I saw a DBA drop a production database once. In a minor miracle they were at the tail end of moving storage onto a san, so there was a several hour down time and a small data loss but not a large impact.

I have had some whoppers of screw ups... lost 250k of actual money (paid out).

Its never about the mistake. Its about what you do in response to it. OWN IT, step up, be on point for the fix; it might not be easy but your making a statement about what kind of person you are.

The Mark Twain quote "Humor is tragedy plus time" is truth. The sooner after things are back to normal, and new processes are in place embrace the jokes... Its a signal to everyone that things are OK!
PyCharm + DB plugin also has a feature to draw a green rectangle around the query about to run.

How Apple "almost" matched Nokia's phone from 2012 in terms of resolution and provided detail.
Right there with you, very satisfying to listen to - and looked very nice and clean - so I was immediately ready to buy it or at least sign up for notifications so that I'd get reminded when it comes out (if that was to be the case).

Was a big fan of the original back in the C64/Amiga days.
How can CEO pay increase “beyond market rates”?

They get paid what they get paid and that is by definition market rates.

The supply constraint is not due to recruitment companies somehow cornering the CEO market - the very idea is absurd.

It’s because large companies need someone with incredibly deep and broad experience to do a job that has a 50/50 chance of going well, a 100% chance of being blamed when things go wrong, a 1% of getting due credit when it’s due, and a 100% chance of copping flak from legions of armchair critics like you.
> For example, the book describes R^2 as a "pair" of real numbers.

From page 15:

> The one piece of new notation is the exponent on R^2. This means "pairs" of real numbers.

Your interpretation of this quote is uncharitable at best. Using it to make a blanket assertion about the book is just silly, and quite out of the spirit of mathematics.

In particular, page 19 has an example of the kind of things that my book has that other books don't: a discussion of the soft skills of learning math and the cultural acclimation process:

> Though it sometimes makes me cringe to say it, give the author the benefit of the
doubt. When things are ambiguous, pick the option that doesn’t break the math. In this
respect, you have to act as both the tester, the compiler, and the bug fixer when you’re
reading math. The best default assumption is that the author is far smarter than we are,
and if you don’t understand something, it’s likely a user error and not a bug. In the
occasional event that the author is wrong, it’s often a simple mistake or typo, to which
an experienced reader would say, “The author obviously meant ‘foo’ because otherwise
none of this makes sense,” and continue unscathed.

The course you suggested is the sort of "grab bag of topics" course, meant to cram the basics of every topic a CS major might want to know for doing the kind of CS theory research that MIT cares about. If you find math hard, I doubt that will make it much easier, but it could be good to do alongside a book like mine if you find my book too easy.
20 people arrived in town, 5 found housing that they could sustain, 15 did not. Unfortunately, since residents who are renting bid for the same housing as newcomers, they can get pushed out as well (5 residents with housing, 15 new comers, not all the stayers will be existing residents).
The irony is you probably make your living producing intellectual property like proprietary code.
Is the lack inherent to the Wayland protocol and its architecture?
Make drilling cheaper. This would also help with water access. The biggest cost of small geothermal and water projects is always the drilling. Drill rig time is always a limiting factor.
The "excellent evacuation job" is being judged by footage taken from electronic devices. There's obviously at least some utility in these scenarios. The ones on their phones filming what they see outside are probably pretty aware of the situation. If you've crash landed, it would mean nothing that you were distracted on a device. You're not exactly trying to continue watching a movie.

Who benefits of Twitter truly dies? Who has invested directly or indirectly in Twitter? What is the intersection of those two groups and what is their connection with Musk?
Dbeaver has a lot of UI problems; although I haven't decided if that is DBeaver's fault or that providing a DB client is a crushingly hard problem.

I think the parent just meant that there's no popular mindshare backlash against Tesla like against X/Twitter. The perception of Tesla that electric cars are environmentally good is outweighing whatever negative perception of Musk.
I didn’t say otherwise. I’m actually much more proficient in Clojure than I am in JS in part for that reason.

Still, JS has come a long way in the past 10 years, which is impressive. When I need to write JS, I’m glad the days when I needed to use Underscore just to get map, reduce, etc. are long gone.
This looks great. We have a ritual in our company (Vibinex) where we get everyone to fill a self-evaluation form every 6 months with 4 questions:

1. What did you achieve in last 6 months?
2. What did you plan but were not able to achieve (and why)?
3. What do you plan to accomplish in the next 6 months.
4. Any thing else you want us to know.

This is very similar to the brag document you mentioned in terms of utility (and it is part of our performance review process).
Imagine thinking we need to democratize a skill that takes a pencil and some paper to start learning.
Too late to edit, but on the imgur graph - yellow is electric cost, orange is gas cost.
There’s a huge downside to hiring a bad CEO (or a bad realtor, or even a bad plumber), so people want the best.

Also, shareholders should be free to pay whatever they want, the same as homeowners.

If you tried to tell me what rate I should be paying my plumber based on some moral reasoning I’d nod and ignore you, and as a shareholder I likely don’t want your opinion either.
Doesn’t matter if some political enemies discovered it, she still owns the mess she put herself in over all of this. And let’s face it, it’s not like the political enemies she made were all on one side. There was bi-partisan outrage over the hair splitting of genocide answer she gave to congress.

Also bear in mind that Harvard tried to stick by her and even excused her congressional testimony and after investigating the initial plagerism instances. At a certain point the plagiarism instances just became way to numerous (50?) to reasonably explain them away by carelessness.
You could use it for district heating of buildings in winter, but that's about it.

As the article mentions, you need to get above the phase transition between liquid and gas at high pressure (they mention 150c) to be able to reliably and quickly convert the thermal energy into kinetic, then into electrical inductance (gas expansion moving a turbine, moving a dynamo).

Maybe if you went into business making pot roast, you could cook meat low and slow, or set up massive dehydrators.

Running it under a shallow drying bed might make salt extraction from water evaporation faster, too.

Sadly, none of those things tend to be very close to mines.
We have to moderate by effects, not intent. No one can know your intent but effects are observable, they're what matter (because they're what affect the site), and you're responsible for them. (I don't mean you personally, of course; I mean all commenters.) Because of this, the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate. This is also standard HN moderation btw: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I feel like we've drifted a bit, which is largely my fault, but the basic point is that when I look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38841126 - it's not a borderline case. That kind of comment isn't ok here.
Add a “rate this stream” leaderboard gamification feature powered by blockchain and crypto, just to appeal to any holdouts from 2021, and we’re in business.
Every 15 minutes would be excessive. I follow Pomodoro, so that kind of check points my progress. But when I document my daily progress, this rarely comes in handy.

The daily update in the spreadsheet is extremely useful though.
I've always wondered why games didn't implement that but now that I think about it, I can't imagine a neat solution (in 30 seconds)

Imagine a 3rd person action game. A and B split up and have two perspectives. They end up facing in opposite directions, how do you reconcile the camera views?

Maybe you can have some heuristic that only does it if their perspectives are "close enough" but what value does it bring?

For some kind of topdown/isometric type game I could see how that might work.

EDIT: actually read the article after getting curious. All of this is covered, extremely cool article. Don't quite understand ray tracing enough to understanding exactly why it is faster. Is it because rasterisation starts from the camera but ray tracing starts from the light source? so you can amortise more calculations if you start from a light source rather than individual perspectives?
It doesn’t escape notice that the hit piece against Substack mentioned in both links in this comment thread came from the NYT, an organization that slanted news in favor of actual Nazis running up to the war [1] and has recently rehired a pro-Hitler reporter [2].

Having read many thousands of Substack articles, I’ve seen recommended content from a wide swath of the political spectrum from many countries but never anything Nazi related.

Given the history of Platformer, it's likely they are trying to stir up and monetize outrage. It’s also worth pointing out that Casey is currently working for the NYT as host on the Hard Fork podcast. With the on-going collaboration, this attack on Substack seems incredibly disingenuous and hypocritical.

This is maybe not a solution, but how does ChatGPT do on your handwriting if you upload a photo? If that works well then maybe you can use the API?
Yeah. We'd do 3"-6" wells at 450ft for hvac geo and it'd be 10%-30% of the project cost. I don't believe drilling has gotten cheaper in my lifetime.
I do wonder if people over-react to database deletions. I see them from time to time and they're generally not big deals in practice. If the recovery systems get a little bit smarter it is conceivable that running SQL against prod is an acceptable thing.

The real problem is silent or partial corruption. Deleting everything gets detected almost immediately; often minutes after the query is run. Silent data corruption can spread for months and be unrecoverable without thoughtful design. But silent data corruption can come from reviewed code too.
I would recommend the addition of a cheeky ™ after "blazingly fast".
Pulled out at the wrong time, the wellhead kit is probably buggered now. The qld government wasn't sufficiently keen, some say they make too much money from non renewable energy. Maybe times have changed now.
I'd concede that it's rare (though not unheard of) for someone to explicitly say "men who commit suicide deserve it." But that's too narrow a definition. It's incredibly common (including in the comment I was responding to) for someone to say "men have high suicide rates because they don't seek mental healthcare" or "men need to build stronger social circles" or variations. The key point is that it puts the onus on individual men, not on society at large. With other groups, at the very least the framing would be "X group doesn't have as much access to mental health services as other groups." It's the agentic framing of male suicide rates that I'm condemning, because the reigning ideology is that every man is a hyperagent and any misfortune that befalls him is a result of his personal failings.
I think it's challenging to transition slowly. You're close enough to need no split, and then you're far apart and need to split, and the contents of the split are determined by the distance.
The entitlement of AI developers towards the collective labor of millions of artists will never cease to disgust me.

One major caveat is that PWAs don't have all the capabilities of a native app. I think that's the biggest issue people have with this -- if PWAs had full feature parity with native apps, I'd agree Apple's app store monopoly wouldn't be a big deal.

I think there are many reasons why something that people do want might not (yet) exist. For example, a monopolized market where customers don't have many choices. Or like you mentioned, difficulty in competing with incumbent advantage. Or maybe people just don't know what they want (e.g. "faster horses")
This is why I try not to have permissions to prod.

Sure, in some sense as the AWS account owner and tech lead, I’m generally part of the trust chain and could grant them to myself. But there’s only misery available by having them bestowed normally.

I want it to be effort to touch prod, preferably in a way that involves a second person — because it keeps me from being careless. Which I (as a human) often am.

Can’t break what you can’t touch!
> (...) and the biggest problem is that many, if not most, affluent people don't want to solve the problem in the first place for either ideological and/or financial reasons, which in the American plutocracy means this will never happen.

There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding in this discussion, because to me it seems like we're jumping from "this is really simple" to "it can't be done" and back. Which is it -- is it simple, or is it so complex that it's impossible?
The difference between disaster and near miss is whether you started with BEGIN.
Shouldn't gravitational friction from dark matter slow the MCs down enough that they won't escape?
So untrue.
Creation of this kind of a brag document comes under the "retrospective" process - which is one of the core requirements of any culture that maintains capacity to recognise and value great work.

If you think you are able to do that in your company without a prioritised retrospective process, I would be very curious to know how that happens.

(From my experience of working in 10+ organisations, people who think so usually are lying to themselves that they are recognising and valuing great work. They are (without exception, in my experience) running a very political organisation. But I would love to be proved wrong.)
It's more annoying really. Most companies refuse to let you see their website from android or iOS phones because they want you to download the app. The app... that is just a wrapper for their fucking website anyway.

I'm Nik. Greek-South African Laravel dev. Been doing Laravel for most of my career. It's still highly productive for me so I won't mind continuing, but also keeping my horizons open.

I value simple, impactful software that provides solutions instead of pontificating on the best algorithm and why XX thing is bad.

I've worked in team sizes from 5 to 50 and in many business domains, such as e-commerce, automotive auctions, and fintech. I've had some experience as Tech Lead and have mentored junior developers.

Community is important to me. I'm active in a few tech Slack/Discord groups globally and I run the PHP South Africa meetup.
Reminds me of the famous feminist quote:

"Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today’s warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children."

Proving that we can be addicted even without any algorithm explicitly influencing us. Internet is just the best content generator over any offline sources.
It's definitely looking better. I can now hop on board with the others in saying that it's a really nice touch.
HVAC geo scales up. You could do a neighborhood utility and homes can heat/cool for the cost of air circ. You'll wind up with a novelty, an HOA that benefits every home (fees for for power/maint pumps).

A couple of generations ago, we had neighborhood sewage utilities all around here. Neighborhood geo seems less complex than that.
This interview with Fervo CEO Tim Latimer on the Volts podcast was really fascinating:

https://www.volts.wtf/p/enhanced-geothermal-power-is-finally

As a layperson I was certainly impressed by the notion that enhanced geothermal could get us the last x% of firm energy needed for a stable grid once solar+wind+batteries have gone as far as they can go.

Another interesting tidbit is that you can actually use their system to store excess energy from, e.g., wind and solar.
May I ask what were the circumstances that lead them to decide taking your permission to drive away was the right course?
Just use controllers.
Statistically this seems much less of a big deal for the US than for elsewhere.

Total number of fatal snakebites per year, worldwide: 138,000 (article points this out).

Total number of those in the US: 5. (Not 5%; 5 people.)

If you can get to any decent hospital within a few hours after a bite, you'll probably live. If you're one of the unlucky 5 who cannot, then yes this pill might be a good idea.

You need that doctor and put him on the ground. That is often not the case in Europe or the US if the terrain is considered unsafe.

The scene for the national geographic clip starts at 7:30.

The situation is even more drastic for cave rescues, there its not unusual to take days for a doctor to arrive.
> This is such a lazy argument. You can't write out in this moment how to solve this <insert large problem here> therefore it's too complex to solve.

I wasn't arguing that the problem is too complex to solve, and in fact I don't see any evidence that it is.

Instead, I am arguing that the replies in this thread who claim that the problem is "simple", "not rocket science" etc. underestimate the problem's complexity, and challenged them to present a solution if they think it is simple.
Again no argument there. Don’t want to imply the intend of the parent comment but I hear it quite often at work that new people come into projects etc and declare statements backed by virtue of looking at all the facts long after all decisions had been made. I think with projects like GCC any decision should be waited for the long game. In commercial software the pesky labor and maintenance cost also become a factor :(
You'd rather have a locked down connection because you want to control what users do with the content you're selling.
Scale wise, look at a cross section of an apple.

We live above the skin, all the drilling we have ever done at depth has yet to pierce the skin through to the white apple interior.

Any "cooling" we do would be preemptively use the heat within the apple skin that is already slowly radiating outwards .. and the pinpricks, or tens of thousands of pinpricks we might make would not cause "widespread cooling of the apples interior".

See: (actual geoscientists): https://www.ga.gov.au/ausgeonews/ausgeonews201306/geothermal...
Seconded. They should at least specify North Africa. It's a big continent, you won't catch me dead flying from South Africa 12 hours up once a month for only two days.
> Leading to suspicion that it is not "looting" but maybe the old colonial power using the local quasi-independent government to siphon money out of their former properties.

France has many other investment options with much better expected returns, especially once you account for the cost of maintaining a military presence. There is much to criticize about recent French policy in Africa, but charges that the French government is cynically enriching itself by exploiting these countries just don't match observable reality; talking with people who have spent time working there will quickly confirm. Additional evidence comes from China's attempts to enrich itself in Africa, which have mostly failed to produce the desired riches in the expected amounts.
Why Adding More People Makes a Late Software Project Even Later
You don't need any C knowledge to use numpy. In fact, its conceptual similarity with Matlab is possibly the single most important reason for its popularity. Many other problems do need specialized treatments that would indeed require other languages, but numpy is not a good counterexample.
The point is that "cloud" is objectively the wrong name. As is "small".
Beautiful. And I'll use that wobble stick idea, albeit perhaps on a larger scale.
But how does it follow from that that the text and videos can’t be found elsewhere? Because I definitely saw them.

Guys, this study isn't about "ooga booga meat good/bad", it's about taking meat consumption into account when doing medical studies and statistics.
Why would uncompressed bytes be better? Using a good compression algorithm better approximates the statistical entropy of the code which is at least correlated with e.g., Kolmogorov complexity.
> It also means that adding performance to an existing Python program requires dropping into a different language, which is not only complicated, but also requires engineers capable in both Python and C (or similar).

It's actually not that bad. I think it's part of the reason Python became so popular, it's fairly easy to write C code and expose it via python.
Great post: Id be interested to see the difference between different C compilers, and to see what the difference is if the C code is compiled with a C++ compilers, if possible.
A little reminder from the past eh? I had to sigh when I read that. I guess purple somewhat died when the companies started banning accounts left and right for using third party clients for using their services. In a few cases it also seems like those bans started happening, because companies wanted to shut down third party clients to make sure people can't bypass ads, but also unfortunately to keep them from harvesting data.

I kinda have to ask, what features can you enforce in rate limiting in a first party client that you can't enforce in a third party client?
