A university degree in any field is merely the admission ticket to the relevant profession.

Based on my observations and experiences (and I have decades of that), you need to:

1. Develop the ability to learn fast in the real world. Not theory, but practical aspects.

2. Have the willingness to see problems and effectively applying your knowledge and experience to come up with viable solutions which people will pay for.

3. Develop the ability to effectively network, communicate with people. Mainly to listen and understand. Building empathetic connections is what makes relationships endure.

4. Commit to a domain / niche in which you become a recognized expert. Generally, the more specialized, the more lucrative. However, if you pick a soon to be dead-end, then you need to restart from scratch.
From the Book: "But there's another reason: I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time — when we're a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and religiously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between
what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness"
You are absolutely right about separation between VFR and IFR aircraft. I stand corrected.
For Linux that's true. But Microsoft never added SCTP to Windows; not being beholden to Microsoft and older OS must have been part of the calculus?
I think that the SpaceX EVA suits are just a little too sleek and modern yet bland. Like default Unreal Engine spacesuit assets.

Pleasantly surprised to see these spacesuits look classic yet beautiful. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Italian fashion designers did a good job.

I have no view on the technical merits of the suits or the program.
In order to attack UDP, you have to block all routes through which traffic might flow. This is hard; remember, the internet tries to be resilient.

In order to attack TCP, all you have to do is spy on a single packet (very easy) to learn the sequence number, then you can inject a wrench into the cogs and the endpoints will reject all legitimate traffic from each other.
Current? Only 5%? You're talking about 15 million Americans jobs at an average of $60k/yr each. $900 billion / year. What's in 3 years? 5? All of the developed world not just US? Like COVID showed, people are so bad at seeing what's coming on the exponential curve.

What evidence do you offer that there is no chance of SpaceX succeeding in spite of Elon Musk? I really don't have enough detailed knowledge about his actual contributions to the various companies he runs.

But given the sheer number of projects at the companies he runs I don't find it hard to believe that he is largely not responsible for the technical successes. Again, I have no evidence for it, but it would not be hard to believe. Do you have anything other than faith for that statement?
QUIC is pretty much what serious online games have been doing in the last 20 years.
You're right, the haiti numbers were way off.

According to Haiti's Central Bank, total goods exports in 2022 were 1.07 Billion. GDP per capita estimated at $1,748.3 USD. [1]

Cuba is harder to pin down. OEC says they had 1.07 Billion in goods exports in 2022[2], whereas the WTO puts it around 2+ Billion[3]. The World Bank puts GDP per capita at 9,499.6 in 2020 (a bad year)[4], but Cuba doesn't really have a GDP and it changed its monetary system in 2021, so an economist who specializes in Cuba should weigh in here.

But in general, even with the lack of transparency on the Cuban economy, it's quite clear that with Haiti's complete breakdown of government and its historically low GDP per capita, Cuba and its people are in a much healthier economic state and are a much more attractive trading/business partner than Haiti.

As others have said, I use a combination of LocalSend on all my devices (Win64, Linux, iOS…) and a Syncthing folder that I call QuickSync and added as a shortcut to all of my file managers a few years ago. Syncthing, in particular, works so well that you don’t even notice it, until you have a file conflict. It’s a great solution to have files synced easily.
> The only issue is that wiring your home for fiber is stupidly expensive

What do you mean by that? My home isnt wired for ethernet. I can buy 30m of CAT6 cable for £7, or 30m of fibre for £17. For a home use, that's a decent amount of cable, and even spending £100 on cabling will likely run cables to even the biggest of houses.

I’m amazed that Matt got away with claiming the Wordpress.org/.com duality for so long. Recent events have revealed that the dividing line between the two is virtually non-existent and Mullenweg used whichever organization was most convenient for pushing his agenda at the moment. M

Mullenweg’s recent attempt to dunk on DHH for not capturing enough value from the Rails community is the most succinct mask-off moment of the recent events, in my opinion. He thought he was making a great point by criticizing DHH for not being extractive enough from the rails community. Instead, he only revealed his true thought process about how being at the center of an open source community should be a license to extract from said community. Really puts recent events into perspective.
That seems a necessary but not sufficient condition, since a pre-emptively multitasking OS may do this after almost any instruction.

Not only that, but any OS with virtual memory will almost certainly context-switch on a hard page fault (and perhaps even on a soft page fault, I don't know). So it would seem that teading memory is sufficient to be "blocking", by your criterion.
because for this hypothetical niche, Claude is better than llama. now whether or not that's actually true, I don't know, but while it would be nice to sell shovels in a gold rush, not everyone has the privilege of being able to do that.

Yes; WordPress is trademarked. WP is not. WordPress's trademark policy, until late last month, stated "The abbreviation 'WP' is not covered by the WordPress trademarks and you are free to use it in any way you see fit."

That is amazing! I tried something not dissimilar, but only with a single picture: I took an AI model (I think it was GPT 4o, don't remember as I'm using several) and asked it:

And it could the difference between a legit screenshot and a phishing attempt. Without me telling it which site name was legit or not.

And it was pretty detailed: "There's an 'l' in interactlvebrokers.ie" that is made to look like an 'i'". Or something like that.

> end-to-end tests should have the best maintainability score.

End to end tests encompass far more total details than implementation or unit tests. If you're testing a website, moving a button breaks a test. Making the button have a confirmation breaks the test. The database being slower breaks the tests. The number of items in a paginated list changing breaks the tests. You're testing not just the behavior and output of interfaces, you're testing how they're composed. The marketing team putting a banner in the wrong place breaks the tests. The product team putting a new user tour popover on the wrong button breaks the tests. The support team enabling the knowledge base integration in your on-page support widget breaks the tests.

Moreover, the cost of fixing the tests is also often higher, because end to end tests are necessarily slower and more complicated. Tests often become flaky because of a larger number of dependencies on external systems. It's often not clear why a test is failing, because the test can't possibly explain why its assertion is no longer true ("The button isn't there" vs "The button now has a slightly different label").
Can you also use it to send files to, say, a colleague in the same office?

If the data is a roughly uniform distribution across the dimension space, then yes absolutely.

If, however, there is significant clustering within the dimension space, and those clusters are taken as groups, then it seems valid.

I would tend to be generous to the researchers and assume a mostly discrete clustering until I see otherwise. To apply grouping like this without discrete clusters would be unprofessionally naive on their part.

To the caller of that specific function, nothing. To the entire program, the difference is that other, useful CPU work can be done in the meantime.

This might not matter at all, or it might be the difference between usable and impractically slow software.

YMMV of course.

This is fantastic news. Between the Svelte 5 RC and Deno 2, I’ve been really enjoying working with the JS/TS ecosystem for the first time in a long time — it’s just been vaguely difficult keeping up with the (minor) tweaks in the RCs along the way. Congratulations to the team :).
Assuming there's the kind of guard rails as in other industries where this is true, absolutely. (In other words, proper licensing and credentialing, and the ability to prevent a deployment legally)

I would also say that if something gets signed off on by management, that carries an implicit transfer of accountability up the chain from the individual contributor to whoever signed off.
To be pedantic, none of those machines are “servers”; they are all desktop machines.
There’s a better way to frame this issue: being able to consistently label a characteristic is only useful if it can help in identifying the underlying mechanism or is helpful in choosing an effective treatment.

A whole lot of mental health knowledge fits into the category of repeatably identifiable categories of dubious usefulness.

Think phrenology: it is indeed possible to categorize the shape of people’s head in a statistically valid way… it just has nothing to do with their mental health.
I feel like I have seen this idea a few times but don't recall where but stuff posted via HN.

To me intuitively using floats to make ultimatelty boolean like decisions seems wasteful but that seemed like the way it had to be to have diffetentiable algorithms.
Anonymization of location data does not work: a large-scale study (2011)
Your take is understandable and not surprising on a site full of software developers. Somehow, the general software industry has ingrained this pessimistic and fatalistic dogma that says bugs are inevitable and there’s nothing you can do to prevent them. Since everyone believes it, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy and we just accept it as some kind of law of nature.

Holding software developers (or their companies) liable for defects would definitely kill off a part of the industry: the very large part that YOLOs code into production and races to get features released without rigorous and exhaustive testing. And why don’t they spend 90% of their time testing and verifying and proving their software has no defects? Because defects are inevitable and they’re not held accountable for them!
To paraphrase Cory Doctorow, never underestimate: 1. The desire of your CEO to remove as many people as possible from the payroll, and 2. Their willingness to replace a high quality but expensive customer experience with a middling but cheap one when industry consolidation has removed enough competitive pressure.
This is probably one of the better run parts of Artemis, considering that it's a fixed price milestone-based contract awarded after NASA realized they were getting nowhere on their own suit after spending 13 years working on them, with the OIG predicting each of those original suits would cost $500M with the way they were going.

The least value for money parts are pretty much entirely SLS related, with most of them involving blank checks handed out to legacy contractors with no real consequences for poor performance.

You are down playing it way too much. It’s way better than nothing. You also don’t seem to understand how ADS-B works. There are two kinds ground to air and air to air, air to air latency is measured in milliseconds and in the case of converging airplanes the latency would be near zero since you are receiving the other airplanes broadcasts directly.

Having TCAS in small GA airplanes is never going to be possible. The cost is too high and the performance differences are too great. You don’t need an RA to make a decision, TAs are completely sufficient in GA and ADS-B works quite well for that.

Not sure why you would care about this while flying formation. TCAS isn’t helping you there either.

Neom’s demand for steel meant “we are 20 percent of the global steel market. If you look at our demand in elevators, cement and so on … put simply, Neom is going to be the largest customer over the next few decades,” Al Moneef said.

It's all in the context of planned demand.

Somehow I doubt those savings would be passed along to the individual car buyer. Surely buying a car insured by the manufacturer would be much more expensive than buying the car plus your own individual insurance, because the car company would want to profit from both.
> But Microsoft never added SCTP to Windows

Windows already has an in-kernel QUIC implementation (msquic.sys), used for SMB/CIFS and in-kernel HTTP. I don’t think it is accessible from user-space - I believe user-space code uses a separate copy of the same QUIC stack that runs in user-space (msquic.dll), but there is no reason in-principle why Microsoft couldn’t expose the kernel-mode implementation to user space

Just represent it in a 4x4 multidimensional array that corresponds to the metric tensor.
Motorcycles account for a further 15% of all fatalities in a typical year. Weather is often a factor. Road design is sometimes a factor, remembering several rollover crashes that ended in a body of water and no one in the vehicle surviving. Likewise ejections during fatalities due to lack of seatbelt use is also noticeable.

Once you dig into the data you see that almost every crash, at this point in history, is really a mini-story detailing the confluence of several factors that turned a basic accident into something fatal.

Also, and I only saw this once, but if you literally have a heart attack behind the wheel, you are technically a roadway fatality. The driver was 99. He just died while sitting in slow moving traffic.

Which brings me to my final point which is the rear seats in automobiles are less safe than the front seats. This is true for almost every vehicle on the road. You see _a lot_ of accidents where two 40 to 50 year old passengers are up front and two 70 to 80 year old passengers are in back. The ones up front survive. One or both passengers in the back typically die.
There's a conflation going on here which is a blocker, shall we say, for understanding the two sides of this coin. The antonym of async is not blocking, it is synchronous. The antonym of blocking I/O is evented I/O.

Stackless coroutines à la Rust's async are a perfectly reasonable control flow primitive to use in 'blocking' contexts, which properly aren't blocking at all since they aren't doing I/O, I'm thinking of generator patterns here.

It's also entirely possible, and not even difficult, to use evented I/O in synchronous function-calls-function style code. You poll. That's the whole deal, somewhere in the tick, you check for new data, if it's there, you eat it. This does not require async.

I found the "what if the real abstraction leak was the friends we made along the way" portion of the argument. Unconvincing. When people complain about async leaking, what they mean is that they would like to be able to use libraries without have to start a dummy tokio in the background. That's what's getting peas in the mashed potatoes, that's what annoys people.

"Abstraction leak" is a sort of idiomatic way to complain about this. Focusing on the slogan does nothing to address the substance, and "have you considered... that, a function, might take a while, and perhaps that, that is an 'abstraction leak'? eh, eh?" is. Well it probably seemed clever when it was being drafted.
This is the opposite in JavaScript (and similar single-threaded languages) where sync code is atomic and normally can't do I/O.
We are taking about the same thing: unpredictability. If you and everyone else can't predict what your car will do, then that seems objectively unsafe to me. It also sounds like we agree with each other.
A characteristic autistic trait is having a narrow and deep tunnel of attention.

Perhaps so narrow and deep that you're unable to learn language, because it requires a more holistic processing, and less focus on individual components.

Perhaps so narrow and deep that you're overwhelmed by sensation, processing every touch, sound, sight stimulus individually, leaving little energy to put everything together.

Or perhaps only so narrow and deep that you are extremely focused on math. Or collecting insects. Or memorizing train routes.

I don't know if this is an explanation. But it is extremely plausible for a wide variety of outcomes to be usefully categorized by a singular trait.
