There is. After 4-5 pages of loading Google gave up and showed me a “More search results” button with a footer below it, along with the legally required things like a link to the privacy policy. But who knows whether it’ll be 4-5 pages in the future?

This is a common problem with infinite scroll websites, not just Google of course.
I agree with having diverse friends and non-technical interests. What I was reacting to is the idea that he should associate with other 14 year olds. It is possible that he would find their behavior juvenile, the way you or I would if we had to hang out with 14 year olds.
Interesting. I wrote almost the same code for work a couple of weeks ago.

Not sore, but it looks like the Transition function has a race condition. It calls CanTansition() before acquiring the mutex lock. I think this could lead to illegal state transitions.
I think the more someone considers the whole work, the clearer it becomes that Hume really did have a coherent model in mind, but the chapter "Of Probability" is a spot that might ring a bell for reasons that will be obvious:

I think this section on animal intelligence helps spell it out too (I also have to wonder if people just ignore this part in general when they claim he's an "empiricist" in the understood sense, or maybe they just failed to fill in the missing shade of blue):

Dialog doesn't make it "one of the best cRPGs of all time" or even necessarily worth playing in 2023. That's the rose tinted glasses.

The gameplay is absolutely an important part of "should I play this now".

Plenty of games that were good when they came out aren't worth investing hours in today. Bioshock Infinite comes to mind.
> If you didn't believe in supremacy (even just feeling culturally superior) why would you have a problem with people coming in?

Because you value your kin and culture, and wish to preserve them. Or because you believe other people have in-group preference, which means your group will be worse off from increased competition. It's no different than a new pack of wolves moving into another pack's territory. From that point of view, the absence of self-superiority beliefs increases nationalism, since if the other group is equal or better, they are more competitively dangerous.

Reminds me of the factory towns that existed in the 19th and 20th centuries. At least in this case its to make expensive housing less expensive for talent who doesn't want to come to your hq because the region is an overpriced mess. Also, it is a good inflation hedge.
Which is why elegance argument would've favored staying with Lisp - not only it looks elegant, but also you can do all the "crazy metaprogramming" without the crazy, but rather in straightforward and elegant code.

And I say that as someone doing C++ for a living, and occasionally engaging in said crazy template metaprogramming stuff. Occasionally, because people tend to frown at it during code review; apparently, metaprogramming is reserved only to library authors...
Assuming that this doesn't devolve into a company town, Google deserves credit for taking on such a large housing project. The housing problems in California (and especially the Bay) require efforts from public and private actors. It's especially heartening to see them take aim at car centric development. I can only hope that others will follow their example.

Starlink Residential is not available in Africa except for handful of countries (Nigeria is the big one). The pricing is $600 for hardware and $100/mo for plan. Where the extreme poverty line is $700/yr.

Starlink will definitely help provide internet for whole villages, or to remote cell towers. And distributing the costs may make them affordable. But my suspicion is that charities will donate hardware and then when support runs out, the villages will cancel the service.

You seem to assume that Starlink is the only solution to communications in rural Africa. There are other proposed satellite constellations. There is the traditional fiber optics and cell towers. Starlink in the US is successful because of the failure of government and companies to run lines to rural customers. Most importantly, those options are available if Starlink doesn't work from light pollution.

I think most countries practice some form of "order is better than truth", including the US. There are famous examples of US courts rejecting arguments on the basis that "just because you have proof that you were wrongly convicted doesn't give you standing to appeal".

As someone who would like to use SQL to return a tree-like structure, how well does this scale (in terms of readability, performance, etc.) when the query is extremely large and nested? For example, if we are attempting to replace GraphQL with some sort of SQL.

I'm super unfamiliar with this space, and would love to know whether it is a feasible/worthy goal to replace GraphQL queries with generated SQL.

I’ve used git successfully professionally for almost 10 years and I’m not lying when I say I’ve used rebase about 5 times. We just merge. We squash sometimes. I think it must be because I’ve always worked in smaller orgs but rebase just seems to always be over complicating something simple (a merge). I get that there’s a benefit of a cleaner history but to me the benefit of simplicity merge offers makes it superior

> It's very opinionated

It is and it isn't. It does opinionated ways of doing things. But IMO what makes it so great is just how easy it is to opt out of the opinions you don't like. Facades are an excellent example of this: don't want to use them? Well, you don't have to (and IMO a really big app that may be a good choice - in a small app it likely won't matter and you might as well use them).

Presumably all therapeutic paths will start from salvaging his ruined life. Any basically functioning human would be doing the same in a moment of crisis. The key difference is what path he charts. If it's based on some profound discovery that makes all humans more relatable to him, then that's good. If it's based on a system of feigning the former then that's bad.

That's why I recommended what I did for a follow on study, because I didn't accept this as fact. Most of behavioral psychology, imo, is not fact based at this point.

YouTube channels are bogus, but he's not wrong. It's wildly unlikely. Any actual project would require not just a payload that can handle insane stresses, but also rockets for orbital insertion. Rockets that can handle those kinds of ludicrous launch stresses are hard to conceive.

I can't prove that it's impossible, but the gap between the requirements and even the most extreme conception of what's feasible is so immense as to basically dismiss out of hand. They're welcome to keep trying, but it absolutely will not happen soon and is not worth the level of attention it receives.
I was gonna say. Wut? They have a demo that probably fooled all the investors lol.
> Well, then, with all due respect, if you already know of other options, why are you asking?

If someone engages in a conversation with me and presents a thought, I would like them to present it fully. If there are obvious flaws or implications, I try to reflect them, both so I can be sure I correctly understood the other party, and to give them a chance to fill in those holes. I do not wish to just inject my own ideas everywhere, I want to understand people as they express themselves. Seems like a pretty normal way to talk to other humans to me.

> Who cares? Even if you cannot "measure" (whatever that means) the alternatives, the fact still remains that people are drawing conclusions from incorrect and invalid data.

And because you are declaring the data incorrect and invalid that means it is so? You will either have to share your research credentials which allow you to judge it as such, or you'll have to answer the obvious questions that come after such a statement (e.g. "how can you prove that?"). It's pretty normal in science that instead of people just blurting out thoughts which are taken as truths, we reflect on ideas and ask questions that help us get to a better understanding divided from our subjective point of view. If the best you can come up with is "well, it's obviously true, duh" then your thought isn't as good as you think.

> It's enough to point out that a thing is wrong

You are wrong. There, I said that you are wrong - does that make you wrong? If not, is there maybe some system by which we can determine whether you're right or wrong? Your response to this question is "no need, I am right".

I'm reminded of a famous case in Chicago in which a juvenile confessed to murdering his mother, and even offered many details that could only have been known to the person who committed the crime. There were calls for trying the kid as an adult, reviving the death penalty, etc.

Then it was discovered that the police had gotten their files mixed up, and the kid had actually confessed to the wrong crime.

But why this hypothesis? Sometimes people do tests just to learn as much as they can, but 95%+ of the time they’re trying to improve their product.

> there is no rational reason to expect it to go either way.

Flipping a coin has the same probability of heads during a new moon as during a full moon. I’m going to jump ahead and expect that you agree with that statement.

If I phrase that as a hypothesis and do an experiment, suddenly there’s no rational reason to expect it to go either way? Of course there is. The universe didn’t come into being when I started my experiment.

Null hypothesis testing is a mental hack. A very effective one, but a hack. There is no null. Even assuming zero knowledge isn’t the most rational thing. But, the hack is that history has shown that when people try to act like they know nothing, they end up with better results. People are so overconfident that pretending they knew nothing improved things! This doesn’t mean it’s the truth, or even the best option.
We're not talking about 10% factors, but 10x factors between slow and fast languages.

I'd used python on 3 commercial apps by 2007. One for Boeing, one for the navy one for an insurance company. Ruby was a little different. Ruby without rails had no real standards for making big apps. And I'm not sure when gems was made at rails con by Seattle ruby. Rails was for a long time a mega library for ruby... Ruby was missing a ton of features without rails. Similar but worse than a node web app versus working in a react app. No hot reload, no lib directory, many other features.

Agree on the missing indexes, was in a debugging session yesterday where missing indexes turned out to cause some issues.

But I have little faith that people who forget indexes are capable of writing procedural queries that are always fast. These less experienced devs are the ones that benefit most from the query optimizer doing the hard work. I think the real solution is for database to automatically create indexes where needed, as some database already do. And some better visual query editor like ultorg.

> have in mind the several jointures

I typically keep all JOINs I've ever used on that schema in a single file, one per line.

Before writing a new query I can just copy paste some JOINs, simply skimming through table names like lego bricks.

That way it's surprisingly easy to beam from domain problem to a new query that uses 10 or 20 tables.

I've just realized that it might be all archaic now, in LLM era.
Having played both Disco Elysium and Planescape, this is very accurate. Depending on the choices you make you will find yourself with the same plot points accomplished in totally different ways in both games. And different choices will go off the rails too.
It never had any particular benefit to write your startup code in Lisp.

That myth came from a few posts by a person who was a huge proponent of Lisp, in an era were web (front and backend) development was much easier, and web-related libraries were lacking in all languages (so it wasn't like Lisp's smaller popularity would hurt you there).

It's an example of one.

If they didn't get lucky and Yahoo! bought some other company in the same domain in their place (they already have a few competitors) the whole "Lisp as a secret weapon" would be moot.

Statistically speaking, 99.9% of succesful startups were written not in any Lisp, and 0.1% of them in Lisp. Not the biggest 0.1% either, more towards the bottom, in the context of web company deals during the ramp up to the dot-com bust. Viaweb was sold for $50 million. For context, Yahoo! bought Broadcast.com a year later for 5 billion and doc.com startups of the era routinely raising and burning $50-$100 million for fun - heck, Razorfish (a design consultancy) built websites for clients like Levis, Sony, Mercedes Benz, etc. for $20-$40 million (and that's late-90s era websites, nothing especially fancy).

Of course all that's irrelevant to whether Viaweb was written in Lisp. Which is my point, exactly. What's more, Yahoo! even scrapped all their Lisp code soon after.

Now, writing your startup code in a productive language, that doesn't slow down the development team, allows for easy+quality hires, and so on - even if it's not the best for when you get huge, is a benefit. That hardly requires Lisp.
That’s definitely pandering to the executives.
