Yes, small shops in neighborhoods will never be able to match the price to utility ratio of large shopping complexes with businesses like Costco, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Ikea, Home Depot, Apple, Kroger, etc.

As long as one has access to a personal car, and those above big businesses are available within 30min, even 45min, it is basically impossible for a smaller, local retailer to compete. And now you have the internet and delivery to your door to compete with too.

> One of the differences with NYC (and maybe specifically Manhattan--though it doesn't map perfectly) is that there's a cultural expectation that residents, even those with money, may not own cars

NYC is the only city in the country where the majority of residents don't own cars. Manhattan has the lowest car ownership rates of all the boroughs, but car owners are still the minority city-wide. (Within NYC, car ownership also skews notably towards the wealthy).

I'm reminded of Bryan Cantrill's rant about Oracle:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc&t=1981s

> "As you know people, as you learn about things, you realize that these generalizations we have are, virtually to a generalization, false. Well, except for this one, as it turns out. What you think of Oracle, is even truer than you think it is. There has been no entity in human history with less complexity or nuance to it than Oracle. And I gotta say, as someone who has seen that complexity for my entire life, it's very hard to get used to that idea. It's like, 'surely this is more complicated!' but it's like: Wow, this is really simple! This company is very straightforward, in its defense. This company is about one man, his alter-ego, and what he wants to inflict upon humanity -- that's it! ...Ship mediocrity, inflict misery, lie our asses off, screw our customers, and make a whole shitload of money. Yeah... you talk to Oracle, it's like, 'no, we don't fucking make dreams happen -- we make money!' ...You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle."

It wasn't obvious to me why the authors chose kNN for the classifier. Since they produce a distance matrix, they could have used multi-dimensional scaling to convert the matrix to factors, and then used a tree algorithm such as xgboost which would likely make use of more information than kNN and produce significantly better results. They could have also used a PAQ compression algorithm which are much better than the LZ compressors -- all of which could have significantly improved the results and possibly delivered on their original conclusions.

what i liked about the subject paper is that the compression algorithm is abstracted away and it led me to consider what else one could do with compression via the p(x) ~ K^(-|x|) relationship, where K is the alphabet size and |x| is the length of the string x, and assuming optimal coding.

For example it occurred to me that one could do traditional classification by packing the factors for each response into separate documents and then proceeding as the paper does to classify which document best compresses the next sample in order to determine its class: a sort of supervised classification using compression algorithms. The closer the compressor is to an optimal code for the dataset, the better it will work.

Schemes for sequence prediction are equally straightforward to implement.

I found it to be a pleasant surprise.

I know HN tries to resist comments of this nature, but man do I feel old now.

I'm a 30+ year experience SWE. I had my own successful startup exit and after that I skipped FAANG to join the founding teams at other startups founded by Ex-FAANG big names. Unfortunately none of them panned out.

I recently went through a series of interviews with a company that were dragged out over two months. Each went very well. My last interview was with a "Senior Engineer" who graduated in 2020 and had a little over a year of experience at Google before joining the company in question.

He vetoed me because I used a debugger in a pair programming interview. Not because I didn't complete the task well.

So yeah, it's a bitch out there.
I've tried really hard to understand the outrage of not having a 3.5 mm headphone jack. I have Bose wired headphones and just use a dongle on the plane with my phone and tablet. My Laptop does have a jack, but it would be no big deal to use a dongle. I guess I'm just not an audiophile, but I doubt that many people are.

If a linker did that, changing the layout would be an ABI-breaking change. I think this opaque struct design is most common for dynamically loaded libraries, where link time optimisation does not occur (unless dynamic linkers got a lot more fancy recently).
I am currently at 24 applications, 3 interviews in progress, and 6 rejections (all at the initial application stage). Most of the applications are cold applies.

From what I've heard 6:1 isn't a bad ratio - things are definitely not as good as 2021 but also not as bad as last year.
> changing retail zoning is as cheap and expedient as writing a document

This vastly underestimates the problem. It’s like saying all you need to be president is have people write your name on their ballots.

Now I get to flip and take the other side, implying that APL is the best language in the world:

I agree with Iverson that notation is important. Just look at Maxwell's Equations. There were 26 of them until Heavyside noticed they could be put into vector form and suddenly there were 4 (5 if you squint.)

But yes, just because an approach is popular doesn't mean it's useful in all cases. Just look at Python.

I was lucky enough to be able to talk with Doug Engelbart in the 2000's. One of the points he brought up, which was elaborated in Bardini's book about him, was the source of friction between him and Larry Tessler. Engelbart liked to emphasize functionality of notation (be it textual or graphical) over ease of learning. "If it was important, the users would take the time to learn it," is a paraphrase of what I think he was saying. Even when he was at SRI (before working on the Alto) Tessler was advocating for "easier to learn" abstractions.

Where is the truth? Somewhere in the middle? Hard to say.

One of the neatest claims in the book Peak, to me, was that this idea is directly observable. Trained and practicing cab drivers had measurably larger "spatial areas" of the brain over others.
Totally fair and appreciate the (well written) thoughts.
Gotcha, I did not know you meant it that way, as in english, it is the former, and not the latter, and it differs from "can't afford it" in the way I described.

If anything, in english, it is shorthand for "too much for the value it presents", since a superyacht still has value, and thus a million dollars might not be "too much", but I still can't afford one.

Indeed, both this example and the originating one help illustrate both the difference between the two and the utility of the difference: if there was no difference, the saying wouldn't make sense, as you pointed out. But it does make sense, hence why it's a saying, so the two terms must be different, and that difference is that one term applies to the thing as it relates to the payer, and the other term applies to the thing in isolation
With respect to OP, I think the real issue is the 46 interviews and only 1 offer, not the job applications. To sit through 45 interviews without an offer points to a serious weakness in the interview department. Instead of all the applications, they should have focused more of their time prepping for the interview. The ability to interview is the most important skill when it comes to getting a job, you can be the greatest X in the world but if people don't come out of the interview both liking you personally and appreciating your skillset then its for nothing. This gets harder as you get older, I always make sure to clean up my diet a couple months before I want to interview to ensure I look good either on camera or in person, make sure you wear good clothes and speak clearly.

Personally I am a good 1x developer but I have never had an interview and not gotten a job offer. Probably had 25+ interviews over my career.

The interview is the most important aspect of any job application process. It is largely responsible for the amount of the offer you get as well. It also manages peoples expectations of you once you start the role as well.
The point was that you are receiving money for _this_ project, hence you need to actually support it.

It would be nice if you could print something with it. And "Fragile Base Class as a Service" isn't really the road to riches they thought it was in the 90s. Though I guess we replaced the fragile base class problem with the initialization fiasco and trying to figure out how to compile two different versions of boost into the same executable because you have two dependencies which depend on different versions of boost.

In other words... C++ is great for closely coupled systems and services. But in many ways, application environments running on top of operating systems are more loosely coupled. Earlier versions of BeOS did not make it easy to run an app compiled for an earlier OS API to run on a machine with a later OS API without being re-compiled. That's not too big of a deal with Linux since many things are trivial to recompile. But BeOS was supposed to be a commercial platform and they were releasing a new version of the OS every 6 months. So if you wanted your software to run for people with an installed base and new customers, you had to maintain multiple versions of the same code for different minor revs of the OS.

I'm not the biggest fan of the GNU Objective-C compiler (I cut my teeth on the full-function stepstone version), nor am I a fan of Mach (a heavyweight microkernel) or the son-of-NeXTStep monstrosity that is Rhapsody/macOS (with it's spinning beachball of death), but they did sort of figure out how to make late binding between applications and OS services work.

Something completely different, but because of a mid-career shift in and out of humanitarian aid logistics, I found myself as a boss of bosses when I was normally an individual contributor and project manager.

What I learned was that communicating your vision (or implementing the vision of your boss) is not enough, you've got to be in there next to your people and show you understand why they are not able to get to where you are leading them, so you can find new ways to unblock things and get them to do what you need them to do.

Also: sometimes the only way to prevent shit from rolling downhill onto your people is to take it on yourself. You pay a real price for the perks of rank, if you take your responsibility to your people seriously.

What I learned about being an IC is to have some empathy for management: they can be trying but the results can look like they are not because of the enormous inertia of groups of people.
I think all countries have few pilots. Russia is the #2 Airforce in the world, behind the US. If you compare them to the US, sure, they look under prepared. Against literally any other individual country, they look fairly competent. I don't think any conflict will feature overwhelming air superiority between two comparable powers.

As far as accuracy, it's tough to really say. The Russians have claimed to have hit all sorts of things, including a Patriot complex. Of course, the Ukrainians deny that.

As far as drones vs similar costing items, there's a different tool for a different job. I think the drones have proven quite efficient.
Often it's a topic I don't yet know much about. I hear about a topic and search for it, and find a disappointing wikipedia stub. I continue my search to find there are numerous books and research papers about the subject. After reading those my intellectual curiosity may be satisfied, but I wouldn't consider myself an expert and I also don't have any inclination to go back and write a proper wikipedia page.

I bought a 12" Macbook last year because my 15" is too heavy to lug around. It's so light that I forget that it's there. I spent months on the road with it. At home I would just plug it into my USB-C monitor and use a keyboard and Magic Trackpad.

Unfortunately it's too slow to play YouTube Music in the background, especially if Docker is also running.

I would buy an M2 version in a heartbeat if Apple made them. I recently bit the bullet and got an M2 Air. It's a lovely machine that's better in every respect, but it's 30% heavier, and I can feel that every time I take it with me.

A 900 gram laptop that charges with a phone charger is just incredible to have.
not sure what do you mean, can you explain?
I have been using Lua to customize Neovim for some time now and generally, the experience has been good. From time to time, I do encounter issues such as dependency incompatibilities butI always manage to find a solution. Recently, though, I experimented with LazyVim, and I must admit, it might replace my current setup. LazyVim fulfills all of my requirements, it works and looks great.

You’re welcome to disagree with me, no problem. But is the passive aggressive side comment really necessary?

I have found that modern translations inject a “modernness” into the language that isn’t present in translations from a century or two ago. If that doesn’t bother you, then sure, pick up a recent translation.
I'm unsure if this will happen. There's plenty of checks-and-balances for Wikipedia edits. There's automated spam detection, editors manually looking over edits for articles on their watchlist, editors who look over subtopics, and even editors that take a look at the general stream of edits. It's already possible to flag mass edits. As for whether ChatGPT will inflect the subtle tone and bias of edits made using it, that's the same as bias from human users. And the same mechanisms for dealing with human bias apply here.

In terms of practical utility, for the vast majority of humanity, access to translated articles in their local language is the biggest problem, I think. There is no Yoruba-language Wiki article on General Relativity, for example. Second comes entire biased communities - like some of the smaller Wikis are full of far-right editors, and most editors (like 90%) are men.

Investigating Zika-Microcephaly's ‘Crash’
This approach can probably handle most of the queries search engines and Siri-type chatbots handle. The big GPT-type engines can be reserved for the hard problems. Something along those lines is needed to keep the cost of search down. There's an estimate that using a large language model for search is 10x more expensive than existing search engines. Yet few queries really need that much heavy machinery.

What's missing is an example of a case where there is a potentially relevant exploit:

Many times, even Debian has avoided being hit by a vulnerability, just due to a good wack of issues being in fresh code changes.

And many times, even when the vulnerability has been a long existing one: RHEL is pretty focused on defense-in-depth, through compiler flag choices, SELinux setups, etc.

The fact that Dominos practically begs people to come in and pick up their pizzas themselves undercuts your arguments about driver idle time. Maybe in your market they sit idle, but in mine I'd imagine they are spending 90%+ of their time fulfilling orders. My orders often spend 10min in the "Quality Check" state (waiting for a driver under a heat lamp).

Automated driving is orthogonal to the bake-as-you-drive model. Dominos will also switch to self-driving when they can.

The cost of owning 10 oven-vans vs 1 store + 10 regular cars will be the tough part and will require scale, but pizza is big business.

Errands? I guess you could get by without a car. But then, you could get by without leaving the house for the most part, with groceries and other stuff delivered to your door.

Still, the average number of cars per household is more than 1 in the suburbs. And that's no surprise really, because work is not in the suburbs. Especially not the jobs that pay enough to live in suburbia.

If you're lucky the one bus line or tram line in your suburb goes to near your job. More commonly, it doesn't.

Look, people use cars because they are practical. They are fucking expensive, so anyone who reasonably can do without, will. People in inner cities do not use cars that often, because a car is a heavier burden there. Parking is expensive and difficult in the city.

Why Hypercolor T-Shirts Were Just a One-Hit Wonder (2013)
Right, but that's not absolutely universal. Harmonix does pretty well continuing to release DLC without needing an additional title update in some time now. My point was more that the DLC packages themselves don't often, if ever, come with actual code included, and this is usually for platform security reasons (Sony and Microsoft are both quite controlling about how executable data is managed and how it is stored). Perhaps maybe some scripts for the internal engine, depending on the game.
This isn't a substitute (nor is virtio-mem, the modern equivalent). The problem is the application running in userspace inside the guest cannot request more memory when, for example, it does a mmap or sbrk.
I am curious if this is as much a reflection on not knowing how to practice, versus only playing at it. If I weight lift but never progress above a 1kg weight, I would not be shocked that I don't get any of the advanced muscle benefits of weight lifting. Same for pretty much any physical exercise. If I don't push past my current limits, I am not surprised at lack of growth.

To that end, playing sudoku, but only staying at the "1 star" difficulty puzzles, I don't know why I would expect brain growth, as it were. Learning the strategies and modeling that is needed to solve the advanced ones, though, is a very different thing.
