Yep. Even in the unlikely event that he's really that good, he's doing only the fun part of the job and shirking the other 90% where you turn your brilliant code into something that actually does something useful for an end user. A better manager would take action.
For dev support, why choose Discord over Gitter, or even IRC? Slack and Teams also allow free guest access for this scenario too.

That said, group-chat-based support seems like the wrong solution in the first place - simply because Discord is a silo and they don’t make it easy to get your own data back out of it (this page is an infuriating read: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004027692-R... ). Also, the fact that Discord themselves are using ZenDesk for their own support (instead of, y’know… using Discord) is another reason to not use Discord like this.

Orgs using Discord today are giving me the same vibes as those SaaS that thought they could do everything with only Redis and NodeJS (with no RDBMS in sight) - yes, it works and might even work very well in some cases, right up until it doesn’t and there’s no plan B.

For students, I see another dimension. I taught an algebra class once where two students were competitive at the top of the class.

The boy liked math. The girl didn't. And I think it was painful for him to see her sometimes beat him on tests over material that he loved and she was at best indifferent about.
> [Apple’s] samsung dependency on memory chips is because there is no option

Which is also the state of the launch market at this point. OneWeb uses SpaceX launches as well.

Apple also buys screens and batteries from Samsung, by the way.

> They do everything in house where possible, they line to control as much if the supply chain as possible.

Apple is more vertically integrated than a lot of companies, but this is not true. They don’t even do their own manufacturing—Foxconn does it. The only parts they do in house are the parts that they have a competitive advantage on, which at this point includes chip and systems design and software development.

> Amazon is launching a new product

This is actually more incriminating, not less. Amazon may argue (not convincingly, in my opinion) that partnering with SpaceX would be a bad business decision. But even if that’s true, it doesn’t make partnering with Blue Origin a good business decision when they have the alternative of not launching this product in the first place.

> Initial committments like spacex would be difficult to move away from.

How? There’s no inherent lock-in with satellite launch. If you contract with SpaceX for n launches, you’re not obligated to continue using them afterwards. Many if not most SpaceX customers have also used other launch providers.

> If they know they will find it cheaper to use blue origin in the long run

They know no such thing. Blue Origin has faced years of delays and has never made an orbital launch.

> They can only do wrong if it can be proven that they made a decision that is against the proftiability of the company intentionally or out of gross negligence.

And in this case, there is an obvious ulterior motive at play along with virtually no sensible business case for the decision they ended up making.
>Measure productivity by all means—I’m all for accountability—ideally as tangible business impact expressed in dollars saved, generated, or protected.

That's a disgusting way to think about productivity, the result of otherwise smart people growing up in a capitalist exploitative system.
This would be more equivalent to having some little spool in our head that writes down our summarized thoughts and then when we need to remember something we take the spool out of our head and look at it to reorient ourselves.
Funny. I randomly jumped to page 216 which provides a somewhat rudimentary (but reliable) method for dealing with mapping 3D world coordinates around a sphere, and I just recently read about the completely different No Man's Sky solution for world generation.

There is a search page where I can look up which repo a specific version of a specific PyPI package is in.

But I didn't find that index in the metadata files ("repositories_with_releases.json" seemed the most likely candidate).

Is it available as a flat file but I'm just too blind to see it?

20 years ago when I started there wasn’t anything I experienced that could be called coaching, mentoring, or leveling up. Sure, I could get some time from a more experienced developer to get another set of eyes on a particularly hard problem if I wasn’t able to come up with a solution but for the most part I was just expected to work with minimal explanation or direction. Very little in the way of code reviews as well. I certainly hope this has changed and to whatever extent I’ve been able to I’ve always tried to make myself available to others because sink or swim really sucks.
Borrowed a British military history book from an Australian library and a prior reader had very carefully marked several places about Churchill and Gallipoli with red underling and sidebar editorial "bastard! Liar! Crap reasons" type comments.

I made sure the librarian knew I hadn't made the annotations when I handed it back in.
AWS and Microsoft were both much larger companies with many years of successful operations by the time they launched cloud services. Discord is both younger as a company and still recently raising new funding founds. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t rely on them but they’re definitely less proven.

Not necessarily, given that a dense embedding can encode the equivalent of many many words or even higher order concepts not easily expressed in word space.

A point that was not mentioned in the article is that depending on the sport, there is a gold medal match and a bronze medal match. Both the gold and bronze medalist won that match.

Unclear if they do really.

Steam started their current "we allow absolutely everything" policy because they were tired of people making fun of them for constantly banning Japanese games because they think anything anime-style is child porn.

Except the actual policy implementation is that Japanese games still get banned, even if they're all-ages and on every other storefront, but now it's also full of Western hentai games.

(This is consistent with Steam getting employees from Microsoft, DirectX/Xbox were codenamed on the theme "what's the most racist thing we can say about our Japanese competitors".)
I agree. Now would be a perfect opportunity to give it Markdown support. Rich text for a more modern era. It wouldn’t need to be a big feature. Just have a button that toggles text editor and md preview and let it print formatted. Notepad is now a WinUI app so let it render the md with MarkdownRenderer.
I think it's difficult for a lot of Russians to understand that the tried and true political strategy, "keep out of politics and they'll leave you alone" has been taken off the table. It turns out that letting a criminal regime do whatever it wants might have some personal blow-back after all.

Like it or not, if you are in Russia you are making a political choice to be part of this regime. You contribute to its economy and tax base and contribute, directly or indirectly, to an organization which is right now committing atrocities in Ukraine to steal their land and children and erase their history and culture.

When I look at the injustices that exist in that part of the world, the plight of the well-off holidaying Ivan from Moscow or Peter ranks near the bottom of my list.

What's more, the relative volume of Russians' complaints about sanctions compared to the (almost nonexistent) volume of Russians' complaints about the wide-scale torture of Ukrainian PoWs, systematic kidnapping of Ukrainian children, murder and 'filtration' of civilians, etc. reveals a disheartening reality: Russians only care about themselves.

So why should we care about them?

Any time or energy spent worrying about Russians is far better spent worrying about Russia's victims: Ukrainians.

Yes the project will fail. But if my manager only cares about speed, why should I care about anything more? Why should an engineer be responsible for a manager's poor decisions?
Impossible. 1$ per chip is for large batches, tens of thousands chips.

You must know few things.

Theoretically, all digital chips could be defined in verilog, but in reality exists few ASIC types.

For simplicity, I begin with FPGA - they are matrices, where configuration memory (RAM or ROM) used to define which rows/cols fused. In reality, now most FPGAs include distributed RAM cells, some serial transceivers, DSP blocks, and even CPU cores.

Next level, are just FPGAs but without configuration memory, but instead, used laser burnt fuses. They usually have up to ~2-3 times less power consumption, higher frequencies, and ~2 times cheaper then corresponding FPGA family. Sure, they have specially defined process of conversion from FPGA.
With this type, you could save huge money, if buy chips without package (for example you may seen chips inside drop placed on PCB with glue).

Unfortunately, I cannot remember FPGA with price 1$ per chip or even near this.

Next are logical blocks. Yes, they are similar to software libraries, defined for exact factory technology.
They are faster, but more expensive. As I hear you must buy at least one wafer (sure, you could try to find companion, so you both will buy parts of wafer).
Here, to save money, could avoid standard testing and package.

And near last type, are "rendered" ASIC, for which you define design for lithography mask, this involves physical simulation, special handling of procedures of testing/fixing. Nearly all consumers CPUs and modern RAM are "rendered" ASIC. Example of special handling - RAM made with 6 memory blocks, but working 3-6, so after testing, they used laser burnt fuses, so controller configured to use only working parts of chip and on market appear chips with different RAM size, different speed, different cache size, etc. This is extremely costly to start, but with batches of millions chips, could be less then cents for a chip.
The software is the value proposition of modern equipment. Making a tractor is comparatively easy - we've been making them since the age of steam. Making a tractor with all the features of a day cab tractor truck, plus EPA compliant engine management through a host of proprietary systems, plus the systems and sensors needed for self-driving... Very non-trivial to replace.

I agree it’s not a TOS violation, but I do think it could potentially be a shitty move to post the ASN from which a specific user is connecting to your service, if they’ve not said it’s okay for you to do so.

If you’re from a small town with a local ISP, associating that town with your first name could be enough to specifically identify you, with the help of yellow-pages directory sites. Even just knowing someone’s state or country is a data point that can be used to narrow down their identity. For the privacy minded, this could be very unfortunate.

I’m not sure why you would be publicly posting the ASN from which a user is connecting anyway? Could you explain the context a bit more here?

The Apple App Store is a similar single point of failure and both Uber and Instagram would not have become what they are today if they had not built their businesses on the back of the concept that Apple will not arbitrarily ban them. When they launched, their web apps didn't exist (and you couldn't access gps or photos from web apps anyway, so their services were impossible except for via the App Store).

Then again, so did Tumblr.

So what? India and China aren't going to work together to counter the financial dominance of the US dollar, World Bank, and IMF. They can't agree on anything. The rest of the BRICS are too poor and weak to matter.

Regarding other cases, there are already ways of handling those. I don't think just because many ask about something, doesn't mean it's not currently working.

Social networks are an example that is east to describe to people. But that doesn’t mean they’re what the chip would be particularly used for. I don’t think you should read much into the examples that are used here.

The previous thread had some examples. But the workload you should imagine is one where you are doing some kind of big parallel computation where each thread does a lot of unpredictable memory accesses. So various graph operations fit this, as do various database queries.

High mortgage rates affect owner occupiers just as much as potential landlords, and possibly even more.

Landlords are likely to be much more cash rich than owner occupiers. High rates are a serious impediment to first time buyers especially, who need to take on lots of debt to fund their purchase.

Especially as rental rates increase during periods of high rates (note that landlords are like to increase rental prices to try and keep afloat, and developers are less likely to build when it’s more expensive to do so).

When it's declared an unconstitutional income tax and the state is ordered to refund taxpayers, where are the funds going to come from? We're not going to claw them back from schools, right?
