This. AWS Budgets to get notifications when they reach certain spend thresholds will be a must. Also you should probably setup an AWS organization and have them operate in a sub-account if you go this route.
Of things that built the society I enjoy today, I am fully aware that, for instance, enslaved labor and stolen land built the society I enjoy today -- I am not in favor of the government forcing me to advertise that fact positively on my car.

Certainly human history is full of war and violence, and that is what has led to where we are, sure. That doesn't mean we need to glorify it. Or that the state has to impose the glorification of it on car identification plates.

I'm Paddy Mullen[1]. I'm an experienced full stack engineer with a focus on data based applications and products built on the PyData stack. I deliver the most value to a company when I'm expected/allowed to do cross functional work. I'm a great developer because I care about solving actual customer problems. I have found that the best way to do this is to make sure you're solving the right problems (product management) then making sure people with those problems know about your solution (marketing).

I am looking for roles in developer relations at product focused companies. I would also like to work in finance again.

Recently I have created Buckaroo - the GUI tool for quickly exploring and cleaning pandas dataframes. [2] [3]

> salivating at the sound of "inflation" and hastily raising interest rates

Please name the times in the last 30 years where the Fed has hastily raised interest rates.

Lemme help you out: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFUNDS

The majority of the Fed's actions has been to drop interest rates.

> rather than reflexively resorting to the same old monetary tricks.

The Fed can _only_ do monetary tricks. That's all they're authorized to do.
I agree with the overall assessment, but there's a catch: even "highly skilled" workers are not skilled in "all the things". I've felt that ChatGPT hasn't increased my productivity in my core languages and frameworks, but it has helped immensely in areas where I'm not an expert.

To be concrete about it, I recently ported a project from SwiftUI on iOS (an ecosystem I am very comfortable with) to an Android app written in Kotlin (an ecosystem I mostly dread). I don't find ChatGPT very helpful with my day-to-day Swift stuff, but it was incredibly helpful with the Android work, from language syntax to idioms to outright translation of code.
I doubt (choose a figure at this point: Snowden, Assange, Palestinians, OnlyFans) needs to get worried about getting blacklisted financially because (choose a reason how they wouldn’t get financially blacklisted based on precedent, and then were blacklisted). Specific payment rails behavior has never mattered with this, it’s always about the ability existing as people jump across payment options.
I was a huge Overwatch fan. Seeing them stop development on it and announcing Overwatch 2 as a whole new game was what made me leave the game. The promise of Overwatch 2 was a story mode, a skills system, more maps and more heroes. Now after years of development and selling the game with future promises to millions of fans, all they have is cancelling PvE and skills system, and one or two heroes and maps.

This is not a game dev problem. This is a company that has excellent game dev talent but is run by Harvard MBA types who aren’t gamers problem.
∇ is near-worst-case since it's not even Greek. I think domain-specific keyboard layouts are as much of a good idea as language-specific layouts, but they're a nuisance to install on *nix (trivial on OS X). Using .XCompose is the most practical *nix approach, in the absence of program-specific methods like Julia's tab-completable backslash names.
Yep, high chance. People post almost everything and this is too interesting to have been missed posting on social media.
Out of curiosity, what's the context of those team bonding exercises?

I'm curious if the failure is due to short duration and knowing you can revert back to your normal mode in a few days. Humans are creatures of habit, after all, and I don't think what I see in most corporate team-bonding exercises is enough to overcome that in most people.

I have a love-hate relationship with my Chromecast. And my Roku, and my Apple TV.

The Chromecast works great for streaming from my Plex server. Except switching away from the Plex app or letting the device sleep often causes it to disconnect, meaning the Chromecast will keep playing but can’t be controlled. So I have to keep a dedicated remote control device around. I also have to disable CEC on my TV or the Chromecast will randomly turn the TV on in the middle of the night.

The Roku works great for streaming from my Plex server. Except when it doesn’t; sometimes it will stream too slowly and constantly buffer, for no discernible reason. It also puts out an annoying high-pitched whine through the speakers when no sound is playing.

The Apple TV works great for everything except streaming from my Plex server. It’s a 3rd gen, meaning no App store and no Plex app, and I haven’t yet broken down and shelled out $130 for a new one.

Is there any set-top box/dongle that doesn’t kind of suck?
> Sometimes, it's more prudent to pass the baton to the government and let them address the root causes, rather than reflexively resorting to the same old monetary tricks.

That’s not the Fed’s choice. The Fed has a mandate to target specific outcomes with a narrow set of monetary policy tools, acting within the existing fiscal framework.

Congress can make whatever fiscal interventions it chooses, whenever it chooses; the Fed doesn’t pass the baton to Congress when it feels monetary policy is inadequate, Congress passes it to the Fed by inadequate fiscal policy to acheive the goals Congress mandates the Fed to intervene to correct towards.

If you think a situation calls for a fiscal response that osn’t happening, you shouldn’y blame the Fed for not passing the baton, you should blame Congress for not acting. Congress isn't subordinate to the Fed.
The thing that matters is a huge portion of the existing mobile apps will work.

That seems like a massive oversight by Meta to not work on supporting Android apps. Since it's actually similar to Android under the hood I believe.

14% better using a model from late 2020. I’d expect this to increase materially with most recent models and better tooling to pull in relevant data, particularly for text agent chats

Not good for senior agent wages short term, only good for senior agents long term when only hiring people for escalations. Likely a large reduction of the workforce in these roles overall.

Blizzard as a company sucks though. As in, even if you’re a brutal capitalist and don’t care at all about people stealing and drinking their coworkers breast milk, they just keep failing spectacularly at actually shipping games and getting people to play them. If you’re Microsoft, I’m not sure why you’d keep most of their exec team _even if you don’t care about the culture_

I find the lane keeping and departure warnings lessen the cognitive load on driving. I find I'm able to expand my focus when driving a bit more and improve my overall situational awareness. Overall, I'd say it's a great thing. That and 360 degree birds-eye view cameras when parking are safety features that all cars should have.
I think it's worth pointing out that a lot (most?) of Fern's complaints against OpenAPI are really complaints against JSON Schema. There have been talks before about allowing other schema systems in OpenAPI - I wouldn't be incredibly surprised to see such things come up for Moonwalk. JSON Schema is not not a type definition system https://modern-json-schema.com/json-schema-is-a-constraint-s....

It's also worth noting that most JSON Schema replacements I've seen that prioritize code generation are far less powerful in terms of runtime validation (I have not examined Fern's proposal in detail, so I do not know if this is true for them).

The ideal system, to me (speaking as the most prolific contributor to JSON Schema drafts-07 through 2020-12), would have clearly defined code generation and runtime validation features that did not get in each other's way. Keywords like "anyOf" and "not" are very useful for runtime validation but should be excluded from type definition / code generation semantics.

This would also help balance the needs of strongly typed languages vs dynamically typed languages. Most JSON Schema replacements-for-code-generation I've seen discard tons of functionality that is immensely useful for other JSON Schema use cases (again, I have not deeply examined Fern).

Has anyone here built a business around the Quest 2? A game or app, or custom development? I actually love the device, but I’m not sure how easy the ecosystem is for developers, nor how much traction the device has (or could have) as a non-game app platform.
The spring bars are a pain. Many of my extended family don't have the finger dexterity to operate them at all, and either take them to the jewelry counter to replace or bring them to me. The rest can change them, but hate the damn things and take several tries sometimes with the bar flying across the room and complain about it every time.

This isn't change for the sake of change, it is a genuine improvement.
>I think Mark knew he had to get away from Apple as they are a horrific partner

Facebook is the company that almost single-handedly gutted the media industry over the past ten years with such smash hits as "just post all of your news stories directly on Facebook" and "pivot to video based on these absolutely fabricated numbers!" so I suppose he does indeed have some insight on what makes a horrific partner.

Not entirely accurate. Facebook has locked me out of my pseudonym account and is requiring I upload a government ID to gain entry again.

Thankfully it was not used for anything other than chatting with people in certain communities and I have other Facebook accounts that are also pseudonyms, but Facebook can and will sometimes require verification of an account.

Hey everyone! I couldn't be more thrilled to share with you the launch of StoryBooks, a passion project close to my heart.

As a soon-to-be dad, I'm looking forward to the magical moments of storytelling with my children before bed. It's a time when imaginations soar, bonds strengthen, and values are passed down through generations. But I wanted to take it a step further.

That's why I created StoryBooks, an app that empowers parents to generate personalized, enchanting bedtime stories for their little ones. Picture this: custom-crafted tales filled with their names, interests, and dreams, immersing them in captivating adventures tailored just for them.

But StoryBooks is more than just a story generator. It's a gateway to nurturing imagination, fostering a love for reading, and instilling valuable life lessons in the most magical way possible. We've combined the power of technology and storytelling to create an experience that will make every bedtime unforgettable.

Now, I need your help! I invite you all to join the conversation, share your thoughts, and let me know what you think of StoryBooks. I'm eager to hear your experiences, ideas, and suggestions as we continue to enhance this app and make it a treasured part of countless families' bedtime routines. Let's ignite imaginations, create lasting memories, and inspire the storytellers of tomorrow together.

So, jump on board and be a part of this incredible journey! Share your excitement, ask questions, and let's dive into the magic of StoryBooks. Together, we'll make bedtime stories even more extraordinary for our little ones.

Looking forward to connecting with each one of you!

Warm regards,
Alex

Yep. When we evaluate new open source packages we look at a lot of factors, but they include stars, age, commit frequency, issues, etc.

* stars - the likelihood that an issue affecting us will affect someone else. More people affected, the more likely it gets fixed.

* age and commit frequency - old projects with continuous commit history are preferable. It's okay for recent commits to become trivial/minor. Likely a sign of mature software in a maintenance mode. It's _very_ concerning when there are no commits.

* issues. This is typically a lot harder to simulate simply by buying likes. There are four factors here:

* Do the number of issues line up with the seeming popularity of the project?

* Do the types of issues line up with the types of problems you'd expect from the project?

* Are there any issues, particularly open issues, that block certain functionality or use cases?

* Do the maintainers actually interact/discuss issue?
Typically you feed the schema in as context and literally just ask the model to turn it into SQL. So a prompt of the format "Given this schema {schema}, turn this query into SQL. {query}. Return the SQL and nothing else."
Is there a bit more you can expand on this? A contact form only serves one-way communication and if its sending an email anyway what is the workflow improvement or additional confidentiality/integrity with regards to the message?

The workflow i'm thinking of would be encrypting text with the public key of the website/company you are reaching out to, including your public key in the message or if you have a website as a researcher you can provide the instructions of using your public key for them to send you a response. You then send them an email and attached your encrypted correspondence.

When they respond back they use whatever public key you provided in your initial message and you can decrypt their response. This doesn't require your email client to support PGP or have a keyring setup just simple openssl command(s) that work right from the terminal.
My theory is just that Web Development is immensely popular, probably 90% of jobs in my country (as an example) are either frontend or API backend; 50% of those jobs might be frontend. It's much much more likely a company needs to ship a website than a device driver, a game or a desktop app. Nowadays even many of those are built using web technologies to have a bigger hiring pool and ship faster.

More companies doing web development => more developers doing and learning web development => more tools, libraries and frameworks for web development => more code being written for web development in different styles or with different architecture => bigger chances for spaghetti code and unnecessary complexity, also bigger chance for just bad code in general (because more code) => these ideas and tools just permeate back into the ecosystem.

Whereas in other areas I have a feeling that since there is not enough people working on a certain area, they might all use the same few tools and these would grow more mature.
this is valuing a humans time of filtering through good and not good changes at 0. Imagine if you had to receive all email and judge each individual one for spam / not spam.
I am very much pro-gay in general, but I do wish the community would stop retconning every example they can find into 'actually gay'. I don't mind their headcanons or fan fictions, but there is a layer of meaning you can get from Holmes/Watson if you read it as an intense but non-sexual relationship, of the kind that A. Conan Doyle and his readers would have recognised.

Same for Frodo/Sam, also Tolkien was very religious, so I doubt he intended any sexual subtext.
My intuition based on previous Facebook-based business is that depending on anything by Meta makes for a very risky proposition - it might be doing great at any one moment and be completely shut down or just made non-viable the next.
Appeals to the founders are not compelling to me, they intended to have tons and tons of private activity regulated in the purview of private enterprise.

I agree that perspective might have been misplaced, but the founders were not in favor of powerful oligopolies under the control of the government.

Valorization aside, let's remember that the US has only been close to a majoritarian democracy for the last ~70 years or so. We can't necessarily look at the intentions from 200 years ago to decide on how political structures should be made, but we can observe their successes and failures.
Then your Catholic school did you wrong.

I previously worked on ecommerce and SaaS UX and have first-hand experience with longer customer support rotations in those fields. While I'm sure there's a lot of low-hanging UX fruit, this seems to be an overestimation of how sophosticated most of the customer base is and how much they are able to just read things and figure stuff out without hand-holding. Add to this how past a certain scale even freak issues affecting <0.01% of users/sessions suddenly become quite frequent in absolute terms, and I don't think customer support, automated or not, is going anywhere.
