You have again, only offered examples of things that 'are not' artisan, and offered no definition or real argument against the sentiment of the article. No argument for what is artisan, and why it does not apply.

I'd say you have instead backed yourself into a corner where nothing is artisan, that the term can't be applied to any field at all.

If it is purely "the artifact is still what is most important, by a mile", then of course there are many that would include iPhones, an algorithm, a mathematical proof,... etc...

If an artisan can only be judged by their products, then any trash that is popularly agreed upon as 'artisanal' can make the producers an 'artisan'. It is all 'in the eye of the beholder'.

Thanks for the intellectual charity. I'll buy a coffee with it for what it is worth.

Edit: To stretch this further, if 'artisanal' using a 'traditional' or 'non-mechanist' methods, then since programming is now many decades old, I could say ::

"Well son, I'm programming in VBScript, like my father did, and his father before him. In the traditional manner of a dying generation. I don't dig these new fangled editors with their 'code completion', leave VSCode to the kids. I do things the old way and it works and my customers love it".

If a trip to the baker took 172 days, there would be over 171 used days to justify; if it took 172 engineers to change a lightbulb, it would have to be a very special lightbulb or explanations should be in order. Besides uses of concern of the extra resources spent, it simply just makes no sense.

Afraid single payer system would just be hollowed out by conservatives (funded by PE), as it has been in the UK. Doubtful the US has the buy in and the discipline to maintain such a system.

Sadly our private insurance market is an oligopoly that can obscure pricing and collude to increase prices. So it's the worst of both worlds.
Speaking of the devil - I've just had hallucinations with Ollama and reader-lm model (converting HTML to Markdown) the other day. In 40% of cases it spew out things that weren't in the input (not exactly surprising, knowing that it's a generative model).

Turns out the model needs temperature of zero (and then it seem to behave well, at least in simple tests), but it wasn't in the model settings.

macOS has started to add some unplanned APIs all in the name of security. Full disk access - no api to get the permission. No way to do this in XCode permanently for development. Just keep dragging builds on each clean build folder.
> I doubt that there is still any real career opportunity in "applied" optimization.

I agree there are no ready made jobs for that.

But you yourself know there are optimization problems all over real life. It’s a sales problem. Companies don’t know what they need or who has it.

> there is nearly no career in "applied" optimization

Agreed. But that’s true of all PhDs. The only difference is business guys see “computer science” and have an idea of where it fits in their org. It’s easier to sell. But in reality there is no business for experts in complexity theory or category theory type systems.

Making money involves solving practical problems. Even professors take a two job approach, mixing official research to get tenure with stuff they are actually interested in.

> With a BS "With Honors" in math, I got strongly recruited

This is very unfortunate. Because professors grew up competing in an academic tournament for their jobs they think that’s how the whole world works.
We don't use Redux and use useReducer.

A Login page is typically a page that if you don't use a FSM, i will make you redo your work. How do you handle MFA? Errors, including network errors since we work with offshore stations that don't have the most stable connexions? I don't see a single way using a handful of states wouldn't result in poor code. What do you do if a new oidc provider will be used? Or if we migrate to AWS and use cognito, what states should you remove, what should you add? How to you order the rendering?

Nah, if you don't want to reuse our hooks and functions that's fine, but you need a decent architecture, and using a handful of state is not it, especially not for a login page. As long as you have a process to follow in the component, not using a reducer will hurt you and the maintainability (we avoid putting business logic on the front-end to be fair, but sometimes you have no choice). And simple component that just display shit (thus don't need a reducer) aren't often given to juniors are this part of the job is uninteresting and quick to do for non-juniors. We tend to do a lot more backend and ops than front anyway.
I get your worries about LLMs and their consistency problems. But I think we can fix a lot of that using LLMs themselves for checks. If you're after top-notch accuracy, you could throw in another prompt, add some visual and text input, and double-check that nothing's lost in translation. The cheaper models are actually great for this kind of quality control. LLMs have come a long way since they first showed up, and I reckon they've stepped up their game enough to shake off that bad rap for giving mixed signals.

In both cases I think the name and the press release is more valuable than the work being done by these famous names. That doesn't mean it's fraud, but it's a gross marketing tactic that sure looks similar to the behavior of fraudsters.

Oh punishing people for expressing themselves is very Western. That's how we got the Inquisition, the witch trials, the Red Scare / McCarthyism, cancel culture and so on.

It's just morphed into generally non-violent forms over the years (which we can't argue aren't something of an improvement), rather than the classic bullet to the back of the neck technique preferred by the Soviet model.

This. I like listening to technical solo founders talk about they built. Its the less technical marketing guys building in public their AI "powered" crud apps or micro SaaS like you describe that really bother me. They remind me a lot of scammy people on Instagram talking about drop shipping or whatever the get rich quick scheme of the week is.
I looked the examples page, but it was a little disappointing. Every example was something that was easier (and sometimes shorter) in Python.

It would be awesome if there were an example of something that can't be done in Python because it takes advantage of lisp's "functions are first class".
There is absolutely no evidence of this. Sounds like something to focus on if you really want to find a rational basis for racism.

It’s crazy that you put up with it.

Me, in Europe - I need healthcare, I go wherever I want, public or private. Public is free and good, but usually you have to wait a few weeks or months for non-critical care, and private can usually see you tomorrow. My insurance will cover it, no question - everyone is in network with everyone, and I’ve yet to find an exception. I pay €600 a year, and it covers all the root canals and colonoscopies I can handle. No copay. No excess, except on dentistry, which is like €25.
I did a ton of Googling before writing this code, but I couldn't find you guys anywhere. If I had, I'd have definitely used your stuff.

As far as I know the first Apple computer was not really a computer but a box of parts that the customer had to assemble themselves. The early days of Apple is probably the best example of "building in public" because so much of it was actually just selling the dream. In any case, the opposite is infinitely worse. Too many people wasted away for years "building in private". If and when they did finally release it was to the sound of crickets. Hacking for pleasure is one thing. If you're trying to build a business then you must be always be selling and marketing.
If you're interested in the qualitative distinction between subtractive and additive synthesis this is a fun practical example of why you might use the latter that I like a lot (implemented in operator no less :) )

You might but that's massive cliff to scale. Maybe OpenAI has money to do that but I highly doubt that.

On the other hand, they could do OpenAI Android Phone which is cheaper but still requires a ton of cash. I also haven't met many people bullish on OpenAI that they would buy a phone around it.

I always find it funny how engineers have a caste system. Systems engineers look down their noses at application engineers, everyone looks down at web developers. But it used to be that mechanical engineers looked down at electrical engineers, who looked down at all software engineers. I like to imagine a Roman engineer judging a medieval siege engineer by whether they can build an aqueduct or not, and the siege engineer judging a Victorian civil engineer by whether they know how to make a simple, run of the mill catapult.
tbf I dislike revisions in the forever space as a default and would prefer if they are off. If revisions can expire by default that is fine tough. I have no idea how Wordpress handles it. But most of the time you should backup your hosting data anyway , especially Wordpress, because updates will break stuff and these revisions are useless for that.

Unless the system gets worse, there will never be enough willpower to change it for the better.

As it stands, the system is already awful for the majority of people, with outcomes like this that become commonplace.

> it’s tantamount to a selfish action that benefits you to the expense of others.

Not unlike having great insurance paid for by your company, while others (just at the cutoff of govt subsidy for the plan) suffer the most and have to pay thousands of dollars for routine care.

It's the ultimate "fuck you got mine", only applied to something that most people can't live without. And while "fuck you got mine" is okay in the context of luxury items, it is not in the case of medicine/housing/food.

So maintaining the status quo is just as, if not more, selfish than protesting the system with a non-payment. But again, keeping the status quo is just letting the wound fester at this point.
Yes, you can customize this as you wish by adding it to your prompt.
It seems like insurance companies don’t care about things that burden the customer or provider. Lots of onerous forms and weird processes that are wrongly documented.

I had infuriating situations where their directory showed a provider, their phone service confirmed they were in network, but the claim was rejected as out of network. They said they made a mistake and the only way to know is to try to submit a claim. I asked the same thing “if you know to review a claim why don’t your reps or your web site know?”
At a more microscopic level, the same goes for git commits. Complete, sensible ideas are much easier to interact with and understand than someone's chaotic half thought through work-in-progress. There's value to this approach at all scales of magnification--completeness and polish aids digestibility and helps {colleagues, users, buyers, prospects} understand the value proposition.
You’re saying they’re no true Scotsmen.

They’re entrepreneurs who don’t really care what you call them. Of course people will try to make money, not everyone can afford to (or is willing to) maintain whole side projects for fun. Some people have side projects unrelated to their main line of work.
I think shifting them to static applications when they hit 70% capacity makes more sense, personally. For now, just recycle the ones that have actually failed. Or even just warehouse them until they can be recycled.

(Whether we actually do that or not, capitalism being what it is....)
Yeah and Apple didn’t make any money until after that phase.

> If you're trying to build a business then you must be always be selling and marketing.

Yes. I am only giving marketing advice. Sales is unfortunately embedded in so many other areas of life besides commerce.
To me, it always seemed like the "build in public" folks were doing it more for themselves. A way to not feel so alone on the journey, while ultimately working alone. If it helped with marketing and launch, that would be a bonus.

What are the challenges facing more rapid uptake and availability of cargo bikes for the general public in your opinion?
Dont these things have high labor per kilogram-kilometer costs? How would they ever be competitive? What am I missing?

Edit:

> Another study in Brussels looking at the operational advantages of cargo bikes over vans found that when you factor in insurance, maintenance, depreciation, and energy costs, vans have five to 10 times higher expenses per parcel.

I'm skeptical. I would imagine that the driver cost is the largest driver.

They need to consider SLA’s when looking at broadband.

We just got FTTH on our block, but, in 2022, the phone company’s DSL offering only achieved 1 nine for the only people I know that used it (and they switched to starlink). The current marketing materials claim three nines (SLO, not SLA), which is pretty poor.

At this point we’re all waiting a few years to see if the offering is reliable.

By comparison, in Starlink’s worst year, we got 5 nines at our place.

So, we’re happily paying 7x more for 1/10th the bandwidth than the fiber network advertises.
This person is explicitly ignoring that EVs use tire and braking configurations that maximize efficiency over performance in order to make their point.

It's because the article uses a different source than you for total revenue. If you look at the wiki page titled: "List of largest companies in the United States by revenue" [1], it lists Centene as 22nd with a slightly outdated ~$154B in revenue.

You should know the author was referencing American companies because your second line of your post reads, "One of the 25 largest corporations in America, Centene brings in more revenue...". If you look at your 'Companies Market Cap' site, you'll actually see that it includes a global set of corporations including, but not limited to, Saudi Aramco (KSA), Sinopec (CN), Petro China (CN), Volkswagen (DE), China State Engineering (CN),Toyota (JPN), JBS (BRA) etc. And those were the only ones I saw without scrolling.

I have issues with the way that author wrote her article, but I have even more of an issue with commenters like you who don't actually take the time to read or comprehend the matter at hand. You just come into a comment section with the intention of trying to prove your preconceived perspective.

The point of this article, if it's not clear, is that certain health insurers do not do a good job advocating for their insureds and do not fulfil their end of the contract. In this scenario, it seems like one could make a good argument that this lead to the death of a young man wrestling with alcoholism. It's obvious, if you read the other comments here, that the real story are the sweeping complaints of the private healthcare system in the US in general as many others seem to have had similar issues.

I'm not sure what exactly their NPM has to do with this discussion. Other, seemingly better insurers (both larger in scale and fewer complaints by customers) post margins that are more than double of Centene so it seems like Centene should take your advice and either go out of business or do a better job running their existing business.
