I really don’t follow this. It sounds like you are favouring what you are familiar with, and are back-solving a justification.

You’re essentially describing a declarative migration system which on the face of it sounds reasonable. It sounds like you’re dismissing it on this property. After all, the underlying DDL is…declarative, for the initial tables, anyway.

When you create a new migration, Django will tell you which actions it’s written into the migration file, i.e. the actions it thinks need to be taken to get from A to B. I don’t see anything opaque about that?

You can also look at the migration file yourself. It’s entirely readable. You could even write your own if you wanted to.

The Rails community seems to still be carrying a very peculiar compete-with-Django attitude from back in the heyday. I see it all the time here. It’s ridiculous.
Thanks for sharing!!

Love all this AI stuff, would love to play more with it, but sadly I'm on a 2015 iMac, great for everything else I do but can't do this stuff.

It's pricey to get a windows machine + GPU and the cloud options seem a bit more limited and add up quickly too, but it is amazing tech.
I don't think the first iterations of lightning was far better than USB 2. It has some features but overall was about the same. Then USB C came out and apple was left stagnant for more than 10 years with zero innovation.

Also, the new law has nothing against making a better port than C so I think you are mistaken.
The Kelly Criterion [0] tells what strategy to employ if you're given fair odds on an unfair coin.

For example, if a bet can be made where you get 1:1 payout for a coin that's weighted heads with probability 0.8 and tails with probability 0.2, how much should you bet to maximize wins, under a suitable formulation, if you're allowed to play repeatedly. Betting all your wealth at each round nearly guarantees you'll lose everything the more you play, so it's not as straight forward as one might think.

If you decide to bet a fixed amount of your current wealth at every turn, that's the condition that the Kelly criterion tells you to bet:

K = (bp - q) / b

Where p=1-q is the probability of heads and b is the odds of winning (that is, the coin gives b:1 odds).

There's some SO posts about it [1] and I've also made a short blog post, with minimal explanation, which derives it [2].

Note that this has wider applicability than just "how to bet on a horse race you know is fixed". If you believe the stock market is not zero sum and is increasing by a certain amount, how do you bet part of your fortune to maximize your returns? If you have a cohort of people founding startups with a certain failure rate and return, how much of your funds wealth do you invest in these ventures?

The real world is complex but the Kelly criterion gives a starting point to talk about these things.

I heard somewhere that Warren Buffet uses a factor of 0.9 on top of the Kelly criterion calculation to account for increased risk.

No, it isn't if you don't curate meticulously. Perhaps by accident something new could emerge which is worth it to use as input for an advanced model.

But the rule is that new concepts are very hard to produce, although thanks to countless models, stable diffusion is probably the most flexible approach by quite some margin.
Looking at big companies is a bad metric if you're not a big company - or at least a rich one. Startups and in general smaller companies need to be very efficient with their developers, because they can't get many. Big companies have other issues, eg coordinating the work of thousands of developers, and choose their tooling accordingly.

I've always found this an interesting topic — being proficient at large-scale but niche technical topics makes it difficult to move into roles when you need to be a generalist. This is especially true for mid-level engineers, where architectural and strategic decisions, team and stakeholder management, etc. are often done higher in the reporting hierarchy.

I've seen FAANG engineers apply for engineering roles outside of "big tech" over the last two years (owing to the layoffs.) And, at least as it comes to "old economy" clients (like banks, financial services, airlines, etc.), agencies, and consultancies, the skill-gap is huge for the money and seniority that is desired. Likely, this is all true for start-ups.

I believe the skill pathways diverge too quickly — at a certain seniority or specialisation it's very difficult to move laterally between FAANG and non-FAANG organisations. Where as mobility within FAANG or within non-FAANG organisations remains high (job vacancies permitting.)
You're right. More and more pharmaceutical manufacturing is contracted out to CDMOs. So one day big pharma might only do marketing.

Just to make sure I understand your suggestion correctly: you mean you input your earnings and age of retirement and the tool tells you how much you should spend to use up all of your money by the time you are dead?

This is an ideal (if not utopian) vision of software review (though please let's handle style checking automatically already!) It implicitly requires, however, such a thorough examination of the code that diffs would seem to be an irrelevant distraction.

In practice, however, starting from the changes in a system that was previously working well enough is a very effective way of focusing limited human attention on where the problems are likely to be, optimizing for error detection with limited resources over the broader knowledge-dissemination goals espoused in this approach. If we are going to use diffs, then this brings us back around to the topic if the article.

Personally, I find having any form of diff embedded in what I am trying to understand just makes it harder to follow, so I move the diffs onto a secondary screen and use it as a guide and reference to what has been changed. The author of the article seems to want the same, but the mock-up is somewhat misleading, as it only has substitutions and additions. Where something is removed or refactored to another place, the two views will no longer line up as depicted here.

When it comes to things that (big) business doesn't like - e.g. GDPR, tax evasion, antitrust, consumer rights, rule of law - enforcement is somehow always so so difficult. And when it comes to stuff like enforcing copyrights, patents, trade agreements and forced privatizations the enforcement works fine and dandy. GDPR enforcement was designed like it is and it was well known that it will be like this.

My take is that the corruption is not only a national matter, like europhiliacs and the EU's huge PR-propaganda machinery like to explain it. EU was set up as an antidemocratic organization for business interests and seems to remain so. The endless lobbying billions work.
Code style check should be automated. I do not accept discussions on style in PR in my team besides pointing out obvious deviations which should be automated. Discussion on that should be way before making PR.

Architectural changes/discussion should be discussed by developers way before PR on slack or in a call. Most features should not change architecture and team should make effort to align architecture all the time at least before someone makes PR. Unless of course PR is PoC to showcase approach.

I very very rarely use streams but what Sky fails to understand is that I wouldn’t buy their service even if there wasn’t any stream available. It is simply too expensive.

I am talking about Sky Sports here for example. Also in Germany for example. Last I checked, they wanted 30 euros per month and a yearly subscription when I want to see a Bundesliga match every x months. I have a season ticket for my team so I see all matches live and away games sometimes on TV. Even if I were to justify the price (it’s exactly the same price as my season pass), it’s not guaranteed that they show the match, it may be shown by DAZN, who also want 30 euros per month, but at least don’t ask for a year’s commitment. Neither service sells pay per view - I would gladly pay 5 - 10 euros per match seen

Many companies these days appear to be struggling to produce software that is not glitchy and they cannot seem to find people who can write bug-free code (at least not to the same standard as before).

Many of the bugs we see today in software are related to glitches caused by some deep framework, library or engine issue which most developers cannot make sense of and tend to hack around instead of fixing the root issue. When I started my coding career, most bugs were pretty obvious and easy to reproduce; some feature either worked or it didn't work. Nowadays, a lot of the bugs manifest themselves as vulnerabilities, strange flickering, state not being saved correctly or rolling back, app slowing down to a crawl after prolonged use, or weird issues that seem to rarely happen and are difficult to reproduce.

This article is not great. People ship buggy products all the tine. Yes even companies like Apple and Microsoft. Windows Vista at release was a complete disaster. You don't need bizarre, all-encompassing theories to explain it just because you don't know the actual reasons. That is a very bad intellectual trap to fall into.
yeah - the title is kinda clickbaity.

the art of making software that works is truly, LOST.

yeah, paychecks are nice. but damn ... nothing works anymore.

all the big major tech companies with all their leetcode engineers can't make stuff that's simple and works.

> I think it's an example of a company suited for venture capital.

I guess it makes sense from the investment angle. Ie. need to grow, and need to grow fast, therefore need for lots of cash, therefore need for risk takers.

But at the same time not so much so for the angle of is growth realistically possible for this type of company? It took ARM over 30 years to organically grow with ups and downs to what it is today, in an age where the foundry landscape was much less complex wand wild chip design innovations were much more common. (We had SPARC, PowerPC, MIPS, PA-RISC, Alpha AXP, i960, 68k, Itanium, Transmeta in the nineties.)

From what I read, SiFive had broad ambitions and wasn't very focused. Not sure if it is viable, but expecting it to turn $$$ into competitive chip designs in a couple of years was a bit of a stretch.
