking and email content bits.

I did not handle the email servers themselves. Lot of work staying off of blacklists. It was something close to a fulltime job back then, and from what folks have told me it might be more like multiple fulltime jobs these days. Lots of anti-spam regulations to adhere to, and one or two false steps and you're going to wind up in an absolute hell where other email providers (Yahoo, Gmail, whoever) are not going to talk to your servers.

Also need to figure out email templates that render consistently across webmail providers and browsers and mail clients. That is also a loooot.

Making a consumer-friendly UI like Mailchimp is another massive task, but I guess you can skip that for your "DIY" solution.

Again, I'm not defending Mailchimp. I hope I never have to dip my toes into this area again. It is hell.

> How do you define if it is or not distributed to merit?

Work performance?

No. The price system is very efficient at certain kinds of allocation, but not in all or even most cases.

> I mean literally any worker can gove notice and change employers, it is at will employment on both sides.

Only if you have enough savings to survive without income and/or you can easily find a comparable job, which is not even true for many high-wage tech employees anymore.

> You enjoyed it during great resignation, where IT workers would jump ship every year and get 50% raise.

Yes, that was temporary.

> You realize labor union will put a hard stop on job hopping?

It won't, because it currently doesn't. This is not at all an established phenomenon.

> You will have to work for the same company for decades with 1.5% pay raise at best! Imagine working for sweatshop amazon for a decade lol

This simply isn't true. Even labor unions that struggle to negotiate with management are doing better than 1.5% over a decade. I'd be interested to see some data on this, but I'd bet that median union-negotiated wages are rising at about the same rate as median non-union-negotiated wages (read: slower than inflation). I say "median" and not "average" because there will be high earners who have seen huge pay increases recently that would skew the mean upwards.
Thanks, If I thought a bit before I typed I would have realized that. Most of my code the last 12 years has been C on dsPICs, but coworkers have been designing in ST micros recently. I am not very fond of the HAL system, but lots of folks seem to love it. I like setting all the registers myself.
I wouldn't bet on that. Back in 2020 Google photos had a "technical glitch" that resulted in videos getting leaked to other users.

Maybe I'm holding it wrong, but my experience with sqlx is a bit more lukewarm. It's really great that compilation success means that you didn't fuck up any queries, but... there's just SO much boilerplate. I find that due to Rust's extremely strict type system, I have to create dedicated record structs for all of my domain models representing how a model is stored in the database. So once everything's up and running it almost always implies there's essentially no bugs, but man is getting there a drag.

Also, testing is quite annoying too. If you're using sqlite, you can use in-memory mode and that's quite nice. But for other databases you basically have only two options: 1. setup and teardown an actual testing db 2. wrap your sqlx interfacing code in something vaguely resembling the repository pattern and create an in-memory implementation for testing. I'd call both of these options less than ideal.
Nope, both of those are usually capitalized in title case. Only articles and prepositions are lowercased.

> But wasn't this the promise with JavaScript already, a Turing-complete language in the browser to end the need for more features of HTML?

The problem is javascript sucks. We want to be able to write any kind of application, but we don't want to have to do it in javascript. Ideally, this would mean that you pick Java or C# instead and use one of several cross-platform UI frameworks, but I've never found a native UI framework that was as easy to work with as HTML. If C# would just let us write native UI with HTML and CSS (and not just using electron), then I would never write a webapp again
Your starting assumption is invalid.
One thing is that the CS curriculum at better schools is not "job-skill" focused. At least in the early years it is fundamental theory of computing and languages. How to solve problems with numerical methods and algorithms. OS and compiler stuff. Along with all sorts of other math, science, and humanities courses.
Rec Room and VR Chat are examples, but personally I'm in the camp that you should focus on building fun games that people want to play first then worry about turning it into an evergreen experience if you really want to make a 'Metaverse' (ex: like what Fortnite has done).

Record Gallery kept going into the late 2010s; it moved across the street to 1451 Webster in 2008, though it had declined pretty steeply toward the end, and I think didn't make it out of the pandemic fully intact. 1451's now a vintage boutique (I think) with a few records left in it.

Maybe this says more about how I personally use this, but I dont consider FIXME labels to denote technical debt per se. It mostly denotes a "will implement later' top-down prioritisation strategy regarding order of implementing things.

E.g. returning a NotaimplementedError may have a a FIXME / TODO next to it to help me find such places in code quickly.

True technical debt is stuff like 'lets just use a csv file for now and pretens its a proper solution and totally not give any thought on whether we have an appropriate infrastructure to accommodate a proper database that we will inevitably need down the line'.
It’s the freeway fallacy though.

Zoning ‘overhead’ is people trying to control perceived negative effects and assert boundaries on what they will and will not accept.

Building more freeways doesn’t result in lower traffic for any length of time, because traffic increases based on available capacity in high demand areas.

If we put a billion houses on Manhattan (somehow), there would still be ‘in’ and ‘out’ areas with high prices and restrictions, with those high prices driven by managed scarcity.

Because being selective is a large part of HOW an area becomes and stays desirable. It’s not possible for one to stay that way for long without some attempt to defend itself, in my experience.

Saying ‘prices wouldn’t be high and we could all have what we want if we just got rid of zoning’ doesn’t reflect what is really going on.

Now, busting the worst offenders with artificial scarcity, like monopoly/trust busting, could easily have a lot of value as it has gotten over the top in a lot of areas.

But frankly, remote work and increasing costs of funding should do a lot of that anyway here soon.
Not OP, but this wasn't my experience at all. Pretty effortlessly switched away from Microsoft Office even before Libreoffice overtook OpenOffice (not sure of the year I switched, but I'd wager 2008 or so?). And the Google suite was an excellent supplement when OO/LO was fucking something up.

Personally, I suspect it's autism rather than ADHD (and Inattentive-type ADHD, AKA: ADD). In my experience the people I've known who have just ADHD tend to be better at filtering out external stimuli than those I've known with Autism. And likewise the folks I've known who have both ADHD and Autism tend to have a harder time filtering out stimuli, or getting distracted by particular stimuli, than those with just ADHD.

That said, my own personal (and very unscientific) theory is that ADHD and Autism are merely differing manifestations of the same neurological phenomenon. So I could see that somebody who has ADHD might be more sensitive than a neurotypical person.
This is why it's not possible to slow down or "stop" AI: once the problems are solved the solutions turn out to be trivial to replicate. All it takes is compute.
