For me that's the sweet spot for:

- compiled so easy to deploy

- easy to write compared to Rust, when you don't care about being super reliable

- still keeps things typed and better than in Ruby

- lower memory usage than Ruby/Python (and usually an easy 10x jump in performance)

I'm relying on it a lot with simple lambda automation. If I wanted to write an efficient server, I'd probably use rust though.
Fibonacci recursion is a bad example for DP because it is obvious how to do that. You need to teach a generative recursion, as pointed out by Shriram Krishnamurthi [1]. Once you've got a hang about a generative recursion DP is a space optimization on top of that.

How about Walmart? At least to me, that seems like the true Amazon competitor in the US. Unrivaled physical footprint, strong logistics, and a growing online presence.
Wow, I hadn't realized that Apple uses face scans to develop a custom fit for your face with the Vision Pro. That's actually super neat. So it seems that that's part of the waiting time for trying it out in the store. The next article on that page mentions that folks pre-ordering it also need to scan their face with their iPhone.

I have always found "diagrams as code" tools to be limiting. There will be that scenario where the generated diagram is not what you expected. The flexibility you get by using code is outweighed by these limiting scenarios. I switched to Mermaid.js but ended up switching back to normal diagramming tools because of these limitations.

Nothing unusual, same thing happens every year; some years it's just a day or two where it gets cold enough to be an issue (so that most people don't notice the issue with the pumps because they didn't need gas that day), some years it lasts a week or two.
Bink can handle 4K HDR decoding even without hardware accelerator chips by using regular GPU shaders. That means you don't need to fiddle with any system library and it just works. It's also great for streaming overlays, animated textures, explosion effects because it can render in HDR inside your core engine loop. So if you use deferred shading, you can even stream material properties, e.g. an object becoming more metallic during a texture animation video.

One feature that made me prefer vial for custom macropads is being able to embed the keyboard definitions that via/vial needs within the firmware. A lot more setup and forget rather than having to deal with additional files to be able to change my keymap. Especially when I'm gifting these to friends.

Yes. ES File Explorer is the best. I only resort to these material file explorers when installing any APK as newer Android versions have restricted APK installation from ES File Explorer.

Material UI file explorers have too much wasted screen space and unnecessary slow animations, lack of bottom positioned controls etc. and it makes managing files slow and frustrating.
Pickles in Texan movie theaters has been on the decline the last 20 or so years, in my observation. In the 90s, they were available commonly but the younger generation wasn’t eating them very often. Those were my teen years, and I remember occasionally a peer would get one but it wasn’t what I’d say was super common. Our parents generation and older were more likely to buy one. I actually went to the movies today, and I couldn’t think of when the last time I’ve seen a pickle in a theater. I’m sure they still are but I have seen one being sold or eaten in well over a decade.

Nit: it does have the valve on-boarding game for it, but that doesn’t really change your point.

Also Valve do some steamdeck optimizations for every game via their shared shader cache. Which enables it to run a lot smoother than competing portable x86 systems.

Record producer here. I can confirm that while audio fidelity is an important consideration to us, the gear we use ranges from insanely pricey to utter trash and both are equally valued. Everything is fair game. More often than not the gear that is compelling was specifically designed to impart sonic color and vibe. To distort the audio in a way that is pleasing. A ruler-flat frequency response is rarely what's called for. Most music is far more colored than people realize. Even the recordings that sound "natural".

Fidelity often comes second to simply sounding cool. Sources recorded on $6k microphones will often get overloaded, distorted, and then re-amped through a tin can because the sound is compelling. If it sounds good it is good.

In my experience the place that fidelity is most important is in the monitoring. An accurate listening environment is critical to ensure that the choices we're making will translate to listeners at home. If our listening environment is flawed we will have to fight much harder to realize our intentions.

I see a lot of potential for Unreal Engine simply because of their ecosystem. Game assets will soon dominate the costs of any game. That means a full asset store and a few AI tools will be the deciding factor between "too expensive" and "highly profitable" games.
Thanks, that makes more sense than automatically granting privileges. It definitely seems easy to mix up those two terms, however!
That sounds like an overblown concern to me. Most people won't bother to even sign an online petition for something like this. In the 1960s, the US considered passing a federal law against dognapping. It got more mail than anything having to do with the Vietnam war, for which there was broad and growing opposition at the time[0]. And, again, the thing every single person in this thread is conveniently leaving out: I'm not saying petitions or public support should be a huge factor or a determining factor by themselves. These two things together would likely not make it worthwhile to start a PR campaign.

As far as focusing on more popular areas, where's the evidence that there's necessarily anything wrong with that?

I feel like with keyboards and QMK there is only so much you can do before its probably worth your time to learn some steno instead unless you really need to repeat keys a lot. There is a bit of a learning curve, but its not much harder than messing with all the layers and layouts. The main benefit is that its a lot easier to make a new dictionary that adds more functionality without having to modify the keyboard letters at all.

Basically, you pick a cluster of letters to act as the modifier on one hand, and then a pattern you want to enter for the command on the other hand. For example, all my symbol commands start with ASDR + a pattern from UIOJKL. So like ASDR+UJ, ASDR+UIO ASDR+UJOL etc. If you just look at the shape of the letters that you make when you press them it makes more sense. My movement commands start with QWER or ASDF (for selection) and then (you guesssed it) UIOJKL. So say you happen to install a new Emacs package and want to make chords for all the commands. I make AWD + and then (you guesssed it) UIOJKL. And then, I don't have to type the command again.

You can also type individual letters (and should practice until you can hit 30-40WPM) and don't need to memorize that many words if you don't want to. I actually stopped after like 200 or so because I don't feel the need to.
How would you fix the fundamental problem?

It’s technically possible to force these two companies to implement a shared API, but hard to do, and “Vulkan API Support Act of 2024” sounds a bit weird, IMO.
For some of the "how" explanation - you can configure mirror ports so all traffic going in and out a single port (for instance, the main uplink port) is essentially copied and sent to another port. The secret service could plug their listener device into such a port, and it will gather all packets sent through that device. If you consider the ISP network as "local" it will need to leave the "local" network to access Internet resources. Basically, the secret service could be monitoring the device which represents the "edge" of the network, where traffic from any ISP customer leaves the network of the ISP and all traffic intended for ISP customers touches first.

As others mentioned, this is only gathering data in transit and if the data is encrypted it will not be readable (in theory).

I had very similar flights of fancy as well. Some combination of low-tech, soapbox-derby materials and a wild idea that I could build a raft out of 2x4s and cross the lake! Or make a parachute out of a pillowcase! Or put wings on my bike and fly!

I’d doodle designs and look at piles of junk, imagining what I could do with the materials.

I think the appeal was partly that the proper materials were way out of reach for me, and if my terrible idea failed, it was just made out of everyday stuff anyway.

Hopelessly impractical and (as you say) a bit obsessive.
Experience can be assessed by asking for LinkedIn/website/resume and checking that. This will probably suffice for the 90%.

It's not going to be foolproof. Just because someone has good experience in their background doesn't mean they're good. But neither are interviews foolproof. They can be gamed.

I wouldn't need to prove to companies that the vetting is valid. They can see the results themselves. The platform would die if the bar isn't maintained.

LinkedIn _is_ a free for all. This would also be anon by default and double opt-in for devs.

The point of professional livensure is gaining the leverage to hold yourself hostage.

Boss tells unlicensed employee to do something evil: employee weighs "do the right thing, and need to find a new job" vs "do the evil thing".

Boss tells a licensed employee to do something evil: employee weighs "do the right thing, and (maybe) need to find a new job" vs "do the evil thing, and maybe lose the ability to work in my field".

That's leverage to bring to your boss. "I cannot approve this, because it's evil, and approving this would get any professional stripped of their license". That puts your boss in a hot seat because now the scales are being tipped for him, worried that even if he fired you, he wouldn't be able to find anybody who would rubber stamp the evil thing.

Your feedback is valid but looking at your bio, it's specific to your context.

I think you're way overqualified for most platforms/directories. It makes sense that you're represented by 10x. But between where you are and the early career dev, there are tens of thousands of devs who have good bit of experience and places they've worked at and yet have a hard time finding good work and relevant roles.

It's a myth that every experienced person has a strong network and lands their next gig/job through it. I'd say that only applies to 20% of devs. Most are still found by recruiters or apply cold.

Amazon delivery estimates have been extremely accurate for me, in both Austin, TX and Portland, OR. Both places I was within 20 miles of a distribution center. We moved to Portland in early 2021 and it was a bit rough for like 6 months but it got sorted. They had some issues with their drivers apparently but I forgot about it until just now, since it’s been a non-issue. Lots of the deliveries come in electric rivians direct from Amazon. Occasionally a 3rd party person in their own car will deliver, and occasionally UPS will.
Reliablie is very moot when they simply support only what they care about and don't support the rest for those decades. Not being upstreamed and not using standard kernel interfaces makes it only worse.

So it's not something Valve wanted to deal with. They commented on benefits of working with upstream GPU drivers, so it clearly matters.

Sorry, my comments have been purely in relation to exercise, not with regards to inflammation brought on by food or allergies. The original comment was in relation to exercise.

When you exercise, those muscles breakdown and generate micro tears of which causes inflammation. These inflammatory signals call upon the body to rebuild itself and repair. If you've ever performed any level of exercise, lifted weights etc your body has likely felt sore as a result and your body through its inflammatory response has repaired itself. Do this enough and you will become more tolerant to that level of exercise.

It's now muscles get bigger, it's now muscles become more tolerance of endurance exercise. It's your body adapting through repeated stressors.

An e-commerce website is trivial. That’s why Home Depot, Target and all the other big Amazon competitors have it nailed.

Seriously, I don’t understand how so many major players are so bad at it. Search that doesn’t work (heck, Home Depot can’t consistently get their search bar to display if an ad blocker is running) or can’t find the item you’re searching for even if it’s there. Item displays that are absolutely awful (the item I’m currently looking at and probably want to buy is far below the fold). Delivery that is “FREE” but mysteriously is not free in the cart. The list goes on. Shipping address verification that wants to “correct” your address to something wrong in an infinite loop.

Sometimes I feel like Amazon’s competitive advantage is that its website is so-so in a field where everyone else’s is truly awful.

Working with a founder on publishing an article about this (coming in the next day or two), basically, chat AI is limited in a number of ways. But the founder I'm working with believes it's best as a fuzzy logic api. In his case, he's got an app that runs load tests,and GPT4 is great for finding base URLs in HAR files (ignoring all the analytics and noisy URLs that get captured), then creating synthetic data for the load tests based on the fields on the page (comments, names, dates, etc etc). A lot faster than doing it by hand. And he's done a bunch of stuff on the backend to make the prompts very very narrow so Gpt doesn't go off the rails.

Origin of the name "dynamic programming", from its inventor, Richard Bellman:

"I spent the Fall quarter (of 1950) at RAND. My first task was to find a name for multistage decision processes. An interesting question is, ‘Where did the name, dynamic programming, come from?’

The 1950s were not good years for mathematical research. We had a very interesting gentleman in Washington named Wilson. He was Secretary of Defense, and he actually had a pathological fear and hatred of the word, research. I’m not using the term lightly; I’m using it precisely. His face would suffuse, he would turn red, and he would get violent if people used the term, research, in his presence.

You can imagine how he felt, then, about the term, mathematical. The RAND Corporation was employed by the Air Force, and the Air Force had Wilson as its boss, essentially. Hence, I felt I had to do something to shield Wilson and the Air Force from the fact that I was really doing mathematics inside the RAND Corporation. What title, what name, could I choose?

In the first place I was interested in planning, in decision making, in thinking. But planning, is not a good word for various reasons. I decided therefore to use the word, ‘programming.’ I wanted to get across the idea that this was dynamic, this was multistage, this was time-varying—I thought, let’s kill two birds with one stone. Let’s take a word that has an absolutely precise meaning, namely dynamic, in the classical physical sense. It also has a very interesting property as an adjective, and that is it’s impossible to use the word, dynamic, in a pejorative sense.

Try thinking of some combination that will possibly give it a pejorative meaning. It’s impossible. Thus, I thought dynamic programming was a good name. It was something not even a Congressman could object to. So I used it as an umbrella for my activities”.
