qsv (https://github.com/jqnatividad/qsv) also has a sqlp command which lets you run Polars SQL queries on CSV(s).

Here I'll:

- Send the csv data from stdin (using echo and referred to in the command by -)
- Refer to the data in the query by stdin. You may also use the _t_N syntax (first table is _t_1, then _t_2, etc.), or the file name itself before the .csv extension if we were using files.
- Pipe the output to the table command for formatting.
- Also, the shape of the result is printed to stderr (the (4, 2) below).

I read this article looking forward to the complex bespoke code to be ripped out and deleted - but the author clearly grew as an engineer in a way I didn’t expect:

> Sometimes that’s just how it is. The devops saying “Cattle, not pets” is apt here: code (and by proxy, the products built with that code) is cattle. It does a job for you, and when that job is no longer useful, the code is ready to be retired. If you treat the code like a pet for sentimental reasons, you’re working in direct opposition to the interests of the business.

A lot of code is fun to write. A lot of problems are fun to solve. But a business, especially a startup, needs to stay razor focused. My entire career is effectively to sit in meetings and tell young, passionate engineers not to build things. It’s a bit depressing, but it’s also vital.

A good engineer can solve any problem with clever code. A great engineer knows what problems aren’t really problems and probably an XLS download link updated daily would have been fine.

One argument/scenario for the use of Rust I'm surprised not to see more often is interop with Python.

A ton of code, ML/AI etc goes through Python sooner or later. For example, as I understand it, PyTorch and Tensorflow, for instance, are written in C++, but primarily to be used in Python.

There are very few languages I know of that have compelling interop with Python. C, C++, Rust... Nim? All other major languages have something but as far as I can tell, it is usually some kind of hack/rpc kind of thing.

Clearly doesn't apply to every project, but one key reason why I'm learning Rust is precisely that I care about Python interior, and don't much love C++.

So come on man, let’s be honest here. I got serious sacred masterpiece vibes from this story.

This reminds me of some Hindu parable about people who let go of possessions and head out to become ascetics. So there is this wealthy man and wife and the wife is all upset because her brother keeps insinuating that he’s gonna go ascetic and cut loose. The husband tells her to stop her crying and don’t worry about it, he ain’t going to do it. The wife asks him: ‘but how can you be so sure?’ Because, the husband says, this is how you do it, and then and there he rips open his shirt, tells her “you’re my mother” and heads out to the woods.

Also companies can 100% increase their prices and if a singular company such as Exxon does it then pretty much every company will also increase their prices because their cost of revenue went up.

Show HN: Integer Decompiler – Get the shortest program generating a given number
A project I've been working on every once in a while over the last ~10 years.

Given an integer, this tool shows its shortest "description" - the shortest program that computes it, written in a simple stack-based language. The idea is that short programs generating certain data equal insights about that data. It is not a new idea [0], but I couldn't find any implementations, so I decided to start with the simplest case: programs that output a single positive integer.

This can be useful when doing a computation and getting some "random" large number, like 1047552, as a result. The Integer Decompiler will tell you that 1047552 is not "random": it is 2**20 - 2**10 (more precisely, the shortest program outputting 1047552 does it by computing 2**20 - 2**10). This can allow better understanding of the problem: If the input was N=10, maybe the general formula is (2**(2*N) - 2**N).

There's plenty floating around. Thougn it's definitely debatable depending on how you define productivity.

2: https://clockify.me/productivity-pay-gap

For me at least from family in construction work it's very clear. They made the same hourly wage in the 80's as many workers do now, despite how much more productive construction has gotten.

The second article has a good quote:

> Wages and productivity were not growing at a directly proportional pace, but for some industries, such as high-tech (especially nowadays), wages are proportional to productivity. It all depends on the choice of variables taken into account.

> any contract attempting to gain such ownership is unenforceable

I highly doubt that this is true, at least in the US. Can you cite case law?

You can write a contract granting ownership of all the songs a musician performs, or all the books a writer writes during a specified time period. Why shouldn't the same be true of programmers and code?
I'm curious if such great perf/watt is something that arm architecture is allowing or the same is possible in x86? if that's because of risc instruction set does it mean that riscv could achieve something similar in the future?
Your employment agreement or contract likely has some clause saying you transfer ownership, rights, etc to the organization.

Which likely means your "free time" code you decided to do to make your job easier now belongs to your employer since they asked you to write it (albeit indirectly in this situation).

Will anything come of it for trivial stuff? Probably not, but that doesn't mean it's ok.

Unless you have something in writing saying otherwise, best not to mix stuff like this because one day you might wind up on the wrong side of an army of lawyers.

> Denmark doesn't have a minimum wage and they're doing okay.

It’s more complicated than that, and you know it, or you’re using that fact to further your point somewhat disingenuously. Yes, there in no minimum wage defined by law, but in practice it’s around €20 due to the collective bargaining agreements (read: unions) in most industries.

Thats still low for say Switzerland, anytime, if offer is actually meaningful. Not saying 100 or 500 top notch experts are applying for every single one (but generally those are the numbers), but the competition has always been crazy and you had/have to deliver, have often solid local language skills, relevant schools, solid resume etc to be even considered by agencies. I talk about normal job offers, not top 1-2% of the market

Very much an employer's market since half of the world wants to move here.

Till I landed my first contract (which included additional work for employer on residence permit as new entrant) I applied cca 75x, had few interviews (and landed 2 offers at the same time). This was with 6 years of diverse experience in exactly what I was looking for there, studied on uni exactly this, knew languages.

Second job was much easier, agency and company wanted exactly me, but that was rather unique match.

Compared to Czech republic I moved there from, they were so desperate for seniors that even 10 years after resettling they kept bombarding me almost every day with offers to move back, immediate hires for senior positions and high (locally) salaries.
> at this point the quality of life index abruptly rockets up

That's because on this simulation the government isn't doing any useful work.

The ration tickets work because the people were programed to actually follow the law. It fails every time on the real world because real people aren't.

And the simulation #20 works because the simplistic model actually works. At a first approximation, inflation isn't a problem at all. Things only start to fail after you have competition, corruption, very limited resources, etc.

Simulation #21 is a great visualization of why people must be able to set prices with enough freedom, and why forced price-fixing bankrupts countries.

> Bank transfers also have this "non-repudiation" property in practice as well.

No and that's a nasty, nasty surprise when you find out it's not true. There are plenty of ways for big bank customers to claw back payments made to private individuals, long after you or I would consider the transaction settled. And people get in trouble with their banks when they've spent the money and reversing the charges results in your accounts being overdrawn. The closest thing you have to this power is Visa, which is why the little Robin Hood in my head makes me encourage people to use it whenever they can.
