No, don't do it. What's the fascination of learning new languages? There are hundreds, if not thousands, to pick from. Yet only a tiny subset will be useful. Why waste the energy? There are better ways to use your time, including watching a good show or movie.

Master the ones you already know and you'll be way better off. And if you don't know any, pick one from the top ten. The only reasons to learn a new obscure language are if you have a need for it or wish to explore it for fun.

This reminds me of when I stumpled into a music theory flame war by proposing the "scale": 1, 15/14, 15/13, ..., 15/8, 2. https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/66620/what-is-a-te...

This set of 8 nodes (can be transposed to whichever base frequency) has the lowest common denominator between any pair of nodes among all 8-node scales.

I thought that might make it a good choice for a just intonation scale (which can really be any subset of frequencies you build you music from), but it turned out a sensitive subject.

This is an interesting question, though I think it needs to be qualified a bit since there are many AI images and AI image generators that don't match this pattern.

First, AI Images != OpenAI/ChatGPT Images. OpenAI has done a great job making a product that is accessible and thus their product decisions get a lot more exposure than other options. A few people have commented how there are several Stable Diffusion fine tunings that produce very different styles.

Second, AI Images and images of AI images of people are different. I think that the high gloss style is most pronounced in people. Partly this is because it is more notable and out of place.

If you take the previous two points as being true the question becomes why does ChatGPT image model skew toward generated shiny people. I would venture that is a conscious product decision that has something to do with what someone thought looked the most reliably good given their model's capabilities.

Some wild speculation as to why this would be the case:

* Might have to do with fashion photos having unusually bright lights and various cosmetics to give a sheen.

* It might have something to do with training the model on synthetic data (i.e. 3d models) which will have trouble producing the complicated subsurface scattering of human skin.

* Might have something to do with image statistics and glossy finishes creeping in where they don't belong.

* Might have to do with the efficiency of representing white spots.
Agreed, aesthetic literacy is very low and most people probably couldn’t name more than a handful of art styles.

It sounds just like a co-op or an employee-owned business.

Now, I love me a good union - and there’s something to be said about a healthy tension between management and labour in terms of keeping management a bit more honest, just like management and capital - but in smaller orgs, a co-op will probably do the job.

You could probably get a fair way to quantifying that by looking at premium news-publication subscription rates, and making allowances for domestic vs. international readership.

There's also the 15% subscribership rate amongst NPR listeners, which suggests to me a hard-core media consumer segment. That percentage has been steady for decades, and if anything has fallen somewhat as NPR's overall listenership has expanded.

The hard-core news segment is probably on the order of 1--5% of the population.

Circulation of WSJ and NYT, print and online, is roughly 3m and 7m respectively. That's from a total US adult population of ~300m, or about 1--2% of population for each. I suspect a fair bit of overlap in subscriptions.

How much of this is a matter of interest, willingness to pay, ability to pay, or ability to access news through other means/channels, I don't know.

You may be missing a point. Their PaaS was already hosted on AWS. [0] “with GOV.UK PaaS this was predominantly the AWS eu-west-2 (London) region, but some tenancies were hosted in the AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland) region”

The lack of “rapid growth” means few gov areas used it. Intended consumers just used AWS and competitors directly. Maybe in part for sovereignty reasons.

The blog post is saying they moved one of their services off their lightly used PaaS.

D.R.Horton home sizes have remained mostly consistent for the past 20+ years that I am aware of*

* My family worked with home builder marketing departments, and I use to enjoy seeing home & price progression in the area over the years (D.R. Horton has been and is, mostly 1200-2200sqft with a few going past that on either end). One of my many issues with this article is making the mass production builder into a bad guy. D.R. Horton IS the "Starter Home" builder, few other builders can compete for that market because the cost and time it takes to build. It's why local small builders tend to build higher quality homes, they only have the resources (money for permits, legal etc and manpower) for a few houses a year. If the profit on a home is $55k with all the marketing and construction bulk prices DRHorton gets, whats that profit for the 2-4 homes a year local builder this guy wants to replace them with? Probably not much to want to keep doing the job; always on the verge of financial collapse if 2008 happens again (many small home builders disappeared and did not come back. I dont think many people want that kind of risk to start up again). If we wait for small local builders to build homes we would be in a far worse situation than we are now.

I had the opportunity to talk, in length, to the owner/CEO of a mid-sized builder who had to sell the remaining lots from one of three communities because he couldn't keep the prices within: both a price that they would sell and price to make a profit (or break-even); the shortage of construction workers and regulatory delays and cost were a large drain on resources. It had nothing to do with having land or needing to buy land, he already had, it was simply taking too long to get through the building process. Not sure if home builders are still doing it, but many in the area were working together to try and get high-school students into construction apprenticeship/vocation programs to make up for the shortage.
Lecturing people on their morals is fun but painfully useless. Peer pressure exists, and corps know how to leverage it, and that's a fact that we need to deal with.
Do you have experience with Flutter?
At my previous job, prior to new management (we got bought out), my team worked closely with QA during the development process---they would get daily, often times, more than daily, builds of our project and so by the time it got to the staging environment, it pretty much worked [1]. New management comes in, forces a hard wall between us and QA and pretty much, we went from "favored vendor" of our customer [2], to "least favorite vendor" in less than a year. One deployment took four attempts to get right. Bugs found left and right. All because the new management didn't want to "pollute" QA's testing mindset with implementation details. Sigh.

[1] During the 11 years I was there, there were only two deployments that were reversed, prior to new management. And the bugs were found during the immediate testing after deployment and we were able to reverse quickly.

If you ever feel like going back, the Divide Et Impera overhaul mod really, really elevates Rome II into a great game in my opinion. Very, very strongly recommended.
>Curious what approach you'd propose in their place?

The approach used nowadays, make engines that can be fired (at least on the ground) multiple times. As far as I'm aware, all current generation American rockets can be static fired on the ground to verify that they work.

Edit: Although, come to think of it, not necessarily true with vacuum engines, but even then, they can test the turbopumps and have enough sensors to find potential issues before launching (at least once enough experience has been built up on the engine).

Lovely explanation! Thank you! It is simultaneously crazy that neutrinos can pass through so much matter unhindered, yet intuitive that when something is so small and can only interact with such a small fraction of the volume it is passing through - it can indeed pass unhindered.

> Let me give you a concrete example that demonstrates the relationship between the programmers and design leadership, and led to problems that contributed to the bad launch state of the game. One of the main new features included in Rome II was combined land and naval battles. Since Empire we’d had naval battles, but they were completely separate from land battles, and the codebase had been developed without any expectation that they might one day be unified. What that meant was that you had one part of the codebase that handled land units and land-based combat, and another part of the codebase that handled ships and naval combat, and neither half had been designed with the other in mind. The battle programming team was asked to deliver combined land and naval battles as a core feature in Rome II, and our lead warned that combining those parts of the codebase would require a lot of the code to be changed, and that it would create a lot of bugs that we would spend most of the project dealing with, and we couldn’t guarantee that it would be stable by the end of the project.

> Leadership said to do it anyway.

I don't really see the leadership problem here to be honest, because of feature is difficult to do (because ambitious) does not mean it does not deserve to be done. I guess the problem was more that the time to execute was too short. An healthier way to respond would have been "Sure, but because of X and Y difficulties please consider the time to finish development will be increased by Z"

The developper sounds like he may have been a bit difficult to work with at times.

However I was shocked to learn that the game was not playable until very late, how could this allow any meaningful testing and feedback before going live?

As far as I know, the US Treasury and FDIC are both under a legal obligation but either could be unable to fulfill its obligation if it lacks the funds. Under this scenario where the Treasury defaults, tons of banks will will be broken (since they keep money in the Treasury too), how will FDIC save them when its money is also tied up in treasuries?
The breakdown of a project into milestones of predictable difficulty generally has high error bars. If something has been built before then you can predict it but why are you building it again?

The only way I've found of doing this accurately is to reassign a task, IE if something is taking dev1 what you perceive as too long, assign it to less experienced dev2 and see if they can complete it from scratch in less time. If so, you know dev1 is subpar or slacking and should be RIF'd.
In case one not digging into the source code, the key stretching here is PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 with 400,000 iterations (OWASP recommended 210,000).

The reason for not using Argon2 or scrypt is because PBKDF2 is native provide by Webcrypto yet FIPS-140 compliance.

I don’t see an issue with that comment. Sometimes when people ask this, it opens another dimension of discussion and comparisons. Maybe there is already a library and someone will post it. Maybe it will encourage someone to create one, given that there are people out there requesting it. Among other positive reasons, not everything is negative or should be assumed that way.

If Kiyosaki's rhetoric sounds MLM-like, it's because he's made fistfuls of cash as a spokesman/motivator for the MLM movement, Amway specifically. The MLMs love these motivational speakers because they help keep people in the program buying product, even when they otherwise would have wised up and left. And it gives the higher-ups plenty of "training materials" (books, tapes, etc.) they can sell to their downline (which is how the real money gets made).
Taking a shot at a gentler version of the sibling comment.

If someone says "I made a thing," and a reply says "that's cool but I would rather have something slightly different that matches my technology of choice," I can't see any positive outcomes for anybody. For the submitter or author, the message is "what you made isn't good enough." For a reader without context, it purely muddies the waters because it adds noise without teaching them anything. For a reader with context, it's not new. I don't understand what the value could be for anyone.

Imagine someone submits an article about a MySQL ORM for Go, and the top comment is "now one in Ruby, please." How does that help anyone? It only diminishes the efforts of the submitter and ignores the complexity of writing an ORM in the first place.

If you want to start an effort to do something similar, then talk about doing that. If you want to tell people about another cool technology, do that. If you think the project under discussion could be extended to support something you want, pitch the value. If you want to make a feature request, you can definitely do that with more kindness for the creator.

I know from experience how annoying it is when random people come at you with tone critiques to your hastily written HN comments, so please take this as intended, just an attempt at building empathy.
Finance is the missing skill that the Google founders didnt have. That was the flaw in the plan. They had to defer to others. Thats how one dimensional super optimizers leak into the system and change were the tracks are laid.

Throw in the fact, that after capital became easy to move around the world, financial engineering or taking advantage of cross border differences in interest rates, tax rates, forex, labour costs, real estate prices, subsidies etc etc and quickly buying up the competition anywhere on the planet, can make you more cash than anything a designer or an engineer or a scientist ever produces.

So it really boils down to developing finance skills and finance teams with value alignment or they will dominate business decision making sooner or later.

Yeah NPR and Fox are the same degree of biased. It's just harder for people to tell that NPR is biased because its bias is aligned better with the liberal regimes of most western countries. If the regime in your country was right leaning, you'd see most media display that bias and NPR would be your go-to example of something unhinged and biased.

Most left leaning people can't even tell when they're watching something biased towards their beliefs because to them it's just like a fish swimming in water.
i'm with you quantified. I'm just a guy, but for me personally when someone says "i'm the best" (especially as a programmer) that's a pretty decent red flag. Programming since the beginning of time is just one curve of lifelong learning with evolutions in languages, methodologies, etc. It's one field where it's basically impossible to be "the best", as there's always an area you can do better in. There's also always that one guy that's gonna be more cracked than you.

TLDR: IMHO bravado of any kind is pretty overrated. Just say that you are a fit and show where you can be better, that's what this game is all about. And feigning that bravado for interview clout is especially corny cause any programmer worth their salt can sniff that out immediately.
Doesn’t SIPC protect from the fund manager stealing your money?

I don't exactly see it this way - "You can only do this by doing actual discovery interviews with prospects in an unbiased way where you explore their experience around specific problem areas without ever mentioning your brilliant solution - as proposing a specific solution is likely to bias your subject."

Sometimes the entrepreneur needs to expand the possibility space, rather than just addressing an "unmet need". There's the Jobs-ism about figuring out what the customer is going to want before they do. Thiel also talks in Zero to One about some of the biggest innovations not spawning from customer feedback or lean methodology.

I wouldn't say that GPT addressed a problem I had per se. It just created a whole new set of activities I wanted to try.
My experience (and I admit I may be too biased given years of prior C/C++ experience) is that Rust's syntax is a necessity, since no other mainstream languages besides C/C++ are as low-level as Rust.

Most mainstream languages have a GC, and don't support distinguishing between values on the stack or references, don't need to deal with lifetimes or don't provide the safety you get with them, etc.

I'm curious though, could you give an example of syntax you consider convoluted, and how you would do it instead?
I don’t think the parent is satirical at all; as an enumerated power, the IRS needs modernization and better funding.

Recent hiring expansions have increased audits for high earners and generated additional revenue.

On local: speaking with a friend who finally ditched their own long-standing subscription to a clearly-walking-dead local paper, the one element most missed was coverage of local arts and culture events. Even a national publication might be able to address that with a few regional editions which focus on events in major cities. For, say, the NYT, covering LA, SF, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Washington, and perhaps Houston or Dallas, might at least give a proxy of regional coverage, and I'm aware that at least some papers do offer a regionalised edition for at least some places.

Sounds as if you're doing more news aggregation than news production, which ... doesn't seem to get at the question of how to actually get local news produced in the first place. That's a long-standing challenge. From what I've read of news history local newspapers pretty much always did function as both a local challenge on national/international reporting (usually through wire services) with a gloss of local coverage and advertising. This also meant that by subscribing to the local paper, readers were getting national stories and features. Often stories would run in multiple papers nationally with small elements changed to fit or feature locations or features specific to a local paper's readership.

With Internet-based distribution, much of that's disintermediated, as you note.

Glancing over your homepage: what I'd like to see is an arrangement that groups similar topics together, rather than a random sequence of stories. See Postman's description of the contextless news wire (I think that's in Amusing Ourselves to Death).
