My experience with Go is quite the opposite. Python may be way slower to run, but it maps to my intent extremely well. In Go, every time you try to find an item in a slice, or convert a slice to a map for faster search, or whatever, one piece of intent turns into a whole paragraph of boilerplate or a completely ad-hoc helper function.

Reading Go feels like legalese.

I would ask ChatGPT on how to automate your job using python. (like whenever you need to do anything more than once) and write scripts for you and then let it explain the script for you. and learn from there. Otherwise I currently do not know a job that teaches you how to code from the start. Was a thing years ago, but this has sadly changed.
That’s simply an oversimplified view of risk, mitigation adequacy, and the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of real-world events.
Good luck to Mirai owners.
I’m surprised by all the anti-landlord talk in this forum. If we “increase in property taxes for home which are not the primary residence”, or prohibit “own[ing] more than one property in which they do not reside”, these are policies that give an advantage to homeownership over renting but do not stimulate new supply. So they may lower house sale prices but only at the expense of raising the rent, exacerbating the problem that the article is about.

If you want the rent to go down, you should make it profitable for investors to build lots of supply of housing, rental or ownership. Lots of non-owner-occupied houses is a good thing if you rent.

The most used client, Element, is somehow worse that the Discord electron client, believe it or not. My experience of joining Matrix channels is through sluggish and clunky UI that makes me want to tear my hair out.

I would reconsider if there was a half-decent TUI client that doesn't have 250ms latency to send a bloody plaintext message on a top-shelf Linux workstation. Is it that hard to make it run as smooth as mIRC did on my old Pentium II?

"X in N lines" is interesting because it's going to show you the minimal implementation of the interesting or central part of the solution without all the other moving parts of a production system, usually for the purpose of demonstrating how something works.

> Over-engineering is an attempt to predict the future, while quality-engineering is maximizing extensibility.

That's not really over-engineering, but rather building incorrect abstractions or building at the wrong abstraction level.

In other words, it becomes over-engineering because a lot of effort is spent on an incorrect abstraction that is not general or flexible enough. That said, if you don't have time for a proper abstraction, then it is better to do as suggested and keep things as simple as possible, however that also has its downsides because it often leads to re-doing the work once you find out about more requirements.

Good abstractions don't require predicting the future, they require "covering" the feature space in such a way that small changes to the "moving parts" will drastically change the behavior of the feature. So it's about creating a solution that is flexible and also powerful, with the trade-off being the transparency of the implementation, which might be difficult for junior engineers and/or managers to understand.

I think when done right, you spend a little more time upfront designing but end up with a resilient, flexible, and powerful solution that can pivot quickly for the customer. Unfortunately, and also understandably, this is not a favorable approach in many companies because it is hard to manage and estimate properly.

Try to think of ways that coding may improve your current job and the day-to-day tasks involved. I strongly feel that when you are motivated by a thing you actually want or need, then it helps make learning go easier.

For example, my brother works in sales/account mgmt, but was able to dip his toes into writing some Python scripts to automate some repetitive tasks.

they don't refuse to build. they fail to match production to demand due to logistical reasons. factory discussed here it's literally solution for production problems that they have.

when i was buying hybrid volvo a few years ago and talked to dealership boss, i was told that volvo got surprised by demand and they simply don't have enough battery packs in order build more.

and things like battery pack for car, it's not something that you can just ramp up capacity from today to tomorrow.

Pretty sure Epic took a big haircut in valuation too, just like its peers. Money is a lot more expensive now, so perhaps Disney got a nice deal.
I agree. I don't think anyone can get a job not knowing anything.

It's best to keep up your energy and learn on your own time and interest.

Pick projects that you're interested in. A website, a small little todo app, a small game. These introduce fundamentals in a setting you enjoy. You'll do a ton of things wrong, know you did them wrong, and the recognition of that provides all the next steps you need.

Five to ten projects later, you'll be ready to start taking some small jobs. Open source tickets. Charity work.

Do this a little bit longer and you'll be set.

It's fundamentally about doing projects you enjoy though. You need to take interest and defend that interest long enough to overcome the stresses and the road bumps.

You can do it!
I'm not fully familiar with Hydra. From my understanding, they forked Citus columnar and improved it. I think the use case for just pg_analytics vs hydra is similar, i.e. fast analytics in Postgres. However, soon they'll diverge as we interoperate it with pg_bm25, our full-text search extension. We see ParadeDB as becoming a modern alternative to Elasticsearch, while Hydra appears to be positioning itself as a Postgres warehouse

In philosophy, we believe in playing into the ecosystem. We use DataFusion to avoid needing to write a vectorized query engine, Arrow to avoid needing to build an in-memory representation, and Parquet to avoid needing to build columnar disk storage. Citus columnar/Hydra appear to be working from first principles directly within Postgres, storing data in Postgres blocks, and writing vectorized execution operator by operator
PR line count is such a silly metric. For example my recent PR +600/-900 lines. What you can deduct from that? Is it complex?

Changes were quite simple. 600 common lines are about rearranging big module into multiple smaller modules. 300 removed lines are technically could be in a separate PR, but it's some cleanup aftermath related to rearrangement.
Given how often there are lawsuits where a large company is on both sides of the aisle, I don't think this that crazy.
The most useful analogy for me is that it is similar to lifting weights. You don't go to the gym and just hold a weight in tension for 60 minutes. You lift for a moment and relax for a moment, over and over and over. In meditation you're not (often) purposely "letting go" the way you do while lifting, but your brain will do that anyway. That's fine. The important thing is you engage again. Each time you detect your attention drifting and you bring it back to your practice is another "rep" of the workout. Hold it for as long as you can, and when you detect it's drifted again (as it will), you've already started another rep!
Though I love Swift, the transition from ObjC has left some warts in parts of Foundation / UIKit, and regular expressions are a great example of that.

If I need to drive longer distances I’m just going to get the ICE car, not an EV and an ICE car. There is no way I will save enough money driving an EV around town to make up the cost of having two vehicles. Not only is there the initial purchase price, but then also registration, insurance, and maintenance. There is also the more intangible cost of adding the complexity of 2 cars to one’s life. Every time there is somewhere to go it becomes a choice, car juggling in the driveway, managing maintenance schedules for both vehicles, etc.

If an EV can’t do it all, it’s a non-starter for a signification portion of the population. They would be much better served, in terms of comfort, convenience, and financially, if they added those two car budgets together and got one ICE car for $15-20k (adding the two car budgets you listed together).

Even charging at home is an issue for many people. A small battery may be easy to charge on 110v, but for those in apartments, condos, or any places that requires them to park in a parking lot or structure, it’s not as easy as using a plug in a garage one might find with a single family home. These living situations also make it harder for people to have multiple cars. The last place I lived required I park in a parking structure; I had to pay $1,200/year up front for a spot in that structure. Having 2 cars would double that cost. And while it did have some EV spots, it wasn’t a place an EV owner could simply park and leave their car for days, especially not with any reliability.
Considering Square Enix's relationship with Epic, Disney's relationship with Square Enix, and now Disney's relationship with Epic, I expect Kingdom Hearts IV to be a tightly coupled collaboration.

This is harder said than done, at least one some situations. The most ideal situation is where you are using a app, tool or a library, you find a bug or missing feature and you "scratch an itch" using your knowledge of the app, tool or library and software development.

Asking a novice to trawl the open internet or github looking for "good first issue" isn't a high probability road to success. Sure some may succeed, but likely most (I'm guessing here, I don't have actual numbers) will succumb to any number of barriers or deterrents that will end up giving them little or even negative benefit.

Here's a video, with a very unfortunate clickbaity title, that gives more info about the issues with suggesting "good first issue" type work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nY_cy8zcO4
You can have conversations across language with Google translate. You take turns speaking into the microphone. It's actually pretty awesome. Obviously you probably aren't going to make best friends or fall in love this way, but you can ask almost any question and understand the answer in many languages without having had spent several years learning the language.
I feel the same way. I was recently evaluating TypeScript and Go for a small project at work, having little experience with either. I went with Go almost entirely because I’d made decent progress in solving the problem by the end of my timeboxed investigation period. After a similar time with TypeScript, all I’d really done was get bogged down trying to work out what tooling I should be using.

Compilation, testing, and automatically formatting TypeScript all have multitudes of options with their own pros and cons. All that stuff is just built into the Go toolchain. Yeah it’s not always perfect but it’s more than good enough and, importantly, it’s ubiquitous. There’s nothing to think about or argue over.

That said, I’ve been wanting to try Deno. My understanding is that it takes a much more Go-like approach to running TypeScript.

In both Linux and Macos source files are usually not executable. So what's the point of this? Applicable only in Windows with ex-FAT/FAT32 (probably, also not a thing in NTFS, but not sure whether needs explicitly forbidding 'execute' flag or how it's called there) which is able to run any file.
You can also get exactly that same VM as a spot instance with a 10GB disk and external ip address in the us-west4 region for $142.04/month. (Spot instance prices vary dramatically from one region to another, but that one is very discounted in us-west4.)

Hard to give advice with so little information regarding both the goals and the availability of resources. But I guess I would first ask if the MVP is even necessary?

I'm not sure that "isn't fair". Its more like exploiting a technicality. But if it helps, I'd be for a provision that forced law enforcement to notify a subject when an attorney is offering to represent them at the time that it happens, and that they have the right to acccept that representation. Though, I wouldn't hold my breath given that he was already Miranda'd.

The cops may be doing something illegal, at which point the interrogation would be inadmissable. But that would validate that the system works. Remember that we are discussing lying and afforded protections against it. His attorney is an afforded protection, and he should have requested one.
The things around us have become plainer
Agreed. I was pressured to meditate throughout childhood / adolescence. I’ve even spent a couple of weeks in a friggin’ ashram. It just doesn’t work for me. That’s fine, I have plenty of other ways to get into flow state, think deeply about things, be aware of my body, etc. It gripes, though, to be told yet again by random internet posters that I’m doing it wrong or ‘just haven’t tried hard enough’. People are different and different things work for different people, but meditation is way up there with lisp in its ability to attract people with sanctimoniously superior attitudes.
Review: Chris Dixon's Read Write Own

I was still messing around with IE6 as late as 2012...the web agency I worked at had clients in huge old school companies who must have had proprietary internal software that depended on it. Whenever we thought we could finally ditch it, we'd get forwarded an email from a higher up at a client company with a subject like "??????" containing a screenshot of our pre-launch environment for a new site looking entirely broken in IE6.

At that point we had this giant wad (like, several files and multiple megabytes?) of JS and CSS of uncertain provenance that we'd conditionally load for IE6 that magically made almost all of the more modern stuff actually just work. I'll never forget the feeling of rage-then-relief when the screenshot situation above happened a matter of hours before a major site launch. I booted my IE6 VM, shrieked at how utterly broken the site was, copied over that ungodly blob of polyfills and dark magic, reloaded the page and everything looked correct. I was working in a coffee shop and may have whooped out loud.
that's exactly the point I am trying to make? it's ok to ask about past professional experiences, it's not ok to ask personal questions about the past.

maybe. i'm fairly certain they artificially restrict the bandwidth for consumers of the feed already, maybe as an incentive to get you to use the app instead. at which point, who's actually using those RSS feeds except for the super opinionated nerds who would legitimately stop using the platform if Youtube were to remove it?

those RSS feeds have been there for _ages_. i don't see their incentive to change it, unless maybe some competitor decides to scrape it and abuse it in some way which materially harms them.
I don't find it okay to bash IE so harshly. Sure it wasn't the best but no one forced people to use it.

> So two hydrogen atoms bonding with an oxygen and forming a water molecule and releasing 'heat' only happens when a conscious observer is around?

The GP's arguments lead to greater weirdness than that. If the laws of science are mere mental phenomena (which I think is what he's saying), then we have no reason to think that things will ever behave in one way rather than another, because our thoughts about things point to nothing beyond our own minds.

If he were right, then reacting hydrogen with oxygen may produce heat and water; alternatively it may produce a chocolate cake with orange candles and a golf ball in the middle. Because the laws of science would exist only in our minds and wouldn't be about reality, we'd have no way of knowing: one prediction would be as rational, or irrational, as the other.

Since reality isn't like this, we know he's wrong, and that the laws of physics exist independently of observers.

I've been wearing lenses since the 90s. These days I wear 1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism for the most part, released in 2006, and they continue to be my overall favorite.

I keep trying newer lens technologies as they come out, but mostly it's been a bust. However I do also like Precision1 for Astigmatism water gradient lenses, which came out in 2021. They are thicker and more stable overall, with slightly higher vision quality, but prone to drying up if I don't blink.

Occasionally for a change I'll wear Acuvue Oasys 1-Day for Astigmatism, which came out in 2017.

All three work well for me but the Acuvue Moist are the ones I tend to reach for the most often. It depends a lot on the individual and the fit, I think.
Oversimplified negativity towards Disney and Epic Games doesn't capture their diverse contributions. A more nuanced view and consideration of both positives and negatives is advisable.
Hi there! There's definitely an overhead to learning a new language but by describing your cloud infrastructure with an actual programming languages you reap the benefits of type-safety, testability, and code reuse, etc.

You're spot on with shifting the complexity to the cloud layer; our thought was that it would free up time for dev teams to focus on other layers of their application.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting your question though, I'm happy to annotate that code snippet with a walk-through.
