>I couldn't fit the data set in memory with PHP. But I could do it with Go.

I guess this on is self-explanatory.

>I couldn't do parallel computations in PHP in order to respond to an HTTP request quickly enough. But I could do it with Go.

Consider the following (covers both statements above): you need to get some data from a few sources (databases etc) do some computation on each set and then do some sort of mapping to get the resulting set. You may want those computations to run in parallel and idealy you'd like to start mapping as soon as each computation function starts producing results.

>I couldn't reliably and easily deploy to different systems with PHP. But I could do it with Go.

I haven't been using PHP since 5 but I assume it's still much easier to just push you Go binary to a destination.

Though with Docker and company deploying PHP code is not a big issue these days I assume.
It's sometimes a way to say "can somebody explain the pros and cons" -I don't get an air fryer (for instance) said so, and an aficionado explained the Ps and Cs to me.

Requesting to chat with a fintech founder or someone working in fintech
Hello, my name is Adoum, software engineer, I am building a mobile payment app for African market, you're wondering there are many players out there, what was missing and how we are building a mobile payment app. Well, we are not reinventing the wheel, but we are solving some problems and aim to become the primarily relationship for our customer.

if you're fintech founder who targeting different market, or working in fintech, please I need to chat with you. Thanks a lot in advance.
Don't expect any of those multitude of Teams bugs to get fixed in any kind of hurry - not that we were, but now even less so.

I don't think most normal people will spam their own SNS/blogs using LLMs. If you hate writing, you won't be writing at all, instead of using LLMs to generate stuffs. If you have a message to send, you'll be taking much of your time creating a piece even with LLMs. Obviously, there can be many exceptions here (e.g. trolls, flamers), but the key point is that using LLMs only can reduce the cost of act of writing, but it hardly lowers the barrier of writing itself, especially when there are implications to consider.

So, I think OP(Paul Graham) is basically overestimating people's will to write, probably because he's a such good writer himself.
> You implied it

> you didn't literally say it, but you implied it.

Did I? It doesn't seem like I did, perhaps you wrongly inferred it.

> You are using emotionally laden wording here, rather than just having a healthy dialogue where you disagree

Am I? It seems like I'm just stating the facts, your emotionality in response to them is on you (and totally normal, given these facts)
Maybe it's different in other places, but have you seen the paychecks of some construction workers? Sure they are working in potentially hazardous conditions, but the pay can be about the same for similarly tenured workers.

It's important to remember that if you're working for a living, you're still working class.
I wonder if there will be a mass resignation at Microsoft as a new job might pay more.
To me, it sounds like they considered this, and thought majority would not resign and go work for someone else that pays more. Some of those will not be replaced and some might need more pay. Over all this might be cheaper for MS.
It is important to note the role that meat takes in subsistence agriculture: Chicken, for instance not only produce eggs and manure, they also serve as breathing refrigerators: Whenever there is the need, especially in the winter, one can easily kill one or more and eat them. I think cattle plays a similar role at a larger scale.

Obviously, we have moved very far from these basics and industrialized the whole chain, but it should be worth considering that mass adoption of vegan food requires the very same industrialization whereas true organic food will profit from a certain amount of livestock.
I'm fine that but let's cut the bullshit. Quit trying to create a "culture", we are not family, we are not friends, we owe each other nothing aside from a paycheck and 40h of work a week, we don't need to help each other, we don't need to innovate, we don't need to show up early or leave late, we are strictly transactional. Don't be surprised when I leave for $1 an hour raise, don't be surprised when I don't go the extra mile. I am nothing to you but a resource to be expended just like coal or plastic and you are nothing to me but a paycheck. At least that would be honest.

I suspect that you're not deploying with a CDK-defined Code Pipeline (starter article[0], in-depth example[1]), which makes cross account/region deployments so ludicrously smooth and simple that it often has newbies refuse to believe that it can have worked _that_ easily.

It is true that _some_ resources don't have L2 constructs, but there's pretty damn good coverage of the most popular services - and, even when you have to drop back to L1, that's still better than hand-written CFN templates or abandoning IaC entirely!

Are you sure this is typical and you're not just getting the shaft? It sounds way off to me. I've been out of MSFT for a while, but refreshes and cliff-fills are pretty standard for their competitors and I'd be very surprised if they weren't doing it for their above-average performers too.
Odd - it's showing up now. I'll remember for next time. Thanks!
I have rewritten more-or-less the same tool, 100KLOC, in Rust and PHP. I can't tell you about Python or Node.js

Use PHP if

- you're in a hurry and you already either know PHP, or the script is going to call other PHP code you've written

- execution speed is not important (ditto for Python and Node)

If neither of the above is true, give Rust a whirl.
Reductively can you honestly say there is anything we enjoy or dislike that isn't true for?
The risk isn’t so much losing the ability to think (I think that is exaggeration), but rather that interacting with it is changing how we think, or, indeed, what we think.
In Germany the limit is 1000€ on a single investment for investors who do not disclose their financial status. 10000€ for those who can prove they have more than 100000€ in cash and beyond that you are at most allowed to invest twice your monthly income up to 25000€.

This is for crowdinvesting only but this convertible note campaign is very similar to crowdinvesting campaigns in Germany. Although it is possible for companies to let investors invest directly, usually there is a licensed financial advisor running the crowdinvesting platform that handles payments by delegating them to a licensed payment service provider. The financial advisor is also supposed to screen investments and make sure the investor understands what form of investment he is making and how much risk he is taking on.

If you want to get past these limits you wouldn't go through a crowdinvesting campaign.

>Employees also seem to think they're entitled to receive payrises every year based on their performance, indexed/adjusted to account for CPI increases too

In some EU countries, companies are mandated to provide CPI increases. This has the effect of a natural greed-flation brake.

IMHO, should be the norm worldwide.
Thank you for the suggestion, will take a look!
Most people who consider themselves to be great are painfully average.
That's the thing. My current phone (Pixel 4) was something like $700 when I first bought it, and the idea of breaking it was pretty scary for me, for something I carry around with me everywhere, every day. It's been a while since I've broken a phone, but it's happened, and my wallet was not pleased about the experience.

I don't have a tablet and wouldn't want one as a dedicated device, but I could absolutely see myself using the tablet features of the Pixel Fold, given that I wouldn't be carrying around an extra device, and it's pocket-sized when folded up. (I usually read a book on my phone when on transit, for example, and would love to be able to do that on a larger screen.) But carrying around a $1800 device that's as easily breakable as a phone? I think I'd be too anxious for that.
> I'm also doubtful the $2.6m is real.

Is there any chance the $2.1 million they raised back all the way back in 2017 is being factored into the number to make it look better? (I literally have nothing to back this theory, I'm just asking.)
Why would you go with PHP+whateverframework instead of Ruby on Rails or Django?

You're focused on some extremely narrow view that's right on the legal/illegal boundary and thinking that's the whole world.

The easiest way to not go to jail for assault with a deadly weapon is to not assault people. It is very easy to follow this guideline, and the success rate is quite high (most people in the world are not currently in jail).

If you absolutely must assault someone, and you decide to use a weapon, then yes, you will likely want to hire a lawyer to write a bunch of carefully-argued pages about why you shouldn't go to jail.

But it's not like you would just be walking down the street, knocking people out with a tire-iron as one does, and then get ambushed by the complexities of the law.
If my wife and I go by ourselves we will never get any food or drink. Maybe a couple beers if they have a bar, most of the ones nowadays.

If we're taking the kids though I consider it the cost of seeing the latest Marvel movie etc on day 1. If I keep a kids pack of popcorn and Icees on their lap, I know they will sit there and keep quiet instead of dancing in the aisle. Of course I bring candy in my wife's purse as well, I'm not the kind of monster who pays $7 for Red Vines.
> Wages are not downstream of profits - they are a price in a market for labor.

That is correct, and a point many in this discussion miss.

> It's better this way - otherwise employees at companies that make no money would have to take no salary.

Not so fast. For one, companies that "make no money" eventually go bankrupt and pay nothing to nobody.

It's not "better" or "worse", paying what the market requires is simply the way things are in a free market.

AIUI TFA wasn't by the creators of HTMX, so it isn't the author's approach.
This isn't really correct. How they decide what an IQ of 160 is, is by get thousands of people together, asking them questions and seeing what percentage of the population get which questions right or wrong.

Questions that are tagged 160 are irrelevant because they norming group is WAYYY to small to say 1 in 30,000 people will get this correct. It's simply not possible to come up with such a question. They questions that get you 160 on IQ score are almost certainly questions that no one in the norming group got correct.

So no, there's zero proof that 1 in 30,000 people have an IQ of 160. There simply haven't been that many IQ test administered to the general population to determine that.

Yeah I'm not saying this is not a net positive. I just don't understand why the recommendation reads like all is good as long as one amends the commit and nothing just happened.
Definitely not this.

Capital is distributed to shareholders when the company has few good options to deploy it internally.

These distributions are then reinvested by shareholders to more efficient purposes.

If a company can’t efficiently deploy its capital and can’t distribute it… it just buys other companies and becomes a conglomerate with ever increasing market power.

You also get YouTube Music, which is not as great as Spotify, but nonetheless worth something.

In fact, that’s the primary reason everyone I know who has YouTube Premium subscribes: music steaming + ad-free YouTube.

That needs to be factored into your calculation, no?
That’s allowed in America.
> I'd guess that google is currently the single largest funder of "content" in the world, between adsense on websites and payouts to YouTubers.

Those are advertisers funding the content, not google. google is just a middleman. They generate no content and pay none of they money, they just facilitate the transaction and take a cut.

For me, text is fine. I'm a minority but I just avoid videos altogether.

Paying youtube for an infinite catalogue of shit? No thanks. And the rare gems that do interest me are invariably... overly expanded and filled with sponsor bullshit, so, ads.

Paying for YT premium to give Google their pound of flesh, only to be stuck in same horrorshow of well-meaning content creators having to whore themselves out to their sponsors... To me that means that the only winning move is not to play.
I feel like tech is the implied context here. In tech, the number is a lot closer to 100% than 0%.
>> If all the CEOs in the world were forced to make $0, it will not meaningfully change the amount of money in workers' pockets.

But its not far from wrong -- cutting a ten million dollar a year expense and putting it to worker pay will not make workers rich in the colloquial sense.
> Scientists often don’t talk about the first two options; this article omits them, because it’s hard to think about (and violates an assumption scientists make — that you can study bits of reality in isolation).

As far as I know, the first option (hidden variable theory) has been soundly disproven by experiment.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm using the same ChatGPT as everyone else. I pay for GPT4 access in ChatGPT, and it is a really terrible writer. I also pay for Copilot, and I think a can count the number of times it has been helpful with one hand. I'm trying to get on this hype train, but I'm left with an empty feeling every time I try to seriously spend some time with these new tools.
No, I did that also. You get a quote from the distributor, and usually have good connections to them.
Some companies suck (most big ones) but they dont have the good ones either. Best prices are for Asian movies or US indies.

European, Latin american and Indian movies do have prohibitive prices, so you cannot show them, their fault.

The question is more about who gets to capture the created wealth:

- people who gave money to enable the activity leading to profit (aka capital)

- people who organize the activity leading to profit (aka management)

- people who actually do the work

Obviously, each of these groups has some legitimate claim to the added value, but it's also pretty obvious that over the last 50 years or so, the balance in the economy as a whole has tilted towards capital and upper management in a way that can't really be justified on an ethical basis. (Just look at how the correlation between wages and productivity disappeared in the 1970s.)
I think that the main benefit here is that the credentials aren't published for all and sundry to see.

The scanner has seen the credentials, yes, and it's then up to the individual to decide if that credential should be considered "compromised" or not (seeing as the Github scanner has seen that credential)

It's a step up from - oh sh*t everyone can see it and the user isn't even aware that they did the dumb
Anything that didn't provide an evolutionary or reproductive advantage, or liking it / disliking it is simply a side-effect; e.g. adrenaline pumps / extreme sports, puzzles, modern creative work.

That’s quite an interesting idea.
What you are saying, is just proving the point that we are NOT focusing on EQ. On the contrary, politicians and public figures are benefiting from emotional manipulation and understanding of human emotion of those who aren't as aware of that.

Focusing on EQ as a society, would mean that individuals would get better at understanding the said manipulations. In my opinion resulting in a society that is less driven by emotional impulses and more on the actual collective well-being and problem solving.

A ton of of issues on the social level could be solved, if people had a better understanding of which parts of their beliefs are based on emotions and if those emotions are worth listening to.

You're mostly right. Bringing up tire irons is unfair when I explicitly mentioned things like flip-flops.

I think a better example might be peaceful protest. Sure you can just not do that, but a reasonable person might want to protest. Here's another example: police officer tells you can march across bridge, then arrests you for obstructing traffic. You intuitively think this sounds like entrapment. It isn't.

In my 20 years (not MS) we've had 2-3 temporary pay cuts during downturns to avoid layoffs -a 5% pay cut sucks but the job you save may be your own. In 20 years I've seen somewhere around 200,000 of my co-workers RIF'ed, 10,000 on the day I was hired. The company has always made it's numbers, the CXOs have always been paid more than my life's total income and yet they always ask us to do more for less. I'd like to finish out my career here but it does appear that the grass is greener and despite what I think and how I feel the company won't care and will be fine without me. Everyone should remember that.
>The administration responded, brusquely, that viewpoint diversity is “not part of our diversity, belonging and inclusion plan.”

It’s so jarring to hear this, viewpoint diversity was the primary selling point for diversity in general in the corporate world until very recently. I can’t tell you how many times I heard the case that hiring non-white people made the company stronger because people with different backgrounds being different perspectives and that makes products better etc.

Now it seems that that pretense has been dropped and it’s just about skin color now.
Another round of layoffs without actually having to do it. Those who have the ability to find jobs, even in this environment, will leave. Since Microsoft has decided that that risk is totally acceptable to them, the attrition is actually the bonus for the firm.
To summarize, your solution is:

- count the homeless

- ask them real nicely to stay put

- ???

- homelessness is solved
> It can handle more than 500,000 orders per month when hosted on a $6/month server

Is this a statement from the real world? What business sells 500,000 orders in a month from a $6 server? I mean, if you sell that much, you would probably want a high-availability solution and they don't sell for 6 bucks.
IE? We're in 2023 dude, don't think that is even usable anymore.
I think it's a case that unfortunately many people don't understand how simple a solution can be. They've been fed the typical books and articles and firmly believe that if it's just PHP it just can't be good. Right? I mean going through all this pain and requiring that many developers, means that this solution has to be much better? Right?

On the one end of the scale you've got the PHP Laravel monolith, and on the other you've got the completely serverless bits of JS over lambdas, with 12 different technologies, buckets up the wazoo, to store 300mb worth of data.

Then you're told 'yeah, but this is distributed'! Okay cool, so you save 50ms of latency. Super... How long does your javascript takes to start returning content? Right, much longer. What the hell is even a cold start? How is that a thing in 2023?

PHP is unsexy. And people don't like unsexy. I, on the other hand, I like my vacations uninterrupted.
Google might gain my favour if they become human again. Google is literally the most robotic company out there. There is so much they could do to make YT a better experience. But it suffers from developeritis, where it’s just a fancy tech stack (bravo!) but it wasn’t build for actual humans.
Everyone knows that using ChatGPT is about signalling your non Luddite status so that the police won't go after you.
Maybe you're not using the right prompts. But yes, ChatGPT needs more creativity input.
