Harrison had a completely different arc than John and Paul.

He was ascendant when the Beatles broke up and Paul and especially John had kind of already gone past their peak. You can watch "Get Back" and think George was being annoying butting into John and Paul's writing. Or you can notice John is an annoying addict/drunk in almost every scene where work is happening.

It was their failure not to realize how much of an asset George had developed into.

I find it odd sometimes how penning the lyrics for a song is considered so much more important (artistically & legally) than everything else. There are plenty of songs where the guitar part or piano/keys part is what made the song a success and which would not have been hits just based on the lyrics. Likewise for beats and drums in genres in which the beats/production makes or breaks the song.

Even if you could have replaced Harrison with someone as good as Clapton or Beck the Beatles would not have been the same.

I think this is a Theranos reference that went over everyone's heads. Theranos were using Siemens machines while pretending to use their own technology. Obviously Tesla is not doing anything like this, and GP's point is that they are not similar.
I think this is probably somewhat a pitfall of using this example as a lead.

Design rules like "fewer borders are better" don't tell the story well, but they're easy to teach people. It's harder and less grabby to say something like:

Over reliance on borders to separate types of content can lead to designs where contrast between elements is too sharp and it's harder to read through information. Designers should have a sense for information hierarchy and follow that through in their application. Have a point of view and use the visual design to express that. Tools you can use to create that hierarchy are things like borders, shadows, fills, scale, and space. Using all in concert, you can make a design that feels harmonious, but also allows users to freely navigate through the interface.

That advice is probably harder to grok, and isn't as punchy because it can't be used as a simple diagnostic (do we have fewer borders?), but it is realistic.
The hiring process this day and age is just brutal, i.e., not efficient.
That's not how Corporate Accountability works. If you tender your resignation and I continue to provide you access to the systems then I'm accountable for having continued your access to those systems.

If you exfiltrated confidential data prior to tendering your resignation then no one remaining in the organization is responsible for your actions. It may trigger a policy review to minimize the exfiltration of confidential data, but no one remaining is accountable. Moreover, the exfiltration of confidential data will put you in felony land and your employer will prosecute. You're guaranteed to lose your new job too, and likely never work again.

No, what most employees do instead - for those who do these kinds of things, which is exceedingly rare - is destroy data. That is extremely damaging to an enterprise.

There are plenty of motivations to get your rear end away from the keyboard! Some are legally mandated, depending upon which industry you're working in.
Not to mention, what are they expecting the client to do with the header? Block every request that exceeds some particular CO2 budget? (after it already happened of course). Have fun with a broken, partially loaded site because a random fraction of the requests don't come through.

And that's assuming that no user disables the filter because they really really need to see those cat pictures (like they do with MITM'ed TLS connections) and that servers are always truthful and don't just put a zero everywhere (which would save the CO2 otherwise spent on calculating the estimated CO2 emissions though).
I think a balance of the classic macOS and iOS experience and app- and function-specific elements are key for the feel.

I made a dozen prototypes and variants over the last month. I iterate as I use the app myself. I keep what feels just right, I improve what I feel is not quite there, I remove what doesn’t work. I make an effort to prioritize function over form while tending to form within and around function: high-density informaton, self-evident controls, haptic feedback, visual cues, and evolving and adapting controls and layout to what feels right. It is taste as much as it is engineering.

SwiftUI does make it easier by an order of magnitude or three. It just needs to be understood for it to work well. It has to mixed with Cocoa and UIKit for native controls and native interactions (such as properly handling a scroll view’s offset).

I've seen Uni-ball 207 recommended too. I also have some Mont Blanc fountain pen ink that claims to forgery resistant (meeting ISO 14145-2) that I've used to for check writing. Here's a YouTube video about the subject [1].

Noodlers ink (also available on jetpens.com) is said to have forgery resistant inks as well. I don't have any of it, but I do have some of Noodlers invisible ink--you need an ultraviolet light source to see it.

I think the OP meant more, "the only rich people".

Having enough money to have the direct line to someone important in a political party is valuable. Enough prosecutors have a mind for future ambitions and understand that some battles just aren't worth fighting.

That doesn't make for straight up immunity, but it does change the calculus enough that so long as no one else really cares about your crime, they can let it slide or negotiate it down to something trivial.
Exactly!

OpenAI are the only people who are shipping product like absolute maniacs. If I can’t use your fancy system, it doesn’t exist as far as I’m concerned. There’s a mountain of theoretical work, I don’t need a press release on top of it.

The game now is no longer theory, it’s shipping code. A 4-year plan means fuck all when OpenAI is not only ahead, but still running way faster.

It seems like this page/preview conflates interaction design with aesthetic/cosmetic design.

Interaction design is like “which buttons even exist?”, “should this input be represented by a radio or a drop down?”, what is the navigation hierarchy?

You won’t automatically be good at interactions even if your sense of aesthetic is good.

The fact that people can't even detect this extremely obvious propaganda (let alone downvote when it's pointed out to them) is a troubling sign of declining critical thinking faculty.

T-shaped is a good way to go, career-wise. Being a generalist with deep knowledge in some specific area (in my case video processing/computer vision/firmware) turns out to be very marketable if you apply to places looking for the area you've got deep knowledge in. The fact that you're ALSO a good generalist make you a very attractive candidate.

If you can, look at new jobs/companies as opportunities to get deep experience in a new area since over time, stuff you're good at now will sometimes go away.

Introduction
Triggers are a powerful feature in Microsoft SQL Server that enables you to automatically execute a specified action when a certain event occurs on a specific table or view. They are particularly useful for enforcing business rules, maintaining data integrity, and auditing data changes. In this article, we’ll explore the different types of triggers, how to create and manage them and showcase some practical examples.

Triggers in SQL Server
Types of Triggers
There are three main types of triggers in SQL Server:

DDL Triggers: These triggers fire in response to Data Definition Language (DDL) events, such as CREATE, ALTER, or DROP statements.
DML Triggers: These triggers fire in response to Data Manipulation Language (DML) events, such as INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements.
Logon Triggers: These triggers fire in response to a LOGON event, allowing you to control and manage user logins.
Creating Triggers
To create a trigger, you use the CREATE TRIGGER statement, followed by the trigger name, the triggering event, and the action to perform. Here’s a simple example of a DML trigger that logs all deleted records to an audit table:

CREATE TRIGGER trg_AfterDelete
ON Employees
AFTER DELETE
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO EmployeeAudit
SELECT , GETDATE() AS DeleteDate
FROM deleted;
END;
In this example, the trigger trg_AfterDelete is created on the Employees table and fires after a DELETE event. When the trigger fires, it inserts the deleted record(s) into the EmployeeAudit table along with the current date and time.

Modifying Triggers
To modify a trigger, you use the ALTER TRIGGER statement, followed by the trigger name and the new action to perform. For example, you can update the trg_AfterDelete trigger to also log UPDATE events:

ALTER TRIGGER trg_AfterDelete
ON Employees
AFTER DELETE, UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (SELECT FROM deleted)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO EmployeeAudit
SELECT , GETDATE() AS ActionDate, 'DELETE' AS ActionType
FROM deleted;
END

IF EXISTS (SELECT FROM inserted)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO EmployeeAudit
SELECT *, GETDATE() AS ActionDate, 'UPDATE' AS ActionType
FROM inserted;
END
END;
Disabling and Enabling Triggers

You can temporarily disable a trigger using the DISABLE TRIGGER statement:

DISABLE TRIGGER trg_AfterDelete ON Employees;
To enable the trigger again, use the ENABLE TRIGGER statement:

ENABLE TRIGGER trg_AfterDelete ON Employees;
Conclusion

Triggers in Microsoft SQL Server provide a powerful way to enforce data integrity, maintain business rules, and audit data changes. Understanding how to create, modify, and manage triggers can help you build robust and secure applications. As you explore triggers further, remember their potential impact on performance and choose wisely when and where to implement them.

My thoughts after 6 months working with DAML: A Smart Contract Language
It's risen ~97mm since 1993. The rate of increase in that rise has been increasing steadily since ~1993. The consistency of our data has also been much better since then (previously it was only the highly noisy coastal tide gauge data).

Fun fact: the slowest its been in the last century was when we did a crap-ton of dam projects in the 50s-70s, still rose, but very little.

100% agree. You need to catch up to OpenAI for starters and then figure out how to outpace them.
It wasn't like Twitter's business had a large technical barrier-to-entry. And Musk seems to be pissing away his non-technical barrier-to-entry just about as hard as he can.

Good luck to Substack on eating twitter's lunch!

Edit: That said, I've found mastodon (@jpmattia@mastodon.mit.edu) to be a much more pleasant interaction compared to twitter, so I'm curious what the landscape looks like in a couple of years.
I'm the GoodJob author. Here's the class that is responsible for implementing Postgres's LISTEN/NOTIFY functionality in GoodJob:

https://github.com/bensheldon/good_job/blob/10e9d9b714a668dc...

That's heavily inspired by Rail's Action Cable (websockets) Adapter for Postgres, which is a bit simpler and easier to understand:

https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/be287ac0d5000e667510faba...

Briefly, it spins up a background thread with a dedicated database connection and makes a blocking Postgres LISTEN query until results are returned, and then it forwards the result to other subscribing objects.

It takes patience to keep politely explaining the inadequacies of "5 people and the manager and the owner share the sole root backup credentials - which aren't cryptographic keys, so there is no way to tell whether data has been rewritten without the correct key - and tape backup responsibilities; and we have no way to verify the online database against the tape backups [so, can we write it off now]"

My issue is that I've taken an 18 months sabbatical, worked on my mental and physical health, and was ready to get back in the market, pumped, with the worst possible timing.

Extreme skeuomorphism I would agree is purely visual, but I think there’s a lot of functional value in buttons looking like buttons and other visual indicators of function.
USA, remote. I recently (Feb) found work. I did about 10-15 company interviews at various stages, lots of recruiter calls. I screened out easily 3x the amount of companies due to position requirements or salary. During my job search I probably had 100 or more messages from recruiters on linkedin. Got to the final round on 6. Received 3 offers, accepted one of them.

Not a lot of equity in the comp packages this time around (real equity anyway, plenty of funny money from startups). I accepted a salary of $200k, 20% annual cash bonus, small signing bonus. My overall comp is lower, but my cash is a touch higher and the stress is a lot less.

My background is Linux, k8s, golang, and python. I also write C/C++ occasionally. Don't really ever touch front end work or databases anymore. I don't have FAANG experience, but I have contributed to some large open source projects here and there. No degree.

If Elon was self-absorbed he'd be buying private yachts or private islands or massive mansions. He wouldn't be constantly talking about existential risks to humanity and trying to come up with ways of fixing them. Is Bill Gates self-absorbed? Much of what Elon Musk does is in a similar vein as the Gates Foundation, though often through for-profit companies.
Thanks for the kind words. All the best for you, too.

Fairly high profile people like Neil Gaiman created mastodon accounts so I think there definitely was the potential for something else to take over if that something else was user friendly enough. Mastodon was never going to be it but there were no other real options.

LLAMA isn't there and probably never will be, but the possibility of running something equivalent to ChatGPT has certainly made me reconsider my GPU purchases.

Honestly, you can basically do all of Substack + this Notes thing in Tumblr, maybe minus the email newsletter. Damn, that’s something I haven’t heard about in a long time; apparently they support paid content now.

No, that is mostly inaccurate. Thermal expansion is small, but there is an awful lot of water. As you point out yourself, thermal expansion contributes about half the sea level rise. Oceans absorb energy just like the atmosphere does and this effect has been known for quite a while (e.g. https://www.nature.com/articles/330127a0 ).
Again they're receiving more than just tax credits and rebates. They're also receiving loans, a recent $101 million Critical Industry Program grant, tariff protections, and on and on.

However, if you just want to talk taxes we can. A tax exemption or rebate is an asset given to you by the state. It operates not unlike loan forgiveness. You owed something and now they(the state) are waiving that liability.

Skeleton UI (Svelte + Tailwind) is how I go about it. The developer experience is very good. As for the UX, that's mostly just a matter of actually thinking about how people will use the app and taking the time to account for it.

In my experience, bad UIs are a product of laziness more than know-how.
I always look for small suppliers of a small niche. The people tend to know something about what they sell. It is worth paying a little more just to get good advice from someone who cares more than I do about the subject.

It's worth investigating the effect of ballpoint pen technology on society. Beyond cleanliness and general convenience, the ballpoint pen has stood as an example of technological innovation that makes the rounds in one form or another as the central figure of progress, yet there is a dark side to its past. The Fisher Space Pen did its part to promote the American space program of the 1960s and Xi used the lowly ballpoint as a sticking point to drive innovation into the 2020s, but you don't hear about the poor ergonomics, handwriting atrophy, or lack of cursive being taught in elementary school. We need to consider the analog along with the digital if we're going to elevate ourselves out of the mess we're wallowing in. The education system needs all the help it can get, but in addition to one laptop per child, it would be a good idea to give them analog clocks so they can tell time and fountain pens so they can learn the why and how to read cursive.
If the point is so opaque that four separate comments miss it, then maybe it was not well described in the first place.

It’s less a knee-jerk defense of Tesla and more of a knee-jerk “what are you talking about that’s absurd” because at face value it’s an exceptionally absurd claim.

Because it's useful to know if someone is wrong a lot, just like it's useful to know a clock is broken, and you don't need any fallacies for that.

For example, if someone misuses citations a lot, it's good to tell people that, even if you don't say anything about the particular subject.

I get it that you don't like this attack on the person rather than the post.

But it's not committing the fallacy of saying "it's him therefore it's wrong". The fallacy you describe about broken clocks is not happening. Saying either "it's him therefore it's weaker" or "it's him therefore it's useless" would not commit that fallacy. If a clock is sometimes broken then "weaker" is correct, and if a clock is always broken then "useless" is correct. And the impression I got was very much "it's him therefore it's weaker".

And it's not an irrelevant attack. Attacks on the way he constructs arguments are relevant to all arguments he makes.

You can't just claim it's a specific fallacy and then talk about how it's bad rhetoric in general as support of that claim.

> You're just kinda digging the hole deeper at this point, man. It's not even about time management, which is what people usually cite for this sort of epistemic learned helplessness, because you could've just saved your time by not even replying if that was what you were after.

Don't be an asshole, and I never said I was here to save time. I'm here to say that a couple accusations of specific fallacies are wrong.

Yeah but partisan gives you a "ton of stuff you might not need" plus the point is to treat distribution as a control plane and separate concerns from the data plane. There used to be things to worry about using Erlang distribution in general -- irrespective of backend, iirc, like HOL blocking (I think those are resolved now).
When you say low ball, do you mean compared to what FAANG companies pay (paid?) or do you mean compared to what non-tech Fortune 500 companies pay?
