Meta point: I'm curious of people's thoughts when OPs in general post "I'm N years old..." or "I'm a blind programmer who..." before posting something unrelated to their life situation. Personally I think this falls into the "girls do not exist on the internet" rule of thumb. No reason to state that you're a girl (or 12 years old or whatever) other than to prime people to look upon your writing with lower standards. I think it is fine to mention your situation in passing or as a footnote if it is interesting, but unsure it really adds anything to lead with it (personally I think it detracts).

That's just my opinion. Anyone else have thoughts?

FWIW this seems pretty well written from just skimming the intro and a bit of chapter 3.

Edit: sorry I did not mean for this to be the top comment and push OP down so far. The writing here is really good and folks should definitely click through and at least give it a skim if they're interested. I was just curious what people's thoughts were on this topic.

Why? My guess would be that like most companies you’re optimizing for short-term revenue, not long-term! Neglecting/firing low-volume customers who aren’t making you money this quarter so you can allocate those resources to your whales and not hire additional support staff improves this quarter’s numbers. Idk exactly what Stripe’s IPO plans are but as long as your exit is perceived to be a couple quarters in the future, there’s no incentive to worry about what companies might become the “next big thing.” That’s the next shareholder’s problem.

It is absolutely amazing that deflecting an asteroid is something we can even test. Depending on the size of the flung off boulders it may be preferable to the larger asteroid impacting. However, I suspect that when a potential impactor is considered for deflection it will be big enough that cast off pieces could still pose a threat.
I agree that it's probably not that useful, but to actually take offense? The outrage seems to misunderstand the law and the technology. If you think the numbers offer no meaning, then just ignore them. People produce bad tools every day and the world still turns.

None as solid, no. My needs are fairly specific (exit node in a specific country, torrent-friendly, good speed, not too expensive, not too shady, first-party support for my OS'es, doesn't have to be government-proof), so you'll need to do your own research.

For what's worth, I eventually went with Proton VPN, but it's more expensive and gives a used-car-salesman feeling.

gas systems normally are very powerful because gas is cheap and houses weren't well insulated. The boiler therefore had to be very powerful to overcome losses of the coldest nights, but the rest of the time could heat the building fast.

Heat pumps are far more expensive per btu, both to buy and to run, so it makes more financial sense to insulate the house well and have a heat pump just big enough for the coldest nights losses. But that means that any other time, heating up the thermal mass of the house can take days.

This is only a problem for those who want their house to change temperature.

Quote from the OP:

> The Gizmodo article has a ridiculously wrong “fair use” analysis, saying “Fair Use does not, by any stretch of the imagination, allow you to use an author’s entire copyrighted work without permission as a part of a data training program that feeds into your own ‘AI algorithm.’” Except… it almost certainly does? Again, we’ve gone through this with the Google Book scanning case, and the courts said that you can absolutely do that because it’s transformative.

What really annoys me is that we have not seen a single reproduction of LK-99 yet.

A lot of the arxiv papers will measure PXRD. Then they will say stuff like "the position of the peaks is almost identical" (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.03110.pdf) (emphasis is mine).

Anyone who knows anything about diffraction knows that almost identical means different.

The original paper specified that LK-99 requires a 0.48% contraction of the unit cell volume. if you are off by a small fraction (either from over- or under-doping) the sample is not LK-99. it is something different.

so far all "reproduction" papers have stated that they created the wrong material, then gone on to show that it does not behave as a superconductor.

I'm not saying that LK-99 is definitely a room temperature superconductor, only that I have not seen a single reproduction attempt actually report the same unit cell parameters as reported by the original paper. Thus not a single reproduction attempt has thus far reproduced LK-99.
I taught myself everything — my parents are not technical and sorta disliked computers (which I'm sure helped motivate me lol).

So what helped me most was just experimenting a lot, banging my head against a wall repeatedly. When I got stuck I just had to keep trying. Knowing I could Google problems was really helpful, but I also had to learn how to Google. I was motivated by the amazing feeling of finishing something I built, and also the fun of learning and then applying that knowledge.

It's hard to remember my tiny self so I wish I could give better advice. I most of all wish that I had a mentor figure, someone I could ask for questions or who could show me where to look, or even just be a role model. Getting into open source and talking to people online was amazing, although I didn't start that until I was ~12.

It took me a really long time to get where I am. There are probably more efficient ways to do so other than banging my head against things. But it does work! So just encourage them to keep going, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, FOLLOW THEIR INTERESTS!

To be fair for most of the shell scripts I write it would be more work to put it into an LLM and then verify what it output is correct than just retyping it in python.

I tend towards python these days if I need more than 1 variable since at that point I'm probably in the weeds already.

If it's just a ton of commands in succession though, I leave it bash. I have a few scripts in bash and PowerShell for weird ffmpeg operations I generally don't want to remember, stuff like loudness normalisation and converting to specific formats with specific parameters using ffmpeg.

> Yes, but not in Massachusetts.

“In Massachusetts, nearly 362,000, or 1 in 19 people, lacked internet service as recently as 2019, including dial-up internet service. In total, 1,009,000 people [in Massachusetts] were without broadband access at home.”[1]

”[In 2021] in about half of the state measured by Microsoft — eight of 14 counties — no more than 63% of households actually have high-speed access”[2]

What is the opposite of white urban legends, where people are so disconnected from how other people live that they assume that hundreds of thousands of people couldn't possibly not have broadband internet? Based on your comment, it seems like you have good intentions. But what you said isn’t based in reality. It is also rather telling that all your ramblings were about dangerousness surrounding "poor" areas. Not about actual poverty, which by the way is sitting at 24% in Dorchester and 34% in Roxbury.[3] Poor people exist, whether you are worried about being mugged by them or not.

This is really great. There are many developers with decades of experience that don't understand these things.
Can you (or archmaster) explain it? I'm not sure I understand what it's for.
You are missing on the current rate of covid infections which is very hard to know because there's no systemic testing any more and many people are asymptomatic. Last time the UK published this data in March, approximately 1 in 40 in the population tested positive and so the number of infected must be significantly higher. No other airborne pathogen is present in multiple percentages of the population.

Also, the problem here is the generalization "any severe infection" -- many otherwise healthy, young people with a reasonably mild acute phase have developed debilitating long Covid symptoms.

> ... the collision also shook off 37 boulders, each measuring from 3 to 22 feet across. None of the boulders is on a course to hit Earth, but if rubble from a future asteroid deflection were to reach our planet, Jewitt said, they’d hit at the same speed the asteroid was traveling — fast enough to cause tremendous damage.

Holy hell! OK -- do they burn up on entry? What's the criteria for that?
I think ESG was a Zero interest rate phenomenon. Corporations with lots of easy cahs spent a lot of it on vanity projects like diversity recruiting.

> These days 17 year olds can get away with "programming" by gluing things they don't understand

17 to 21-ish is probably my least gluey era of programming. I wrote an MVC framework from scratch, built my own interpreter, my own compiler, accidentally tried to reinvent machine learning and NLP from scratch, all sorts of cool and wonderful things.

Then I discovered money and prior art. Wow you can build things so much faster if you let others tell you “here, just use this”! And frameworks!! Omg jquery makes life so much easier this is amazing.

Many years later now, the stuff that used to count as “just gluing things together” is now considered “super low level advanced stuff”. We’ve built new abstractions on top of those abstractions.

The stuff beginners “can get away with” now, that’s the next generation’s super low level here be dragons stuff. Programming is great that way.
An application's performance is orthogonal to its binary size.
Counter argument: Which is good for local stores as they can compete more which will increase their profit so they can hire more people etc. It will also take a while to filter down like mentioned elsewhere.

Vendoring creates a copy of the dependency files. So no internet connection would be required to build it IF (and that is a big if) the project dependencies were vendored and versioned back then.

Interestingly, commiting vendored files is a common point of contention between devs. Some argue that it adds bloat to the project repo.

Unless I'm working with TB sized monorepos, I always vendor and commit, because hardware is cheap and my time valuable. I have 10 year old projects that build just fine without internet connection because all deps are commited with the project.

As a bonus I get a free diff of every single line that changed when a depency is updated.
Not author, but I've always wanted to approach programming from an algorithms-first perspective with younger kids. Not called algorithms, of course.

If they can create/combine algorithms to solve a problem... that's most of programming.

I'd start with the "robot" problem: have them write a set of steps to complete a simple task, and then have them (or better, someone else) go through the steps precisely (no cheating and assuming they meant something they didn't write!). Then iterate and add/remove steps until the task is actually doable. (Disclaimer: idea cribbed from someone else)

That gets them to grok the "everything needs to be in a program, and a program is only everything that's in it" idea.

The traveling salesman problem (recast in whatever form would be most interesting to the kids) and graph theory problems are also especially visual and explorable.
Underdeveloped countries remain underdeveloped precisely because of widespread corruption. This kind of authentication is invasive but it makes sense in this context.

Wow! This seems to be “too good to be true”, what’s the catch, if any?
It's always great when I see someone's work and it's interesting so I look the person up and it turns out that is not the stereotypical demographic (eg. 20 to 40 yo dude), but if I see demographic factor paraded upfront I feel like it is meant to compensate for lacking work (if not then what is the purpose?) and I automatically counter compensate so it tends to lower my first impression
For me, the calculus is simple: is the platform maker ensuring their work is merged upstream? If not, what’s the point? The field moves way too fast to rely on forks. Relying on Intel’s comparatively unmaintained PyTorch fork (stuck on PyTorch 1.10) is foolish. Hell, Apple, despite their reputation, has done a better job working with the PyTorch organization than Intel.
Great point - indeed FinOps teams consistently rank "empowering engineers to take action" as their number 1 challenge (https://data.finops.org) - and by that they mean the human and organization dynamics of the culture change they want to create across the org.

The testing analogy is a good one as this feature also shows the engineers the current "failing policies" on the main branch too, so whilst they could merge the pull request without fixing the tagging issue, it'll just get added to the list. And maybe like tests, they group them into one task and go through to fix them all every so often to get the main branch back to green!
A few sentences? For most books I've seen, it's a few pages. Google will block you from retrieving more pages from the same book eventually. Using a VPN and a different account may get around one limit, but I experimented with multiple VPNs and browsers once, and although I was able to get a majority of a book's pages, after that google stopped showing me full previews of any of the remaining pages no matter where the request came from.

I don't think it's weird.

At my last contract job the company supplied the laptop we had to use, and that made me sigh before it even arrived. It was restrictive, with its controlled accounts and restrictions on what software could be used, which meant I couldn't use the best tools I know well. The software we could use was poor quality. It had very poor battery life and it also meant I needed to carry two laptops everywhere with me in practice, the other being my own. After all there was no way I'd consider it safe to put my personal files and personal projects on the work-controlled laptop.

I much prefer to use my own laptop for work when possible. Just one to carry around and it's a good machine, worth the expense. Two jobs ago was like that, and it was a much nicer way to work.

I do understand why each job had their way of doing things though. The more recent contract involved access to proprietary code they didn't want to get out and potentially sensitive patient data. When the contract ended I couldn't login to the laptop any more.

Whereas the older job was all open source development, with a matching culture, so we were encouraged to use whatever tools worked best and keep publishing our work, and issues with work and personal files on the same device weren't a problem.

That said, despite proprietary work being the usual case, in 20 years all work I've done has been using my own devices except for that one recent contract, so I found getting a work-supplied laptop to be unusual.
The fun thing about markets is that there's one for labor too, and apparently the labor market has decided otherwise.
Maybe in this case it’s a way to avoid too harsh criticism. It’s like, “hey, if I’m missing something I don’t have a degree so don’t take this as an authoritative piece”.
