Delaying critical decisions in a project is crucial to making good decisions. They'll be made both by someone more informed (after learning all the complicated corner cases of the problem domain) and by a better developer (perhaps a future version of yourself).

Therefore, my advice is to pretend you're a junior developer and do things the most naive way possible. Allow things to stink, to repeat code and to support just what's needed, as if this was the absolute final complete state of the application. This may lead to eventual refactors and this is healthy as the focus will be on correcting existing problems instead of foreseen ones.

This is when you allow your senior knowledge and experience to do what's necessary to return to a state that's comfortable for a junior. It's counterintuitive, but at the scale of a large codebase, the occasional refactors ouweights the time wasted doing preventing design at ever layer. I actually have a similar stance about defensive programming and testing.

Since this might not be enough to appease your brain, keep in mind that abstractions are generalizations trying to encompass some common 80%+ of cases, but they're usually never perfect and leave behind edge cases with additional complexity. Unfortunately, composing abstractions is multiplicative. 80%*80%=64%. Do it enough and your whole application becomes unsupported edge cases, constrainted to fit within interfaces, functions and types not able to adequetly give you the results you want and, so, you go crazy down the rabbit hole, trying to desperately break it down into even more suitable abstractions, like that's going to help.
I don't get this speculation.

Lots of comments saying "it was still a firing", which makes no sense to me. Firing is not normally used to include situations where the outcome is totally under control of the person who is "fired".

And you say "Paul is clever like that", which just comes off as ridiculous shade to me. Paul may be clever, but he outlined some factual info that, if not true, would just be outright lying, which I don't think he would do. He fundamentally said the decision was always Altman's to make.

Also, I hate how this has become yet another case of using semantics disingenuously. Say what you will about the true meaning of "firing", but nearly everyone would interpret that as Altman got canned and YC didn't want him back. That's not what happened apparently. So all the people saying "it's still a firing" feels like the "I'm not touching you" game that 5-year-old siblings play.
To me, the biggest thing here is that pg seems to be vouching for Sam, so this seems like an important rebuttal to Toner's attacks against Sam's character.
Encountered the same problem last year. My tech stack was React Native as I was mostly building stuff that has few interactions and it was easy to get something good on both platforms. Then, I got a notice from Google about API version. Updating the project was such a nightmare due to compatibility issue. Some libraries were abandoned. Some had breaking changes. It was easier to write the two native versions than to deal with npm mess.
Another very happy PC Engines user here, I've been running pfsense and more lately opnsense on one for over 10 years now. It has never missed a beat.

Biden secretly gave Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia with U.S. weapons
Yeah those articles are bogus, they are just guessing at operating expenses and also exclude cap-ex, which is a big miss when we don't know satellite lifetimes.
IME: because the people who are ok with abandoning things are gone, and people who are not ok with abandoning things are stuck there due to some kind of fucked-upness (in the grandparent, lack of quorum) that makes it impossible to 'properly' depart until they just can't do it any more. I chaired an organization for four years (in a planned term of two years) and had nobody interested in being my successor. Finally I said "I can't be involved in this any more" and basically disappeared on them.
Basically, you want both lanes to effectively spread out to where those in one could be placed in the other without overlapping vehicles.

The goal is to have both lanes move slowly, but constantly. To basically have a "1 and 1" progression through the chokepoint: 1 from the left, 1 from the right.

It is a rough balance because you have those who don't want to let others merge at all. And there are those who want to merge at all costs. Both of which violate the "1 and 1" guideline which gives everyone at least the illusion of progress.

> In that context, I think the analogy to shoplifting is pretty fair.

I don't.

A fair analogy would be that just because a credit union had free donuts and coffee for the first six months it operated, doesn't oblige them to still offer that twenty years later.

Shoplifting is criminal behavior which someone might get away with, when YouTube was (briefly) giving out product without ads, gratis. Nor is it illegal to block ads, nor should it be illegal. Do I agree that it's weird to expect YouTube to still be ad-free just because it briefly was? Yeah, sure.

A fellow book club host here! I too have run two book clubs over Jitsi and IRC. The first one was for Introduction to Analytic Number Theory (Apostol, 1976) and the second one was for Mastering Emacs (Petersen, 2022).

Here are the meeting logs and some statistics: https://susam.net/cc/log.html

Here are some posts and content pertaining to these book clubs: https://susam.net/tag/meetup.html

Quite similar to the original post (OP), we also had about 5-8 regular participants in our meetups. However, ours were virtual rather than in-person. Given that the author of the OP mentions 5-8 consistent attendees at in-person meetups, it's quite impressive!

A company that buys back all of its stock is treated as liquidating.

Nor is it possible in the West for two companies to own 100% of each other's shares (i.e., circular ownership). In most of the West, a subsidiary acquiring its parent's stock is treated as a redemption of those shares (i.e., as if those shares were returned to the parent), assuming the transaction is even allowed.
Indeed - the acronym comes from The Pragmatic Programmer, and the author defined it in this way. Every blog post I've read criticizing/cautioning against DRY were not doing DRY as originally defined.

DRY is almost always a good thing to do. Coupling superficially similar code is definitely not a good thing to do.
There's a close tie between card and coin magic and techniques of gambling cheating.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Scarne

There are numerous techniques to throw dice with controlled rotation so you can be sure that one side will wind up on top or that a particular axis stays horizontal so you know two sides will never come up. This is why playing craps you have to bounce the dice off a wall. It is possible sometime to throw non-spinning dice right into the corner of the wall and the floor but if you succeed at that you will never play craps with those people.

I think your problem is really close to that problem, I don't think there's anything wrong with card mechanics and such, it's using it to cheat that is wrong.

> I really like the approach of separating, in some way, the kernel, from the user space and interchange them but why you would do that, except for playing and research, if the kernel doesn't give you an advantage and it just an alternative?

Well I think a lot of it is that we thought it would be easier; in theory, separating concerns and putting drivers in userspace sounds like it should make it a lot easier to write the OS. That didn't really turn out, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. On the more practical side, microkernels can have security and reliability benefits (if drivers run in userspace, they have less access to exploit, and crashing a driver doesn't crash the whole machine). I mean, diversity is also useful for its own sake, but there are more immediate benefits.
Why are you trying to make this argument with a hyperbolic and/or inapplicable definition? Working for free would mean no job or slavery. It's not an effective way to make an argument in this case.

It is interesting to think about what could be from a galaxy that was formed ~500 million years before ours.

If life had formed in that galaxy, if somehow it had followed a similar pattern we did (which is doubtful, but just a thought experiment for simplicity). It would be very interesting to see a glimps of where life could be with an "extra" 500 million years. Even just a few million considering homosapiens did not appear until ~300,000 years ago.

It is almost sad in a way that we now know this galaxy exists, but we will always be looking at it 13+ billion years away and will never know what it is now. Can never really compare what that 500 million year head start got it (assuming it still exists).

I think IDLs and gRPC in particular are a meaningful advancement in the problem space. The ecosystem and productivity that they enable via programatic tooling were really eye-opening for me (The OpenAPI ecosystem is, imo, extremely poor).

Ray Tracing in One Weekend Series
We did some math after a dinner party with a few EV owner friends to consider a plugin hybrid 40 miles EV range or full EV. One with a 21 Tesla had already done 2 free high voltage battery replacements within the warranty period which was required and concerning.

So, a plugin hybrid as a second step since the current mild-hybrid has worked well for us and it’s only left the city 3 times in 12 years.

I would be okay with the 300 mile epa range, 80% charge as recommended (240miles), then 70% of that because EPA range is uselessly done inside a lab environment on a dynamometer (168 miles), then if we go further to 80% of that for guaranteed max possible battery degradation after 8 years of use we end up with 134.4 miles of range for a full EV grocery getter. 120 miles is about 3 hours of highway/town driving and $15 to charge up at home which is fine.
A forced $10k-$20k to replace the battery not so much.

Roads can tolerate a lot of damage and be repaired whilst still in use (at less capacity). Capacity might fall but repairs are signalled in advance and people can plan around them, traffic will flow anyway.

In places with big rail networks you're going to hear "I didn't make it into work this morning because of signal failures" really often. And when railways are repaired they will be totally closed for months. They're just way more brittle and unable to degrade gracefully.

If you actually think marketing before building is "common sense", then congrats—you've got more than most. But it's something most people don't learn without a walk down the path of hard knocks.

But more to the point; selling isn't marketing, you are correct. However, at a certain level these 2 activities are nigh-on inseparable and benefit from having a coordinated approach. Regardless of where you draw that line most business owners (especially SMB) suck at marketing AND selling.
Is there actually a difference between those two things?

When your immediate superior sits you don't for a "chat", and you "mutually agree on what is best", it comes across an awful lot like an ultimatum.

DRY is IMHO a maintenance thing.

If "I don't want to maintain three copies of this" is your reaction unifying likely makes sense.

But that assumes the maintenance would be similar which is obviously a big assumption.
I always wanted to have a website/application like this (with a focus on specialty coffee), but it could be so hard to maintain and reach on a global scale. It might work for some local markets, but it's hard to get traction for such initiatives.

"Demonstration of communication in more than one context (e.g., alarm, mating, foraging) using the organism’s endogenous communication signals preferably in an interactive and autonomous way."

I have two dogs, two cats, two ferrets.

Both my dogs can communicate to me that they want to go there, or here, or want food, or play.

Both my cats can do the same,

For both above it is a combination of where they are and how they act and how they react to me.

The ferrets ... a ferret is constantly curious, persistent and the best way to communicate is to switch on, but not move a Henry vacuum, and say "Dance".
There is an unpraised advantage of keeping code, uh wet?, for as long as possible. When you do decide that a refactor is required, you have real use cases to test your abstraction against.

Nice! Firefox is in a good place, because the browser, at this stage (version 126), is really good and fast. And this post seems to point that the development is going in a good direction.
I've never gotten smart watches.

There are some things that a smart watch simply can't do, due to limited screen size and resources. And if you're going to need to carry around a regular smart phone to handle those cases, why bother carrying both?

It feels weirdly redundant, more like a gimmick.
AGPL is open source, the issue is, think of the GPL, and how you have to share code if you release a binary. The AGPL goes a step further, so if you try to run a SaaS with your own custom code on top of the existing codebase, it says you MUST share your code. Hence, you would want to pay for the right to keep your own modifications.
Lessons learned from building an app for job seekers (in tech)
Code generation is very common at Meta. One just needs to create a query or fragment. A fragment can be spread at the root query level using relay so it will do the fetch once. It gets more complex because you can lazily query more data based on parameters you pass into GQL. It feels like magic and is really annoying imo.
> I kind of wish I knew how to start a business.

No need to wish. Starting a business is a learnable skill, and you can learn it from any of a huge number of resources. It isn't even that complex.

It's just a whole lot more work than you probably expect, even if you expect it to be a lot of work. But you get all the rewards of it, rather than being underpaid as an employee (all employees are underpaid in the sense that they have to generate more money for the business than they cost, or hiring doesn't pencil out.)
