> I'm going to keep saying it - unionising has been a bad stratagy that loses.

Perhaps rather than repeating yourself, you should consider defining what you mean by losing and backing up your claim with data.
Your challenge piqued my curiosity. ;)

SQLite sells support, licensing, and services using a small staff of engineers. See https://sqlite.org/prosupport.html The premium support contract is $120k/year, and it appears from the website that they have at least 4 such clients. See https://www.sqlite.org/index.html#consortium_members But even if those are all past clients, all things considered--support tiers, US domestic engineering staff, etc--it seems likely their annual revenue is at least $500K, and would not be surprising if more than $2M.

It would be interesting to hear concrete sources, though.
In all my life I have also never needed to defend myself in any way; I've never been in a fight. Therefore, no one needs to defend themselves ever and all forms of self-defence are bogus.

All it takes is pissing off the wrong person on the internet; knocking a server offline is surprisingly easy.

as someone that’s never needed SEO perks of a .com since none of my customers would use a search engine to find me (they’ll click thru from posts and ads on social media and group chats)

I typically register both a new TLD and a .com, and I use the .com for the email campaigns and reply-to

if it gets flagged that doesnt affect my more official one-to-one emails from the actual domain

so I would say, maybe? because I’m not allergic to “bloody stupid” TLD’s and have already adapted to what you’re wondering about

I started learning React a few days ago (for Next.js). It's not Native, but it's similar I guess. What has been working for me?

Read the React docs (do the tic tac toe project work, go through all of their fundamental/learning docs). Then build some small things.
Some people in the auto industry want to double the voltage again (for efficiency and to reduce the weight/complexity requirements for all the wiring, especially in EVs) but the 12 volt standard is pretty entrenched.

(Note that I'm talking about the voltage used for everything outside of the internal engine/li-ion electrical systems, which already use higher voltages as needed.)

Well they'd see job growth far in excess of the 5% that is causing this fuss. There is a shortage of medical care and a lot of good people who want to go in and make life better for others. Warms the heart to see their efforts, even if legislation is causing a lot of the work to go to waste.

I expect the average wage of doctors are paid would rise, employment would certainly rise, and if we look at the real outcomes the doctors would have a better quality of life (as would we all) because medical care would be better. So I think they'd probably see nominal pay rises, but even if you want to be pessimistic and assume they were nominally paid less, their quality of life would probably improve.

The basic strategy of unions is to not work sometimes and pick fights with employers. That isn't making anyone better off in the real world.
Presumably also the Arduino-style GPIO, pin-out docs [1], and just overall detailed docs like the power supplies page [2]. Good docs and schematics were not unusual forty+ years ago but are probably fair to describe as a “hackable” feature today.

Thanks. I’ve just wasted 2 hours.

Loved the game.

To make it generate winnable games just start from a solution and keep expanding it until you get to the initial game state.
The correct answer
> One principle duct tape programmers understand well is that any kind of coding technique that’s even slightly complicated is going to doom your project. Duct tape programmers tend to avoid C++, templates, multiple inheritance, multithreading, COM, CORBA, and a host of other technologies that are all totally reasonable, when you think long and hard about them, but are, honestly, just a little bit too hard for the human brain.

Here we are 14 years latter still trying to figure out what simple actually means & is. Which is as it should be.

The marketplace of ideas for good software has grow a lot more options & a lot more refined, but most of us chase an altogether remarkably similar (if not identical) cup. Values are more aligned than most realize or would acknowledge.
This is just comically wrong, I'm sorry. The grand exchange is literally one of the closest implementations of an in-game item exchange that I've seen that's similar to an actual stock exchange. It's a double sided market using a price-time order book. It's basically a dark pool. Jagex literally took one of the cornerstones of modern capitalism and copied it into their game for their commodities/item exchange.

The only thing that seems even vaguely authoritarian (which is what I assume you mean by socialist, even though that's basically the opposite of the words meaning) was during the no-free-trade thing after their payment processor almost kicked them off due to chargebacks from botters using stolen credit cards to buy membership.

If anything, the original state of W2 was a lot more socialist than the GE is.
As is, it appears to mostly be:

major version = backwards compatibly break

minor version = forward compatible break

I think this is how it has always been, in general. I've seen many new people very confused by python 3 code not running with "python3". The very embarrassing answer is "You can't really know what the minimum python version unless it's documented, or you scan it with an external tool".

Is there a reasonable alternative? Pip upgradable transpiler?
Me thinks it's the thought that it could work that is freaky, not the mechanism itself. If you think governments demanding backdoors to encryption is bad now, what if that tech worked? All it would take is a kidnapping case like in "The Cell" for things to get very uncomfortable.

Which of the following sounds easier? Getting a letter of intent from a business looking to buy your product. Or building an entire product and trying to convince businesses that they need to use your solution.

Neither are easy, but the latter is just the former but with more steps and you'll probably have to make a ton of changes to your original solution before anyone buys.

Great question!

We take user privacy very seriously. We don't share your data with anyone and will never sell your phone number or email.

We store all data with industry standard encryption and limit the duration that data is available on our servers. We also hash things like phone numbers so that they don't appear in our database.

We do work with some external providers, like Open AI, Twilio, and Apple for generating responses, and sending texts, iMessages, and emails. Of course they can see your data, as can your phone carrier. As with any AI service, limit the personal information that you send to it.

I'm happy to answer any other questions.
James Hamilton of AWS fame touched on this in 2022 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfjFHa5wY0E). He has a thesis that servers will move towards single board PCBs similar to how mobile devices. This feels like the first step in that direction so look forward to seeing what's next.
Presumably you would already have a relationship with the client by, say, working at one of their vendors or having been an employee.

> But that isn't even important. What matters here is unionising won't make it better. It'll probably cause them to revert to the mean by driving wealth out of software companies. Companies don't sack people out of a love of sacking people.

Hollywood talent having unions hasn't driven wealth out of the entertainment industry.

How would you "drive the wealth out" without eliminating demand for software, which has been on a long upward trend because it underpins so much and because increased productivity leads to demand for further productivity increases + maintenance of the existing increases?

If it's just some "unionized employees are lazy and don't actually do stuff" trope, I don't buy it.

The Hollywood model has always seemed like it could work quite well for software companies, especially startups or "release-oriented" things like games.

* wildly different success rates for different project, resulting in wildly different compensation depend on what project you're on

* generally short "try to make a big hit in just a few years" time frames

* sometimes things turn into long-lived recurring series

* incentives to push crunch time and other crazy work practices if not checked by something

Obviously it's not a perfect 1:1 match everywhere, but a lot of similarities and it's an example of creative, flexible work happening with collective bargaining and better-than-government-mandated minimum standards.

The union/non-union split could even end up looking like a split between top-tier VCs and studios and everyone else hustling trying to break in...
Ive built a couple systems that would have been datomic’s bread and butter.

Each time the company was more comfortable with mainstream dbs, so we ended going with something like you’re talking about, built on top of a db. A couple of the projects were because a mainstream dbs wouldn’t scale.

The systems definitely worked, but it was also a lot of implementation complexity on an other wise simple business prop: “store this data as facts”
I don’t really understand how this is a paradox, but it’s definitely surprising and non intuitive.

It seems like if you have 2 games A and B, the second you start playing them together you’ve effectively created a new game C, which is a game of A and B combined.
That's besides the point. This is in the context of spending money on people when they get all weird about it. Saying that I got these points that are expiring so we have to go to dinner at a moderately upscale restaurant turns the table on "I'm buying you dinner because I want to spend time with you, I don't want to cook, and I know dinner at this restaurant is half your whole food budget for the month." into them doing you the favor of not leaving points/money on the table.

Still though, $200 for (half) of dinner, on a card giving 5% Cashback is $4,000, and that doesn't have to be spent in one month.
> Is Parrondo's paradox really a "paradox"? This question is sometimes asked by mathematicians, whereas physicists usually don't worry about such things. The first thing to point out is that "Parrondo's paradox" is just a name, just like the "Braess's paradox" or "Simpson's paradox." Secondly, as is the case with most of these named paradoxes they are all really apparent paradoxes. People drop the word "apparent" in these cases as it is a mouthful, and it is obvious anyway. So no one claims these are paradoxes in the strict sense. In the wide sense, a paradox is simply something that is counterintuitive. Parrondo's games certainly are counterintuitive—at least until you have intensively studied them for a few months. The truth is we still keep finding new surprising things to delight us, as we research these games. I have had one mathematician complain that the games always were obvious to him and hence we should not use the word "paradox." He is either a genius or never really understood it in the first place. In either case, it is not worth arguing with people like that.

I work in the IoT space, specifically around food and beverage production. Its been my experience that people who have a job solving problems are perfectly happy to dump their problems off on you if its cheap enough. Cheap enough might even be several thousand dollars a year.

Everyone has more problems than they can pay attention to, so mostly you are probably looking at people you have direct contact with. Competing in an industry you have no experience in is going to be a very different experience.
I think spammers are just excuse that Google hides behind. I had static IP address for a decade, never used it to send spam (I filered SMTP ports from NATed clients), made sure I'm not blacklisted on any RBLs, configured SPF and DKIM.

Yet suddenly my emails go to spam in gmail.

Now, there's no way for me to do anything, because I'm nobody.

As for spam, my bayesian filter works just fine, so if I can successfully filter spammers out, I think Google can as well.

I feel like Google is doing this purposefully to make people like me to simply give up, and observing responses, it is successful.

> Hollywood talent having unions hasn't driven wealth out of the entertainment industry.

The stereotype is starving actors and artists. I don't want to copy their strategies. I want to be a capitalist in a free market; we have wine and big comfortable leather bound chairs. People who like joining unions seem to get angry with me because my approach leads to me having huge amounts of stuff.

I happen to fund my capitalist ways with a software engineers salary, which is quite high. If I get sacked once a decade or so I'm still going to crush most of Hollywood in terms of economic outcomes.

I'm serious here, as far as I can tell unionising is a bad idea. I wouldn't do that if I was trying to live a wealthy and comfortable life.

I'd say Americans generally expect butter to be used in situations where it's intended to melt. So we use butter on hot toast, hot waffles, baked potatoes, hot dinner rolls, and so forth.

On sandwiches we use mayonnaise since the sandwich is cold, and the eggy flavor of mayo is really tasty, and cold mayo is easy to spread but cold butter is not -- if you used regular sandwich bread it would most likely tear.

Plain room-temp bread and butter we don't eat much of, but that's because sandwich bread isn't usually very good by itself, not because of the quality of the butter.

I think the butter-with-hot-food thing might also be because we usually keep butter in the fridge. I'm aware some people keep butter at room temperature so it's spreadable, but that's never been popular in the US.

I just bought a couple of the predecessor (Delta 3) boards last week. One interesting thing about LattePanda boards is that they are among the cheapest, most direct ways to run Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise IoT with a legitimate license.

Or maybe the entire structure has been upturned.

My story: laid off 3/20 because of the pandemic. Had a nice gig with a nonprofit that saw their revenue crater because of lockdowns. Followed by a year of contract work, followed by a year working for an established firm owned by private equity. PE went slash and burn in 2/22, went to a startup in March only to have their Series C fail to close, another startup in June with funding, who did a 30% layoff in December because they needed to conserve capital-their funding plans for 2023 fell apart. I had more jobs in the last 3 years than I’ve had in the previous 25.

So with all due respect- f** off.

> I highly doubt gold farms are fully human.

You'd be correct. Bot farms often use human mules to pick up the gold, then they use human intermediaries to sold the gold to (who in turn operate gold selling operations, everything is pretty specialized).

> Do you have a source as to gold farming being fully done by humans?

From past experience, there are fully human gold farms since sometimes it has been cheaper for people to hire poor people from the third world for slave wages and it helps avoid bot detection. Most setups are hybrids, someone willing to run a gold farm is also likely running bots, humans, and hybrid as covered above.
