> doesn’t seem like the pair of glasses that people are envisioning

Do you have an example of these people, or what they're envisioning? Are they expecting ready player one type glasses in the next 10 years? I think there will be different classes of devices: everyday wearable AR more than XR, and screen replacement/heavy compute XR, with vastly different experiences.

> lots of incremental improvements

As should be expected. This is the only way tech has ever progressed, without exception. The only perceived exceptions involved shifting existing tech into a space that it wasn't present before.

> from v1 to v10 or even v15.

I think it's a little more than that. I think most would agree that it's not usable, in its current state, for a screen replacement, or as a primary computing device. Even Apple suggested so in their announcement, saying something like "short trips". I suspect that V15 will be the primary computing device, for most people. If that ends up being true, that's significant.
Exactly right. The way I see is (made up numbers):

1. People in the world - 10 billion

2. People who want to be successful like Swift - 10 million

3. People who have all necessary ingredients to be successful like Swift - 10K

4. People who will actually reach to that level - 10

Somehow people think that either number 10K does not exist or they can achieve Swift level success because they fulfill the criteria.
Could be paralegals as well, but they are usually just human employees of legal service providers that are not licensed lawyers/law firms. It's jurisdiction specific who can do this besides lawyers. In the UK and Australia (and probably NZ as well) they can be practically be anyone, contract review is not a reserved legal activity like in most US states.
Refactorings and redesings could easily span 1k lines even for small projects. Yes, almost always you could make it incremental, but total lines counts would increase and it requires hard planing beforehand. Too much fuzz.
Starlink just doesn’t have the bandwidth. There was an article about a company renting 25% of a single fiber pair between NYC, DUB and LON and it was 5Tb/s. For 25%! Of one pair! Usually there is 8 or 12 pairs (iirc) in those cables, so that’s 160-240Tb/s for that SINGLE cable! https://www.siliconrepublic.com/comms/aqua-comms-transatlant...
Why do they not use HBM and unified memory like Apple? I assume it's for cost reasons.
I believe everyone who wants dark mode actually wants Dark Reader instead. Also, half of the "dark mode"-enabled sites are more toxic to my eyes than their bright versions. Dark Reader allows to set the desired brightness, contrast, grayscale, etc.

True, but a small target that disables all the electronics on the base would have to be considered "high value."
I've had the exact same thing happen to me on ebay, FYI.

Bought an A7IV for a very good price. Seller sent a bogus tracking number. After it was delivered to not me, I got USPS to confirm it didn't match my address and got a refund from ebay. It was a pain, and I've learned to never buy from sellers without a reasonable history.

It made me very aware to how many times the best price for an item is from an account with no feedback. Ebay doesn't seem to care about these obvious scams.
Why don't you try to write scripts or code to automate your day to day activities as a paralegal? Working on something close to an area of expertise of yours can be a great way to learn and still use your background somehow.

Either create something new or try to use/collaborate something open source. As you get more experience you'll get to learn more about different options such as frontend vs backend.

Once you are done with your second or third personal project I promise you'll have the confidence to apply to an IT job and you'll have a better idea exactly where and doing what.
Yeah, I saw that, and Didn't Look (I'm so proud).

How can that be useful for people who are following the instructions? (Very strange.)
Ally of Apple in what way? Do they give each other favorable deals or work closely together on any important projects? I haven’t heard of anything major along those lines.

I think an appearance of friendliness mainly came from Steve Jobs, and he’s been gone for a long time now.
That brings up a question for me: Are there people with wildly different near and far prescriptions whose vision would be improved by looking at the world through this device which reprojects it at a fixed optical distance such that a single prescription can be used?
Frontend dev seems like a low complexity environment to start in, you'll also get exposure to backend devs and their code.

You could also try some freelance gig work on one of those platforms all over the internet.

It's not easy b/c usually companies don't pay you to learn, you should already know at least a subset of what you're hired to do. But I agree getting paid to learn is nice :)

Oh, also maybe focus on Leetcode. Company's these days don't really test you on your ability to code but rather to solve algorithmic brain teasers. Passing the interview != knowing how to code.
Sounds like horizontal integration.

Apple is trying to maintain its draconian grip over the app store because of the sweet revenue it brings. With worldwide regulatory pressure, that dam will eventually burst. But they'll keep it going as long as they can.

Apple is happy to engage in backroom deals. There's a future where Apple could acquire either or both of these companies.

struggling figuring out how to make my cgo sqlite cross-compile to Windows

Plenty of people trying to fix that.

There's at least:

https://modernc.org/sqlite

Then there's https://github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite that actually builds https://crawshaw.io/sqlite on top of modernc.

And there's mine that has both a low-level and a database/sql driver and which builds and runs everywhere Go does: https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3

Contribute to open source. Alot of projects have a "Good First Issue" tag. This will give you actual work you can show. I have known people who were hired on the basis of their GitHub contributions alone, where the employer said not to worry about sending in a Resume.
In all honesty, at the rate LLM coding ability is increasing I am not sure how many entry level roles will be left for people who don’t have a solid grounding in computer science.

Generally speaking, I believe this is a bad thing as coding careers have historically been open to anybody with the aptitude.

I’m not sure anybody can provide solid advice beyond “don’t give money to a boot camp”.
Breaking in can be tricky - but getting a position as an entry level developer sets you up on the software engineering/coding trajectory.
It doesn't say "only", it said "predominantly" and "more likely".

My concern is more so that this project will burn up real resources and be abandoned.

You’re highlighting how subjective things can be and I don’t disagree.

What isn’t subjective is the generations of the 1900s are the first to leave behind an existential threat driven by wasteful economic choices and they seem to be indifferent to doing so just to have fun.

Myself and lot of other software engineers I have worked with feel our jobs are meaningless; the future won’t care about these technologies. They’re hardly regenerative medicine or something so life changing daily life itself is improved forever like indoor plumbing and electricity.

But we feel captured by nostalgia for this work and form of economics, and apathy for a whole

Of course, it is still both a 404 HTTP response and a proper HTML webpage - so both the user agent and the website have an opportunity to explain the error. If both of them try to be funny, though, that's no good.
Not trying to get you to try again, but I used to feel that way about meditation until someone pointed out the goal was not to be empty and not have thought. When you have a thought you just observe it and make note of it and go back to your breath or experience or body scan. Sometimes you will just have a billion thoughts and you can’t get past that. Other times, and the more you have a practice, this gets easier. Ultimately it’s not about meditation but being mindful as you go about your life, and that’s what you’re ultimately practicing when you are meditating. Good luck!

As a rule messy code a way more easier to cleanup in one big chunk. Teams with CR limit prefer not to touch such nests.
I recently spent multiple months building out something like this blog post describes, for a notion-like app (to replace a different versioning scheme that could do draft pages but not point in time viewing).

We ended up doing it all in typescript, or with some postgraphile shenanigans.

One of the things we missed when requirements gathering was the ability to view a table of records each at their "latest published" version.

I think this can probably be done by including a pair of tztsrange columns in the history table (one for "when was this the latest valid draft?" and one for "when was this the latest valid published version", and do a bunch of date shuffling whenever you publish a version.

We've not actually done this yet, because there are some edge cases around dependency graphs and computed columns, but for a simpler app I reckon it would work just fine.
Grids are pretty good. Maybe they're not always what's absolutely best, but I don't have a better general suggestion. They're a good default starting point.

The main solution to your concerns is to just build narrower streets, IMO. That slows down car traffic.

A good thing about grids, besides the navigability, is that traffic naturally distributes itself across them. There isn't a single arterial road that gets jammed. If Second Street is slow, maybe the cabbie will take Third.

A strict grid does incur a "Manhattan distance" penalty on path lengths. That can be improved by including a few diagonals. Although its streets are a little wide for my taste, Washington DC is a pretty good example of this. It has a grid, superimposed with a network of circles, between which are direct straight-line connections. That gets you pretty close to Euclidean distances. That's not very high on my list of priorities though, TBH.

Separated grades might be worth exploring in some situations. Chicago sort of did this. There is a lower level of streets where deliveries happen, and an upper level of streets with storefronts, where pedestrians spend more time. You could imagine a fully pedestrianized upper level. I don't think you want to overdo the lower level car infrastructure though, because at some point it just turns into parking garages.

One suggestion I do have is to add more "safe places" for pedestrians. Islands are a step in the right direction. But two narrower parallel one way streets in opposite directions with a block in-between (or a park, if closer together) is better still. I'm now picturing the Blvd de Clichy, in Paris.
This is a bad reply that seeks to compare all cops, of which very few are arrest-level criminals as a percentage, to the level of the hardcore criminals that they exist to police.

The answer makes no sense in the context of the statement to which I am replying nor in the context of my reply.

Its a trollish answer that is seeking to argue for the sake of arguing, because we can't allow that law enforcement are are preferrable to criminals. The extremists on this forum are something else.

I didn't asky you for a pedantic debate on parsing criminal value. I won't join you in not seeing it as "us vs them" because you are choosing to blend low level and high level crime into a single category. Yes, the guy who was arrested for drunk-in-public isn't "them". Yes, the person who was arrested for street robbery is "them", and who almost always has a long rap sheet. Your last phrase is indecipherable.

Discord servers are run by those people that really like putting every thing into neat, well-defined little boxes. Their solution to too many channels is to add even more channels, and maybe some inane automation and bot system so the complexity of the real world is contained and perfectly categorised in their kingdom.

Utter lunatics.

Not saying IE6 is good. It's quite comfortable to have the left hand owning the Chrome and the right one blocking other browsers with very specific changes in one of the most popular web sites. Helps power, control, and ads, you know.

The similar thing is happening now [0] (however the reasons are showing ads - but essentially they've always been to show ads!). But this Firefox cow is too precious to kill it entirely: it prevents antimonopoly investigation as "see there are others" on the field of browsers.

> What is "this" here? The example, of a type which clearly doesn't model the concept it syntactically conforms to? The requirement? All of the preceding text ?

Generally, pronouns in the standard are scoped to the paragraph they're in. In this case, I read it as saying that the type (e.g., float) can still model a concept even if the semantic requirements are violated for some particular values. (That is, "this" is "whether the required operation is partial or total".)

To support this reading, we can see from [res.on.requirements]/1 ([0]) that 'modeling' a concept is defined as meeting its associated semantic requirements:

> A sequence Args of template arguments is said to model a concept C if Args satisfies C ([temp.constr.decl]) and meets all semantic requirements (if any) given in the specification of C.

And 'meeting a semantic requirement' is mediated by [structure.requirements]/4, which I read to say that semantic requirements aren't universal rules for all values of a type, but necessary preconditions for values to be valid terms that can be passed into standard-library APIs.

By that logic, even though an operation might not "meet the semantic requirements of [a] concept when operating on NaNs", it doesn't kill the entire type, it just rules out NaNs from being valid terms.

I think the weirdness here is that the set of valid terms of any type is up in flux, to be defined by the ultimate user. But even if the operations don't meet the semantics over that entire set, the compiler has no way to prove that the program is ill-formed until the user actually generates one of the offending values, asserting that it truly is a valid term.

HAHA, apparently my comment is the number 1 result from google to the question: "can a nonprofit hoard cash", and the answer quotes me from this very thread with "Non profits cannot hoard money"

I believe I was likely incorrect and you are correct here @HillRat. The nuance where I was incorrect was if the nonprofit fails to properly pay taxes on unrelated activities - in which case the government can decide that entity is a for-profit entity. This link was helpful for me for that clarification: https://www.findlaw.com/smallbusiness/incorporation-and-lega...

I recall this being an issue for an HOA which wound up collecting more than it needed and there was concern that (A) it would be taxed & (B) nonprofit status would be lost. Paying taxes correctly is very important, but does not speak to a non-profits ability to hoard cash. My earlier comment is incorrect, I apologize for the bad information.
1) and 2) Backups and replication are on the roadmap. It's the next major feature we're working on.

3) We store data in Parquet files, which is a heavily compressed file format for columnar data. This ensures good compression and compatibility with Arrow for in-memory columnar processing. We also hook at the executor level and route queries on deltalake tables to DataFusion query engine, which processes the data in a vectorized fashion for much faster execution

To this day, I still have family that think ulcers are strictly a stress and diet related thing.

I also get a bit of a smirk out of the example you use. Brushing teeth is almost certainly effective at fighting tooth problems. However, I have grown wary of it as a goto example, as I think it has long been assumed as the only thing of note there. It seems far more likely, to me, that diet and genetics play far more of an active role in tooth health. Maybe I've just had bad luck with dentists, but I swear my tooth woes only ever get significantly worse every time I see one. :(

Forrester predicts three possible outcomes for the future of low-code – SD Times
Lightning has had lots of problems, but most of those are fixable through software or gets better and better with adoption (at least in theory).

The reason adoption has been so low is that with current hardware you cannot run a full node in a phone, so you either get a server to run a full node or you trade-off some control/security of your coins

There are still other theoretical problems, mostly things like denial-of-services, but adoption has been what has stagnated it.

The hardware/control tradeoff is a real PITA, we need a phone with like 50x more battery or efficient to be able to run lightning in a completely self-custodial manner

And there are still some people advocating for blocksize increase, which will make the problems of lightning even worse

Release Notes for Safari Technology Preview 188
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this topic and I've come to the conclusion that the best generic advice for folks in your situation is to be under-employed, ie a job where you're not maxed out mentally/emotionally/physically, and save your resources to learn on your own.

Entry-level technical jobs are some of the worst jobs to help you ramp up as a programmer. It's chaotic, demanding, emotionally taxing, and a lot of blind leading the blind. And most importantly, employers expect you to perform "just in time" learning, which is detrimental long-term if you don't yet have strong foundations.

Here's an article I wrote a few years ago about Learning at Work: https://medium.com/launch-school/learning-at-work-c81b6866b0...

Of course, map these thoughts to your specific situation.
