As someone who mainly uses pandas, what is the benefit of using DuckDB to write your queries over using pandas (or polars) to operate on the data. Is it that you can already subset the data without loading it into memory?
It seems as if I live more in the “real world” than your fantasies about how the world of business actually operates:

Oh, but of course, only if I set aside the “kool-aid” of citing the examples of the dominant startup players of the past decade.

Perhaps you should, again, grow beyond your ideological name-calling to a rational engagement with the world, which actually involves everything I’ve described.
Endless growth of unprofitable services is what has given us crazy market distortions in the past. It's what gave us things like Groupon, Doordash, and Uber, too. Growth isn't always a good goal.
What this is talking about is the behavior of [] in C and C++. In these

x[y]

and

y[x]

are the same. I was first introduced to this by a friend of mine many many years ago (because I'm an old) as

for (i = 0; etc)
putc(i["hello world"])

or similar nonsense.

The C++ change that makes this matter is that apparently pre c++17 doesn't enforce sequencing such that expression1[expression2] doesn't require expression1 be evaluated before expression2. C++17 does actually fix the sequencing to be left to right, so now expression1[expression2] will always evaluate as expression1;expression2 and expression2[expression1] will always evaluated as expression2;expression1 without depending on UB.
Yeah, I talked to a project manager who was in the loop on one of these things once. They took suggestions for cost-cutting measures and apparently lots of people suggested getting rid of the soda (not me - I drank probably half a gallon of Sprite Zero a day back then). She said that for a global company with a couple billion in revenue, the soda costs were about $50K/year. Which tracks - these were fast food style fountains and my understanding is that the profit margins at retail are huge.

I'm an entry-level software developer. I have 6 years of experience with data analysis, problem-solving, and critical thinking. I specialize in full-stack development and database design. While I lack industry experience, I have drive and ambition in spades. I'm very flexible when it comes to how I could contribute to your team and add value. I'm passionate about growth and self-improvement and have no doubt I could hit the ground running and provide valuable help to your team.
Once I saw step 1, I initially stopped reading, knowing it had failed. But continuing to read, I now see that at step 1, the hoje eats the mantiple, and at step 3, the hoje eats the blurple. Then at step 4, the hoje eats the mantiple a second time.

That really, really, really demonstrates something. I'm not sure what.
We are already an international team (Swiss, Italian, German, UK) and are open to EU/EEA candidates. All project language is English. While German is an advantage, we care more about your attitude and sharing our passion for mountains, nature and freestyle.
have you made any in the past? or do you have some potential hunches on how to do them?
Probably they would get free coffee.
I agree, although I really wish Django and sqlAlchemy would have evolved similar methods/APIs. My struggle is flipping between projects that use one or the other and tripping over the syntax.

> So, the infringement is on the part of the seller, and you have a high barrier to sue Adobe for that.

No, you don’t, Adobe just has a low barrier to suck the source of the image into the case as an additio al defendano and a potential additional de¹1¹fense against any claim of willful infringement.

OTOH, Adobe would like potential plaintiffs to think that it works the way you describe.

I don't know how far you'd get with an amd64 core that didn't support x86. I mean you couldn't run Windows on it. You probably could run Surface as it's almost certainly legacy-free as it can run on ARM.
At my company there is a room full of office supplies - called the supply room. If you need something you go and get it there. It has all the usual things. If they run low, they buy more. If things aren't running low, they don't buy more. As a new employee you are told where this is and you get what you need when you need it. If you don't need it, you don't take it. Seems like a pretty sensible system.
Thanks for the suggestion. I like that idea and will give it a shot.
Any possible business arrangement has the potential for perverse incentives.

If an advisor is willing to accept the potential for perverse incentives on the part of the advisee, that's strong evidence that the advisor is confident about their advice.

If the advisor expects the advisee to accept the risk of perverse incentives on the part of the advisor, then caveat emptor.

There may be good reasons to structure the relationship that way. For example I expect to pay a lawyer, and usually I don't expect to receive financial gain out of the relationship. But conversely it becomes very important for me to establish that this lawyer seems like a good one before I pay too much.

But it all boils down to the same thing. I should be more inclined to trust offers to share in my future profits than offers have me pay now for an uncertain reward later.
> Why don't we first automate the jobs that need to be done, but nobody wants to do anymore?

Why do you think nobody is working on automating that? And if nobody wants to do these jobs why is anyone doing these jobs right now?
In the literature on mazes, the distinction you are talking about is described to using the terms "simply connected" abd "multiply connected" from topology.

Software paradigm change with ChatGPT/GPT-4
> if AI assistance can increase the speed you can develop & iterate the product to better match user needs that is how it can result in a better product.

That's a very big "if", and one I just don't think will exist.

Also, that only helps at the beginning. Add the product gets more complex, I believe the AI will help less and less until velocity will become slower than companies like mine.

And product/market fit is just a way for companies to cover up the fact that their founders wanted to found a company, not solve a real problem. If you solve a real problem first, founding a company is simple and you "just" have to sell your solution.
The rise of ChatGPT and GPT-4 technology is bringing about a new paradigm of software development that promises to be faster, cheaper, and more efficient than ever before, with the potential to decrease software manufacturing costs, create new roles like "product engineers," and shift the focus towards distribution and pricing as a key defensibility factor for organizations.

Provocative ideas about how software paradigm is shifting.

I am a (applied) mathematician turned software engineer. I have worked at backend services and iOS apps. I have some side projects involving micro controllers and kernel programming. Last job was on a haskell shop, I would like to keep using functional programming at work if possible. Problem domains with lots of data analysis are great as I can use my math background.
The look you get depends a lot on the prompts. You can get widely different results from different prompts. If you think it only has one style you either haven't used it much or are haven't experimented much with your prompts.

Who do you plan to sell to ? Foreign flagged vessels ? Foreign ports? This will have a big impact on the crew running the ship.

Who is going to run maintenance on your sail/ device ? Do you expect the ships engineers to be trained on your systems and run routine maintenance?

Finally, I think you need to learn a tremendous amount about stevedores and expectations on your container being placed in the correct place everytime.
Your best option is to dump the displaylink dock and go to a dp alt mode dock or tb3/usb4 dock if your device has a compatible port.

It's only a cliche, because westerners are often just as obsessed with face, though having a foot in two cultures there are a few big places where the difference is noticable:

US (and by extension NATO, doctrinally) military is very unconcerned with face in the small. For (real example) anyone on the bridge of a US ship can report to the captain of a ship that the ship is out of position (for an exercise). A buddy almost got walloped on the bridge of a ROK ship for doing that. They didn't because he was American and that's what exchanges are for.

some cultures in the west tend to value bluntness over face in the small.

Oh, nice! I'm really surprised that they go the flettner way, but I'm sure they did more calculations than me (i.e. > 0).

This entire approach is really just a matter of sufficiently cheap implementation I think. (and perhaps a bit of judicial modernization when it comes to unmanned units on international waters?)

When you can build a unit cheap enough to recoup manufacture and maintenance from the fuel harvested, it would be no less meaningful than crossing the break-even in fusion. I guess unattended hydrolyzation would be the main open todo?
My experience with Asus products is that they use cheap vital components and thus result in a lot of future cost. This has been corroborated by multiple computer repair technicians independently of each other.
I really wish you had used one of the existing standards in place like .devcontainer or a Devfile. Frustrating to see a solution emerge that uses its own declarative devenv standard. Portability is also an important feature and I wish the industry would converge on one or two.

The correct interpretation is that relying on tools like MidJourney can be a liability for the exact reason that this can go any which way and the legality issue is rather gray. So the point still stands that many companies would rather have a more clear-cut tool like Adobe Firefly without having to worry about potential liability.
I’d pay extra if they remove FM too. My previous car always blasted the radio when started. The radio is either white noise or people talking or music that isn’t mine… not sure which is worse.

I just want to avoid going back to the time before Apple products were nice and relatively affordable, I hated buying a crappy Windows PC every other year and never being satisfied with it.

Unfortunately NHS is in terrible shape at the moment after many cuts. It is performing at the level of a 2nd world country.

Czechia has canver survival 30% higher than UK does.

I lived in Czechia, we had a proton therapy center for Twenty Years. England got one just recently.

There is a story where larents in Britain had to steal their child from a hospital, to take her to czechia for Proton beam therapy.
The UK doctors have declared her terminally ill, refused to let parents take her for other treatment and after parents kidnapped tbeir own child, theyl parents were declared wanted in Interpol, launching internstional manhunt.

They foung in court to get thei4 chance to treat a child, took child to czechia, went through therapy and now child is in scholl and free of cancer

If theu had trusted the NHS their child would be dead.

Not that I know of, pubnix and tilde server seem to be synonymous in this space.
I've honestly become so used to CMake at this point I just use it for everything C/C++ related.

I do still use Makefiles directly when there isn't an environment to search for - namely AVR projects where there are no libs to find.
The updated version would look fairly similar, except most things would be routed to feed into either PulseAudio, ALSA or Jack. After that, it would be one big Dumb Funnel into PipeWire and out to your hardware.

Also a lot of that stuff is arguably obsolete. 90% of Linux apps will just dump audio to PulseAudio, which is neatly managed through PipeWire. A few professional apps use JACK2, which is also PW managed. Everything else will default to an ALSA sink wired through, you guessed it, PipeWire. It's like a boring and remarkably stable version of the Wayland situation.
Interesting article. Co-pilot-X like technologies are already showing that we are going that direction, but in the future, GPT will create its programming language that is more optimised to generate code.

> Per capita income for Poles, Italians, Russian, and Germans is higher than median US per capita income.

US per capita income is higher than US median personal income (that’s what happens with concentrated-at-the-top instead of normal distributions.) But you probably mean “mean” rather than “median” since that’s what your source actually provides.
I have that impression too. Without having directly experienced it myself, it seems like a hellish system. Though it does at least seem like getting “purged” isn’t always final, and that execution is the last choice.

Xi Jinping himself got purged in his youth and spent that time living and working in the countryside and building his ‘man of the common people’ cred, then made it back into the CCP’s favor later. Though Xi was a princeling, his father was one of Mao’s inner circle, so he might have been untouchable and only at risk of exile and not actual execution for that reason, unlike most other CCP members and Chinese people.

And to be fair, US politicians spend most of their time fundraising for their next campaign, so in terms of total ability and time spent on the job it’s probably similar in both systems. But losing a power struggle in the US just means losing your election, and trying again in the next one. In the CCP there’s a wider range of consequences.
If someone is logging into fastmail every day how does preventing this from being remembered help?
Nuclear powered cargo ships are generally not viable outside of a few niche roles. Trained operators are too expensive and in limited supply. Many nations won't allow such vessels into port due to concerns over security and accidents. There is an obvious risk of terrorist attacks to steal nuclear material or just cause a radiological incident. And several large merchant ships sink every year; no one wants a sunken reactor contaminating their coastal waters.

Even navies make very little use of nuclear power. It is mostly only for aircraft carriers and submarines. Experiments with nuclear powered surface combatants were mostly failures.

A more viable approach would be to locate the nuclear reactors on land where they can be operated more safely and economically. Then use the generated heat and power to manufacture carbon neutral synthetic fuels to power ships.
Better question: why did C and C++ not define this as left to right (the answer is perf claims decades ago, that are not really valid now, and questionable even then).

The example

a[b]

doesn't really exhibit the unexpected, but as I understand it

f()->a[b()]

could evaluate as

temp = b()
f()->a[temp]

which it seems reasonable to consider unexpected. The lack of left to right sequencing here seems not-dissimilar to the lack of sequencing in call arguments, which was also realized to be a needless footgun and fixed.
Founding engineer here if you have questions on the engineering side of things.
From the Wikipedia link at the top of the thread:

“The screenplay was written by Kubrick and science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, and was inspired by Clarke's 1951 short story "The Sentinel" and other short stories by Clarke. Clarke also published a novelisation of the film, in part written concurrently with the screenplay, after the film's release.”
> Big muscles don't mean much with a small brain attached to them.

It says a lot you think ‘big muscles’ are a thing: the most popular divisions of UFC don’t have big muscular fighters.
I tend to agree that there are no shortcuts. However I do think you can be disciplined in one area (e.g. work) and lack discipline in another (e.g. diet and exercise).

So discipline is not an on or off switch for a person, it's more granular and nuanced than that.
