I want to make sure you understand that games as art genre and old resource limited and low level programs are far away from each other now. And moving in different directions at light speed. Unless one builds something that should be donated to a museum on release one does not need more of C++/SDL.

I say that as someone who keeps working as mostly C++ contributor into internal game engines for various projects.

I would want people to look forward and make works of art that expand what we thought was possible more instead of 'learning low level programming'.
We have been using HTMX to create performant storefronts and the results are satisfactory.

https://farmrio.deco.site/ is one of the largest clothing retailers in Brazil and all the frontend interactions use HTMX, alongside a partial rendering strategy we developed.

Yep... You nailed it. It really bums me out. There's a lot you can do with simple 90s era graphics programming while still using the newer APIs, but you'll hit bottlenecks very quickly, or run into architectural issues as soon as you want to implement modern rendering techniques.

> clearly evolution refines the architecture of the "natural neural network," not the data

This doesn't pass the smell test. Common sense and experience suggest animals have both built in functionality and a built in ability to learn and they seem to work together. Babies don't learn to cry for food, it works right out of the box. Some animals work with practically zero parental guidance.

This is a pretty silly statement overall. Just being alive and paying attention should give someone a sense for how silly it is.
Just a reminder that you're leaving your biometrics basically on every surface you touch, and your DNA pretty much everywhere you drop a hair.
An interesting read. I've been a Monzo customer ever since the sign-up process was "come to the office and we'll give you your card and help you get the Beta version of the app installed" and it's been interesting, exciting (and sad, in some ways) to see it grow and morph into what it is today.

Back then, you were more likely than not to get an engineer dealing with your customer support queries. There was a Slack community, a forum community and it felt very much like a scrappy little start-up that was truly making a difference in what - in the UK - had been an industry dominated by companies that didn't really care about user experience or modern technology (I'd had the misfortune of doing work for some of those banks). They even had an API which customers could use to get their own data!

The pace of progress was rapid, too. I remember asking Tom if he'd ever consider offering business current accounts, since the competition was pretty dire at the time - the answer back then was a "no, we're focussing on retail" - but I'm happy to use my Monzo business account daily now!

I had the opportunity to work on a proposal and sit down with some folks from one of Monzo's partnerships team a few weeks back for a potential collaboration which ultimately didn't end up going forwards. The staff were lovely, but it didn't feel like quite the same company I'd visited in-person years ago to collect my pre-paid card from. I guess that's something that inevitably happens as companies scale up.
I guess the next step is to see if you're getting those mega activations as he describes.

My impression from all that I've heard is that you should have a backup retention policy, but otherwise there's no set upper bound on how long that may be. Not that the text of the GDPR breathes a word of it, though, everything's just a rat's nest of exemptions suggested by various authorities and other parties that haven't been tested in court.

1) If you run the numbers on how many man-hours and cost it takes to moderate a popular platform, what you end up with is a situation where small players (like Social Media Startups) can simply never afford to get into the game, because of the moderation burdeon.

2) The other problem regarding censorship is that it has to be done by humans, and humans are not objective and benevolent. All humans will apply their own political ideologies towards their censorship decisions. This is true because your sense of morality is involved. That's what happened at Old Twitter. They were all Silicon Valley leftist moderators, and so they deemed conservative speech "immoral" and kicked people off for things even as mundane as misgendering or mere "impoliteness" to some "protected class". It got WAY out of hand. Thank God Musk came along and freed everyone.

Some of the latter examples aren't cases where a programming language or library should just "do the right thing" but cases of ambiguity where you need locale information to decide what's appropriate, which isn't "just as wrong as the C++ version" it's a whole other problem. It isn't wrong to capitalise A-acute as a capital A-acute, it's just not always appropriate depending on the locale.

The book has a picture of the IBM 2321 Data Cell Drive, 1964 to 1975.[1]
That's an exotic peripheral for the original IBM System/360, a tape strip library. Before disks got big, there were various mechanical kludges to select storage media from a library and move them to a read/write unit.
IBM had several such mechanical systems. This one was a commercial product with modest success.

Other big social media companies generally own their own infra, so they they don't need to get into existential crises when their landlords go looking into their activities.

> But regarding your last paragraph. Sure let's agree that everything you said was right. So what? It still shows that AWS does cut off consumers based on politics.

Not sure how you're able contort this argument together. Parler was involved in crimes. AWS didn't need to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt like the justice system did, they merely had to have a good faith belief crimes were happening on Parler and Parler wasn't making good faith efforts to mitigate them. They didn't merely fail to moderate, they basically told Amazon to kick rocks when they were provided with evidence of crimes on their platform.

It's honestly kind of insulting to cry about political repression when it was just garden variety crime the whole time.

> React and Htmx do not interact nicely.

I want to dig into this a bit. React of course maintains its own rendered part of the DOM and htmx trying to reach into and change any part of that DOM is not going to go over well. It's just going to be replaced with React's rendering again on the next render cycle.

htmx provides two points at which it can interact with other libraries or frameworks: DOM events and CSS classes. I don't see any problem with classes, but React's synthetic events would probably not work well with htmx (or any other non-React library really). Maybe frameworks like Preact which use real DOM events would work better.
I'm not saying they provide cover. But such a company could provide cover better than most.

I often run into this when I do stuff in Python and forget to add encoding="utf-8" to open(). I think they're finally changing this to the default.

Actually I ran into a separate issue on Windows where Python will automatically replace the line endings depending on the OS. So I had to specify newline='\n' as an argument to open() or it would alter the newlines to Windows format in the output.

(My fault for not running it in WSL, I guess.)
What exactly do you mean when you say "FROM database"?

If a "database" is a single table I would be surprised, however, if "database" is a view then potentially there is a lot that needs to go on under the hood to determine which 10 rows should be returned - particularly if something is doing a group by and cannot constrain it through any where constraints.
The underground feeder to your house is likely to be HDPE actually - which is chemically similar to PEX.

Both are made from Polyethylene, which is the exact same stuff oil (including food), gas, wax, natural gas, etc is made off. i.e. you body handles that all the time.
What you might be missing in your interpretation is that “fictional,” didn’t mean what you’re saying it does.

The OP meant that the app ratings aren’t a measure of a tangible quality or effect. Like “heat,” or “number of tickets.” The unit of measure and what it means is “fictional,” in the sense that the scale and units are completely made up and arbitrary.

They’re not saying that it’s fictional in the sense that it doesn’t exist or isn’t real.

They’re aptly noting that by forcing developers to optimize for this rating system, app stores are incentivizing developers to support only the most recent OS releases and deprecate support for older devices.

The ratings have real consequences.
It's called trusting your employees, especially if they are engineers. Maybe that's why "nobody wants to work anymore".

> None of the primitives are necessarily too complicated, but off the top of my head things like /: \: (encode, decode), all the forms of @ \ / . etc, don't have directly equivalent numpy functions. Of course you could reimplement the entire language, but that's a bit too much work.

@ and . can be done in numpy through ufunc. Once you turn your unary or binary function into a ufunc using food = np.frompyfunc, you then have foo.at(a, np.s_[fancy_idxs], (b?)) which is equivalent to @[a, fancy_idxs, f, b?]. The other ones are, like, 2 or 3 lines of code to implement, and you only ever have to do it once.

vs and sv are just pickling and unpickling.

> Tables aren't niche,

Yes, sorry, I meant that tables are only clearly superior in the q ecosystem in niche situations.

> I looked at cloudpickle, and it seems to only do serialisation, I assume you'd need something else to do IPC too? The benefit of k's IPC is it's pretty seamless.

Python already does IPC nicely through the `multiprocess` and `socket` modules of the standard library. The IPC itself is very nice in most usecases if you use something like multiprocessing.Queue. The thing that's less seamless is that the default pickling operation has some corner cases, which cloudpickle covers.

> Im not sure what you mean by inefficient hacks, generally you wouldn't try to construct some complicated ADT in k anyway, and if you need to you can still directly pass a dictionary or list or whatever your underlying representation is.

It's a lot nicer and more efficient to just pass around typed objects than dictionaries. Being able to have typed objects whose types allow for method resolution and generics makes a lot of code so much simpler in Python. This in turns allows a lot of libraries and tricks to work seamlessly in Python and not in q. A proper type system and colocation of code with data makes it a lot easier to deal with unknown objects - you don't need nested external descriptors to tag your nested dictionary and tell you what it is.

I would argue that, when you get to the scale of an Airbnb, or Amazon, which is where I think the "customer-obsessive" terminology comes from, you need to move beyond focusing solely on your customers. Your business is having a social impact. The house next door to me right now has had contractors going in and out of it for the past three weeks to remove and replace the entire interior because of damage done by a short-term renter. Construction has absolutely boomed around me but nearly all of the new units are becoming short-term rentals. The neighborhood is either empty most of the time, or full of drunken idiots making a bunch of noise, getting the police called on them at 3 AM, and leaving the streets and sidewalks full of trash and broken bottles.

Airbnb may very well be making its customers happy, but when so many of those customers are 21 year-olds looking for party houses they can trash and fundamentally changing the character and safety of entire neighborhoods, is that really the most important thing? Even as the founder or executive or both of a business, you're still part of a human community and you have a duty to that community not to worsen the lives of countless bystanders in order to delight the few who happen to pay you. Make products that are valuable in general, to everybody, not products that are valuable only to your customers at everyone else's expense.
