This wall of text is very bizarre. First, I don't know where you got "gleason bound" from, but if you search for it on google, your comment in this thread is the only thing that comes up.

Second, your "alternative speed" measures are a hallucination.

Sooo, broadly that's two quite different ways to look at how to write fast code.

No there isn't. The one that takes 1/10th the time of the other one is faster. You going off on tangents and making up terms to try to say that a heap sort is the fastest sort (of all the strange things to argue) is nonsense.
Somewhat fair criticism, but also somewhat unfair. A lot of us are trying to read up and understand, and so we post questions in forums like these with knowledgeable folks, in hopes to enhance our understanding and reduce our concern.

One counter point though is that... if there is a new lifesaving technology, and even the somewhat IT literate / somewhat geeky / folks who WANT to understand it, are struggling... it may not be as simple and easy and safe. If I ask "how do I backup my passwords", I'll have 10 million folks answer "use a password manager, backup the file". When I ask similar questions with passkeys, the breadth,inconsistency and complexity of answers is as insightful as it is worrisome.
Reading a lot of the comments, I think I must be an outlier.

I've got a nice study at home, with a really good PC setup, rock solid gigabit internet, very nice office chair, all the coffee in the world.

But I still really like going into the office as much as possible. I love the cycle in, the coffees with colleagues, being able to just "chat" without scheduling a call, getting lunch out with people.

> Engineers can much more easily maintain, learn and introspect infrastructure via Kubernetes, despite its own complexity.

Citation needed.

K8s has a whole bunch of footguns that people who don't want to manage infra can easily blunder into.

Terraform and ecs is not immature, and its fairly simple to maintain especially if they are just pushing updates without significant infra changes. (ie bumping the container version)

> Engineering time is expensive

which is why ECS is probably better, because its good enough for running a few containers that talk to a load balancer.

The CyberTruck's shape already precludes it from being used as a serious work vehicle. Clearly the truck can't be used to tow fifth wheels or goose neck trailers due to the triangular sloped sides. That's fine, I suppose. This is more of an SUV competitor than a truck competitor anyways.

It's not preferable. The problem in this line of argumentation is that it highlights the problems of an imperfect system (a big western democracy) and then extends that to qualify the whole.

The US has so many problems, I agree, but what big democracy doesn't? Does the UK have problems? Yes. Does France? Yes. Does India? Yes. Because the US is so powerful, and has used this power for questionable purposes (as well as good purposes), people create a caricature of the country and ignore that we have things like constitutional protections, freedom of speech, mechanisms to sue the government and prevail.

Just to detail one of my examples above, freedom of speech. Many people will go and give examples of why the US has no true freedom of speech. Most of these people have never lived in a place which actually has no freedom of speech! For instance, I've bought many highly critical books of the US government, talked about them in public, visited libraries to read these books. In a less free country, this can, and often does get you arrested or killed, assuming that you were able to find the books to begin with, more often you won't even have access to any real criticism of the government.

I don't want any country storing my personal data. But if I'd pick between the US or China, AT LEAST there is a minimum of transparency and rule of law (and it's actually a lot more than "minimum", the real protections are significant) regarding how this data is used in the US.
I tried to make the most of it and look past this stuff, but after I went home and reflected on it I realized no, this isnt normal, this wasn't good, and I looking over my shoulder the whole time to make sure nobody was following me isn't something I've done in any other city.
Hutupia – Social Network for Startups
Have you ever felt like you could make a real difference in the world? I certainly have. For a long time, I've been asking myself why life is so unfair. And finally, I decided to take action.

That's when I created Hutupia. I wanted to create a platform where people could collaborate with like-minded individuals from all over the world and turn their ideas into reality. I wanted to give everyone the opportunity to make a positive impact on the world, no matter who they are or where they come from.

At Hutupia, we believe that everyone has the power to make a difference. Our platform is designed to connect people and empower them to collaborate and innovate. We provide channels for resource sharing, updates, and team communication, as well as a virtual management feature for seamless collaboration.

But more than that, Hutupia is a platform for making a positive impact on the world. I believe in the power of collective action and that by working together, we can create a better tomorrow for all of us. I want to give everyone the opportunity to contribute to the world in a meaningful way, to make a difference in the lives of others.

So, if you've ever felt like you could make a difference in the world, I invite you to join me on Hutupia. Let's collaborate, innovate, and create a better future for all of us. Together, let's make the world a better place, one idea at a time.

How to transcribe your Zoom meetings the easy way
>We don't need to rehash each side. Obviously there are two strong camps, each with merit, for how to optimize productivity.

Perhaps having a goal of "optimizing productivity" is the problem.

If employeers were allowed to drive this to its ultimate conclusion they would adopt forced servitude as the maximum productivity setup (which, they historically, and even today in many places, have adopted).
This is an easy way to do it without the need for setting up complicated integrations. Basically just record, look for the file on your machine and then upload it to a transcription service.
Why did you omit the end of the sentence?

On the average, one square meter in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone contains around 15 kilograms of manganese nodules.

The CCZ is south east of Hawaii. 9 million square kilometers, approximately the size of Europe, this is the world‘s largest manganese nodule region. The total mass of manganese nodules there is around 21 billion tones.

Just the copper alone in those nodules is worth 1,800 billion dollars.

There is so much money just laying there, somebody is gonna pick it up.
Just one anecdote, but I've had a script run flawlessly on its own in multiple environments, but it's docker image exhibited the "works on my machine" problem for some reason!

(Never bothered figuring out why since the script ran fine on its own and was replaced with a proper application shortly thereafter.)
> My point is that most jobs are simple CRUD app jobs or positioning divs on a screen...

It's really not "most jobs." Although I do agree that a CS or software engineering degree is overkill for that type of stuff.

Also, "knowing binary" is a strawman, and not a very good one. A newbie developer getting confused by bit flags isn't a big deal. Point them to Wikipedia and let them read about it.

The much bigger problem is when inexperienced developers go off and write a ton of bad spaghetti code, re-invent a bunch of wheels they never learned about, and generally just write crap because they're clueless about best practices (or even any practices at all). Now the clueless newbie is slowing down everybody else and creating a maintenance nightmare.

TBH, most new developers are pretty bad (self taught, university taught, or whatever). The important thing is having experienced people around to point them in the right direction and help them get "real world" experience.

Gate keeping isn't always a bad thing.

I wouldn't necessarily count the Rivian out. It's not nearly as small as it looks in pictures, it can probably tow a utility trailer as well as anything else. The nice thing about the Ford, though, is that they're jumping on the NACS bandwagon, so they'll benefit from supercharger access pretty soon.

Looks are subjective, I'll give you that. And maybe Tesla's software is better than Ford, but that's a low bar :). Tesla's software has lots of bugs too.

I'd like a dumb EV truck that doesn't try to do anything special. I'll use CarPlay for infotainment instead.
Self-promotion warning: I make an app that’s a design tool for SwiftUI, aimed at designers who don’t use code. It’s called DetailsPro.

Right now, it’s a bit basic, but I’m planning on adding prototyping, animation, and generally expanding its capabilities throughout the year.

I too agree it’d be great if designers could use SwiftUI because then you’re getting instant validation the whole time that your design is possible.

Say what you will but Google is still a great place to work in my opinion. Work life balance is great, coworkers are solid, mentorship is abundant, culture is still great (subjective, but still true when I compare my experience to friends who work at other companies), there is continual investment in tooling and developer productivity, etc. I'm not just shilling because I work there and want to justify it to myself. I regularly investigate alternatives and cannot justify leaving when I'm happy.
LLMs for Code
This is hugely anecdotal, I can find examples of both extremes and everything in the middle around me. I think its rather good/poor parenting, parents not having enough time to raise kids properly (hint: there is never 'too much' time you spend with kids, especially young), dumbing kids down with primitive addictive screen fun or social media.

Lacking a lot of social interaction can make otherwise smart kids appear... less smart, since they may be shy, lacking motivation or skill to express themselves so they can be interacted with on higher level.

Once you filter all of this (and probably much more), and still see a difference on massive scale, we can start having a case.
Your bottom line is true for me in a different way. I am about to move from NY to TX. My employer only has offices on the west coast. I like my job, and AFAICT they're quite happy with me...but I'm definitely not moving my family to the Bay Area.
Isn't this tacit admission that their pricing is meant to squeeze out third party apps?
Really? I can't believe that the right approach is to lock up tech, especially with large corporations and/or government holding the keys. Arguably they're the ones most likely to abuse it. Witness Facebook that has actually transformed society raising the lunatic fringe to be on par with the mainstream using the magic of social networks and their algorithms that promote the most profitable speech, regardless of its corrosive effect on society. You don't need fancy AI to destroy the fabric of society.

The more appropriate path is developing countermeasures or counter-technology. This is only possible via free and open development of technology. God knows what monstrocity OpenAI, or any other corporation is cooking up behind closed doors. And we know their incentives are not aligned with those of a health functioning society.
Certainly there are differences, to your point. I don't think there's a huge difference though given that the US is so car-dominated. Good to hear CDOT rejected a highway expansion. We need more wins like that nationally.
i had a client who was burning… $10k? maybe $20k per month largely on nodes for EKS when they had no paying customers and ~zero load. (they had fully “production” sized clusters in all of their environments, and they had a slew of weird not-quite-prod environments.)

they also had some rabbitmq-on-k8s system going that fell over during small tests because they couldn’t get k8s to actually scale it. (which then convinced them they needed k8s, and bigger nodes)

I honestly don't know if I could work another job where I can't work remotely. If circumstances were dire and I just had no choice, I guess I'd bite the bullet, but I would demand a -lot- more money. Even if you live close, it can take up to an hour to get to my office downtown, that's 2 hours a day that I'm sitting in traffic and not getting paid for...it actually costs me time and money. Time that is impossible to get back.

I've made countless friends over the years from office work, met one of my best friends working in an office and made a lot of contacts that have helped my career; but I'm not in my 20s anymore, barely clinging to my 30s, the office environment is mostly useless to me now.

The main drivers I see behind this is to save commercial real estate investments. Productivity can't be dropping much, if at all, if companies are still making record profits while cutting back on their workforce. I can understand wanting to meet up for a big collaboration, but after that you can go back to remote and then meet up again, that doesn't require a 5-day work week in the office.

Catchall subdomains?
Oh yes. If you cram a lot of data in a laser beam reflecting on one of the Apollo reflectors, your average latency (the time it takes for the right part of the beam to arrive at the receiver) will be around 1 second.

If you do that with a Voyager, it will be about a day or so, IIRC.
I could see the writing on the wall. Offerup I think does this. If you click through an item in a search the URL has a UID in it. Then if you click on the seller and find the item from there, its an integer (which is likely a database index).

A Rivian is something like 100k, which means it’s really not in the running here. You could briefly get a lightning for 40k, but that has quickly passed. I think the cheapest is now 50 or 60k. If Tesla can hit their original 40k target I’ll buy one even though I don’t like Tesla.
That Mr. Schwartz offered this as a kind of defense makes me seriously question his ability as a lawyer. Even if he had a very high degree of confidence in the tool, he has to know that you fact-check anyway. Just as you would if a human produced it.
A single EC2 instance is an equally bad trade-off on the opposite side of the spectrum from over architected SQS, SNS, etc…

The ideal trade off is a single Kubernetes cluster with as much in the cluster as makes sense for the team and stage of the project. As you say, toss the app on a single node to start, but the control plane is tremendously valuable from on the onset of most projects.

To answer your question plainly: because Bitcoin addressed the value question by just letting it float, meaning that its value and the stability of that value are directly tied to its uses that drive demand (as with all currencies). This also led to the ecosystem being dominated by speculation, giving exchanges outsized importance - and simplistically implemented exchanges are a great setup for exit scams.

Contrast with say Hashcash where anybody can make more for a fixed amount of computation, so there would be little point in speculating on Hashcash tokens.

One also has to wonder how much Bitcoin's asymptotically limited supply directly caused the blooming of thousands of shitcoins [0] to satisfy the demand for monetary units. If newcomers could have just straightforwardly minted their own like Hashcash, would there have been as much of an incentive to go create competing currencies?

(I'm not some Hashcash maximalist or something. It's just an example of a system with a different paradigm of monetary creation, regardless of its other flaws)

[0] (not that Bitcoin itself isn't a shitcoin, being non-fungible and all)
How do you explain what he damaged at a technical level without revealing classified information? Are you claiming that the bipartisan committee of elected officials are all lying? Please show evidence that anything in the report is not accurate.

You are biased.
Sorry that wasn't meant to be directed at you. I was responding to the thread of discussion. I think we agree, and I was just reiterating that because there are two sides people need to compromise. I was also expressing frustration that there are still people chiming in to the tune of "well I want to be at home all day every day and hybrid is bad for me so RTO and anybody who supports it is full of shit" without any ability to, well, compromise.
How do you accurately price externalities without resolving them? If you spend a billion a year cleaning up plastic it's pretty simple math to spread that out over the cost of plastic products. On the other hand if you don't actually do anything to resolve it you are just guessing on what that costs and could be way over or under.

This seems like "I want UBI" with a flimsy environmental justification.

when i reference things from the 90s, it is far from my being stuck there. it is because i have the living memory of the pain from that time, and can see it being repeated by the people that have no living memory of that time. i lived that pain once, i don't need to relive it because someone else hasn't and is too stubborn to look at the history and not repeat it.
Yes those N95 and other disposable masks people have been wearing for years are made of plastic. This is a great way to ingest nanoplastics.
It's fun to think about what society would be like if all those "kids these days" denigrations, which are thousands of years old, were objectively true. The ancient greeks must have had secret fusion reactors and AGI that our blithering idiot archaeologists have yet to uncover. Our hypersonic aircraft are no comparison to the sumerians' near-lightspeed craft. Humanity has been on a downhill trajectory since the phoenicians figured out gravity field manipulation. Secrets lost to time along with our IQ points.
Yes, character by character is the future. At least for low-density languages like English (around one bit per character), it can be hard for an LLM to start getting the idea of what's going on statistically. Current tokenization methods are quite naive, but progress is being made on improving semantic meaning of tokens and also in improving performance of character-based models.
And people think we're gonna colonize mars. We can't even colonize the south pole, a much more hospitable environment.
Agreed. Lawyers are expected to be detail oriented and highly engaged with the factual and theoretical basis for their arguments.

I’ve been thinking about this. You bring up a good point. Advice of the last decade might not apply anymore given the changing landscape in tech and broader economy along with the feds response.

Joining hot new startups or VC propped companies may or may not be worthwhile. Is there a point of learning the latest FE frameworks or some new backend language? Companies will be risk averse. Hiring across the board might be tighter for the next couple of years with less roles so Leetcoding your way to a FAANG job might not be enough.

OTOH, the changing landscapes and uncertainty could lead to massive breakthroughs, initiatives and opportunities ex. (LLMs, AI, AR/VR, emerging markets in lesser developed countries, Renewable) etc.
That second greenhouse picture is a nightmare! If it were anywhere else on the planet, I'd say someone needs to trim the tomatoes and give them some breathing room to avoid fungal infections but the low humidity and the carefully cultured environment probably take care of that.
