Did you actually work seriously with / inside 0MQ?

It's indeed an intuitive library, but it's far, far from perfect, thus why it has been rewritten countless times by Sustrik (crossroads), then by D'Amore (nanomsg).

The state machine in 0MQ is a nightmare of maintenance and a constant source of tricky bugs. The overall "all sockets in one" design makes things such as reconnection and peer identification pretty much impossible.

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good in 0MQ. But calling it a jewel that will be in use for decades is far from reality.
Central Banks have allowed for the creation of tens of trillions of dollars / euro into a bases that were only in the tens of trillions.

That glut of new money took a flight to quality in banks and things like tech companies. Such firms, and all the people that contract with them or are employed by them as downstream from this money thus had a warped cost to capital compared to everyone else.

It wouldn’t make sense to operate a business and not choose the customer who can support a higher price point over the lower one with an identical cost, and with such a large delta, increasing margin as a matter of price increase made fundamentally more sense than investing in cost reductions.

The fact is that Central Banks had the largest role to play here assuming that choosing to make more money over less money by simply raising prices is not inherently evil.

Yup. And work on even a small one-family farm (which all small farmers of all genders would be doing) counts as real work, because the products of that work are sold on the market.

But fast forward on some decades, and housewives working strictly in the home doing domestic labor of rearing and feeding the family and managing the household doesn't count as economic labor because none of the results of that labor are actually being sold on the market. Yes, it's enabling the husband to be more economically productive by not having to worry about that stuff, but that's a second-order effect.

Economies almost never regret putting money on the pockets of the poorest people (TBH, I'm having a hard time justifying that "almost" up there, but there must be an exception somewhere). As a rule, South America has a corruption problem. Not exactly a "government spends too much" one. And Argentina is clearly not an exception to that rule.

At some point, my developer intuition says we'll get something with the core good ideas of Nix, but simplified.

The problem is that implementation of these ideas is fairly hideously complex for the intelligences of most current humans, and that simplifying that complexity requires even MORE intelligence (or more years of more people staring at the problem until the simpler picture becomes clearer).

I took some inspiration from other saas using stripe and aws.
What I mean is literally have an assert with incoming data as the parameter:

> assert(data_buf[4] < 8);

While your protocol might guarantee that data_buf[4] should always be a value less than 8, you don't use assert() to check it because it aborts the program if the check fails. The proper thing to do is a range check that returns an error for a protocol error (malformed data, etc.).

ZeroMQ literally called assert and any bad data coming in over the wire would cause your app to abort. Insane.

I don't know about Terraria, but only speedrunners consider the end dragon to be the final boss of the game. Besides the fact that the game has received regular updates with new content (and harder challenges/bosses) for more than a decade since the dragon was added, it's a block game...

> unless you just want to build stuff at the endgame

That's like saying "unless you want to build things with lego." Building things is the point, it should go without saying. Beating the dragon is what players do in the first day playing on a new map to clear the way for the real gameplay. It's a prerequisite (not finish line) for getting a full set of equipment so you can start building in earnest. Beating the ender dragon is like getting the box of legos open and poured onto the floor.

> We can start our processes with the same process groups and send signals to each other using kill(0, signum). With this, there’s no need for pid exchange, and IPC can be carried out in blissful pids ignorance.

Just make sure your processes don't launch any other processes not written by you: you don't know who else might be sneaky enough to use this method. Compounded by the fact that Linux process groups don't nest, this leads to very "funny" debugging sessions, when signals not supposed to arrive suddenly do or the signals that are supposed to arrive don't.

I wonder who they mean by "we"?
Everytime I set some new bill such as the mortgage, insurance or utility on autopay I add it to the total in my head and consider that amount as already gone each month. Then I just never think about it again. However, I always make sure anything on autopay is the maximum owed amount per month to never accrue any interest.

Then I consider credit payments the same as debit payments. The money is just gone as soon as I pay for an item.
That's exactly it

What's wrong with sockets? They have quite a few advantages for IPC over Unix signals.

- They're scoped within the program (no global signal handler that you need to trampoline out of)

- The number of IPC channels you can create is effectively unbounded (not really true, but much less limiting than signals). If another process or part of the program needs IPC you can just open a new channel without breaking code or invariants relied upon by any other IPC channels.

- Reads/writes can be handled asynchronously without interrupting any thread in the program.

- You can use them across the network (AF_INET), VMs (AF_VSOCK), or restrict locally (AF_UNIX)

- Unix sockets can be used to send file descriptors around, even if they're opened by a child after forking. That includes using Unix sockets to send the file descriptor of other sockets (eg program 1 is talking to program 2 on the same machine and program 2 opens an IPC channel with program 3 and wants to send it back to program 1).

I feel like just because you can use signals for IPC doesn't mean you should.
I always thought that HIP vs. rest of google3 would make a great case study for developer experience/productivity research. Fewer eyes, emergent private style guide variant, etc.

Interactive, Animated Math Explanations
> Where they meet is in the long-term.

But those projects survive long enough to reach long-term only if the CS side managed to control a bit the vision of the business side.

In my experience, the business side in startups tends to be a bit technical (just enough to believe they know) and to dismiss the concerns of the CS side as "this is gold plating" / "this is an artistic performance" / "we are not Google". It results in a shitty codebase that CS people hate.

Then one of two things happen: either the startup is successful (even though the codebase sucks), and the business people will think they were right. Or it isn't, and the business side will write blog posts explaining why the market was not ready. In any case, the business side always wins, the CS side always loses. Or almost always, but you get my point.

So yeah, being on the CS (loser) side tends to suck.

As is frequently the case here, I feel most comments about whether or not to do a PhD are way too absorbed in cynicism and negativity.

Sure, a bad PI can make you miserable, and if you only catch on when you've already invested serious time into research, you might be stuck with that PI until you're done. But, at least from what I've seen at my university, you have a good amount of flexibility during the first years of the program. Plus, after the first semester, our department expects PhD students to do teaching assistant work if not funded by other means, which gives them the chance to work with professors without getting tied down to a PI, making it easier to make a more informed decision.

It's worth emphasizing that if you really love the topic, have confidence in your skills and can tolerate your PI, it can be a very fulfilling albeit stressful experience. My PI is typically well spoken, very demanding and often an asshole but also gives enough freedom and autonomy to grow. The pay is also definitely nowhere near as good as it would be in industry.

But as someone who would consider himself to have been pretty immature and mentally 'weak' (struggling to cope with anything stressful that wasn't an exam or project) when starting the program, I feel I have grown significantly as a person over the past few years in a way that would have likely involved a lot more exploitation and pain in industry (especially given my immigration status, which also tends to encourage exploitation). When I started, I struggled even with basic 'adult' things, yet 4 years in, approaching the end of my program, I am able to operate in the group mostly autonomously, with just occasional progress updates and handling basic decision making - reducing my PI's workload etc.

Additionally, as someone who had always been interested in physics, but pursued an education in computer engineering since that was my stronger skill, a PhD ended up giving me the chance to participate in cutting edge physics research despite my computer specialization.

I may have lost out on some wealth, but I feel I've more than made up for it through the personal growth, the satisfaction of unintentionally fulfilling a childhood dream, the satisfaction of making a measurable and meaningful contribution to science and the significantly expanded immigration opportunities compared to the conventional painful H1B->Green card route for Indians.

I can't speak too much about admissions, as my experience with that was fairly unusual - I transferred in from a Masters at the recommendation of the department chair with most other requirements waived because they remembered my classwork from undergrad and felt a PhD would fit me better. I was also set up with an introduction at a lab to fund me (granted that this did mean I didn't get any flexibility in choosing my PI). But I disagree with the general premise that PhDs are not worth it.
Sure, but justifying such post facto violates the officious intermedler doctrine.
The headline is not supported by the article. The actual truth of the article comes in the middle:

> Borrowers who use autopay pay off between 8% and 17% less of their monthly credit-card balances compared with customers who make manual payments, according to the study... When credit-card customers sign up for autopay, they typically have three options for monthly payments: the required minimum, the statement balance in full or a custom amount. Most people who enroll in autopay choose either the minimum payment or full balance, said Wang.

In other words, if you're already in the financial position to set it to full balance, then you're doing great, and autopay isn't making you worse at anything.

While if you set it to minimum payment, your financial position is obviously not great, and you're paying more in interest. But there's no evidence autopay is the cause here. Your lack of money is the cause.

If you're somewhere in the middle where you can pay more than the minimum but not the full balance, obviously you're not using autopay, because the amount probably changes each month based on what's left over from your other expenses.

The idea that autopay is the cause of not paying your bills is absurd. Causality runs in the other direction -- people who are already among the worst-off and can only afford the minimum, turn on autopay. (As well as those who can afford the full balance, of course.)

You trust no one, and, at the same time, everyone. Determining what you are getting yourself into, based on data, not your imagination of the jobs based upon your undergrad experience, should be your first research project. If you aren't up for doing that research, evaluating the data you gather, and seeing the bias in the data, a research position probably not a good fit.
