He's not arguing about how common it is in practice for people to choose inheritance vs composition. This line seems to make that pretty clear:

> But despite the fact that many programmers out there have gone through bad phases like this and eventually come to smart conclusions about how to actually write good code efficiently, it seems that the landscape of educational materials out there still overwhelmingly falls into the “objectively bad” category.

So his frustration here is that there's tons of educational material that focuses on inheritance even when that's not what most experienced programmers are doing.
Not at all tired of being fully remote. I actually took a remote job pre-pandemic (by a ~month) after being in a strict, 9-6 (hour lunch break) day because the company had a legacy in the consulting business and treated their product teams the same.

The freedom and flexibility to structure my day as I see fit without anyone raising an eyebrow is something I'll continue to look for. There's no more performative productivity and I can focus on doing my best work and maximizing my impact for the organization while working a schedule that works for my lifestyle. It's the best of both worlds for me and my organization.

The things I do miss, though, are the in-person connections. These don't have to happen every day or even every week. Quarterly offsites are enough to get benefit. It's also likely cheaper for an org to get everyone together for a week-long than have standing real estate obligations (lease or otherwise).

Additionally, optimizing for regional concentrations and allowing folks to get together more frequently would help bridge this gap.

Biggest thing is that hybrid-remote is inflexible and doesn't allow the team to self-organize. The future is to decentralize in-person versus remote work to the lowest level team and let them figure out what works best.

That's why it's a ridiculous rule. It's arbitrary and subject to selective enforcement.

But as a guideline you could say if it's after midnight it's probably a party. And if it's not you let people use their judgment, because guidelines are suggestions enforced via social pressure, not via official penalties.

Sure at a conceptual level all stored data, even transitory, is a database, but I don't think that's a helpful analysis here, for a start current databases are far too limited.

A database implies a separate runtime system to manage data, whereas this is data storage within a program, part of 'data-structures and algorithms'.

> Allowing patients to record audio and video greatly increases the impact of incidental disclosure, of other patients PHI being exposed by your recording or another patient recording your PHI, and that can be a HIPAA violation depending on the context.

That seems like a cop-out to me, and it actually seems to be a tacit admission that PHI isn't secure in the middle of a facility. If someone else's PHI hits my ears or eyes, it's already a HIPAA violation whether or not it's recorded. The desire of consumers to record interactions and keep providers honest does not/should not constitute a novel barrier to that provider's privacy compliance.
“Non-earth origin or exotic UAP material”: 6 months to make it available to AARO
The book utilises a series of Scheme based teaching languages to teach about how to write functions for increasingly complicated data types. The language levels produce meaningful error messages for programmers of that particular level and goes on adding language features as you progress through the book.

The book furthermore teaches a design recipe which comes in handy when you are stuck with a problem. Basically it teaches you to write examples first so that you understand the problem instead of jumping onto the editor to write code first. The examples help you structure your data. The rest of the code follows from it.
I took the survey, then my wife did. I was being strict, so I said the parachute was a vehicle in the park. The site said I agreed with 8% of people. My wife was being reasonable, and said it wasn’t. The site also said she agreed with 8% of people.

My guess is that they’re taking the percent of all people who answered at least seven questions, but I could be wrong, and the results are in any case very misleading.
fair 'nuf. I'd love to hear your opinion on it - take up my point or the opposite - whenever you have the time. I would say "no offense" but I think I've offended basically everyone on earth now in this thread.

The bicycle is quite capable of acting as conveyance for a human (or perhaps bicycle peddling robot, or trained animal) in its current form, so that's an easy "no" from me.

As I said, if the thing can (i.e., without significant, non-trivial alterations to its current form) act as conveyance then it is a vehicle. It need not be in the act of conveyance, nor must it have an independent means of propulsion.

Edit: my simple rule breaks down when thinking about a flat piece of wood attached to rope. My mind says that's only a vehicle if someone chooses to use it as such for pulling objects or people. I'll leave the search for a universal maxim to others, it seems.
In general people often understand better and prefer the tool they use often to the tool they occasionally have to use but never thought it worthwhile to study in depth.

Does toast provide any value to the customer going to the restaurant now that they have added this fee? Why wouldn't I go on the toast menu, pick everything I want, see the fee and then just call the restaurant? Door Dash and GrubHub have tried integrating into the restaurants website and charging ridiculous fees for delivery, there is even less value in having a fee for pick up.
This is just one case the general rule of ambiguity.

At one of my jobs, a product manager came up with the idea of categorizing explicitly delineating everybody's selection criteria into a "normalized" form to allow for aggregating statistics.

I tried to point out up front what a fool's errand in this was. There is way too much ambiguity in the language.

I was overruled and the company then spent probably 7 to 15 million dollars chasing this ridiculous El Dorado dream.
Eventually, after 3 years of wandering in the wilderness of normalized ontologies, they gave up and decided all NLP is bad.

This decision came out about 2 months before the release of chatGPT.
>Speeding is mostly enforced everywhere.

I disagree. Everyone I've talked to in the US considers 5 mph over the limit to be perfectly safe from tickets (enforcement), and 10 mph over to probably be safe from enforcement. The few times I've heard of people getting ticketed for 5 mph over the limit they were outraged at the injustice of it, and most people agreed with them.

Speeding is mostly enforced if you're 10+ over the speed limit, or driving a heavy vehicle.
> EU countries with like—the horror!—two or three different nationwide VAT rates for different classes of products require receipts to detail the rate and amount used for each line item specifically

(Assuming it's a physical store frequented by consumers) every price label on every shelf shows the price including VAT.

Your EU/GB store's receipt will indeed break out the subtotal net of all VAT, the subtotal amount of VAT charged (shown broken down by different rates if that's applicable), and of course the overall total.

Note that 99.9% of EU consumers only care about the price of an item including taxes, so those prices are what consumer shops display, and are the only numbers consumers look at.
I assume OpenAI and Google haven't shown any new text-to-image models because of the ongoing lawsuits related to the unclear legality of using copyrighted training images. Midjourney was already sued, so they apparently decided to go full steam ahead anyway.
Well, speaking of myself, I had always heard from managers that "people who work from home don't work", "it's more effective and efficient to be in the office", "you have to live the company culture" etc. But when we asked about a team-building event with colleagues from USA and India we were told "use modern technologies, it's equally effective". Something wasn't right, to say the least. Then COVID struck and the managers saw that the company didn't collapse. Au contraire, the efficiency of work teams were the same or even better. I also had to invest into modifications of my apartment to create a nice and efficient work environment, out of my pocket. So when my employer said "OK, COVID over, return to offices", I asked to remain full-time WFH. Denied. OK, found a new job. Luckily, there were other people who did the same so they now allow for full-time WFH.

These were my reasons. Since all that "be in office" was an utter load of shite and corpo toxicity (managers wanted to see you sitting at your desks or call for pointless meetings which could've been an e-mail), I am also extremely toxic about "return to office" unless it's guaranteed that the whole team is in the same office (which, in larger companies, doesn't happen).

If you, asim, want to work from the office and prefer real human contact (which, TBH, cannot be replaced by Teams, I agree with that - I spent my fair share of time away from my wife (luckily no kids at the time) and yes, a Skype call and couple of dungeon runs in World of Warcraft can't replace the experience of being at home :-D ) that's absolutely fine. I wish you find a workplace which suits you (that shouldn't be so hard these days). Do you really need a couple of weirdos on HN to assure you that you are correct? Guess what, speaking of the WFH, hybrid or "office" crowds, we all are! These are our preferences. Mine is different from yours. That's all. ;-)
That would discourage a customer from keeping more funds at a bank. As a bank, that would be counter productive to the purpose of having more deposits, right?
I did Ben Eater's 6502 kit and expanded on it a lot. You're right, it really gets you to appreciate how computers really work, in a much simplified way of course, compared even to for example the first IBM computer.

Implementing something like a FAT file system for example also really makes you appreciate the deeper concepts of how an OS works. I only did a very simple FAT implementation, without subdirectories, but even with that, terms like FAT and sector became very concrete things instead of vague concepts.
Claiming something might be emergent is a way of hand waiving away your responsibility to explain the mechanism in your hypothesis. It means nothing.
I don't think this really explains anything though; even if we assume what you're saying is true (it might be, although not something I would bet on) that still leaves us with unexplained mechanisms of action.

Not hateful at all. You have an opinion and it's backed up by an easily provable logic.

Activision is indeed toxic, but they do have a host of great games both under their Activision banner and their Blizzard banner. I can see why a lot of people are against it, and I don't blame them to be honest. I just hope the acquisition happens because it means more games for Game Pass subscribers and perhaps with the additional capital that being bought by a multi-trillion dollar brings. Personally, I'd love another Starcraft (or an expansion/update of SC Remastered).

Ideally, instead of this sort of $$ done on an M&A deal I'd like to see MSFT buy up 50 smaller studios and give them free reign to build whatever they want so long as it's exclusive to Xbox and PC, as opposed to buying 1 publisher for dumb money and milking its main cash cow.
Who Swims with the Scientist?
I’m part of the responses you’re not interested in but since it’s Ask HN … :)

I’ve been fully remote for 14 years and there’s nothing that would make me go back to an office.

That’s not to say my experience has been without its bad moments, but to me, the tradeoff is completely worth it.

Obvious perks:
- flexible hours (this depends on the job, I’ve done remote shift-based support with no flexibility but most of this time it has been on flexible hours
- No commute, especially good when you need to do off hours work. I remember being on call 20+ years ago and in an industry that wasn’t too keen on remote access (finance) and nothing beats a commute from bed to desk (nothing beats not being on call, of course)

Less obvious perks:
- no need to deal with perfumes, smell from foods I don’t like, noises, other people’s music or chatter, overall, a private space that’s truly private or only shared with the family is the best for me
- no need for a day of pets in the workplace because the pets are always in the workplace
- I can invest as much as it makes sense to me in ergonomics for my workplace, and I take that from job to job. No more bad chairs, or someone else thinking their dream setup is everyone’s dream setup either
- I can be there for my family. A coffee break can be a coffee break with my wife or one of the kids. My dad left home before 8 AM and came back after 9 PM during my elementary school years, as a counter example.
- my office-hours-but-it’s-time-for-a-break perks are unbeatable. No matter how much $$ a HR dept may throw at this problem, if you try to please everyone you’d end up with the Homermobile of offices. But if it’s just you? I have several musical instruments and gear in my office. When my breaks aren’t a family or couple break, they’re a music break. And my noise doesn’t annoy any coworkers.

Cons/challenges:
- it may be challenging to get off work if the desk is always reachable. I had this problem at first, took me about 3 years to learn to actually “leave the office”
- when the kids are small they can be distracting. Over a lifetime though, unless you keep having kids (I don’t mean this to make fun of some people, it’s just that I’ve met people with lots of kids and in those households, for about 10 to 12 years there’s always a baby around) this is just a drop in the ocean. But when you’re in the spot where the drop falls, it can feel overwhelming.
- if you’re not at a fully remote or remote first place, you will be left out of many things. That doesn’t have to be bad (I had that at one place and didn’t mind) but if you ignore this fact you’ll be in for some unpleasant surprises.
> If they had bought treasuries and put it in a Schwab account it would be safe even if Schwab went bankrupt right?

Yes, because Schwab is at best a custodian and cannot dip into customer funds for anything at all.
Biggest tile first, nearest entry node first should be linear time.

Decent chance you can hack 'optimal' out in a reasonable timeframe if you run that heuristic first and then prune the search space to discard any solution that would be worse than said first guess.

I'm certainly not convinced by the argument that optimal egraph is equivalent to the minimum set cover problem and thus in NP. I can believe that egraph extraction can be modelled as minimum set cover, but there's a lot of additional structure in the egraph which I suspect takes us out of the general case.

By analogy, it is known that register allocation is NP complete because it's graph colouring. Despite that, register allocation on a chordal graph can be done in linear time, and SSA form gives you a chordal graph. Being a specific instance of a hard problem matters.
We'll approach it like a network-on-a-chip: 128 servers with an extremely fast network. Each server will be a process. One process will be something like ingress, another like a message queue and the rest will be workers. Chances are the chip doesn't need or want to be saturated, so you rotate the cores using Linux magic of some kind.

Put that on a napkin and give it to an unsuspecting intern.
It’s subtle, but you don't avoid “take reference then mutate” in Rust, you are told exactly how to do it without aliasing the memory.

I’m not going to say Rust is perfect, that’s obviously not the case. But I really think your argument, like others are saying, underplays the actual value of Rust.

I’ve written entire projects in both C++ and Rust. I’ve never wasted days debugging memory corruption in Rust. Just sayin’.
> The author seems to not enjoy planning before writing code

Or the author's experience (which is extensive) has led to the conclusion that all that planning you want to do at the beginning rarely gets you the proper abstractions.
> we wanted to provide our clients with a PDF guide

How often do you think they printed this guide, and of those instances, how often do you think they cared if the layout/pagination/etc. was identical to seeing it electronically? If that number is sufficiently low, I'd argue that the guide should've just been HTML.
I’m not talking about a store guessing prices or tax, I’m talking about a consumer doing it.

If I remember I’m generally paying 20% VAT on my purchases and suddenly I’m seeing $3 of “tax and fees” on my $10 pre-VAT bill, I’ll probably know somebody’s doing something funny. If a store receipt (online or offline) is furthermore legally required to put the pre-VAT price, VAT rate, and post-VAT price for each item separately, there’s no way to sneak in a sudden $1 fee except for putting an item for SUDDEN FEE: $1 somewhere in the list. Presumably such an item would have annoyed quite a few people more quickly and efficiently than the current situation where they need to read about it in the Boston Globe, which might have made the vendor more reluctant to impose the fee to begin with.

Again, I’m not saying this situation doesn’t have its own merits, just pointing out that it only exists because there’s an opaque “tax and fees” item to sneak things into to begin with.
I think it works quite well when they focus on architechture, mentoring, product planning, estimation, cross team communication, code review, devops and small feature/config requests. On slow days they can fix those nasty bugs that have been in the backlog for a while, or on tight deadlines they can help in the parts lagging behind in the important project. But yes I can see how this could be considered "bad" IC, but all that gruntwork is work that doesn't need to distract and slow down your team now.

It's amazing to work with a good team lead like that since you can focus 90% of your working time on getting top priority things done.

What I've seen from the opposite approach is that ICs have a lot of pressure to estimate, plan, document, communicate etc because the managers are too detached from the day to day work. Almost no actual work is getting done because of all the interruptions and endless technical bikeshedding because nobody has either the authority or understanding to call the shots. The ICs compensate for this by working overtime for free.
This is a breathtakingly rude comment. The blog post author is not some random grad student looking at another's work; he is actively working on egglog & is one of the key people driving work in the e-graphs space.
I don't understand the perspective of "large depositors should just smurf their deposits across 1000x FDIC banks." If they do that, the FDIC is still on the hook for the aggregate large deposits, so why not cut out the smurfing middleman and just insure large deposits directly?
Sadly relevant given the "stand your own" climate currently infesting this sad country.
I have never been through a police check point other than booze buses or border control focusing only on fruit and similar to avoid disease propagation.
Developers are falling victim to the same illness that pervades our whole economy: ignoring the ground truth. When Tesla announces a cybertruck it's not because Elon is thinking of selling cybertrucks. It's because he increases the stock price. When developers develop they're developing to fulfil buzzword checklists and not to tell the CPU what to do to accomplish a goal - that's seen as secondary.
I also arrived at this approach too! Totally agree with the thoughts here.

Writing things down really helped give me a better perspective on the process I use to organise work as well.
To me the issue is one of pragmatics: the instruction say "ignore your local law" but they don't say "ignore reality".

Taking the ambulance example: it would indeed break a literal interpretation of "no vehicles in the park" and would also fall under the instruction "ignore your local laws". The issue, however, is that 99% of all parks in the world would allow ambulances, and those that don't would have a specific clarification as to why (archeological site, dangerous, etc). At that point, if it didn't allow ambulances then it would almost certainly not be a park either.

If I wanted to get agreement I would specifically write "forget what you know about the human experience and pretend you're a cold robot with no feelings and no idea about social contracts".
