I agree it's situational (there's also a good argument that e.g. being a pretty mediocre customer-facing guy is an extremely useful learning curve about customer needs for a very early stage technical CEO despite what they don't learn about enterprise sales). The general nature of the advice was part of the objection to the original comment.

If you're really motivated to participate in x you should try, if you're a bootstrapping solopreneur you may have no choice, but if you're looking at mitigating hiring risk, a month trying to code/sell/design outside your comfort zone doesn't really move the needle on figuring out how to evaluate programmers or whether your startup actually needs a sales team. (If anything, you're more likely to get the wrong answers from the DIY approach because maybe the sales function actually would be beneficial if it was carried out by someone who could sell...).

That's where you get more insight in less time from leaning on people in your network who actually are marketers or salespeople or product people to get a view, especially if they're not financially incentivised to propose a particular route.

If you want to mitigate the risk that ICs need structure and resources, you focus your hiring on candidates that have worked without structure and resources. But even having a codebase written by someone learning not to rely on Scrum meetings and JIRA tickets to prioritise is still better than having one written by someone learning to code.

Looks like a cool product with the front-end integration but looking at the license, I can't understand how I'm supposed to use it when you use an Elastic license.

While I understand Elastic's goal of preventing other companies from just rebranding Elasticsearch and selling it as it is, I would probably use Nango as it is and build a front-end layer on top of it for my side projects as I thought this is the main use-case. Can you elaborate more on the license?
Definitely DO NOT work remotely as a junior developer. Achieving the appropriate career progression requires meaningful interactions with your more experienced colleagues, which may be limited in a remote work environment.

That said, here is a small list of things you’ll need to get a job at Google or any of the other Big Tech companies:

• Educational Background: it seems that you’re a student at https://www.dhbw.de/startseite, so you’re good.

• Develop Technical Skills: you’re already familiar with Go (https://github.com/xNaCly?tab=repositories&language=go). Consider getting some knowledge of C++ or Python as they are common at Google. Python will help you a lot during the interviews.

• Build a Strong Portfolio: junior developers usually have much more free time to work on personal projects. I see you already have a GitHub account with a good amount of Go code, so I think you’re on the right track -- https://github.com/xNaCly?tab=repositories

• Gain Practical Experience: consider internships, co-op programs, or contribute to open-source projects, participate in hackathons or coding competitions to demonstrate your problem-solving skills.

• Networking: attend industry events, meetups, and conferences to connect with professionals in the field. Google often looks for candidates through referrals. Join relevant online communities, forums, and social media groups to stay informed about job opportunities and industry trends.

• Prepare for Interviews: LeetCode like a madman! -- https://leetcode.com/problem-list/top-google-questions/

• Apply for Positions: obviously, apply for a job; connect with a recruiter.

I could go on and on with this list, but you’ll discover the other things you’ll need once you have done most of the ones above.

Good luck!

that's just America, and its not just nuclear, it's civil engineering & construction projects of all kind that have ballooned in complexity and cost due to myriad political and regulatory causes. France can build reactors cheaply and easily due to standardized reactor designs; I'm not sure the US has ever replicated a reactor build (ie, every reactor is built in a different & unique way)

Thank you for your compliment.

To clarify, I'm not saying that it's possible to learn to write without writing a great deal. I certainly wouldn't have learned to write well without writing often.

However, I didn't learn to write particularly well until I was out of college and had begun writing for myself. In school I was rarely interested in ensuring that what I was writing was interesting, well-phrased, or enjoyable to read. Those qualities simply weren't prioritized, which is weird, because those are the qualities by which writing is judged in "the real world".

I certainly relied on basic writing practice I received in completion-based classes, but my claim isn't that I didn't learn anything useful in school, it's that the time I did spend in school was poorly allocated and resulted in an underdeveloped product.

"If children started school at six months old and their teachers gave them walking lessons, within a single generation people would come to believe that humans couldn't learn to walk without going to school."
There's an issue open for this: https://github.com/gqrx-sdr/gqrx/issues/1104

My intuition matches yours. It's abundant enough to find its way into alloys for jet engine blades at single digit percentages: https://www.thenakedscientists.com/articles/science-features...

In reality they were out of room at many of their offices pre-COVID, and they hired like crazy during COVID, and had no room for everyone to RTO.

Before I quit you had to book a desk if you wanted to come into the office, hybrid. I pushed to get myself my own assigned desk because I despised the stock monitors, etc.

At that point (fall 2021) hardly anybody was coming in, so it was a ghost town. But they would not have been able to fit everyone in if they'd demanded people come back.
I assume that's for already built solar PV, though it still seems extremely low to me so I'm curious where you are seeing this.

For reference on new build, at the UK government's most recently completed CfD auction (which happened in September), the solar PV bids accepted were at £47/MWh, CPI indexed and specified in 2012 prices: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/contracts-for-dif...
Sometimes, but not necessarily. Even when that's the case (and nobody always gets all the names perfect in the first iteration), you still face the problem of understanding it before you can fix that, so throwing your hands up is not a solution.

Regardless, the rest of my comment stands.

Yes, that's very possible that the mystery registers are scratch registers. But there are lots of other possibilities too.
monetization is of course not going to show up there.

will your agent be programmed to tell you about one fast food vendor over another? will that change over time? will you be told?

Hmm, given the chassis changes, what are the odds the OLED screen can be dropped into existing Decks? It would probably hold back adoption but I'm unlikely to upgrade so soon anyway.
If you have a stable global long-term API key for a global API that you use without regards to your users' tenancy on that platform, then absolutely - just put it in your 12-factor env or other secret storage, and start developing!

But if, for every integrated service, you need to build out a custom URL to receive OAuth tokens after an authorization flow, and a database to securely store them, and a reliable background task to periodically refresh them... then you're doing a ton of work before you can even access a Salesforce or Quickbooks object on behalf of your clients. Having a service that can orchestrate all of this can make it as easy to work with as a stable API key, and then you just need to do the work.
I’m working on a tool that would build assessments for educators in real time as they teach. I could see a device like this being helpful for dictation and content collection (if it plays nicely with others). Transitional, non-glasses AR. Not sold on the potential, but cool tech nonetheless.
The trick is that the drivers that supply bit and #bit are shared by all the registers. At the top of the register file you have 64 drivers for the bit lines and then these signals feed all the cells.
Is that really the point? Is religitating decade-old internet arguments the most interesting way to look at this?
I hear that. I would have said something very similar a few years ago.

But now, I think it’s healthy to have our armour penetrated by the world. To be seen. To be vulnerable. To fail and have it fall apart and be able to weep.

As far as we know, we will die. And so with everyone we know and love. I don’t want impenetrable emotional armor. I want to, sometimes, sob uncontrollably. Feeling our feelings fully is the only path through life that is truly present with the reality of it all. Being impenetrable is too close to being numb.

Linux is great but Linux with desktop is rather buggy. Even GNOME and KDE are rife with bugs (depending on your hardware somewhat). Then there are the quality of life improvements like that window layout system in Windows 11 that beats anything on Linux for ultrawide monitors (KDE has something similar but it’s not quite as seamless/fancy). Overclocking monitors is basically impossible on Linux (all of the “try this” answers on StackExchange and elsewhere don’t work anymore). I guess there are people who don’t care about stuff like that but for people like me, it’s hard to ditch Windows.
People. We can all disagree with Mr. Thiel and call him a scumbag which will make him more extreme and everyone off more poorly, or we try to understand each other in the hope of getting to a better place.

I disagree with many of Thiel‘s viewpoints, but also agree with many of his viewpoints. For example, he beliefs that the government should be smaller and I think that there is certainly a point there. As Taleb also has argued, it’s better to have systems as small as possible so governments should probably be smaller. Look at the effectiveness of small countries like Switzerland for example. Or look at how ineffective academia is.
Thanks.
Yeah, it seems that even on Tier 5 the limit is 100/day, that's not enough for any production app.
I hope they go out of preview mode soon and therefore increase the limits
pocket watches existed at some point, glancing down on your wrist is way less annoying than having something attached to your shirt pocket all day.
What are you running exactly? I haven't been able to get a 144hz + 60hz setup working with KDE on X. The main monitor just doesn't want to do 144hz, even if I disable the other one via xrandr. My 1070 Ti has me afraid of wayland because the nvidia driver already breaks something once a month.
There’s not much lock in with VSCode. I could change in a day, and might when this is mature.
Oh this tool is not for web apps though, just mobile apps distributed to Google Play Store and App Store :)
It seems to be up to the developer, as many anti-cheat support Linux if the developer wants it to.

Elden Ring uses Easy Anticheat which works fine in Proton, but Black Desert also uses EAC and it doesn't. Phantasy Star Online 2 works with Proton-GE and it used GameGuard and now Uncheater.

Here's a crowdsourced list of games with anticheat that do or do not work with Proton:

It's privately owned so does not have the shareholder pressure to keep increasing share holder value.
Selling the unit as a whole almost certainly is a loss for them, but they make money by having people buying games from them. Selling parts like that would be unlikely to have a similar effect, so they might not be able to sell it at a price point that makes sense.
So, "what are workflows?"

You'll notice that the subscription is based on workflows. A workflow is a connection between a source (e.g., your iOS app) and a destination (e.g., a Slack channel). You can set up as many workflows as you'd like, which is a great way to separate different types of notifications. For instance, #ios-deploys-prod receives updates about your production app, #ios-deploys-staging receives updates about your staging builds, and #android-deploys-beta receives updates about the Beta track of your Android builds. Each of these is a separate workflow.

Now you can find all this in the FAQ: https://statused.com/faq#what-are-workflows

Great spotting, thanks once again!
I love the idea of some virtual daemon type AI assistant thingy that helps me with mundane day to day tasks via an intuitive natural language type interface. Sci-fi / cyberpunk authors have been writing about this stuff for decades and it's always seemed like super cool and useful tech to me.

That being said I positively LOATHE the idea of it being some cloud based subscription service, as inevitably, no matter how much the founders of these companies talk about privacy or security, it will become yet another corporate data harvester that spies on you and sells your personal information to the highest bidder, or provides a backdoor for governments or other non-state entities to surveil you. Money talks, and morals walk. Let's not forget Ring gives LEA footage from peoples door cameras just for asking nicely with no way for users to opt-out.

Personally, as much as I want something like this (Though the dorky badge format is a big miss for me) I will never, ever, EVER go for something like this unless I OWN the software and that software runs on hardware I OWN as well. I'm sure a lot of folks will get excited by this thing, but as it stands now it's just bog-standard run of the mill, every day dystopian nightmare fuel for me.

Sure, we could improve society by changing how intellectual property laws work and being far more aggressive about anticompetitive behavior. I'd like that. In the limit, this would mean perfectly correlating monetary value with human value and then we'd live in a world where it really was the case that every unicorn company was providing significant value to society.

But I don't think the presence of these broken systems means that we can conclude that every company that is worth billions is necessarily making the world a better place today. It is evidence in the other direction! Our society does not perfectly align wealth creation with providing value to society.

C. A. R. Hoare. As with most of his work, he gets some things right but goes astray when he overstates the value of his favorite theories. Of the 5 reasons he cites: Management, Testing, Debugging, Over-engineering, and Programming Methodology, nothing he says about management has stood the test of time. What he calls "Over-engineering" is describing ways to avoid complexity, "avoid any kind of sophistication or optimisation in the design of algorithms or data structures". His section on Programming Methodology just lists out the advancements in language design.

To the surprise of no one, his conclusions still push for formal proofs and methods, but laments that a gap of twenty years between theory and practice is the reason why they haven't been adopted widely.

If it's like https://www.merge.dev/ (another "Unified API") then the idea is they provide an abstraction layer to the other API. You build against one generic spec for a given entity ("Person", "Company", "Ticket", etc), hook up to the API, and whatever platform-specific model is squished into that generic model. You end up with only one integration to cover all instances of "CRM systems" or whatnot. Obviously you also have some vendor lock-in, but it is less work than building multiple integrations for each new $product on the market.

I'd rephrase the GP's point slightly: the modern states are mutating right now from a sort of giant "octopus" with a few blunt "tentacles" such as police and the military, into a giant "centipede" with millions of thin and far reaching tentacles. The old state had no capacity or ability to micromanage its subjects, e.g. if someone bought weed with cash, the state couldn't even see it, but the new state will try to micromanage and control everyone, because that's the very nature of the state.
A lesson learned from hard experience and unfortunately too late: get your own illness benefit insurance. If you have it through your employer you can't sue the insurance company since you're not a party to the contract. They don't even need to talk to you, only your employer.
