I can judge the utility of a black box oracle on it's own merits, without needing to know whether it's human, and without being accused of anthromorphizing it.

If I've observed the answers of the oracle to be biased, or useful/correct in some circumstances and not in others, then this is something to take into account when deciding whether or not this is a useful source to pay attention to.

From the POV of whether the output of the black box is useful, it doesn't make any difference whether what's in the box is a human, an LLM, or a rabid monkey. It is what it is, and I'll judge it on it's merits.

Now, YOU may care what's in the box, for some reason, but that's on you.
GSheets are honestly a nightmare to use in case you have a nontrivial volume of data to work on. It won't do for most enterprise uses, especially in BI.

I recall how many hoops I had to get into to convert one data dump into anything readable on it. And the update latency goes up to several minutes for the same job that Excel would take barely a second to finish. No non-stupid employer will have their team use GSheets for anything serious no matter what "youngsters" may demand. Also, on a side note I haven't seen a single instance where any business decision was made keeping into account what young employees were originally familiar with.
Nah, I think OP has reached his idea of pinnacle. When you set out to do a thing, and achieve that thing, it's all downhill unless you set out for more challenging goals or switch up. People often get depressed, after getting their dream job, getting promotions, having a successful business exit. It's normal. When you realize this is normal, it makes it easier to embrace it and figure the next step forward. It's the right balance of the struggle that keeps us feeling alive and on the edge. Too much and you become hopelessly depressed, no struggle and you feel empty and depressed too.
Are there any studies about the harm of a craze in non-sweet diets? While I would generally agree with this "confirmation" based on my understanding of diabetes, I wonder if it's actually sugar that is the problem here.

For example, what about the massive amount of caffeine in soda, chocolate, and other "sweet diet" food? Or, what about just general over-consumption of food in postwar regardless of what it is (which is much more a societal issue than anything else)
Because traditionally good software engineers in an interview would treat each other as colleagues, not turn the meeting into a one-way hazing.

The CS101 hazing interview style was popularized by some CS students with no work experience, and then cargo-culted as religious rituals by others who also didn't have any other conception of what interviews for experienced professionals should be.
What is at stake for you here? Where does the resentment come from? Like.. people write books, some people read them and get something out of them, whether something critical or something positive. Reading things you don't agree with can help you understand youself and your commitments better. No one is trying to pull a fast one on you specifically by writing a book.

Like great, you are scientific realist, we get it. Congratulations. That's all it needs to be.

I just don't know how you can even live a peaceful life just getting angry that there is "bad" philosophy out there. Who cares? The line between "good" philosophy and "bad" is fraught and has been talked about since there's been philosophy (in the West). Hence the figure of the sophist for Plato being absolutely essential.

Imagine Socrates with no Thrasymachus. Nietzsche without Hegel. Wittgenstein without Russell. "Bad" philosophy is always only a future gift to a good one. We should be giddy in our tear downs of other thinkers, not angry and bitter.

It just really doesn't make any sense to be like this!

I imagine it has more to do with the smoking and drinking rates than sugar. I very clearly remember an aunt of mine losing her mind in the 90s about me drinking coke, while smoking when she was pregnant.
The most important thing for me was to lay down at the same time no matter what, even if I rolled around for 2 hours. Also no stimulants of any sort after 6pm. I stick to the Schedule though, even if it has pissed off some of my friends. If they want me to alleviate it they get me on Friday night, or nothing. I think you have to have a “day off” day for just about everything whether it’s exercise or a diet.

Just look at what happened to Altera under Intel. Preacquisition it was similar in size to Xilinx. Now it's just a shadow of its former self, latest few quarters shows it in the red. The person they have in charge of it. Sandra Rivera was formerly the head of HR.

From 2019 to 2021, Rivera was Intel’s chief people officer, leading the company’s Human Resources organization worldwide.

I heard a rumor that Jensen wouldn't agree to the acquisition unless he became CEO of the combined entity.
Potentially worth pointing out that Go is memory safe only when single threaded (races can corrupt memory), and this kind of application is very likely to use multiple threads.

But I do also generally expect it to be safer than C++. The race detector prevents a lot of badness quite effectively because it's so widely used.
People like Charles Dickens books.

The first publisher to get a hold of one would have a massive advantage.

Publisher pays Charles Dickens to only provide his newest work to them. Many publishers want this privilege, there is a bidding war.

Publisher sells millions in the first week, eventually other publishers get in on the action but it takes time to typeset, print and ship the books. The book is the talk of the town, consumers want one now.

Publishing house doesn't make outsized profits years after the authors death and instead has to compete on the quailty of its publishing in the free market.

Rent seeker has to get a factory job or dies. The market is brimming with high quailty editions of each authors work available to everyone at a price point they can afford.

I generally go to bet by 12 and get up at 6, generally, I think it’s the set schedule, not necessarily getting up at an exact time no matter what. However, I’ll bring up not everyone is the same, so people have to experiment, but not give up too early, at least a month and keeping honest notes on it, rather than relying on very fallible human memory. Excel is great for this amongst other things.

As for tigers, I am not sure - there are some safety standards you'd need to comply to so that your neighbors don't become meals for Fluffy.

As for cannabis, all you need to do is move to one of the more enlightened states that allow cultivation. Given time, I believe all states will recognize the benefits it brings.

That's incorrect. Not only is the web app drastically trimmed of features, but is also in no way a match to the native app in performance.

You can test for yourself - try doing some complex operations on large datasets on both. See which one performs better.
I was referring to Early Modern English, aka the 1700s.

The earliest written evidence of the word "bug" used in this context is from the 19th century. By that time, most machines were made from metallic parts.

Of course, more primitive machines were still using wooden parts, as they do today! Of course, the word "bug" might have been used in this context centuries earlier, without producing any written records!

But let's not kid ourselves. OP had no evidence of their theory whatsoever. They just made up a story.

I can make up an equally "likely" theory: maybe people were often saying "oh, I've made a big mistake", and "big mistake" turned into "bug mistake", which was then shortened to "bug".
I assumed it comes from jQuery defaulting to $ as an alias for the jQuery function.
Yep. I hate to be this negative, but…Christ, security ‘researchers’ will really grasp at the most remote straws for a bit of notoriety. I’d respect this more if it were documented honestly. How it’s been done here however has just left me rolling my eyes.
> "foo { …

That should probably not be one token.

> My view on this is that it shouldn’t be interpreted as code being embedded inside strings

I’m not sure exactly what you’re proposing and how it is different. You still can’t parse it as a regular lexical grammar.

How does this change how you highlight either?

Whatever you call it, to the lexer it is a special string, it has to know how to match it, the delimiters are materially different than concatenation.

I might be being dense but I’m not sure what’s formally distinct.
>jQuery and its cousins are great, and by all means use them if it makes it easier to develop your application.

>If you're developing a library on the other hand, please take a moment to consider if you actually need jQuery as a dependency. Maybe you can include a few lines of utility code, and forgo the requirement. If you're only targeting more modern browsers, you might not need anything more than what the browser ships with.
> If you follow those two basic things, websites cannot hurt your machine.

Oh yes they can. Quite a bunch of "helper" apps - printer drivers are a bit notorious IME - open up local HTTP servers, and not all of them enforce CORS properly. Add some RCE or privilege escalation vulnerability in that helper app and you got yourself an 0wn-from-the-browser exploit chain.
after all of the headaches in the late 90s/early 2000s with truncating password hash functions, i'm just a little surprised that this sort of thing would still be an issue.

i understand performance concerns and design trade offs, but i would expect a secure hashing function in 2024 to do proper message scheduling and compression or return errors when truncations are happening.

i suppose 90s culture is hip again these days, so maybe this does make sense?

Has anyone read the book? The New Yorker had some excerpts from his letters recently (around the "awakenings" era) and they seemed a bit haphazardly put together at first glance - more of interest to a literature scholar than a casual reader. Should I just stick with his actual books, or would a casual reader enjoy the letters too?

Keynote thrives because Apple does their in-person stage presentations using it.

> Any halfway decent CMS (or just plain old HTML and CSS) can easily create a good-looking, responsive, accessible webpage with a fraction of the work.

Easily? Because it's not a fraction of the work. Let's just assume you mean to use someone else's solution (of the literal thousands, each with their own quirks), to make your bespoke website.

PDFs have a standard. Libraries to resize are not difficult to find. Most people are able to run a PDF through their printer driver for a resize, because it's a solved problem.

I would say creating a job that outputs a bunch of PDFs is going to be easier than a build system for different devices (CMS or not), every time.
Try eating mostly honey and roots and see how much you can over consume. The problem in US is the variety of food and how engineered they are to be hyper palatable. Snacks are designed to pump sugar into the blood stream, with just enough salt, fat, or carbonation (in drinks) to mask just how much sugar is in everything. That's the reason why warm flat soda tastes disgustingly sweet.

It's not just sugar, but the amount of it, and how fast it is consumed, and how and when do we expend energy (walking after meals directly consume blood glucose b/c calve muscles don't have a glycogen store) impacts fat buildup and T2D. Check out books by Robert Lustig on the subject.
Thanks! Definitely keen to start something again eventually, but in no rush right now :)

Here's a stretch goal: use typescript template string magic to correctly infer the type of elements. For instance you can statically infer that $('div#name') will be a HTMLDivElement.
I see. Diabetes is downstream from chronic inflammation, so something is causing us to be inflammated at scale and that is why diabetes is becoming more commonplace. So differing response to sugar is one factor of N possible affecting variables

Thanks for the feedback! What OS and browsers are you using, please? Did you receive any error messages?

It worked fine for me with correct messages, including across networks (I tested from my mobile phone network to my home network, not only just on the same wifi connection or same computer).

It should work in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari across any device and operating system. Normally you don't need to open any firewall ports either. It uses WebRTC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC

> 2. The state of the art in SPAs moves so quickly it feels to me like you have to spend a significant amount of your productive time staying in place on the treadmill before you can even consider creating value for your end users.

The churn that people complain about is coming from the MPA/hybrid side. Where do you get this idea that you're seeing way more innovation on the SPA side?
Why? Grok is nothing but another LLM and LLMs have proven to be quite the productivity booster. You can see it this way: previously we only knew how to use supercomputers to crunch numbers to simulate stuff like fluid dynamics, which is useful, but only in a limited domain. Now we can use supercomputers to "simulate" the workflows of 95% of the office drones worldwide (us included). I think that's a MASSIVE paradigm changing leap forward.
I really wish it was a native script to use qs and qsa, rather than something I have to add.

> attach to write a file with a name that is meaningful to something else on your system.

Yes, this is what I meant, e.g. writing to ~/.bash_profile or so. Forbidding queries to do something like this could have a large negative effect on the capability of the database engine to its users.
I don't buy that for one second. If they cared for software developers they would have never moved the ESC key into the touchbar back when that was a thing.

Also if they really cared, they would operate/manage brew and integrate it better than have people spend their free time to make apple's products more usable for software developers.
“… the rest is developers wanking off …”

Hahaha this made me chuckle out loud.
Yeah Windows does the same thing. It's something indie game devs run into. If you release on Steam, Steam launches your game. Otherwise you have to pay a certificate authority to sign your game or Windows Smart Screen will do the same "this code is sketchy. Are you really really really sure you want to run it?" thing MacOS does for non-notarized apps.
You could assign ELO at the group level. It will increase the number of possible groups by C(N, g) where N is the number of players and g is the group size. It could work if the groups are stable enough.

If you have individual ELOs, you could pre-seed the ranking using averages and then let the algorithm take over.

It’s ironic that you cite the one thing that being bad at hasn’t held Excel back. ;)
Fair enough. For what it’s worth, I fixed shoulder problems with a combination of mattress, pillow and arm position thought the latter is less important.

I don’t have a flat face (yet?) though I can see how that could be annoying.

Lots of people *believe* that life "emerged" from inert chemical reactions.

Others *believe* that real intelligence can "emerge" from a binary logic playback device (aka a computer as we know).

The obvious problem with these *beliefs* --- they are lacking any real scientific basis. Until someone definitively proves it is scientifically possible, these will remain *science fiction*.
I have my personal weekly budget spreadsheet open on my laptop at all times. I balance my checking account almost daily to know where all the money is going. I did pay for Monarch to see if it would be better and although it’s nice, Excel is still just better.

One of my favorite tabs is taking a high interest loan or credit card and increasing the payment amounts (even a little) to reduce the overall impact of the interest rate, something a lot of people don’t understand.

You will pry Excel from my cold dead hands.
A cryptographic signature (e.g. pgp) seems prudent. In addition to tls, I mean.
I have ADHD. I am not a doctor, and I don't have any real authority on the subject beyond my personal experience. But one thing I have observed about discussions on ADHD is that people with ADHD tend to fall on a spectrum, with a wide range of severity and presentation of symptoms. So I think it is unfortunate that these discussions make such broad, sweeping claims about what ADHD is and isn't, and what impact it really has.

I can't speak for anyone else, so I will just speak for myself: I am a college student, and my normal experience is having to fight tooth and nail for capturing every deadline, every little detail - the actual "difficulty" of the class is not what makes it difficult for me. I have had to construct systems around my symptoms: an "inbox" notebook for deadlines, a complex to-do list system, a system of pages upon pages where I break down large tasks into smaller ones, because only then will it be possible to get them done. A sleep tracking notebook, a notebook for exercising, a time blocking journal, and so on. I manage to get by, and I get good grades, but every morning I wake up prepared for war. I am in a permanent state of playing blitz chess against my mind's most insatiable distractions - a hard problem to solve with a system, since the only thing making me use a system is myself. I don't use TikTok or any other social media, which has garnered more than a few odd looks from my friends over the years, but frankly I consider it completely necessary.

I don't think about my ADHD as a part of my identity, or a part of my personality. It is, however, a disorder. Unless the world magically reconstructs itself around these symptoms, this will continue to be the case, because I simply do not have the same abilities as the average person in any given task of attention or impulse. Of course, the "average person" doesn't really exist; everyone has their own issues, their own reasons to wake up prepared for war. Everyone has something going on that deeply concerns them, whether others know it or not. But, for me, ADHD would not make sense if it weren't a disorder. It is a constant disabling factor in my life. Given that ADHD is one of the most well-researched and scientifically demonstrated neurological conditions, I doubt it is going anywhere anytime soon. But my ADHD is not a normal way to interface with the world. It was never "solved" with positive reinforcement from teachers, nor is it restricted to the classroom. Such a fundamental issue is not solved with basic accommodations - there is no silver bullet against the monkey in my head.

All of that being said, this is just my own experience, and my own thinking. I'm sorry for the long wall of text, but a lot of these discussions take the person out of the disorder, and consider broad swaths of the population according to the commenters' personal sociological constructions of the world, so I wanted to contribute my own individual experience here.
