The thing is lots of the ultra rich moved to Luxemburg so this happened and this is going to keep happening. Its same why every tech company has european HQ in Ireland.

If it were EU wide it might work somehow but with so many ultra rich high in politics there is no way this could happen. There is always going to be tax haven countries taking advantage of this situations.

New French gov will want to reintroduce these taxes but i think they have to find different ways.
Personally, I'm not interested in a FAANG or hot startup job. So not sure if my "classic" strategy works for those positions. I also got 15+ years experience(in my late 30s). I use the exact same approach today as I did 15 years ago. When I'm in job hunting mode I search through job postings every morning. If I find an opening that stands out I write the company a short email stating my interest and why I think I'd be a good fit (I normally got a template ready for this that I customize for each job), and then I submit the job application. I got a 100% success rate of landing a job within 2 months with this approach.

I'm quite selective about the jobs I apply to. I read job descriptions carefully to try and get a sense of the place. I know the kinds of environments I prefer to work in at this point.
It sucks. At this point, I'm focusing more on quantity rather than quality. I need a change.

Strategy comes into it a lot, just like most sports.

I don't think you even need the ultra rich high in politics, there is a more mundane explanation: countries are competing against one another to attract the HQs. It's a race to the bottom and it's called fiscal dumping.
It seems, to me, a similar dynamic to human pairings (at the edges). The more dominate aggressive females go for the more nurturing males, and vice versa. Then you're left with having pairings of dominate types who fight like 'cats & dogs', and never really know much about the more subdued pairings.
… Eh? The predecessor to gRPC seems to have started internally at Google in 2001, and Google open-sourced it in 2015. In 2001, CORBA was all the rage; by the mid-noughties this had been replaced with SOAP, and maybe Thrift rpc in trendier places. I gather there was a whole parallel Microsoft ecosystem with DCOM and things, though that wasn’t my world and I don’t know much about it. But the point is that there hasn’t been a time where some form of RPC wasn’t in fairly common use since at least the early 90s.

The details change, and each one tries to solve the problems of the past (typically by inventing exciting new problems), but conceptually none of these things are _that_ different.
NZ recently scraped Lake Onslow seasonal hydro storage. My estimate it was about 100x cheaper per kWh when compared with Powerwall.
Yeah, not quite "visual programming,' but there is a similar argument to be made about a program's user interface and how its design suggests it should be used. At this point, that's probably a far better explored area than the same aspect of visual programming.

That said - Rhino is one of the exemplars in this area. I always tell my students - if you don't know what to do, just start typing. As you say the relationship of the graphical command processes and the CLI is stellar.

But - one big shout back to Grasshopper that NOTHING ELSE compares to - if you hold "ctl-alt" and click-hold on a component on the canvas, it opens up the library tab where that component can be found and puts a big arrow pointing to a big circle around it. It's one of the most shockingly useful commands in any program, ever. I've had rooms of students audibly gasp when shown that.
I've only been programming for 6 years. I don't feel the same burning passion as I did when I first started coding. I'm a frontend developer, but I've made a lot of lateral switches into DevOps, backend, leadership, etc but I prefer just building what I'm good at though

But I'm basically semi-retired to a degree in my field. I'm doing the bare minimal to get by at this point. I ultimately would love to quit some day, and pivot into a different career, not entirely related to coding. I'm not at that point yet financially though, and am spending energy elsewhere

I would love to start a non-coding related business one day though.
This seems like a both fun/humorous and an educative project on programming language and interpreter design.

you need to define what the utility function of the agent is so it can know what to actually use to train itself. If we knew that this whole debate about human intelligence in computers would either be solved already or well on its way to being solved.
Agree fully with recruiters being BS.

Google keyword alerts/searches and/or word of mouth, although the latter is less trustworthy. Search, goshdarnit!

No, we’re taking umbrage with the fact that people are saying cycling requires less skill, when this simply isn’t true. It requires different skills, that’s all.
I spent about a year working with blueprints a while back and I found some things just really annoying. like making the execution line go backwards into the a previous block. if you do it straight there, it wont let you, if you use a single reroute note you get an ugly point, so you have to use two reroute nodes to get it to work properly and nicely. Also they don't have all the nodes you need so you end up having to write some new ones anyway

I think people get too hung up on the visuals. There was a (failed) attempt to create something called intentional programming by Charles Simonyi. That happened in the middle of the model driven architecture craziness about 20 years ago.

In short, his ideas was to build a language where higher level primitives are created by doing transformations on lower level syntax trees. All the way down to assembly code. The idea would be that you would define languages in terms of how they manipulate existing syntax trees. Kind of a neat concept. And well suited to visual programming as well.

Weather you build that syntax tree by typing code in an editor or by manipulating things in a visual tool is beside the point. It all boils down to syntax trees.

Of course that never happened and MDA also fizzled out along with all the UML meta programming stuff. Meta programming itself is of course an old idea (e.g. Lisp) and still lives on in things like Ruby and a few other things.

But more useful in modern times is how refactoring IDEs work: they build syntax trees of your code and then transform them, hopefully without making the code invalid. Like a compiler, an IDE needs an internal representation of your code as a syntax tree in order to do these things. You only get so far with regular expressions and trying to rename things. But lately, compiler builders are catching onto the notion that good tools and good compilers need to share some logic. That too is an old idea (Smalltalk and IBM's Visual Age). But it's being re-discoverd in e.g. the Rust community and of course Kotlin is trying to get better as well (being developed by Jetbrains and all).

But beyond that, the idea seems a bit stuck. Too bad because I like the notion of programs being manipulated by programs. Which is what refactoring does. And which is what AI also needs to learn to do to become truly useful for programming.
Comparing Direct2D and GDI Hardware Acceleration
In Textual, I wanted to write a logging app with a big data table and filtering, and I'd hoped that it would be a bit more straightforward to write an optimized one

I guess it would be a nice addition to have some kind of FilterableDataTable with history, filtering, caching, and fast rendering

I guess you probably developed something like that for this tool, perhaps you could share it in Textual, or some kind of "textual widgets extension lib"?

You do not code in the visual environment but it helps you to create tools to visualize exactly what you want/need to see. The interactivity is hard to beat and once you are used to it, you can quickly create visualizations that you can throw away (or keep).

I disagree. I don't think rotating certificates would help against birthday attacks or bad prng.

Tbh, i have no idea which part you are attacking with the birthday attack in this specific context. It doesn't seem particularly relavent.

(At the risk of saying something stupid) - i was under the impression RSA did not use nonces, so i don't see how that is relavent for an rsa cert.

For an ecdsa cert, nonce reuse is pretty catastrophic. I fail to see how short lived certs help since the old certs don't magically disappear, they still exist and can be used in attacks even after being rotated.

Show HN: CLI app for document summary, search and natural language queries
This is a CLI app that I wrote - it will download and summarise all the issues in a github repository using a local LLM or OpenAI, index the results using vector embeddings, and then allow you to search and ask questions about the specs.

I've provided windows and linux binaries, plus source to build and tweak yourself - you can use it with a local install of MarqoDB.

I work in a company with a knowledge in over 8500 github issues software specs, I wrote this to allow me to easily search them and ask direct questions about the functionality.

Things like searching for login issues, and getting a summary of the top results, and asking for patterns. Or finding an issue with a particular feature, and asking for that exact implementation to check the original intent of a feature.

I've given an example of the usage with an open source repository, and it should be easy to swap out the document store or experiment with different ways of querying if you're familiar with c# - I've designed it to experiment with ways of getting information out of a large sets of documents, it's been fun to play with.
'dark matter' is not a theory, it is the name of an observational problem.

There are many theories to explain dark matter observations. MOND is not a competitor with 'dark matter', because MOND is a theory and it tries to explain some aspects (spiral galaxy rotation) of what is observed as the dark matter problem, which consists of many more observations. There is no competition here. There are other theories to explain dark matter, like dark matter particle theories involving neutrinos or whatever, and these may be called competitors, but dark matter itself is not a theory, but a problem statement.

> As a result, we’re continually seeing negative externalities from these disclosures in the form of active exploitation.

That assumes that without these disclosures we wouldn't see active exploits. I'm not sure i agree with that. I think bad actors are perfectly capable of finding exploits by themselves. I suspect the total number of active exploits (and especially targeted exploits) would be much higher without these disclosures.

Weird to be comparing vs rsync. Rsync is notorious for maximizing latency as it has no pipelining.

I have used ZeroMQ with C, Dlang, and Python -- mostly for learning.

However, I have used NetMQ.. a C# implementation of ZeroMQ in live software and the results are very positive!

I used a Pub-Sub pattern for one program to keep users informed on progress of a task, which could have taken hours to complete. They had a GUI program which spits out updates. It worked really well.

I was also tasked updating a Till software, which the integration of orders to the central system was extremely slow. I used NetMQ which was looking extremely successful but was put on hold due to IT manager not understanding Software Developers -- if something starts taking more than a week to do (which I stated I needed a month) they get itchy and move onto to something else. Sadly, that never got completed.

Now, I have played with NNG and there are some interested articles (or hidden pages from memory) about companring NNG to ZeroMQ - it seems the "patterns" are simplified.

I am currently in the progress of creating bindings for NNG. Seems to be pretty good, so far. I plan to move away from NetMQ (C#) in favour of this language moving forward.

Whether you use ZeroMQ or NNG - I dont think you can go wrong. It is all about the process more than anything, ensuring you do not lose data.
You can search for research that studies this exact index effect. Short term: yes, but it wears off quickly.

"specialization inherently leads to meaninglessness" what does this mean? Doesn't everyone want to specialise in something?
> It's more like a preposition that exceptionally comes after the noun phrase instead of before it. (Is there another thing like that in English? I can't think of one, though there's one in German: entlang)

There are some similar constructions:

- Three days hence. (archaic)

- Three days later.

- Three days beforehand.

- Three days afterwards.

I failed to think of one that didn't have to do with time.

You could think of "three days later" as being supposed to have a complement supplied to later, as in "three days later [than that]", but interestingly enough this isn't possible for "beforehand" or "afterwards".

---

postscript: I think this can be conflated with a general syntactic possibility in English. I can describe an establishment as being "one floor up" from some other contextually-determined establishment, or, as with later, I can make that relationship explicit by saying "one floor up from [wherever]". This is also similar to the bog-standard measurement construction that gets you phrases like "three feet tall".
I think this problem can be solved using either a linter or formatter-like tool that makes naming consistent before the code gets committed.
Do current JIT implementation already have something to control specialization? I have heard many times for example that JavaScript engines will specialize hot paths.
This is a pretty cool theory that resonates well with me. What are some good places I can read more about this (and related theories)?
For RTS it's a question of scope: How much of the resource base do you model? It could've been abstracted much further than this, and just grant resources passively based on territory held, or some other metric, and fully focus on battles. Instead we got a genre where resource collection is fairly involved, and a vulnerable spot for enemies to go after to cripple opponents early.

I don't think it was inevitable that the latter style of RTS would be dominant, and only a few outliers focus on simpler economic models, it very well could've been the other way around.
