Depends on what you're trying to do. If you're shelling out to git(1) or docker(1), rather than e.g. recursively checking for the presence of .git in parent directories, or inspecting ~/.docker/config.json, then the fork+exec overhead is already quite significant. Next if you're parsing ~/.docker/config.json in shell, you're most likely either asking for trouble or (again) shelling out to jq. Writing it all in an interpreted language means you're paying the cost of interpreter startup, which on underpowered systems can take hundreds of milliseconds even when idle. OTOH loading a static binary to memory happens only once, and with Go you can trivially cross-compile.

I also have a fallback shell one-liner, without any of the fanciness like displaying the current git branch:

Perhaps I missed it but I didn't see the author put forward a mechanism for how the "gate later" approach was supposed to work. Did I miss it?

To your point though, absent an implementation of "gate later", it's not clear to me that what the author would want would put you near the "dullest stars". There's no way Harvard (or any other Ivy+) would accept a "gate later" implementation that would give them the dullest of stars. The differentiators between folks with any non-zero chance of acceptance are already pretty small, and I don't think "allow everyone in" would be feasible as they would not have room to put all of the people who want to be there.

How would you go about demonstrating that you're a dev that do things properly in your resume?

Considering the code I wrote for work is in private repos, would you have to create an open source project to demonstrate this to future employers?

Genuinely, yes, I think that would have been better understood written that way here.
Ivies have about a 5% admission rate, and they probably have a much higher percentage of valedictorians than the general population.

They probably reject way more than 50% of the valedictorian/800 SAT applicants they have.

Plenty of examples of corruption trickling out... Take Boris Johnson's granting peerage to some Russian not long ago. Corruption is a trojan horse in capitalism, money matters which is OK with honestly earned money but when money is obtained by exploitation/violence/theft it infects the system because ultra rich oligarchs can use money to get influence. Before 2014 west (UK is known for it) couldn't resist Russian dirty money much, now they are learning slowly but unfortunately there's crypto to work around sanctions etc.
The content of this is a strange to read so my initial take is it seems like you know nothing about the music industry or record labels but i'll argue in good faith. A simple google answers your per stream questions: https://www.igroovemusic.com/blog/how-much-do-i-get-per-stre... The sad answer is almost no one is making real money off streaming except the .001%

Record labels aren't quite what they used to be now that we have distrokid, tunecore, soundcloud, etc as independent artists can get their music on streaming services themselves. You say you want to be a label, what are you bringing to the table? Do you have any connections in the music industry? These days the only way to make money off a song streaming is if it gets picked up by the big playlists, but guess what? Those are mostly curated by the big labels and you have to have connections to get on them. You can try and get your music on smaller curated lists by blasting out to popular blogs and reading lists as well. Use social media, hope you get lucky on tiktok. Google how to get your music viral as a social media influencer. The real answer here is there is no actual formula but by putting yourself out there on a ton of platforms and hopefully something sticks and it goes viral. At the end of the day is the music has to actually be good (read: something sticky even if its pop drivel) for people to spread it. As a musician and independent producer, this post irks me a little bit as you're basically signaling you want to simply make money from music rather than doing it for the love of the art. If that's not the case I wish you the best.
I really like these kind of threads and my wishlist grows everytime. One thing I really want to buy is a sleeping mask like the Alaska bear one [1] that was recommended somewhere else, but I'm worried about being too hot for sleeping with it and getting pimples because the skin on my forehead would not "breathe". Can please anyone who sleeps with a sleeping mask on all the time address my concerns?

No one has demonstrated getting rid of "old" content somehow makes the rest of the site "fresh" and therefore ranks better. What's likely the case is that some people have updated content to make it more useful -- more up-to-date -- and the content being more helpful might, in turn, perform better. That's a much different thing that "if you have a lot of old content, the entire site is somehow old." And if you read the CNET memo, you'll see there's a confusion with these points.

> * How to feel my emotions and not suppress them or push them away. And why that matters in everyday life.

Yes!! This is huge. Feeling emotions is so critical and a fundamental skill learned in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). And if I can add to that, NAMING the emotion itself levels one up too. As you mentioned, somatically feeling (e.g. "my heart is racing faster than it normally does", "I am starting to sweat", "my throat is constricting") goes a long way and if you can accurately identify the emotion (e.g. fear, anxiety, anger) then you are on the path to mastering emotional regulation.

> “On a personal note, I was accepted to an Ivy League school (though not Harvard) as a high school senior, but my family couldn't afford to send me there, so I had to go to a state school instead. My classmate and friend was accepted to MIT but also had to go to a state school because of money.”

This does fit my hypothesis that the outliers at state schools are likely undervalued in the market by recruiters. The averages at selective schools are a lot higher (work a few career fairs where you ask basic technical questions and this is obvious), but everyone is competing over them and the outliers at state schools are people like you with extenuating circumstances. Since the actual education product isn’t that different (though there is some difference), there’s probably opportunity in trying to recruit the best students from state schools companies tend to ignore.

I presume at this point people are also considering places like pennsylvania. You can get the same exact woodsy eastern township suburia experience in long island as you could all over the east coast, but in the vicinity of philadelphia or even baltimore you can also still take day trips to nyc on a train, and are saving money hand over fist over anything in long island to boot so you could take even more of them. I think its a matter of time before these regions explode, if they aren’t already, just from the outflow from the nyc region.
"Google says you shouldn't do it" and "Google's search algorithm says that you should do it" can both be true at the same time. The official guidance telling you what to do doesn't track with what the search algorithm uses to decide search placement. Nobody's going to follow Google's written instructions if following the instructions results in a penalty and disobeying them results in a benefit.
I doubt anyone anywhere ever has been the "best" hire - even / especially the greatest hires of all time, there was someone who had the same (or better) skills.

This substack quotes some of the relevant bits: https://colemanhughes.substack.com/p/10-notes-on-the-end-of-...

Copying here actual conversation (revealed in the lawsuit) between admissions officers at UNC:

“I just opened a brown girl who’s an 810 [SAT].”

“If its brown and above a 1300 [SAT] put them in for [the] merit/Excel [scholarship].”

“Still yes, give these brown babies a shot at these merit $$.”

“I am reading an Am. Ind.”

“[W]ith these [URM] kids, I’m trying to at least give them the chance to compete even if the [extracurriculars] and essays are just average.”

“I don’t think I can admit or defer this brown girl.”

“perfect 2400 SAT All 5 on AP one B in 11th”

“Brown?!”

“Heck no. Asian.”

“Of course. Still impressive.”

“I just read a blk girl who is an MC and Park nominee.”....

“Stellar academics for a Native Amer/African Amer kid.”....

“I’m going through this trouble because this is a bi-racial (black/white) male.”
I totally agree that the legacy and nepotism needs to be dropped. But there's some caveats to consider:

* It's partly about where your kids graduated valedictorian with perfect GPAs, etc. I was considered "gifted" in my district, but I would be below average in the greater scheme of things.

* Top 99% of SAT is nothing. I read somewhere that 60% of Ivy applicants have perfect scores.

* It depends on the major they intend to pursue. If it's a popular one, there would be many fewer open slots.

And I agree with you, there's schools just as good, if not better, than the Ivies. You just have to shop around looking for the field you're interested in. For instance, UIUC is a top choice for computer science and engineering, and it's a state-funded school.

It reads like an Onion headline. "Gen Z learns their badges can be used to track their movements. Said one employee: 'This is not OK!'"
When people say it's easier to get a higher paying job in [niche language] and that you'll have less competition, they're just echoing nonsense they've heard on the internet. There are a lot of devs in JS for sure, but there's also a lot of below average devs in that space. It's actually easier to stand out than with a long established language like Java with decades of baggage in how to do things. People will spot a Java beginner a lot quicker.

Moreover, you can't control what a company is looking for. They might hire you because of your hobbies, and I'm not even joking. If you're feeling discouraged by the process, understand that it's not abnormal for first time devs to apply to 80+ jobs and not hear back from any of them. It's just part of the process. Keep applying like that's your job

Some of those people seem to be speaking so slow that it is excruciating to listen to them. When I find someone who speaks at a normal speed and I have to slow the video down, they usually have more interesting things to say.

That said, tinkering before and after youtube has been two different worlds. I really like having video to learn hands-on activities. I just wrapped up some mods to a Rancilio Silvia, and I noticed my workflow was videos, how-to guides and blog posts, broader electrical information documentation, part specific manuals / schematics, and my own past knowledge. I felt very efficient having been through the process before, and knowing when to lean on which resource. But the videos are by far the best resource to orient myself when first jumping in to the project, and thus save me a lot of time.

I read that book, and just a nitpick, it's David Graeber and David Wengrow. I'd also add that those societies described in the book weren't just pre-industrial or pre-iPhone, they were in the literal stone age.
> leaking the existence of something terrible inside

If you should get the opportunity to look at a raw (DNS) NXDOMAIN passive DNS (PDNS) feed there's a lot of plain brokenness, but the nuggets can be truly alarming. This is what happens when translating between naming services: naming services typically have application domains, and names in one context are interpreted differently in another. Bobby Tables is well known, but how about that special file "-rf"? Was a time when the happy path for Active Directory essentially trusted DNS domain names implicitly for things like file shares. Sounds ok until you realize executable files might be on those "drives".
