Well, I was severely depressed and was on sick leave for quite some time, but when I was there I just did my job as best as I can. I am not an inherent asshole. I just get triggered hard when some things don't work out (no initial training, barely any documentation, people being arrogant). I just want to be better than this myself.
A small correction: the sigma summation should go to n-1, not n.

It's weird that LLVM computes n(n-1)/2 in such a convoluted way, namely:

(n-1)(n-2)/2 + n - 1

It's the biggest cost in the distribution chain.

That means there's room for competition.

You aren't going to trust moving 100 million in product strictly to robots for a long time. And that's just a small business. And there's a lot of them.

>why wouldn't the advantage go to a few big players, rather than a ton of small ones?

Because it's still way way cheaper than labor. Maintenance means you're paying for one guy's medical benefits instead of 20 guys, for example. The labor is the cost that's difficult to overcome and gives the bigger players an advantage. When that's stripped away, it's possible to compete against the bigger guys.

Cheaper than existing labor costs, loans can overcome capital entrance, and you can afford to pay on them when there's a smaller operating cost, plus they have some fixed ROI. Existing need for more warehouses, combined, I don't see why we wouldn't see more warehouses. Of course we will.

Look at middle America. Almost every metropolitan in the country is building warehouses in and around their airports. Some indeed are Amazon's and other big suppliers, but the majority are not. They are small storage and shipping outfits. Don't forget who supplies Amazon!

Also, the push for more condensed housing means fewer people per household which means more duplicate junk per person as they won't share with another household, obviously.

Growth means warehousing. There's no way around it. Unless we will manufacture domestically, that demand isn't going anywhere.

I like the fact that there's no comments section, so it's just about the people building projects rather than biased by what random unrelated discussions other people decide to have.

which is how google really screwed up. They had a dedicated user base with google reader, they should have viewed it as simply a user interface on top of google+. i.e. one user interface on google+ would have been the facebook type clone, another could have been google reader.

Instead they killed reader to try and force people into the facebook clone and failed. Google+, for the users who wanted a facebook like experience, would have been much more valuable with google reader users injecting content into it.

If you're working in a team using the Scrum framework, you use story points to estimate effort on your stories, tasks, etc. Some management also takes this into account and does planning, measures your productivity, and even keeps you accountable when something is done. Yet, they need to learn that software estimations are always wrong.
Where do the byte counts for the various games come from? The games came on ROM chips that were, as ROM chip are wont to, sized to powers-of-two. For instance, Super Mario World was shipped on a 512kb ROM - where does 346,330 bytes come from? Are these compressed sizes?

Several of the criticisms the book lists are still true today. File locking is unreliable, deletions are weird, security is either garbage (in that you set it up in a way where there's very little security) or trash (in that you have to set up Kerberos infrastructure to make it work, and no one wants to have to do that).

Perhaps I was a bit hyperbolic about it sucking more nowadays. At least you can use TCP with it and not UDP, and you can configure it so you can actually interrupt file operations when the server unexpectedly goes away and doesn't come back, instead of having to reboot your machine to clear things out. But most of what the book says is still the NFS status quo today, 30 years later.

> I think the article leaves out the main difference in Ruby vs Python. Ruby is built for humans, Python is built for machines. This example used to be illustrated on Ruby on Rail's website.

Oh, cut the crap. Both statements have nothing to do with reality. If we go by your definition, there’s no reason for Ruby, because Python will always be righter tools for the job.
> a growing percentage of people will have no jobs that they are capable of doing

a/ My bet is that some large fraction of people are currently doing jobs that are far less demanding ("robotic") than what they are capable of doing.

b/ Also, in my experience IQ has a far bigger impact on length of training time than it does on the on-the-job performance afterwards.
> I've never known anyone (and none of my friends knows anyone) who has died by intentional homicide. It's simply not something that we worry about.

I do know people who were hit by a car while crossing residential streets.

I don't know any people who were hit by a car while crossing a highway.

This doesn't mean highways are safer to cross on foot than residential streets.

Similarly, the people who are not murder victims in US cities must change their natural behavior in thousands of costly and humiliating ways so as to not become victims, and all that effort still doesn't keep the murder rate lower than the 30-60s that US downtowns have. Do you mind your own business while a teenager walks out of the grocery store without paying? Congratulations, you won't show up in those homicide stats. But it's not merely the stats that were the problem: it's the amount of social disfunction that it indicates and you won't buy your way out of that by any realistic higher salary.

Similarly, I don't personally know anybody who died of lung cancer, but would also not be keen to wear a respirator so that I can safely eat in a restaurant where people smoke.

> There are many US cities that meet that standard.

Oh, I'm sure there are many such _cities_. But that's not the rate of my city, it's the rate of the high density business district I live in. The city itself has a still lower homicide rate, but it's not relevant. I can't find data about the homicide rate of high-density living downtown areas of Seattle, but I doubt it's lower than that of the city itself.

> living within walking distance to work is hard to replicate

Because then you have to make your city block purchase in the immediate vicinity of your employer's office, which will further increase costs since you won't be able to choose among the cheapest high density city blocks.

If anyone has any understanding of chemistry it is indeed astonishing.
Living organisms managed to develop chemistry in very tough conditions.

All is done in environment full of water. Water itself is good solvent for some reactions. However, in many of other reactions it acts as reagent and before chemical process is started the water needs to be removed. Biochemistry laughs at water.
Another thing is the temperature. Considering human (but there are many organisms without internal temperature control, and there is much colder than in our bodies) it is only 37 deg. C. Many chemical reactions are endothermic, they require a lot of energy to pass the activation barrier. In the laboratory we can keep the reaction under the reflux, which means constant boiling for hours or sometimes even days.
Another thing is the pH. Some reactions require to be done in more or less acidic or basic environment. Biochemistry also laughs at pH and all is done in 7.4 (considering human).
And finally, stereochemistry. It is also very important how the molecule is oriented in space. Things like proteins need to fold in specific manner.

If someone looks on the biochemical pathways they are indeed very complex. But it is not without purpose. It is amazing.

Why would anyone give a shit about it being harder to get fired when it comes to salary? In what kind of distorted world do you live in? I will never understand how you guys come up with these stories. Like, why exactly do you need to fire the guy through the hardest way possible, when you could just fire them the normal way? Like, you're complaining that your own culture is holding you back, because you can't live out your power trip fantasy by telling the guy to put his stuff in a box while a security guard is forcing him out of the building in the most obnoxious way. That type of firing in Germany is reserved for people who have committed crimes on the job.

> The conversation should be about what happens to the average worker. That has an average IQ level. That can't learn something to compete with the automation.

There are many tropes to unpack, including that IQ is somehow fixed and people's fate, and that even the "average" person "can't learn something". Also, it of course glorifies and cements the power of the wealthy who think they are smart and very special and deserving of everything.

Also, history has shown that people overwhelmingly that people can learn higher skilled jobs en masse. Just look at universal literacy - did anyone say, 'the average person can't learn to read'.

The US has long believed that anyone can achieve and succeed with hard work. That's been my experience, but that the limit is almost always in opportunity.
They didn't hate Unix because it was open, but their hatred of a more open system does make them look a bit ridiculous: Any system tied to a single company is doomed anyway, either to the company dying or the company discontinuing it and/or turning it into something you can't stomach. (Microsoft lives, but how happy are MS-DOS partisans these days?) It kinda taints their technical points with a whiff of fanboyism, a naïve partisanship and attachment to entities that didn't give a shit about them.

I think your view of our democratic institutions is a bit too rosy. I'm pessimistic that they'd withstand the social upheaval that might occur with a smart-enough AGI. Even now it seems like many people prefer authoritarian rulers -- or at least they think they'd prefer that, as long as the ruler is a part of their political tribe. They'll be in for a painful surprise later, of course.
That's ontologically false isn't it? Ruby is built for humans by humans. Python is built for humans by humans. Given that humans use Python to write code that is then readable by machines, then certainly Python is built for humans.
Couldn't find any description on how you made that, it is a beautiful map. There are things about Tiny World Maps as well, but they do not have a good description on how it's made either. From my own experience on a country scale it was a manual process with dirty hacks then getting the testing to get it right was the worst (mainly the right generalization, and what people expect on their local map).

Do you think it is worht the effort for you to significantly improve this map?

The thing I find offensive is expecting these people to be providing 4.9 level customer service when they’re getting nowhere near commensurate pay.

Imagine if software devs got a star rating for every new commit, rated on how long it took compared to how many points on the ticket (which someone else decides). And if your rating drops too low you stop getting tickets (and stop getting paid). And your salary sucks to begin with.
Why not, though? Advancements in robotics happen all the time. If we end up with a decent AGI in 50 years, I expect the state of robotics to have advanced too, perhaps to the point where it could carry furniture up a stairway to an apartment.

Yes - This book alongside one on AJAX (oh the days of ready state). I still had databases named mismatch_<x> up until about 2014 IIRC!

The book was a perfect example of frictionless starting to code, jumping over hurdles, skipping wholistic education (e.g. all column types/more than select, update, insert in MySQL) for getting something that worked simply and linearly.

And funny examples that stuck in memory (decades later as it turns out..)... like a dating app that matches by opposites between "opposites attract".

Still got anything running based on it?
For years, all my managers were extremely bad to the point where I thought I was the problem. Until I had my first good manager.

My definition is: if my level of stress after a meeting with a manager is lower than before, then it is a good manager.

With bad managers, I carefully select what I share, often downright lie to them just to limit my stress level. I know a bad manager will throw me under the bus to save their ass, so I behave accordingly. I essentially manipulate them as much as I can: it's politics.

With a good manager, I share all I can, reach out when I need their help, and have their back when stuff goes south. It's team work.

I thought Amazon was a public company, not private, and since supply and demand is dead and real price discovery is gone, that unless it becomes a private company it likely will not survive, unless there are enough retail investors to DRS directly register shares in their name so that DTCC (Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation) and Cede & Co do not hold all the assets for retail in street name to then bankrupt and collect all the assets leaving retail investors holding worthless securities, but I don't see that Amazon is private? Maybe I missed something that happened and it's a private company now?

> I found my high school and college biology classes to be a dry litany of jargon and diagrams, sucking the wonder out of the incredible machinery of life.

Indeed, same here. As of myself I always liked the biology but the way it was teached was always far from what could be considered as good.

For example, I remember classes about proteins. There were some mentions about protein structures, from aminoacid sequence to 3-d shape. But it was never explained what the proteins are actually doing and why they need to have different shapes. Why do we need so much of them? I remember that it was very profound experience when I discovered how complex is the molecular machinery and I started to look on the biochemistry from completely different perspective

To be clear, I am not looking into buying an entire city block: I am glad I can afford to live the lifestyle I want without having to. This wouldn't be available in the US, which is why the math didn't work out and I didn't move there given the opportunity. And I get salty when people like GP insist that this implies faulty math skills. I'm glad others who have different preferences can live elsewhere and do their own thing, though, especially if I am separated from them by land and water.

Re murder rates: I can't find data for Seattle, but based on data I could find (San José below, LA) I'd expect the rate to be about 10x higher for downtown high-density areas than for the whole city. Which is pretty bad.
