You haven’t really said much about your personal situation and in this scenario it’s very important.

- Do you have a family or other dependents?

- How much do you have in savings?

- Could you fall back on e.g. moving in with parents in the very short term if things go horribly wrong?

Entrepreneurship is a wonderful adventure but at a very base level you need to be able to put a roof over your head and eat. As long as you’re able to do that even if your business completely fails, go for it. If you don’t, take the safe option, build up savings, then go on your adventure.

Also, to be blunt: is your idea any good? Do you have domain-specific knowledge you’re able to leverage in your market? I sometimes find people who are putting the idea of entrepreneurship ahead of any specific concept fail because they’re not actually passionate or well positioned, they just want success.

Taking a job also isn’t wasted time. Going back to the criteria above, in my day job over the last few years I’ve identified a few SaaS concepts I know my employer would very gladly pay for, and I imagine others would too. I’m not in the situation to execute on any of it right now so I’m going to stay right where I am, but I hope to pull the trigger sometime in the not too distant future.

They did illegal spying on opposition and press.

That's scary stuff for a government and should be curbed harshly
I got 60% on my first run. I mostly guessed something was AI generated incorrectly, when it was really recorded footage. I guess I was focusing too much on what looked like unnatural artifacting.
You should see the Jones Farm parking lots.
It depends on how they’re loaded into the queue - some are back loaded “fifo” from an employee door, others are “lifo” from the customer side.

FIFO is more likely to keep pushing the bad one to the front, whereas lifo will eventually have the far carts be the bad ones.

But I’ve rarely if ever had a bad cart so maybe this is an issue somewhere else. It is amazing to realize that at about $200-400 a pop, the average Walmart has something like a quarter million dollars worth of carts.
It's strange, I much prefer a substantial amount of padding to my interfaces. Having a good amount of padding lowers the visual noise/clutter and gives everything room to breathe, which may not give a specific practical advantage, but makes me feel less anxious looking at it.
So they started a war for a city they already controlled prior to the war? Thats very interesting
Any modern card games that can be played with five suits?
It depends we sometimes do since quadruple precision with checks tends to be safe, but for the most parts we don’t as most things are basically transactions unless you need to display something.
When you consider the costs of "doing it the right way", the reasoning becomes much more complex no matter how competent people are. In addition to all the corruption, we also culturally tend to be more risk-tolerant when it comes to safety IMO.
At the very top of the page, in the header, it tells you what it is, an Amiga emulator.

The bad guys obtained user passwords from breaches at other sites where some 23andMe users had accounts and had used the same email and password as their 23andMe account. They logged into those 23andMe accounts and obtained data that those accounts had access to.
In defense of the PHP community, things like Symfony attempt to create some sanity when it comes to separation of concerns. Unfortunately, when people talk about PHP they inevitably talk about raw, framework less PHP and act like it's as sensible as something structured and disciplined like Ruby on Rails or ASP.NET MVC.
Lepton: Firefox Theme
I don't give a monkey if it looks like a button or not.

But I have a problem with a lot of the Firefox themes making it very difficult to quickly see which tab is the active one. I generally look for themes where this is obvious.

As i remember from American movies: _You have a right_: to remain silent.
they would buy cars, lattes and pay tax on non-subsidized jobs, too. Why should the latte shop owner have to pay tax to run their business, while the chip mfg doesn't? it just creates two classes of people.

> America as a nation has decided we need to produce semiconductors here for economic and national security purposes

a few decades ago we decided to move manufacturing jobs overseas because paying people who had families and bought "cars and lattes" here was just too expensive. Why reneg on that commitment?
You can apply this logic to choosing a high level language vs writing assembly code.

Yes the pipeline is more complex, there are more tools and more syntax to track, but the benefits are pretty clear (or we'd all be writing UI code in hand written asm)

While leaky abstractions are a huge problem, the thing about abstractions is that, if they are any good, the benefits and improvements to productivity outweigh the negatives. You just have to figure out if the gains PRQL could give you are worth the effort.

I rarely write SQL, so it's not worth it for me. But if PRQL were an actual query engine, not just a translation layer, and some database offered a native PRQL interface, I would immediately switch to it rather than to keep twisting my brain with SQL and it's inane syntax and rules.

(I was a full time DBA in one previous life, so I should be more comfortable with SQL than most.)
Actually their argument was that all other major browsers behaved like that. You can check with chrome, and indeed it behaves like firefox.

For the user hostility, there argument was that people who dislike the new behavior do not have telemetry enabled, and thus they do not deserve to have the features they want. It's quite ironic considering firefox main advantage is their privacy oriented model...
Frankly, looking at the trajectory of UK healthcare and the huge lack of skilled and well-paid staff, I wouldn't be surprised if the government embraces AI already tomorrow and creates favorable laws for the supplying companies around that, just to score a quick win with the public and press...

Something along the lines of:

#1: If an AI creates a diagnosis and the AI-model was audited by a doctor, each diagnosis shall be treated like it was made by a doctor.

#2: If an AI creates a diagnosis, the issuing doctor's office is eligible for 10% of the contractually agreed insurance compensation-fee.
Agree. To me, that IS the AI risk.
How much in savings do you have?

And there is nothing wrong with working on your startup while working a salaried job. I don't know a lot of millionaires or family bank owners so most founders are trying to bootstrap with their savings and salary. And it is longer and hard this way.
Your best course of action depends on a number of variables: your recurring/anticipated expenses, your savings or other access to cash, how speculative your business is, your risk tolerance, family obligations, and so forth.

So in lieu of answering the unanswerable, I want to offer some advice that applies either way: sit in the uncertainty for a few days, if you can, before you try to evaluate your options. You must be feeling pretty anxious right now, and that’s not a place of objectivity. Tolerate the uncertainty for a bit and the facts will be clearer.
It's also a sneaky strategy to deal with features you've decided to remove, because users are that fucking stupid.

1. Instead of just removing the feature, hide the feature and call it unsupported so the users who remember the feature can't complain yet.

2. Then finally remove the feature in the next update, with justification that it was an unsupported option and used by few people, so users can't complain.

Frog boiled. With each update the company seems to be acting rationally on "metrics" and principles, but the decision was set internally before that.
The question was "the longest track per album", so I'd expect one row per album as the result (which is what my query does). But adding a LIMIT would not do that.

It might be that the question was "the longest track across all albums" which indeed would require a LIMIT
idk, when I want productivity I go with nodejs these days. lodash for some quick data crunching and pg or mariadb for db access using promises simply beats native php functions. with express you can spawn a http server in under 10 lines, while with php you need to setup apache/nginx or docker.

at some point in the past PHP was the most productive tool for some quick & dirty coding, but not anymore for me.
All it takes is inventories of carts periodically done, and you’ve created the incentive to never take a cart out of service, because now there is paperwork involved.

If instead you can order a few new carts “when you feel low” there’s nothing preventing someone at the store putting the annoying dead cart into the dumpster.

Never underestimate the friction paperwork causes.
You can supposedly move playlists with tunemymusic, but I haven't done it myself.
Speaking of, this is all missing the bigger issues : Apple should not be allowed to control both the OS and the app store.

Same as Google shouldn't be allowed to control both Google Search and Chrome.

(And due to these and many other issues they should have been banned from operating in the EU years ago.)
We're talking about developer tools here. Editors are aimed at developers. You can expect developers to have reasonably decent hardware. If you are working wit unreal like you say you do, you presumably aren't using a ten year old macbook air to do your work. That would be madness.

Anyway, end users care even less. The paying user variety typically has a newish computer (of the last five years or so). The rest are not a great revenue stream. But of course, if you develop for users stuck on really old crappy laptops, of course you are going to invest your precious time in making sure they get a great experience and make all sorts of compromises to ensure they do. But for the rest of the users, good enough is good enough. You'll see from your revenue/usage statistics what that is.

I find the people that whine the most about this topic are exactly those people you should expect to have decent hardware (i.e. developers). Either way, use things that are useful to you.

Spotify and Slack, Teams, etc. seem to be doing OK with user popularity for example and don't seem to be getting a lot of churn over their application performance. And of course a lot of this stuff is used on mobile as well. I've used both for the last ten years without much issues on modestly sized laptops. 16GB is more than enough for me running stuff like that, vs code, intellij, a bunch of docker things, and a few other bits and bobs.

People using MS Windows seem to get a particularly rough experience. That's why lots of developers prefer mac or linux based machines.
It is ugly, but I can live with it.
Can I take a wild guess that you're using Firefox? I have noticed Firefox performance is much worse than any other browser. I think this is due to issues in the Angular and Material components being used.

As stated in the big red notice in the website, the software is currently in alpha preview. Given time, Bitmagnet will be trying to mitigate the Firefox performance issues (the <5% market share means it's prioritised accordingly), but it's important that users of all browsers can have acceptable experience in the app.
No? It's in the imperative voice, it wouldn't make sense to read "do this" as a description of an antipattern.
> a litmus test for democracy, transparency

Remember the rape acuzations from Sweden ? That's where democracy and transparency died.
I would qualify this by saying yes, put the source code in the book, but only if there is something to learn from reading the code. That used to always be the case, but now there's so much boilerplate required for libraries and frameworks that it's obviously a waste of space to put it there. But if reading and understanding the code is part of the learning process, then yes, it should be inline as part of the experience of reading the book.
You're welcome! Yes, we have KV cache. Being able to implement this efficiently in terms of hardware requirements and compute time is one of the benefits of our deterministic chip architecture (and deterministic system architecture).
Your statement about breaking large queries apart is wrong. You can write queries with CTES to improve readability, and extract CTEs into functions that can be selected as queries get too large and unwieldly. SQL is just as composable as any other language.

The thing that's lacking right now is the tooling for managing/testing/deploying database code. There are solutions out there and the supabase folks have been working to make things better but database first development still has some hurdles in terms of DX.
In php 8.3, there is a new json_validate function! Stuff changes, it just takes a bit of time. Luckily, the core maintainers have been putting out steady releases every year and old versions are being deprecated on a rolling 3 year cycle. It doesn't solve the historical problem, but hopefully it enforces better habits for the ecosystem moving forward.

It’s like pigeon nests - you never see them but they happen.

Usually it’s a cart maintenance company that comes in the middle of the night when the store is closed. Only time I’ve ever seen one is at a 24-hour store.

Both iOS and Android are supported by FreePascal as well as Delphi.
Why do you have a small team when you can build it yourself?

I would advice, given that you have money to spare, to go solo full-time on whatever project you're building because that will let you build at it for a longer period of time. Create an MVP asap and if it fails to generate revenue fast enough, take part time jobs as a contractor to finance your passion project.
I understand the point of these subsidies. I am just doubting (a personal opinion) that they'll actually work and calculating the wealth transfer happening here.
You are absolutely right but missing the point. The CHIPS act is to make domestic foundries for companies where the manufacturing is outside of the United States. It is to make us resistant to supply chain problems and also the possibility of tampering of computer components. Foundry creation is incredibly expensive and to get to the state of the art lithography is hard but global foundries can make chips for things that don't require that. The subsidies should reflect that (Intel / TSMC have had this grant also).

On the other hand they could just not complete what they promised and we would be in a bad position: https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/10/18296793/foxconn-wisconsi...

Others have said about trickle down economics (this can be debated).
Curated Onboarding: A Personal Touch to Community Building
> react doing this very thing and calling it JSX

In PHP, “HTML" is string concatenation; in React, “HTML" is an HTML-flavoured bit of syntax sugar over HTML-generating functions (and you are still welcome to call the functions yourself, if you want your HTML-generation code to avoid looking like HTML). Aside from looking kind-of similar if you squint, I’d say the differences and pros and cons are fairly significant (For example the IMO worst thing about the PHP approach, the ease of shooting yourself in the foot with XSS holes, is a non-issue in JSX).
select id
from tracks
qualify row_number() over partition by (album_id order by milliseconds desc) =1

That should work

Look I’m a diehard SQL just use it guy but open to improvements. But I’m loathe to use abstractions for things when the underlying thing is so expressive.

Autocomplete of fields in a good editor, schema help, etc go a long way to making SQL being written raw very nice.
My main complaint with Spotify's recommendations algorithm is that you cannot provide any clear negative feedback to it anymore.

I played a single Christmas album from an artist that my mom wanted to hear over the holidays, but I don't like that artist or style of music otherwise.

Now, every time they release a new song it comes up in my release radar, and random similar things pollute my discover weekly.

There's no way to say "never recommend this to me" or to remove past listens from my history. I'm just forever doomed, apparently, to get jumpscared with Christian contemporary music anytime I try to play these playlists.

I don't care enough to install non default desktops. You are coming at it from the perspective of trying to find something that really works well for you, and that's fine.

I'm coming at it from the perspective of I really don't care, unless there is some show stopper that forces me to.
The part about how social media was weirdly critical of the picture, with one poster stating that flat wasn't a landslide is fascinating.

Why are some people just knee-jerk 'insert thing here' deniers? What is that?
> You discover that your neural scan, used to treat a terminal illness, has been used without your consent to create AI models.

that takes a little while though, doesn’t it? initially you just think you’re a soon-to-die meat sack deep under water, and with no clue how you got there.

perhaps thinking of this stuff, now, is very much the point. and talking about it. just in case any copies come across it later.
They do. Bandcamp is a thing, and it's pretty much that, minus a fee for the infrastructure.

But it's not a panacea. An old classmate of mine who's a decently successful Jazz artist now (by Jazz artist standard), had scammers upload her album to Bandcamp without her knowledge. They defrauded a lot of money from her actual fans, probably more than she ever made on Spotify.

Show HN: Set up a webhook that emails you in under 30 seconds
A similar trope/plot on "Altered Carbon" (both book and series) where a neural implant allows consciousness to be moved between new bodies (called "sleeves").

Even though the Apple TV's adaptation of "Foundation" goes way out of the books storyline I did enjoy this concept explored on their invention of the Cleons in Dawn, Day, and Dusk.

It's very horrifying in any case.
If you need guard rails to keep you from performing database manipulations in your views you have other problems to worry about. And if anything people are cutting corners on SOC in the M and C part of MVC, not the V part.

Also I don't see how using a loop or conditional in PHP is any different from using one in a templating engine, aside from the overhead of the engine and added annoyance of debugging another language in your project.
Do you think your previous 2 companies failed because you didn't spend enough time/energy on them?

If so, then yes, go for it! Life only happens once, and if you screw up, there will surely be another job you can get at a later point. If not, maybe continue playing it safe until you feel a bit more confident about what went wrong, so in the future you can give it a go full-time.
Wow, talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.
Discerning developers avoid PHP for the reasons you mention, and yet it powers a frightening percentage of the Web.

React is popular for the same reason as PHP. I can only hope the industry corrects for this soon, because I challenge you to find a startup building raw PHP in 2024, yet nearly all of them build with React.
Walgreens has quite a few around here. It’s something they advertise.

Curious at how people are using vectordbs at an enterprise level.

Let's say you have a team of 5 data scientists/developers who are working on a collection of GenAI features/tooling. Does it make sense to have one single vectordb where all documentation is embedded and powers all the apps, or do you make a bunch of niche databases that are tailored to the service?

Also, one of the things i've noticed is that these databases seem less optimized for update operations so when user #1 embeds and saves 100 documents then user #2 does the same, with 10 overlapping - I'd guess that doubling of the similiarity space would exclude new documents. How are people handling that?
> But what has truly 0 failures is to eliminate the rain sensor entirely.

Only if you define "failure" as stops working. If you define it as not working, then it gives you a 100% failure rate.

> Can you expand on Pascal vs Go? What is Go missing?

On the context of classical 1970's Pascal, enumerations instead of the const/iota dance.

On the context of Pascal dialects derived from UCSD Pascal and Object Pascal, by non specific order, exceptions, package naming that isn't tied to source control repos, binary distribution of packages, powerfull generics, metaclasses, GUI RAD tooling, more investments into optimizing compilers (gccgo seems stuck in pre-generics Go).

Personally, I came to peace with Go, still hoping to const/iota dance to come to an end, some day.
No. I said browsers could have implemented the GDPR pop-up. Someone else asserted that they did via do not track headers and I’m giving up trying to convince people that do not track headers are not GDPR compliant.
> The ultimate cost of this landslide is likely to be many multiples of the money saved on mining operations through inadequate construction and/or operation of the leach heap.

Ah, but who are the people who profited from cutting corners, and who are the people who will bear the cost of the cleanup? If these are not the exact same set of people, then it was a net profit to collapse this mine and kill these men. The profiteering will continue apace, because the system incentivizes it.

The article does mention that some people were arrested, but that seems to be for direct negligence, not systematic negligence. If the highest-ranking person who sees consequences from this is merely a single VP, then it sounds like the rest of the executive parasites might be in the clear.
Just glue an envelope with a CD to the backcover, this is what people were doing before your fancy internets became a thing.

Database agnosticism is so 2010. There's very little reason to choose a DB other than postgres, and if you have a reason to choose a specific niche db you're not probably not going to be migrating away from it any time soon.

CTEs are a first step in structuring queries to make them decomposable. You can extract CTEs to functions and mark them stable and it's logically equivalent to the original query.
