Being owned by Meta (or Facebook at the time) was a selling feature for me when settling on it. The main reason being that they use it heavily internally, and have a vested interest in its success as a result. They've built it to meet their needs, dogfood features internally, and feel the same pain as everyone else when it comes to breaking changes and backwards compatibility.

This gave me a lot of confidence in React compared to other frameworks at the time I was evaluating it. It turned out to be a great choice now 8+ years later, and I feel the same way today.
How exactly would you do that? It’s impossible to map from a dataset of non-unique identifiers to unique identifiers without additional data and heuristics. The mapping is ambiguous by definition.

The underlying flight plan standard were all created in an era of low memory machines, and when humans were expected to directly interpret data exactly as the programs represented it internally (because serialisation and deserialisation is expensive when you need every CPU cycle just run your core algorithms)
We don't need to resort to tortured video game analogies to talk about this. What the piece is talking about is the difference between being physically drained and being spiritually drained.

People can tolerate a lot of exertion as long as it has a purpose. This isn't unique to work. Ask any parent, any soldier, what have you. As long as there's some meaning to what you're doing you can tolerate a lot. But if you're stuck in something that is soul sucking and has no purpose, that'll really eat away at people.

This medicalized language of burnout really just hides the fact that what quite a few people are dealing with is that they're stuck in dead-end, pointless jobs. As the saying goes we've taken some of the smartest people and have them figure out how to get other people to click on ads. I suppose it's easier to blame it on individuals than talk about the meaning of work in general.
Yup I should have quoted.. Police generally haul away those who are breaking the law. I interpreted the comment as Police should be making a determination outside the law on who to arrest.

>> In some cases the police should be hauling the executives away, not the protestors.
That's standard in the US as well.

It would be, if the most reliable way to get BP data wasn't to apparently violently compress the upper arm until it physically hurts and leave it like that for a minute. How people can do that on any kind of regular basis completely escapes me, and I'm not convinced it's not actively harmful. The wrist monitors are tolerable but seem to be very sensitive to wrist height.
Yes, I think that MGM has actively shut everything down, rather than some massive hack that has effected all these separate systems.

Best guess is that with the F1 races coming soon with what is expected to be the largest cashflow through Vegas ever, that MGM Resorts IT found issues in an audit in preparation for that massive event, found anomalies, and pulled the rip cord to shut everything down till they could sort out what systems were actually hit.

That is materially different than a massive hack effecting all these various systems though.
Their advertisers have been leaving in droves, Twitter itself has been breaking itself in new and profound ways since his take over and the site itself was broken (per Musk's own admission) as a result of the move. Profitability is in the dumpster, they're dealing with multiple court cases for refusing to abide by their legal obligations in regards to severance AND rent. And this entire critical move was caused by their lease running out with zero plans in place due to the financial crashing of Twitter.

I can't tell exactly where you lie, because you blast Twitter for having incompetent engineers, yet defend Twitter for also having incompetent engineers but this time under Musk. He 'supposedly' cleaned up Twitter (well, the employees, never mind the moderation policies when he personally unbans someone that posts CSAM), but runs it worse than anyone pre-acquisition did.
> and a company culture not focused on continuous improvement.

You have to prioritise these things. At a certain point, you often do have to say “well, it’s not ideal, but we’ll know well in advance of it becoming a problem, deal with it then”. This approach is, of course, not compatible with the company being bought by an insane billionaire who thinks he’s an expert, but that’s a bit of a black swan event, and not something that _should_ form part of your prioritisation process.
Setting aside the performance argument, strictly adhering to this rule makes a big difference in 3rd-party tools like Sentry. If you pre-format log messages, the parameters don't get captured, and (at least in my experience) it sometimes shows up as a separate event entirely.

Having written a monkeypatch for the stdlib logging library at Hipmunk (RIP) for our GDPR effort, I can say: I have a lot of thoughts about ``logging``, and few of them are good. But it's definitely better than print statements!

I don't think that people who complain about those things are saying IP isn't "real" or that they should get free media. Their (and my) point is that the practice of trying to put DRM (and licensing terms in general) into consumer products and IP goods that are meant to be experienced/viewed is a predatory and unethical practice. Copyright law allows for a balanced level of control over the works at issue, but the companies want more than that so they lock them behind contracts of dubious enforceability and essentially try to remove the rights consumers traditionally held over copies of media they purchased.

Whether they can legally do it is a currently pending issue (see Andino v. Apple) but the main point is that even if they could, it's still wrong.

Might doesn't make right.
I like what he says about just chilling out a little bit. I was having trouble getting myself to do any work, and after I switched teams, started getting more sleep, and was un-saddled with ten years of random responsibilities accumulated from being on the same team for way too long. Things are mostly better. Sometimes you've just got to feel a win and do something simple to remind yourself that you can still perform. Understanding the problem you're trying to solve really helps.
Compare that to gasoline at ~$104 to fill a tank of gas on an Audi Q5 (rough equivalent of a Model Y. It has an 18.5G tank and premium gas is $5.65 here). The Q5 does get far more range though. Something like 450+ miles vs the 330 of the Model Y.

Maybe it is better to judge how many miles a dollar gets you? 8 miles per dollar for the Model Y vs 4.3 miles per dollar for the Q5.

If you charge at home during off-peak hours, like most people do, the numbers get a ton better.
It’s entirely possible that these systems were hacked separately.

React using Remix (https://remix.run/)

I’ve used it for nearly 2 years in production

Highly recommend this video if want a good primer on the problem it solves:
https://youtu.be/95B8mnhzoCM?si=EzKwMLbJW2602PJI

It’s built by the team that created the popular react router library, which has over a billion downloads since it was published;

It brought the joy of programming back for me, but more importantly it solves lots of typical headaches in react and helps me ship faster and with right amount of abstraction and levers to pull

If you’ve used react router, all that knowledge transfers over, if you have a react SPA with react router, very little to learn

Great for Frontend UI teams, but, it’s simple enough in my observation that several SRE & traditionally pure backend teams who’ve never built UIs at my company have adopted it for building their own internal tools & UIs

Deployable on all major platforms that I know, whether it’s serverless or not

I use the remix with expressjs template at work and for personal projects

And yet so-called "reverse discrimination" is widespread, normalized and even celebrated. Hate towards all men, all white people, specifically white men, straight people, "cis" people, old people, neuro-typical people, able-bodied people.

The progressive narrative is that this type of discrimination doesn't count because these people are magically privileged and powerful. Letting this go completely unchecked is what is fueling a new rise in "traditional" types of discrimination. It's hate fueling more hate.

If you believe in the rights of individuals, it should be based on first principles. All individuals, not just the ones you happen to like.

If the CIA helped labor unions, they didn't cause the problem. Bad socialist economics did, and the US exacerbated the political crisis. Allende would've crashed and burned (deservedly) without US intervention. I'm not sure I see the merit in the argument that the US broke the leftist Chilean economy by supporting the workers ability to strike... if anything that aligns us closer with the left than Allende.
Humans are very much a part of reality, but our individual mental state is only very tenuously connected to it.

The nuero-electrical activity is very real, but the castles in the sky we imagine these mental states to represent are not.

I'm not at all surprised that people don't/can't/won't recognise the difference, as it often directly interferes with an individual's "identity" or other fictional mental states that people hold very dear.

Hang on to your "dreams" as much as you want, it's your life!

But in the end reality will exert it's dominance. We'll each die, and everyone else will bury us and ignore the reality that was just enforced and continue with their individual dream states...

A macro example of this is the "demographic crisis" over declining population, when nearly every physical crisis in progress in the modern world is due to massive human over-population. We'll continue with the dream state, and eventually physical reality will take it's toll...
The average car in Germany is making two trips per day, 15km each: https://umwelt-fragen.de/durchschnittliche-autostrecke-in-de...

So more or less a very typical commute. My 2016 Nissan Leaf could do this daily drive for 5 days without recharging, today's model's can do half a month of this before the battery is empty. Again: your needs might be on the extreme end and not suited to an EV (currently) but you are the absolute exception. This is not theorizing, it has been well studied and established.
I think it's closer to the 2A03. Unless I missed something, there isn't any support implemented for binary-coded decimal mode.
many thanks - that's an interesting correlation! and the first I've heard of it. If there is a causal relationship here then that would surely account for a certain percentage of the change in cancer rate under discussion here, as women (in developed countries) tend to get their children ever later in life, and fewer of them.

There are surprisingly few ambulance rides that would result in a death if they encountered a 5 minute delay. Half the time they are empty and if they are not empty they first stabilize the patient and then bring them to hospital relatively stable. Ambulance is really more like a hospital on wheels than a fast taxi with space for a stretcher

FastAPI, Vue, Tailwind CSS. I avoid a database until needed. React and Vue are very similar but find Vue more simple to start with, and I'm happy that it can do more fancy stuff too when time comes.
Earth's surface gravity is really on the edge of what's feasible for chemical rockets; IIRC the limit is around 1.4g. Though as other commenters have mentioned, it's possible to have a much more massive planet that's also got a larger radius and thus has comparable surface gravity.

Some fun trivia—the planet Kerbin from Kerbal Space Program is the opposite case. It has a radius of 600km, versus Earth's 6378km, but is exactly 1 Earth g on the surface. This implies it's over 10x as dense.

The avoidance of as much debt as possible is an irrational, emotional attachment to avoiding debt. Excessive amounts of debt is also financially unsound to collect, but the financially prudent thing is some debt, after which you end up with money, or equivalent, than if you not had taken on that debt.
What ticked me is that when the primary system threw in the towel, an EXACT SAME system took over and ran the exact same code on the exact same data as the primary. I know that with code and algorithms it's not always the case but even then you know what doing the same thing over and over expecting different results defines...

Yes, it can be argued that the software should've had more graceful failure modes and this shouldn't have thrown a critical exception. It can be argued that the programmers should've seen this possibility. We can argue a lot of things about this.

But the reality is that this is a mission-critical system. And for such systems, there're ways to mitigate all of these mistakes and allow the system to continue functioning.

The easiest (but least safe) one would be to have the secondary system loaded with code that does the same thing but written by a different team/vendor. It reduces the chance from 100% to much-much less that if any input provokes an unforseen, system-breaking bug in the primary, the same input will provoke the same bug in the secondary.

An even better solution is to have a triumvirate system, where all 3 have code written by different teams, and they always compare results. If 3 agree, great, if 2 agree, not so great but safe to assume that the bug is in the 1 not the 2 (but should throw an alert for the supervisors that the whole system is in a degraded mode where any further node failure is a showstopper), and if all disagree, grind everything to a halt because the world is ending, and let the humans handle it.

It can be refined even further. And it's not something new. So why wasn't this system implemented in such a way? (Aside from cost. I don't care about anyones cost-cutting incentives in mission-critical systems. Sorry capitalism...)
Worth mentioning that BP is about arterial, not venous pressure. Venous pressure is an order of magnitude lower than arterial pressure; usually 0-10mmHg.
That would be... the software supplier. This is quite a specific fault (albeit one that shouldn't have happened if better programming practices had been used), so I don't think anyone but the software's original developers would know what to do. This system is not safety-critical, luckily.

For point #1, it's the exit price that matters. Whether the exit takes the form of an acquisition or an IPO, is incidental. I've done both multiple times. Acquisitions tend to be faster, cleaner, and easier exits. IPOs are tough, and once public, you're often locked up.

>The E(V) at larger companies is awesome by comparison.

It's not just comp that's variable, but experience too. Fast-growing startups offer career opportunities that you'd rarely see at FANG. Even if your goal is to simply minimize risk and maximize upside, the optimal path is probably something like bouncing back and forth between FANG for the cash comp and fast-growing startups for the career acceleration.

Not to mention the type of people who thrive at early stage startups typically can't stand FANG environments, and vice versa.

> If policies don't drastically change.

That's actually the whole deal, even if policies change drastically in the right direction we're still completely screwed. Not quite as screwed but still not notably less. If we stopped our civilization covid-style on a dime and didn't emit any greenouse gasses at all from now on, we're still mostly screwed in the near term. Delayed effects are a bitch.

And policies will only gradually change at best, only after the effects are plainly seen and when it's laughably beyond too late.

The generic term I'm familiar with is "ping of death".
Any disparity between interarm BP—especially when large and persistent—should prompt consideration of diseases known to be the cause: coarctation, dissection, or aneurysm of the thoracic aorta; Takayasu (pulseless) disease; and various types of intra- and extra-arterial obstruction in an upper extremity.1,9,11,23,24 These diagnostic considerations become much more likely if the arm with the lower BP also has a grossly diminished radial pulse.
I find it interesting in how the "essentially" same keypad can be used in so many different ways. I've never once used the +30 second button, nor any of the other presets. Even before learning what is used in microwave popcorn, I've never used the popcorn preset button as they always scorched the popcorn. When I do use the microwave, I rarely use it at full power and pretty much always lower it 80% and use it for longer.

codapi is slick and this tutorial provides good insight into how HTTP APIs work.

OpenAPI is wack though. It doesn't provide any guarantees that the API does what it is supposed to do. I think in most cases it is a distraction and developer time would be better spent understanding HTTP and implementing and testing the endpoints.

I'm curious if others have had good experiences consuming OpenAPI as intended, i.e. you get handed a new API and you generate the code interfaces and plug them directly into your business logic without writing any extra wrappers. Or do you end up writing lots of wrapping code anyways?
