It depends on the nature of the contract. Certainly that is the norm, partly because the IRS tends to like it that way; but I've seen contracts that explicitly paid for dedicated managers, included IT costs and office space, and even ones that covered liability (usually when your a subcontractor and the contractor with the MSA requires liability insurance so they can sue you if things go sideways).

New York is 1990s Indiana with NYC attached. Industrial powerhouses like Syracuse, Buffalo, etc are rust belt territory now.

With the export of American industry and the consolidation of all things agriculture, the solvency of the entirety of the state budget is almost entirely dependent it just on financial services, but specifically on income tax on Wall St bonuses. No sane governor would sign that bill.

The death spiral of agriculture in particular is incredible. Through incredibly incompetent policy decisions, entire regions of rural America are country ghettos, with our food supply dependent on a depleted aquifer in the Midwest and the fickle Colorado River.
It's sort of a wonder that this screenplay has not yet been a major hollywood production. I mean, sure, anything QAnon is terribly uncool for us informed types /s but its hard to believe that this would not be a major success if done with high production values and non-cheesy script.

Something vaguely related to next year's A24 release "Civil War", but much more QAnon-adjacent and informed. Even better if Q would denounce it all as an attempt to "innoculate people from the truth".
Agree with everything you've said about Powershell. It's pretty cool.

Buuut...the common Basic computers of the time had commands that let you do built-in graphics in a very simple manner. Not anything as crazy complex as the .NET charting and GUI stuff available to Powershell now. It's a real shame there isn't a built-in DSL that could allow normal users (i.e. not full time developers) to build some really simple games in like half a page of code.
I went to a week-long Probabilistic AI seminar, and I got the impression there was an era when enough stats and math professors did not take a Bayesian framework seriously, that there was a risk someone's thesis or dissertation defense would be derailed by someone on faculty.
It was a smaller (from 90s) v6 or even v8 gas car. The point is to manufacture a car, a tremendous amount of energy is used in everything, from breaking up rock, extracting the iron ore, smelting to make steel, to machining, to etc...

The CO2 emitted by the car during it use,( and you are correct, only ocassional few weekends use) is a rounding error.

The companies I worked for did it by:

- Having better than average engineers. Not "10x", just better than average.

- Having a project manager required for nearly all projects. The customer was billed for this and it was worth it. The PM managed a Gantt chart and periodically chatted with the engineers to keep the schedule accurate and the project on track. No daily standups. No agile.

- Unless the project was for staff augmentation, the project had a clear set of goals and success criteria was defined up front. Feature creep was strongly discouraged.

Is this a business model that will scale to billions of dollars? Most likely not. But it can be a good business that provides you with enjoyable work. Consulting companies are the first to be fired in a downturn, but they're the first to be hired when things get going again because companies are short-staffed and need to react quickly.

The article directly addresses this: “A lot of tech innovation still happens in places like the Bay Area—witness the highly concentrated boom of new artificial-intelligence companies there. But as the tech industry as a whole has matured, it is following the pattern of every previous industrial revolution: knowledge, capital and talent is spreading out, across America and the world.”

that's not why they had to get up. It's because they were hitting the EPO so hard, their hematocrits would be like over 60% (60% red blood cells/mL of blood) and thus when their heart rate/cardiac output would drop during sleep (to very low levels typically of highly trained athletes...not because of the EPO) the blood would be too viscous and start to clot

so the low heart rates caused a problem for those abusing EPO, but wasn't a result of using EPO

That's just execs tossing out big numbers about a market they don't understand. They do that all the time. Like babies, they cannot help but fill diapers. That doesn't mean we need to discuss it at the water cooler.

Do they have hardware? Is it available? How many nines? Do they have a useful software stack? Does it give developers meaningful leverage to solve problems? The most incredible thing about quantum hype is that ordinarily detail-focused engineer types are getting snowed and buying it because the punchline is too good to be true. But sometimes, these companies make testable claims: if we'd only talk about the externally verifiable ones, and leave the vapor out of it, I think it would make for a much more interesting conversation.

Definitely not the norm at the places I've worked. I would even bill for some downtime if the customer was blocking me from getting work done and the contract expected me to work full-time as it was preventing me from taking on other work.

No complaints in over 15 years. Just be good. Keep your customer happy and get stuff done on time and on budget and these sort of things just work themselves out. Much of it relies on setting clear expectations and goals up front.
Skepticism of digital computing was a pretty open-air phenomena too.

Related: "Quantum computing worst case scenario: we are Lovelace and Babbage" [1]

For scale: Babbage's planned analytical engine had a word size of 50 digits, a clock rate of 7Hz, and a physical size of roughly a locomotive [2]. Contrast [3] where it's estimated that 600-digit superposed additions would run at 27Hz (by dedicating millions of qubits to magic state distillation of the underlying AND gates). Given current plans, a quantum computer capable of doing arithmetic operations as wide and as fast as the analytical engine would probably be larger than the analytical engine.

We can see how to do reliable quantum computation in principle. The overhead of error correction makes it daunting in scale. It sure would be nice if someone came along and invented the quantum computing equivalent of a vacuum tube or a transistor.

There are applications of the Johnson solids to characterizing patterns that occur in nature at the nanoscale. You wouldn't be able to see them with the naked eye, but they are very clearly there!

For example, we observed nested J27 "shells" in the structure of the Au_146(p-MBA)_57 nanoparticle [1]. In particular, take a look at the attached .mpg video to get a clear picture of the "shells" inside this particular nanoparticle [2]. We observed three nested (two complete, one outer incomplete, corrupted by the surface protectant p-MBA) J-27 shells.

Nanoparticles like this exhibit interesting surface plasmonic effects. For smaller particles, a long standing theory was that they behave as "super-atoms", with gold atoms taking the place of neutrons and protons, and metals in the protectant shell taking the place of electrons.

While I don't subscribe to that theory, this particle in particular occupies a sort of partial transition point between the regime in which it was previously hypothesized and the regime of bulk gold where it clearly does not hold.

Disclaimer: I am a first author on this paper and produced this visualization, as well as many of the figures shown in the paper. I think the video in particular is quite neat :).

There are some modern versions of basic (e.g. Purebasic and Powerbasic) that seem extremely nice. Also, there is Xojo, which is a fully OO Basic that natively cross compiles to Mac/Windows/Linux/Android/iOS/Raspberry pi. Xojo also has a full RAD tool that abstracts away a lot of stuff. Pretty easy to build games on it too. It's commercial though.
That's pretty much what I'm thinking too. And you don't even need to submit a copy, but rather just a cryptographic hash of your file.

But there's still the issue of proving that you haven't manipulated it before handing it in, and here I can't seem to think of anything better than the recording and hash submission being done by a DRM'd tool out of the individual's full control.
Maybe use a hash for consistency?

Then I handle it all on the backend, you just need to make sure you are bidding enough time to get it all done. The client doesn't usually want more granularity, then they feel obliged to review it. Just get the work done, charge them what you agreed to charge them, and be jovial as you do it.

I live in a European country, and while non-competes are legal, if a company chooses to exercise them, they are also forced to continue to pay you for the duration, and you can still take a non-competing job in the mean time.

Toyota CEO: This New Engine Will Destroy the Entire EV Industry
For me BASIC led to VB which led to VB.Net which quickly led me to C#.

I did some real fun stuff in BASIC as a kid that I never replicated in later languages. In kindergarten or first grade, I picked up a book called something like "Make Your Own Computer Games" at my local library. Everything was GOTOs and LABELS. The librarian didn't want to let me check it out because it was beyond my understanding, but my grandma insisted. That night and for the following 2 days, on my Dad's work computer, I would type and retype these computer games into GWBASIC in MSDOS, and then type run at the end. There was no way to actually save the .BAS files, so any time I wanted to play one of these games, I had to type it. So I memorized them before I had to turn the book back in.

I then started to combine games together. Like "Guess the Number" and "Hangman" which actually taught me more about programming than anything I learned later in life from education.

> somehow GOTOs and line numbers would turn you into a bad programmer for life

I think the opposite. It's super simple to understand as a beginner and is a low barrier to entry. The key is likely aligning when to introduce someone to a more structured language with when the are hitting the limits of GOTO - like just have finished writing an awkward large program that could be significantly simpler, spent hours debugging a problem caused by lack of scoped variables, or are trying to modify something they wrote a few months ago that has dozens of GOTOs. These are the things where ideally the light goes on and people "get it".

On the last point, I think that is really what makes people great. Go back and try to work on code you haven't looked at it even thought about in 6+ months. If you've only been coding a couple years, you'll gain a ton of insights into what (not) to do to write maintainable software, in the same way students learn why we don't use GOTO.

Thanks for the pointer!

The WASM payload itself appears to be obfuscated. The player seems to deobfuscate it at runtime, dynamically load it as a WASM module, execute it and then destroy it again. I'm having a hard time pinpointing the exact moment where the WASM is being loaded (because the JS that performs all those things is horribly obfuscated, too.)

The disassembled view in the dev tools might come in handy to tackle this.
My goal is to obtain their secret HMAC key so I can change "Linux" into whatever the server prefers to hear, and re-sign the HMAC for that manipulated HTTP request before the player sends it.

(All that effort so I finally get to watch my Bundesliga streams again, for which I'm paying them 30 EUR a month.)
This looks great!

Please consider removing any implicit network calls like the initial "Checking GitHub for updates...". This itself will prevent people from adoption or even trying it any further. This is similar to gnu parallel's --citation, which, albeit a small thing - will scare many people off.

Consider adding pivot and unpivot operations. Mlr gets it quite right with syntax, but is unusable since it doesn't work in streaming mode and tries to load everything into memory, despite claiming otherwise.

Consider adding basic summing command. Sum is the most common data operation, which could warrant its own special optimized command, instead offloading this to external math processor like lua or python. Even better if this had a group by (-by) and window by (-over) capability. Eg. 'qsv sum col1,col2 -by col3,col4'. Brimdata's zq utility is the only one I know that does this quite right, but is quite clunky to use.

Consider adding a laminate command. Essentially adding a new column with a constant. This probably could be achieved by a join with a file with a single row, but why not make this common operation easier to use.

Consider the option to concatenate csv files with mismatched headers. cat rows or cat columns complains about the mismatch. One of the most common problems with handling csvs is schema evolution. I and many others would appreciate if we could merge similar csvs together easily.

Conversions to and from other standard formats would be appreciated (parquet, ion, fixed width lenghts, avro, etc.). Othe compression formats as well - especially zstd.

It would be nice if the tool enabled embedding outputs of external commands easily. Lua and python builtin support is nice, but probably not sufficient. i'd like to be able to run a jq command on a single column and merge it back as another for example.
