Yeah, looking at that example feels like jumping straight into the deep end of the pool. I think it helps going through a tutorial that breaks down the why of each piece. I really liked this tutorial on it: https://www.typeonce.dev/course/effect-beginners-complete-ge...

Some core things from Effect though that you can see in that Express example:

* Break things down into Services. Effect handles dependency injection, that's typed, for services so you can easily test them and have different versions running for testing, production, etc.
* Fibers for threaded execution
* Managing resources to make sure they're properly closed with scope

I think a lot of these things though often aren't truly appreciated until you've had something go wrong before or you've had to build a system to manage them yourself.

Conway's Game of Life perhaps is a good example: it's a simple program, with a tight loop and cheap calculation in the loop. Python's loops are slow. I wouldn't be surprised if the speedup was much greater than 45x.
Well, in real life this setup uses Gitlab but I referenced Github because I assumed they have better WYSIWYG options than Gitlab.

And why that matters is because I can run the pipeline from my own laptop with gitlab-runner.

But we all have our own view of minimalistic and mine is "the less code is running, the more minimalistic it is". To be abundantly clear, the less code is running that I have to operate or maintain. Obviously Github, S3 and a SSG generator is a lot of code.

The title literally made me laugh out loud. What drama! What intrigue! Can't wait to see what happens next.

Honestly, I have no horse in the race, so to speak. I think the people responsible for Wordpress code still suck because they still, in 2024, want the software itself to be able to write to where the software itself lives and runs, which is just bananas. It violates the first two rules of anything and everything on the web that I learned in the '90s:

* do not allow writing to anywhere that's executable

* do not allow execution anywhere that's writable
What I was implying was the cost of services, who are you going to host with?

Cost of maintaining, whos going to keep up with latest CVEs?

Cost of domain, registrars, SSL certificates.

Cost of all adds up. A non-tech IT business has minimal resources for all of that. They want "pay $, click, it works". Not a dedicated IT worker to serve all of above.

If you take say a tutor, a bassist, they don't want all that overhead. They want a platform where they can advertise their tutoring costs, a contact form and be done with it. WP isn't ideal but it works.

For someone who can host WAMP/LAMP, fine. But for the average folk, it's not. There was a reason why WP gained popularity to begin with and it was because it was easy to adapt and junior PHP developers were plentiful, just as junior python developers are now.
Here'e an old article about how they do it.[1]

The Waffle House storm center.[2]

They have an emergency menu mode. Only a few items are available, and those are all ones which can be prepared rapidly in bulk.

Waffle House locations deliberately do not use any systems which require continuous Internet connectivity.

thank you for the feedback - much appreciated. I did in fact get your feedback that you submitted. I;ve fixed the UI so it reflects that your message was delivered. I've also changed it so that clicking on an itinerary will take you to view the itinerary without requiring login. Sorry it took a bit of time to get back to you - just got home from a 12 hour hospital shift and got working on it straight away!

In the settings of the iPhone Mirroring app there is an option to require the Mac login to access the iPhone every time, or do it automatically. This is asked when you first set it up and can be changed later.

I set mine up to login automatically, because I'm the only one who uses my laptop and I live alone. If other people were in the house or it was a shared system, I would require the login every time.

If people are sharing logins on the Mac, then I can assume they are trusted enough, or they should stop doing that, because too many things are tied to our logins these days.
I’m a fan of “repudiate”. It’s got heft to it, like an antique pocket watch.
It’s more that WP Engine is successful and hasn’t meaningfully contributed back to the Wordpress project.

Which I can sympathise with. But this isn’t what open source is about both legally and morally. And there are better ways to achieve this goal than by making a mockery of the Wordpress foundation and harming end users.
Closer, but--since were already in nerdy nitpick mode here--"renounce" is like "quit" and suggests a distinct change of states. Many users will be technically incapable of "renouncing" WP Engine because they were never linked to it in the first place.
Unsoundness is considered a bug and should be reported and fixed.
Bare except + reraise is a very common Python pattern, so no, it won't be assumed to be a bug. This was actually one of the major points in the discussion of the PEP that led to its rejection.
It's actually incredible how much headlines there are regarding OpenAI--how much cap they're raising, the ins and outs of their corporate structure, how much that psychopath will be compensated--yet very little on what they've actually shipped.
I am pretty sure the core business of wordpress hosting services isn't blog anymore but all purpose brand/companies websites.

I haven't, yet, run into building rust apps that require highly complex async implementations with lifetimes etc. however excluding those situations I've found it very straightforward and easy to use. I've built some applications with a lot of moving parts, mpsc has always been a life saver.
There's a response to your comment in the post:

Depends on what exactly you're getting out of Wordpress and what you dislike about wordpress. But Ghost, Strapi, Payload, and Craft are all really good CMS.

I think the word "disavow" is almost a perfect fit here, as in "the logon page requires users to disavow WP Engine".

€ is a unit. Would you write you're ft6 tall or weigh lbs170 or that it's °F77 outside?

The weird and exceptional thing is rather that $ is put before the number, which is out of step with pronunciation.
I think in general python gets used because of laziness and vitality. It's just the dumb shit that X person learned first because Y person before then was taught it because it was easy even though it's maybe not even the right choice for example, you can't properly write a working webserver in python without {venv, uvicorn, celery etc.} and if youve ever worked in another language its like why the hell is this shit here? Because it's viral, someone didn't know better, and it stuck.

Same goes for machine learning. The ML folks at the start couldn't be bothered to learn something the least bit sophisticated. Some things are getting better. You don't need conda anymore, tensorflow wheels are out, and at least instead of shippong around .pt, checkpoint, or pickle files at least we use safetensors, but there's still python shit around, like jinja2 templates for conversations, etc.

Anyways if we want good things we need to get better about getting unstuck from these local minima.
This is a great overview but people should note that a lot of the things listed as solutions are based on pretty shaky evidence and shouldn’t be taken as gospel.

I can understand your point.

The links points however are a bit ridiculous, they're entitled to their opinion but may be surprised to find people, at the businesses they use, have opinions that differ to theirs, and these businesses aren't always well-oiled machines.
It’s a selection bias for people that are already interested in compensation and willing to divulge it. If you’re on the site, then it perfectly fits you. But it wouldn’t be representative of all software engineers from a census perspective.
Thank you for the direct actionable feedback, we will improve that messaging.

Regarding debugging your specific problem, when an API is attempted to be added, the local process attempts a 1-token request to the cheapest model with the GPT platform (in your case, gpt-4o-mini on OpenAI) to verify that the key works. Though, if the account has no balance, this request may fail even though it costs a fraction of a fraction of a penny (though anything that fails that request will cause the API key to be considered invalid).
Also if you are on a work visa you will be deported if you leave your job and don’t find anything in the couple of months after. Devastating if you’re a young family.

While I agree that FAANG data should be present/available, I will say that the only reason those companies are able to pay such amounts are due to their outsized valuations and the market shares they have captured. Vast majority of companies do not bring in per-employee revenues on par with the FAANGs, so it's not realistic to set one's definition of "decent wages" at those numbers and expect everyone else to pay them. Lots of high-flying startups made a play for fast growth and paid similarly high comp, with the end result of laying huge numbers of people off when the market demanded accountability.

TL;DR: I love being an engineer in the Bay Area, but we truly are a bubble.
changed it now so you don't need to sign up to view an itinerary. Hopefully this is an improvement! This project was just a challenge I set myself to see what I could create alongside my day job - I'm no expert of growth strategies at all (in fact I don't have one). I'm learning as I go along. If it's coming across as a poor choice of tactic - apologies! More than eager to learn from suggestions here :)
==Taxes in that system would be more like 10 men who did not hunt or gather demanded you give them food and water or they would beat your face in.==

This seems a little dramatic. Are the 10 men demanding food and water also building roads, cleaning the water, removing waste, educating children, protecting collective assets, or any of the other things that Governments do with collective taxes? If not, the analogy falls apart.
I run a couple of WP instances on a shared hosting service (not WPEngine), and honestly I have no need for the admin news feed. If I knew how to turn it off I would.

The community (including many of the maintainers) has spoken, and the PEP has been withdrawn, so apparently you don't need a BDFL for this.
Plenty of people with $400k TC at Meta have Bay Area homes. $400k TC doesn’t mean “I just got the job where’s my $2m house.” But over a career (Facebook is 20 years old) it does.
Or there are simply a lot of people who might be left handed by default but then adapt and learn to be right handed. People with rare conditions like the above might either have more trouble adapting or perhaps socially we put them more in special ed programs where they are observed more closely and stick with their default.
How do we know the next time a similar situation arises it will be dealt with in time?
This is the worst attempt at logical reasoning I've seen in a while...
Changed it so the itineraries are viewable without requiring sign up. Thanks for commenting - hope you're less grumpy tomorrow :)
> Yes, if you pay your taxes you will have less money.

The issue is that it can cause you to have less than zero money, and be forced to sell (possibly illiquid) assets solely in order pay the tax. This is kind of a major deal, e.g. you have an asset worth $20M, but not if you have to sell it right now because it would take time to find the right buyer, so instead you're forced to sell it for $8M to the only person who will buy it immediately. Some assets may not even be possible to sell in the current year, e.g. because the law requires the owner to have some specific license but the only other current licensees are rightfully prohibited from buying you out by antitrust laws. Not to say that the resulting market consolidation would be a good thing when that isn't the case.

> Your heirs should have the same cost basis as you did. And so if they sell they have pay the taxes that you never did.

What this is really encouraging is that they never sell. Which isn't even obviously going to increase tax revenue. If the daughter inherits the business and runs it successfully for a few years and then sells it for 25% over its value at transfer, the government gets tax on the 25%, and then going forward gets the taxes from the new, more productive investment she sold that one in order to buy. And the latter isn't just capital gains; better investments would also be employing more people (payroll taxes, fewer unemployment claims), paying more property taxes, etc.

If you make it so the tax basis stays low so a sale would have to pay tax on 95% of the value instead of 25%, she doesn't sell, you don't even get the tax on the 25% and the tax base stays lower because she doesn't switch to the more productive investment.
>As you can see, the Times was not the only news outlet to be confused about the distinction between cocaine and coca

Unfortunately, the author of this article is the one who is confused. Cocaine is the name of the alkaloid present in the coca leaf, much like the coffee bean contains caffeine. If they were using coca leaf, they were using cocaine.

Both React and Vue are older than 10 years old at this point. Both are older than jQuery was when they were released, and both have a better backward compatibility story. The only two real competitors not that far behind. It's about time for this crappy frontend meme to die.

Even SOAP didn't really live that long before it started getting abandoned en masse for REST.

As someone who was there in the "last 12 months" Joel mentions, what happened in enterprise is like a different planet altogether. Some of this technology had a completely different level of complexity that to this day I am not able to grasp, and the hype was totally unwarranted, unlike actual useful tech like React and Vue (or, out of that list, Java and .NET).

If the advertisers weren't winning, they would stop using those platforms.
Because a lot of those business are only possible through monumental amounts of work and/or investment and selling is way easier than being an owner-operator for years under very probable risk of failure?

Even comparatively, next to your own comment? I have no specific idea of what you object to or why, but I have learned that you are upset.
Do you want antitrust investigations? Because this is how you get antitrust investigations.

Wordpress is nearly half of the Internet. There’s a pretty compelling argument that Matt is using his market power to prevent competition in violation of the Sherman act.
Not everyone who works on faang codebase receive a decent wage. Don't forget an army of cheap external contractors sold to faang by bodyshops.
I can't speak to the merits or rightful grievances of Wordpress.org or Wordpress.com in this, but it is clear that Matt is fucking unhinged.

It allows one backward branch. Think of it like hand-rolling your OS scheduler for processes/threads. You also have to track your "program counter" yourself. As a silly example:

typedef enum state {EVEN, ODD} state_t;
state_t task1 = EVEN;
state_t task2 = EVEN;
while (1) {
switch(task1) {
case EVEN:
// do even things
task1 = ODD;
break;
case ODD:
// do odd things
task1 = EVEN;
break;
default:
fprintf(stderr, "WTF?\n");
exit(1);
}
switch(task2) {
case EVEN:
// do even things
task2 = ODD;
break;
case ODD:
// do odd things
task2 = EVEN;
break;
default:
fprintf(stderr, "WTF?\n");
exit(1);
}
}

For every "process" you've unrolled like this, you have to place it into its own switch/case or call out to a function which has similar logic (when subroutines aren't disallowed). If the process is short enough you let it execute all the way through, bigger processes would need to be broken apart like above to avoid consuming an entire cycle's time (especially important in real-time systems).
This is the answer. Most people don't know about levels.fyi.
Eternal Terminal `et` when we worked from an office where our connection would drop regularly was a life saver. It's like Mosh but less opinionated and doesn't interfere with scrollback.

The color of physical metallic gold is outside of sRGB color space. Maybe you could get close enough to fool people with some of the best modern HDR's (I don't know), but for most of the history of modern computing it didn't matter how good you were at digital animation -- no display could display the color "gold" even if you could mathematically compute the right color.
I see unwrap used all of the time on things that could be recoverable if people bothered to write the control flow. “Meh, let the program crash” is easier because unwrap is much less verbose than the match unpacking or carrying results to callers.

Rust has exceptions, they are just named Result and people just as frequently decide not to handle error results as not catch exceptions in my experience.

Typed exceptions are just as good as what rust offers IMO.

As a southerner who has also pondered this, I think it's simply the basic nature of the menu and local nature of the employees.

Food is basically just pre-made batter, eggs, potatoes, and processed meat; all of which holds well and only requires limited refrigeration. Staff is pretty basic crew: Cooks and customers can order directly at the register if waiter isn't available.

Add to that a culture of staying open at all costs and there you go.
It could also be that when fighting (pre guns) people with left handed weapons took normal right handers off guard (sort of like how in baseball a leftie might throw off other players). I can imagine in a sword battle if you are used to fighting people right handing swords that suddenly fighting a left handed person could be unexpected and disadvantage you.

Where I am going with this is that it might not be that left handedness directly correlates with violence in any way - but perhaps societies with more left handed people were simply more likely to survive in more war like times.
Because accidentally masking some BaseExceptions like `asyncio.CancelledError` can lead to things like memory/resource leaks and potentially your production app going down in pretty hard to debug ways.
My bad, I had an old number for OpenAI; at 3'600 it's actually getting close, in principle, to E1R's militia at Tilbury.

Closest equivalent in the US system would be a Brigade Combat Team, which (if SamA had the equivalent mix of occupational specialties as well as non-civilian equipment) incorporates support and sustainment elements and would be fairly leonine.

Compare early 2017 PMC Wagner.

EDIT: according to the doctrine of FM 3-96, BCT commanders (who have organic intelligence units) are not only responsible for outcomes in the field, but are also have responsibility for influencing audiences and narratives, which sounds pretty vulpine.

[NB that the notion of arming a 600 person AI company and asking them to hold a piece of ground is already at the edge of plausibility; asking a 3'600 person AI company to act as a BCT would require a clearly implausible acquisition of process knowledge]
