Ethylene is a lot more valuable than methane, so I don't understand the point here.
I'm interested in attending these in my area (SF South Bay). How should we discover similar meetups?

Is there a place we should subscribe to?
Yeah. If only there was some way to talk to woman and ask them.

It is much harder than it would seem to keep these links secret. If one of your assets gets caught by other means, they could endanger the entire network if they use the same methodology.

The CIA thought they had a super great system, and then many of their assets got rolled up at once in a hugely embarrassing (and deadly) blunder.
Last time I looked, [Unison code] -> [entry in the AST DB] was a one-way process. Adding a function means writing it (with whatever style you like) and seeing if what you wrote constitutes a new function or an existing one. You can't fluff db entries back up in to human friendly code.

I don't see why it couldn't be done though, I think it just hasn't been a priority. Heck, you could have 100 different users collaborating in 100 different "languages", and so long as they serialized to the same AST and back, none of them would ever have to see the atrocious syntax which the other users prefer. Their editors and browsers could just render everything according to their users' preferences.

Edit: it appears that Unison has an issue for this feature: https://github.com/unisonweb/unison/issues/499
It suggests better nutrition (perhaps higher-quality food for people who are growing), a present caregiver parent, lower stress, and less disease.

I think I have read that that Dutch milk and dairy products are of excellent quality and might be a component of that improved nutrition.
Don't forget if you have life-threatening complications in certain states the local populace might try to sacrifice you to their god.
>> how does this vary by religion

Also interesting is how does it vary within a religion. i.e compare the birth rate of Turkey and Iran to that of Mali.

My view is that income and median education dominate other factors.
Maybe his movies made a good amount of money, he personally got a big paycheck from those, and then just invested it and lived off that in a frugal manner.

For a lot of people, if you put $1M in their bank account, they could live off that comfortably for quite a long time, as long as they don't succumb to lifestyle inflation.
Which goes back to the argument on constant growth. Why is there such a need for that?
DOS 3.0 had the first “network redirector” support, which was also very buggy.

It was rewritten for 3.1 (in an incompatible way) and that has been the standard since.

4.0 tried having a generic IFS which never caught on. Network clients preferred the old interface, and 4.0 was unpopular as it chewed up RAM compared to 3.30. 5.0 reverted to doing network redirectors exactly like 3.30 did.
Poor predicate in the long term. If earth based human population continues to grow bad things happen.

Basing success on always being able to find a fresh mark perhaps isn't sustainable.
There are several types of stink bugs, and they don't all smell the same. It's the brown marmorated stink bug that smells like cilantro.
Notes on Scaling Social Media Data Collection
I think "talent development" is still valuable if you find genuinely high agency/curious/hard-working people. I bet you that senior dev, when they were less experienced, would have been a rewarding person to help develop.

I think the problem is that it's really hard to identify people worth taking a risk on developing, because during interviews everybody puts their best foot forward. Typically people use some kind of proxy for this like education or prior achievements, but those are far from perfect (and in fact, both are heavily gamed such that they are rapidly declining in value as a signal) because people will have varying levels of motivation throughout their life and in different environments, and people lie/exaggerate. You can also filter on how much they've developed themselves/been developed, eg how well they perform in a coding interview or what kind of personal projects they've done, but that's arguably just filtering on experience and also subject to gaming (people do these things just to get a high paying SWE job and that drive isn't necessarily there after they have one).

Also, you have to be willing to let people fail or struggle with tasks (you think are/that are) beyond their current skillset to let them grow. To a certain extent people can be trained to persevere through or creatively work around problems, although I do think there is a lot of variance in how well people pick that up. I've found that being too willing to help with these problems is a major reason people don't develop those skills themselves - it's just hard because they're often a source of frustration or stress for the other person, and you know you can probably solve it, and they might know you can probably solve it, so you have to be the bad guy and make them do it anyway.

I recently made the first hires at my startup and handled everything from the job description to talent sourcing to interviewing to onboarding, looking at early career people. Because the hiring market is so favorable to employers right now, I got a ton of applications and managed to hire some really great people. One thing I noticed is that the best candidates tended to be "unique" in their resumes or even their way of contacting me about the position, and they also had strong interests such that they had deliberately gone out of their way to learn new things beyond trivial stuff like "side projects" that amount to following a tutorial. Sometimes a resume might suggest that, but in an interview you could see that those interests were purely surface level; I also designed a pair-programming interview designed to put them way out of their comfort zone as a way to evaluate their perseverance and creativty. So far the agency and curiosity my hires demonstrated has extended into their jobs, and I'm really happy to be able to develop them further, because I can trust that they're going to be active participants and not just "some person who wants a job" that expects to be spoonfed.
DevRel's Death as Zero Interest Rate Phenomenon
This looks more like someone who enthusiastically came to a costume party but turned out to be a different theme than he had in mind. So, contemplating life by the side of the pool on which part of the message he misinterpreted that he wore a different costume.
Agreed. You also sometimes have to let them struggle or even fail at tasks to let them grow.

I kind of did. I do enterprise API management using a low code solution now. It has its own embedded language. You have to understand transmission and programming generally.

I loved writing JavaScript, but not for work. I really felt like almost nobody in (corporate) JavaScript land could program and were super emotional about it. I really got tired of the stupidity and compensating nonsense. This new thing is so much better that it’s hard to put into words.
Perhaps the last updated date then? (2020)
if they were truly represented by the same AST, I can't believe the differences between these "languages" would be anything more than swapping symbols out.
If it was done as a desired choice rather than it being driven by economic fears, you're right, we shouldn't care. But for most people, they aren't having kids because they don't have a house, they don't have a stable partner (tangentially tied to economic needs), they just don't have money to raise kids.

With supply and demand, you'd expect a decline in workers would mean higher wages down the line. But the ruling class will always make sure there is endless immigration and free trade agreements to keep the average citizen broke and miserable.
So “safe supply” of drugs (meth) in your example, absolutely doesn’t work and will only get more people addicted? I mean, I don’t disagree but there is a significant amount of people who are pro safe supply
They don't need it. But they don't want anybody else to have it either. With such a generic and descriptive name trade mark protection isn't easy.
When I was knee high to an elf I recall that a couple browsers (IE5 and Netscape were the ones I tested) did seem to lookup .com for the term. This was before the URL bar became a search box. But you could reliably type something like hotmail or cute or joke and get to the correct website. The problems from there are super obvious and I am not surprised this no longer works.
Note how Ukraine sunk much of Russia's Black Sea fleet... without having a navy of their own to speak of. No carriers involved but it's a harbinger of what's to come. Missiles and drones.

Carriers are increasingly vulnerable against things like missiles and drones that are multiple orders of magnitude cheaper. Think about how a carrier group would defend itself against, say, a heterogenous attack of 100-200 combined simultaneous ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, and/or manned aircraft.

Obviously carrier groups have multiple layers of missile defense: CWIS, combat air patrols, etc. But you only need one missile to get through and that carrier is quite possibly going to be unable to launch planes for quite a while.

And even if you don't hit the carrier, the carrier is going to be undertaking evasive maneuvers during the attack. That means no planes taking off and landing. For a very early example of this, look at the Battle of Midway. The American air attacks were disorganized and sporadic. And yet, they largely kept the Japanese carriers from flying planes for much of the day, leading to a crushing American victory just as their window of opportunity closed.

None of this exactly means carriers are "obsolete." Against non-peers, that is still a whole lotta force projection.
A few decades ago, Quickturn sold a custom-built FPGA cluster to do hardware simulation at the gate level.

Quickturn was bought by Cadence and now seems to be gone.
My extremely naive understanding is that the more useful ones, which also tend to be structures of language like gender or color, get their own dimensions, and other embedding are represented with combinations.

A weak illustration of this is this site[1], from an HN post a few months ago[2].

Does the paper say they don't have stable cycling beyond a few hundred cycles? Or just that they only tested up to a few hundred cycles, and it was stable all through the range they had time to test so far? Big difference between those two.
Most (probably all?) tournaments require you to pick your race and keep it for the whole tournament. No switching based on map or matchup. But you can pick random.
Oops, the lyrics actually say "27th year", not "22nd".
Passing a head through an opening too small for the task doesn't look appealing at all - I remember an account from Annie Lowery about a doctor cutting open her perineum as part of her delivery.

> The sense of being eviscerated, the room going Technicolor. I did not know I could feel so much pain.

> The extra anesthesia kicked in, so I keeled over in the bed as the doctor explained that he’d performed an episiotomy while wresting the baby out. I was insufficiently anesthetized at the time. “I’m sorry,” he said softly. [0]

And the alternative is getting gutted and sown back up.

But I can't help but suspect that it's the time pressure that really makes it infeasible. We can only juggle so much and it takes a lot of time to keep up with the demands of modern life.

Lack of religion/purpose is also probably huge. With all the reasons not to have kids, you probably need a good reason to, but maybe there isn't one.

Sure, for some applications of calculus
can use just discrete steps. That is,
instead of the calculus dy/dt just use
something like (y)dt.

Then, for the arithmetic, some code can be
short and, compared with cells in a
spreadsheet, easier and with more control
over the time steps, e.g., in Rexx with cf
for customer fraction:

Say ' ==== Growth ===='
Say ' '
Say ' Customer'
Say ' Year Fraction'

max_years = 5
steps_per_year = 10 * 365
cf = 1 * ( 1 / 100 )
year = 1
k = 1 * ( 1 / 2000 )
Do Forever
Do i = 1 To steps_per_year
cf = cf + k * cf * ( 1 - cf )
End
Say Format(year,9) Format(100*cf,10,2) || '%'
If year = max_years Then Leave
year = year + 1
End

yielding

==== Growth ====

Customer
Year Fraction
1 5.89%
2 27.97%
3 70.66%
4 93.73%
5 98.93%

So, get a 'lazy S curve'. I've since
learned that the curve has a name, the
'logistic curve'. And, right, can also
consider that curve for other cases of
growth, e.g., for a first, rough estimate,
COVID.

Adjust some of the constants in the
program and can get more output, say, for
each month, day, etc. The code above uses
10 steps per day.

For more, someone could use the calculus
solution and compare.

In a sense, for the FedEx problem and the
assumptions about what was driving the
growth, the calculus solution is a
smooth version of the somewhat more
appropriate discrete time version.

But when I did the calculation at FedEx,
my best source of arithmetic was an HP
calculator in which case the calculus
solution was a lot easier.

Of course, this FedEx calculation was just
one example and there are many others.

My view from 10,000 feet up is that in
business, at times some math can be an
advantage if not the work of a steady job.

If some math is an advantage, then that
advantage tends to go to the owners of the
business. If a mathematician wants to get
paid for some math they have in mind,
maybe they should start a business and be
the owner.

this one is old, but this is mostly used for rootless containers or well-thought VM setups where you need to properly route things. There are a dozen flavours of user mode virtual network devices and routers to use. All of varying combinations of maturity, features, performance.

All that was out of fashion during the brief period everyone fired sysadmins and all devs got a "devops" tshirt, and then everyone just run Docker as root with bridge mode network.

Oh no no no. Companies are supposed to be perfect and clairvoyant and never make a mistake. So it’s entirely reasonable to expect them to have no need for learning or fixing or reversing a decision.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolide

Now what do the variables actually mean that you can colorize and what does the data mean?
that's kind of the beauty of the system. we actually have no way of knowing if it was just random fill.

maybe they were just random digits with an off by one error or some other problem with the symbol set missing one symbol.

or maybe the supposed fill messages can actually be cryptographically confirmed as authentic fill messages via some clever scheme (that the implementation of turned out to be buggy).

or maybe someone from some sort of field operations chain of command just slammed the table and said "my people are tired of trying to decrypt fill messages, i don't care, just cut the nines out so the field agents know if there's a message."

that's what makes numbers stations fun. :)

It was a huge failure on the part of OS vendors that CD-R never became that.

The ISO9660 file system on CD-Rs was specifically designed so that you could add on sessions to a disk that "deleted" or "modified" files on earlier sessions, so that an OS could just present a CD-R as a huge floppy and it would work seamlessly until the disk ran out of space to append new data to.

Then they failed again with DVD-RAM, which was also basically a gigantic optical floppy disk.

(Personally I stopped using floppy disks in around 1998/1999. Before going to school I'd start an upload of the document I needed to my ISPs 10 MB of FTP space on my 56k modem at home before leaving, and by the time I arrived at school, it was done. This was still more reliable than using floppies.)

Can you elaborate on why ‘many large companies’ are choosing MongoDB over alternatives and what their use cases are? I’ve been using Mdb for a decade and with how rich the DB landscape is for optimising particular workloads I just don’t see what the value proposition is for Mdb is compared to most of them. I certainly wouldn’t use it for any data intensive application when there’s other fantastic OLAP dbs, nor some battle hardened distributed nodes use case, so that leaves a ‘general purpose db with very specific queries and limited indexes’. But then why not just use as PG as others say?

edit: I tried adding an embedded version but the required headers didn't play well with other embeds. The older versions are all still stuck in codesandboxes.
