Btw, I looked up prices for Indianapolis, a city I used to live north of.

The Indianapolis Indians, a minor league team that gets a lot of folks moving to major league, starts at $15 per ticket.
The Indianapolis Colts, a major league American Football team, $24.
The Indy Fuel tickets, a minor league hockey team, $11.
The Indy Eleven, a 'professional' soccer team, $11.
The Indiana Pacers, a major league basketball team, $8.

And Just for some fun:
Chicago White Sox: $11
Chicago Bulls: $12

Of course, some of these are minor league and your choice of sports and local sports team might be different. Chicago Bears tickets start at $49. The Bengals are considerably more than that.
There are actually 2 reports. The second one is here:

Same. Been seeing a lot of stuff operating out of Mexico City, and to a lesser extent, Greater Baja California for West Coast timezones. Did several projects with Mexican PMs but Chilean or Uruguayan support, esp. out of the Zona America in Uruguay.

On top of all of the reasons mentioned, Mexico is also attractive due to the NAFTA TN Visa, which makes it fairly easy to bring a resource across the border. Basically just need a valid job offer, enough experience and qualifications to check the box, and a fairly trivial application fee. No H1B nonsense, and quick turnaround.

I'd also disagree with the low skill of LATAM devs, I found they were generally pretty good compared to India or PI. If we had an SAP expert in MX we could feel pretty confident they'd know their stuff, while Tata or Cognizant would scrounge up anyone who could spell SAP and try to convince us they were qualified.
The beauty of GDPR is that it clearly distinguishes between a "data processor" and a "data controller". Services such as cloud computing providers, including databases used to store data, are merely data processors. You, the contracting party, would be the data controller, held liable for anything that happens with the data.

On the other hand, you have a business relationship with your services provider, and you're free to hold them accountable to any claims in the contract. In my experience, however, any liability is capped to some meager amount in the default ToS.

To answer your question, you need to clarify what you'd be liable for. When you're the data controller, the answer to your question is almost always yes.
The price has kept up with inflation - but now the average person who can afford regular movie tickets can have a better viewing experience at home.

It's fun to go to the theater for the 1 or 2 blockbusters per year that I actually want to see - and be around the excitement / see it on the big screen.

For anything else, I'd MUCH rather stay at home. Even if it was free to see it in the theater, I wouldn't go.
Two things can be true at the same time. There is a lot of cheating in america, but nowhere near as much as in low-trust countries.

fwiw - I think Americans value integrity a lot more than most other places, and academic cheating is not nearly as common.
Same here, it used to be quite cool, but with the multiple reboots on Android frameworks, lack of updstes enforcement for OEMs, how the Kotlin advocates talk about Java, and the sorry state of NDK tooling, I lost interest.

Only the Web talks are relevant, as the Web is now basically ChromeOS.

I've long been of the opinion that the GDPR was a misstep when the plaintext read of it put default apache logging into the legally-ambiguous space.

When you make basic bedrock ages-old web behavior illegal, the web's gonna win, not the law. In most places, anyway. Good luck fairly and successfully policing every single neophyte admin not knowing that the first software every tutorial suggests you use is now illegally-configured in Europe out of the box.

(The result is, of course, that the law ends up unfairly enforced, which could be considered worse depending on one's legal philosophy.)

I haven't implemented AP from scratch so I may be missing technical details precluding this, but it sounds like it may at least partially be covered by https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#shared-inbox-delivery

... in which case it may be an implementation issue?

Mind you, there is liberal use of "MAY" there which I find is always a problem with specs: that would likely lead to mandatory chattiness of outgoing requests if you're federated with a lot of instances without shared inbox support, but should at least solve for incoming.
Yeah it sounds like the writer of the article is spreading hogwash.
I seem to remember that happened with JSON, but I assume it is now low level code.

Since service workers are now commonplace, it would be more helpful to somehow share the caching of commonly used libraries, so once downloaded in one place the browser would let it serve for another. Not sure how it could work, but would need to ensure the libs were identical. Maybe by use of a hash? Mmm ..
Years ago, back when Androids had even worse animations, I would just speed them up to the maximum (via developer settings), or disable entirely. I got used to it and still do it today. Action feedback is faster, and I don't need my device to be visually awesome anyway.
Your health insurance doesn't want to pay for it because they deem what the clinic charged as "too expensive" or another reason there isn't a pre negotiated contract in place between provider and insurer. The clinic can extract what it can from your because your insurance didn't cover it, sending you to collections if you don't pay [1] [2].

Many folks harp about how government insurance doesn't pay enough, and there is some validity to that argument, but without cost controls or other guardrails, the patient is always caught between the payer (private insurance) and the provider. Both are attempting to maximize their profits, the former through "cost plus" accounting, the latter at point of sale/purchase/care.

This might or not be helpful, depending on circumstances: https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers/new-protections-fo...

Tangentially, this is why global/nomad/world traveller health insurance typically excludes the US specifically from coverage and visitors to the US in many cases will fly home for urgent medical emergencies vs receiving care in country; the economics are simply unpalatable.

Insurance companies must pay out at least 80% of premiums to claims. Any excess gets refunded to policy holders.

This means that it is, counterintuitivly, in there interest to spend more on claims, as it makes the 20% profit they are allowed to take bigger. At least until they start to lose clients.

I really liked this article overall, but was very confused by this section -

> If you are an individual developer, the leverage it provides might be 10 times greater, but when you work for a company, that number might be only 2.

Where do these numbers come from? Did ChatGPT hallucinate them? I don't understand why both can't be true. Why can't I have 10x leverage in my job and use that productive to unlock more time and then further leverage myself as a personal developer? Very strange sentiment here and also a baseless claim IMO.
This just reminded me of a comment from my father from like 40 years ago. He was a civil engineer who designed waste water treatment plants when the US was funding it in the '70's (clean water act). Apparently there was some huge water treatment plant project in India at that time, and everyone he interviewed from that area said they had been in charge of the project.

People who use ChatGPT to spit out code as a method of learning software engineering are going to be seriously deficient in fundamentals like performance.

I've already worked with way too many engineers who copy/paste code without understanding what it does.

A bit less, but you'd be surprised how much is similar. The films are delivered on physical drives, loaded and unloaded, sent back. There's keying in timings with lights & curtains & music etc., there's checking it actually worked (because yes you're right, there isn't a projectionist sitting there the entire time).

If all goes to plan it definitely is less, I suppose it's roughly the same work for 1 showing, but almost nothing for the rest. But not nothing, and obviously it does go wrong sometimes.
And the NRC regulates civilian nuclear reactors. Recently, the NRC commissioners unanimously decided to regulate fusion reactors like particle accelerators rather than like fission reactors, which is very favorable to rapidly building out fusion reactors once they become available.

Even if they were somehow measuring all code created in the world, considering it's even easier than copy & pasting general code to ask AI for shitloads of code without even bothering to review it, so code created would be quite a poor metric compared to code put into production at least once.
Yes yes yes. This also is why devs in places like India working at body shops like TCS aren't great - MS etc have sucked up all the best talent.

Worked with the Office team in ... Bengaluru? Fantastic engineers.
That is simply not true. What you are ascribing to personal gain is just protecting against personal loss.

Well yeah, but we're unlikely to ever live in a world where there aren't paid jobs. Personally, I enjoy working with people. I may not make as much money as going solo but holistically my work life is improved by having colleagues. I think the same is true for most people. No person is an island.
Yes, I edited my comment too be more clear and. I shouldn't have referred to it as fetch because it's actually push.
Agreed, and it's also hard to consider the US as on some kind of general decline from high trust to low trust. American honesty has always been highly contextual. All it takes is a look into how we treated written agreements with Native Americans to see how small the radius of this value extends. Native societies were "high trust" in the sense that they had no ability, at least initially, to comprehend that settlers would sign an agreement with the full knowledge that they would renege on it as soon as the conditions had favorably changed. This is much more in keeping with a game theory style decision making process than anything related to an adherence to a higher moral virture or whatever. Native peoples experienced this process one by one, and eventually none trusted the word of colonialists ever again.
Many also allow for casual or part-time gigs with less protections, which ends up with tons of almost-full-time workers putting in the time to prove they're worthy of being bumped to full-time.

Not much different to the contracting world in IT, really.

> The reason we prohibit teenagers from having porn is likely from religious dogma passed down the generations without people questioning it.

That's an ignorant view ignores things like feminist critiques of porn.

> Yes, trusting children to make decisions helps them grow, by allowing them to make mistakes and learn from them naturally.

You're missing an important aspect of that, which is to give them decision-making power when they're ready for it.
There is a large corpus of reasearch suggesting that repeated exposure to porn, especially at a young age, can be very detrimental to psychological health and social skills.

Really this line of reasoning "dont make human sexuality taboo" is wishful thinking that willfully ignores the obvious fact that porn is unhealthy, addictive, and exploitative.
same and i also think AT Modem is a crock of shit
I was "doing the analysis" w/ Toy Story not long ago. They basically invented Woody/Buzz out of whole cloth, "guilty of being an incredibly lovable toy by association" (with other incredibly lovable toys). As I'm watching Toy Story with my kid, and seeing classic toys (eg: Mousetrap in the background), all the "friends" are legit copyright classics from other companies, but Buzz and Woody are "Disney/Pixar Exclusives" and nobody else can include them. A clever mechanism that seems to have paid off over two modern generations to guarantee they can "craft" a new copyrighted character at any moment (Buzz 2.0, Space Cowboy 9000, whatever...).
This is it. This comprehension of the chats is symptom of something like linguistic pareidolia. It's an enforced face that is composed of some probabilistic incidents and wistfulness.
Cheaters getting ahead of honest people is of course a problem and I don't understand how you could possibly say it isn't. Those cheaters are taking away jobs and promotions from people who deserve it more.
Could investing in more automation keep this legacy going? Also, huge thanks to Smithsonian Mag for writing a quality piece on something this important and beautiful. Very amazing legacy and photos and writing to capture. It causes me to consider a subscription or at least an account. More content like this in general would not be reproducible by AI for a long time yet - not until AI can walk and are indistinguishable from humans. The media organizations that scale into the future and take the existing market share are going to be the ones that invest in deep relationships with communities and bringing quality stories like this to light.
movie exhibition is a lousy business. We showed them for free at Google:

https://albertcory50.substack.com/p/culture-at-google-part-o...

Granted it was after work and people had shuttles to catch, but attendance probably averaged 20. And we didn't show Hollywood shit movies, which would draw more, maybe.

One thing that could save theaters is social interaction: people stayed after the movie and talked about it. For Animal Kingdom I think the discussion went on for a half hour. But these were all people with some connection to each other, not random strangers. And you could bring your dinner in there and eat while you watched.

I also, for a while, belonged to a movie club that showed brand new movies in the theater on Sunday morning and usually had the director or other people from the movie for Q&A after. Those drew hundreds of people.

But traditional movie theaters? A relic.
If the future proponents envision actually comes to pass, there won't be much need for new coders anyway.
Much like the USA, violence is restricted geographically. I would not hang out in rural areas near the border. I would absolutely hang out in CDMX or Yucatan.

There's a lot of focus on AI taking away jobs. I believe it will constitute an existential threat to a lot of companies. Highly productive solo individuals and very small teams will outcompete large companies by leveraging AI. When capital requirements, transaction and information costs drop dramatically, the optimal size of a firm will change. I believe they will become dramatically smaller.

In my country, India, cheating in university is rampant. But there were more than a few of my classmates, who didn't. On average, it sad to see all that cheating. Aren't you saying you are incompetent by cheating?
I was for gaming, but dropped off pretty hard after a couple of months and went back to other consoles.

It's just my personal tastes, but there are tons of games I want to play that don't make me sick or require that I put something on my face (or a mechanical backpack now lol).

That is just Windows Explorer being shite. They even have a specific “restart” button for it in Task Manager for when it leaks into itself so much it stops functioning usefully.
Cheating is one of valuable soft skills that square nerds are often unable to master. Marketing, sales, people management, internal politics, raising capital all require some degree of cheating.
Refinement types are pretty interesting and I've seen mention of them recently. I'm curious if there are any practical reasons we don't see them implemented in more languages.
DDD-3.4.0 Debbugger graphical front end for GDB released
ctrl+u could just make the displayed representation as easy to read. There are many binary protocols/formats that are a breeze to work with if you have the right tooling. You never see the 0xa 0x8 0xf. Your tools will either show you what the bytes represent or that there was a parsing error. Those parsing errors would be rare in the average case, just like debugging strange unicode issues in HTML today.
They'd likely have some IP that could be of value to creditors.
I guess it depends on how they calculate the percent. I assume it's by character count.

So it wouldn't surprise me. For repetitive code it's pretty good. And even with non repetitive code, once you start typing a bit it is good at finishing it.

Especially in a verbose language like Java. How much of copilot use is something that autocomplete would have handled anyways?
In theory it would help. In practice since a server can't rely on this it probably devolves to just ignoring that feature.
Arguably the big one is the NAFTA TN Visa, which makes it easy to get Mexican help into the US. No H1B needed.

As an interviewer, I don't care if the candidates cheat.

I can assess his abilities either way.
Or they were good predictors of success, just not in the way you expected. The individuals got the job done one way or another, just like they nailed the entry level job position.

How would you base a job interview on actual work? You have very limited time and you're trying to take a representative sample of a candidate's capabilities.

IMO interviewing is just plain hard and unpleasant. Obviously if you perfectly solve interviewing for software engineers you could rule the world, because you could afford to offer all of your hires $1M/yr which is far less than the best engineers are worth, but more than what everyone else offers.
Well, obviously - you need to make money. So if you're not getting paid at your current job, many people can't afford to stay at their current job. If I had UBI or some kind of trust fund, I might stay at my current job. I really do enjoy it and think I'm better off with the structure it provides me.
My goal is to transition to Costa Rica the closer I get to retirement. I would still love to work there as well, but I'm dreaming of a part-time consultancy I can run from my beach house off of one the coasts.

The contractor vs fill-time employee line is pretty hazy in most countries. Mexico has actually closed that loophole.

IIRC after six months of contracting an employee is considered full time regardless of the mechanism of hiring.
In a sense, I'm in that category because I paid for zero textbooks. Instead I photocopied them at the library.

I imagine if I had to I would have probably paid for them. By the laws of the land I'm a cheater. And so be it.

I'm always amazed at the extent people go to to cheat. It gets to the point that you're putting in more effort than you would have to be successful without cheating.

I sometimes feel some people simply enjoy cheating too much. Its not about accomplishing a goal by any means necessary, its something about doing something wrong that certain people seem to enjoy.
Why can't we just make a new pronoun that is "they" but singular?

Like "Theya".

Theya is my friend. It's singular, non gendered, and then we can just get rid of every pronoun except "they" and "theya".
Yeah, there have been active attempts to move SuiteSparse out of the base sysimage for this reason. It was planned for this 1.9 release, but looks like there are some performance regressions from the current attempts, so it's not yet there.

Julia code is mostly distributed as source code, and compiling into standalone executables and then distributing them to outsiders is not very common, so it doesn't often come up as an issue. But it's an important detail to keep in mind in case the use case does arise.
Corporations serve a purpose - to organize human labor to fulfill a greater task that usually cannot be completed by an individual. So while I don't disagree that GPT-4 in the hands of a layperson programmer may suddenly turn them into a 10x developer, I don't know if that fact alone allows that individual to create great things.

In addition, there will be a great crowding out effect. If websites and apps are so easy to create now, there will be a deluge of junk to come. Every mediocre idea will be put forth.
