Those are mostly hybrids, but reportedly, U.S. sales of gas-electric hybrid vehicles surge and electric-vehicle sales cool

Co-founder of Creo here. We realized that providing common features like auth, components, group permissions, and white-labeled deployment adds significant value, especially for those seeking an opinionated solution. While these tasks are relatively straightforward to achieve, they can be time-consuming due to the numerous options available.

Additionally, we do have an AI offering as well, which has the information about the components, check out this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDTk1SmtpXw

Just change. It is amazing how fast an academic field can "burn out", for instance the discovery of the renormalization group in physics and its application ran a lot of its course in just a few years. Similarly if you were a deep learning expert 5 years ago departments were really hiring up and you'd have an easy time continuing in academia, if you start on deep learning today it is possible there are just too many deep learning experts and not enough jobs.

It's different because other presidents didn't then bill the government for the entourage to stay on a per-night basis for each stay.

An added bonus for Trump was that his properties were also accessible to the public, so he got to make extra $$$ from people who wanted to stay close to where the President was. No previous president had that kind of an arrangement.
Tooling is probably what dictates this more than anything. atob() is everywhere.
Retool is a great solution if you like low-code, so I think it mostly depends on what you like.

For us it's 2 reasons:
1. I had trouble with low-code builders when building more complex apps, so I had to fall back to code. In that sense, we aim to be a thin wrapper around code (by making sure you don't write things like authentication, RBAC etc.)

2. We have an AI offering that allows you to create your tool with just a prompt, and iterate on it. It works more often than not because we're heavily opinionated on what components to use and how our app should be setup. The feedback loop is also faster than low-code because you're just iterating with prompts, so there's lesser cognitive effort.

Toronto Public Library Ransomware Attack Pt. 2
Regular reminder his voters are the minority and he’s never won a popular vote.
Note that Munich itself is built for this. You can’t drop a bus line into an existing layout and expect that it’ll magically work. Which is what most mass transit projects in the US seem to be attempting to do. IOW it’s not even _transit itself_ that makes this feasible in Europe. It’s how they build the rest of their spaces.
Most of these could still be covered with IO limited to the project files though.

There is a sizable movement in the Rust ecosystem to move all build-time scripts and procedural macros to (be combined to) WASM. This allows you to write turing-complete performant code to cover all use-cases people can reasonably think of, while also allowing trivially easy sandboxing.

It's not perfect, for example some build scripts download content from the internet, which can be abused for information extraction. And code generation scripts could generate different code depending on where it thinks it's running. But it's a lot better than the unsandboxed code execution that's present in most current build systems, without introducing the constraints of a pure config file.
Until Tesla changes their Model 3 sourcing to be eligible for the $7500 tax credit, I don’t understand who would buy one over the Model Y even with the “highland” improvements.

$499 a year per seat is a bit steep for Indie developers until they’re pulling solid revenue.

I prefer other pricing models where it is free until you hit enough revenue to be able to easily afford it.
There’s incredible competition in this space already - I’d highly recommend outright stating your future pricing plans, instead of a bait-and-switch later.

That's what he's doing, albeit in a more complex situation and likely higher wealth bracket given he sold his last company for $Bs. The only thing that strikes me as odd about it is calling oneself "CEO" of the family office. I don't know what title is customary but CEO seems out of place. If it said he was "Chair" of the Aquila Family Ventures family office or something it would stand out far less.
My hunch is that’s been proven to be a Turing completeness level challenge (ie I think you’d have a tough time even coming up with a way to compute a probability that it’s non-tampered).

I suspect even that heuristically will be exceedingly hard to do for an optimizing compiler since the optimizations it performs are very complex data crunching to detect various invariants that allow for a safe optimization (eg notice how when you debug optimized native code it jumps around between random lines?)

A stochastic approach might give you something but you’d need to actually explore the idea to understand what that is if anything. I’m not aware of anything in that space but I’m also only a casual observer and not that read up on the literature.
> so ignored them and pushed the things upstream anyway

Again, that happened only in Debian testing and Fedora rawhide (and maybe a few other downstreams, though really the exploit requires a particular systemd setup and won't work on arbitrary "linux" systems). Those are rolling release variants deliberately intended to take upstreams rapidly with minimal review, precisely so that integration testing can be done. And it was, and it flagged the issue via at least one symptom.

SEEKING WORK | Sac/SF Bay Area, Cali | Remote OK

I'm taking new clients at an intro rate of $16/hr for 90 days.

Python is the new ecosystem I want to work in, been personally building with it for 2 years but have not used it Pro. Flask/SQLA or Django based web dev would be a good fit, having a history in Clojure and Java with JPA/Hibernate.

I've also delivered NodeJS and Browser Extensions as a freelancer. Got a CS Degree after a few years as a Developer to level up to Engineer, graduated 2011. I have a few pockets of domain knowledge and do well close to product management. Don't need much direction if I know the goals.

The intro rate is partially because I've not used Python much, partially because I haven't freelanced in a decade, and partially because my living situation is poor so I will have more logistical problems than a person who is already established--I need to get there which costs money.

Moreover, identities on the internet are fairly easy for motivated individuals (or moneyed organizations) to fake.

Finally, who's going to build and maintain everything you've proposed?

Companies need to sponsor work done on FOSS. FOSS maintainers need to reject requests that don't benefit the broadest possible audience unless they're receiving a sponsorship to do it. And that's just at a bare minimum. Without aligned incentives, I personally think any attempts at fixing things will be ineffective.

You sort through a hundred neo-nazi and race-baiting posts and then you find news that happened less than thirty seconds ago and won't be on CNN for two hours.

Sometimes you get lucky. But good CTOs are hard to find and typically they will be a combination of busy, expensive, and highly selective.

If you know a person that blindly trusts you to execute on your amazing vision that's also perfect for the job, that's great of course. It does happen. But I've seen plenty of examples of not especially great developers ending up way out of their depth because they got the CTO label stuck on them by some person that was just desperate to get any techie working with them.

Often a big part of the problem is that not only are such founders incapable of doing the work themselves, they are also incapable of being a good judge of the type of people they would need to do that work. Classic A's hire A's and B's hire C's stuff. This stuff should be a giant red flag for both wannabe CTOs and investors.

Experienced founders usually have access to a network and know how to avoid that pitfall. Sometimes raising funding requires you to have a big name CTO. I've seen companies that had CTOs that weren't actually doing much beyond carrying the title just to woo the investors. In an extreme case, I was actually doing the CTOs work (as a freelancer) without ever even meeting the person in question. Just a name on a website. Zero actual involvement. Never saw any evidence of any technical decision making by that CTO. I fired myself from this company later because of the whole scammy nature of that particular company.

A common pattern of startups that survive with a less than ideal CTO is to appoint a VP of engineering and then sideline the founder CTO as soon as convenient. I once knew a guy whose unofficial job title was "minder of the CTO". His job was protecting the rest of the team from the random bullshit, brain farts, and whatnot from this CTO founder and making sure he did no damage. The actual company was being lead technically by a very competent vp of engineering at that point.
Good luck with that.
We don't even know what country is he from.
Probably from China but even if so.
Good luck finding him among 1.5 Billions.

WASM performance and overhead currently make it a poor application for edge serverless scenario for something that is compiled (as it is in many other languages, really, stop adding overhead of yet another runtime undoing decades of optimization work).

"Consumption plan" azure functions as they call it are much more in line with V8 isolates where your function is just an isolated assembly run on a common runtime alongside many other functions. It has limitations and I assume the implementation of this is not open source (I don't know what it runs on exactly as azure functions implementation details never really interested me much).

Happy 50th birthday, or close I guess. I suspected it might be related to age but with so many number accounts nowadays on various platforms it really isn't as strong a personal identifier.

I am that old. I've learned a lot over the years. The most important thing that I have learned is that I'm not alone. I am one of many - unique, like everyone else. In the grand scheme, nothing that I post anywhere is very important. Threads go stale, subject matter becomes obsolete, community knowledge fades as new fads appear, and it's all part of a normal condition. If I completely delete or edit every comment I have ever made under all my former usernames it will only affect a very tiny part of reddit's accumulated content.
Looks neat, but the search is lacking a compensation filter. It's basically useless if it's going positions that won't pay my mortgage with no way of seeing that.

> All in all, we speculate that web apps will never be able to provide all the local-first properties we are looking for, due to the fundamental thin-client nature of the platform. By choosing to build a web app, you are choosing the path of data belonging to you and your company, not to your users.

Why limit mesh topologies to cluster-trees? There are plenty of more efficient ways to route data...

I'd design it having message flooding for peer discovery (no hop limit, but a bandwidth limit - never use more than 0.1% of the total throughput for flooded messages).

Then, once connections are established, pick a few best routes, and send some proportion of data down each. Weight the paths via a cost function that takes into account load of each node, power use/availability of each node, impact of each flow on other flows (prefer getting nodes to transmit who cause least interference to other flows), etc.

Over time, adjust proportions of data down different routes to minimize the cost function.
