I'm not exactly sure where we are misunderstanding each other. I just wanted to point out that volume is a goal generally of commodity goods. I see opportunities in niche markets that don't rely on volume for profitability.

Specific NAND and DRAM are only needed because general purpose computing production currently relies on large volumes of RAM and techniques developed a market to meet the need.

A niche market could solve computing problems that avoid NAND and DRAM by solving computing problems with another method.

The PC market as it stands right now has developed through commodity solutions but that isn't the only way to skin a cat.
> also "jacio"

It'd be a better example of an exception if it unambiguously started with a vowel. This is sort of the reverse of the case I pointed to above, where "habito" does start with a vowel, or rather it almost does, enough to trigger the same changes.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/com-

> Before vowels and aspirates, it is reduced to co-; before -g-, it is assimilated to cog- or con-; before -l-, assimilated to col-; before -r-, assimilated to cor-; before -c-, -d-, -j-, -n-, -q-, -s-, -t-, and -v-, it is assimilated to con-, which was so frequent that it often was used as the normal form.

I and J aren't different letters in Latin, but they are different kinds of sound, if sometimes only hazily different. Same goes for U and V. By modern convention we have convention and conjecture; the hazy difference seems sufficient to explain why the Romans left us every variety of the compound, from coniicio through conicio to coicio. A naive analysis (the most I can really do) would say that coniicio comes from someone who sees iacio as starting with a consonant, coicio comes from someone who doesn't, and conicio is a reduced form of coniicio.

Most existing front-end frameworks are already low-code by any standards, I'd say.

Most backend, integrations, automations require some degree of business logic, which requires algorithmic thinking, and this in turns requires engineers - there aren't many people who 'think algorithmically' and can't code. Engineers, in turn, hate low code frameworks, as they are useless on the CV and annoying to work with for reasons mentioned by others here. Proprietary s*ht tech that always, inevitably, leads to custom code.

And, it's expensive. We had mulesoft, outsystems, boomi and replaced it all with general purpose stuff shaving approx. 9M/yr in license costs. We have lost no velocity, and the great thing about the alternative (in our case: simply standardizing the toolset and going with GCP 'serverless' stack) is that its super easy to find devs who will willingly work on that. That hasn't been our experience with the low code frameworks.
Wow, 2010 was a full two years after they refused to hire me. And I started a Freenet and an ISP and was a CCTLD administrator and a telco contact and somewhat Cisco guru, and managed BGP routes with experience on several unixii. My wife and I had been early customers (4 digit cust number) with a dedicated server. I showed up in San Antone just asking for an interview, they punted me to the website and never called back.

(In retrospect) THANK YOU, RACKSPACE for not trapping me with a great salary in Texas and instead forcing me to Plan B which was get any job I could get in small town OK and be able to finish raising my son and daughter.
I’m not convinced either of them would even want to.

AMD used to have fabs - they spun them off a long time ago as GlobalFoundries. They’re no longer competitive with TSMC, Samsung, or even Intel for modern nodes.
Travel can be necessary or discretionary. The per-mile safety is the relevant number when the travel is necessary, but if it’s discretionary, then I might choose to just stay home if the numbers (price, time commitment, missed events back home, death risk…) don’t seem that great.

I often include valgrind tests before Beta releases, as it is usually going to point out suspect areas needing inspection.

Fuzzing is only really useful for a very narrow range of analysis scenarios. If people understand threading properly: code should be able to take getting hammered, exiting gracefully, and cleanly get re-instantiated.

Also, banning hosts/accounts with an error-rate quota system is more common these days. =3
This reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut's book Player Piano. Imagine LLMs/AGI but implemented with vacuum tubes. It includes the line (from memory): We're sure of his sentencing, because we replaced all the vacuum tubes and ran the trial again and got the same result."

SEC Public Alert: Unregistered Soliciting Entities (PAUSE)
Someone correct me if I'm misremembering, but I think Donald Knuth wrote somewhere that when he'd be assigned the odd-numbered problems, he'd always do them, and do the even-numbered problems as well.
People who ever lived on Earth is just over a magnitude more than were alive in 2020 (7% of all people every alive lived in 2020) [0].

But interestingly if you divide a light-year by 117 Billion (the number of people ever alive according to [0]) it comes down to about 80 000 km per person (coincidently 2x the Earth circumference). If the average life-span was 80 years, that would bring the daily travelled distance to 2.7km per person, or 5.4km if average life-span was 40. 5.4k is easily done in an hour (especially by people walking as their main mode of transport).

So yeah, maybe all people that ever lived together walked somewhere between 1-10 lightyears together. So all in all, not that much compared to US airlines in the last 15 years.

Yes, which is why I asked: "how would I go about using this API to find the text?"

That seems to be the crux of the challenge? Given a bunch of scroll cross-sections, find the text? My question is just how you would go about doing that! What techniques are used, algorithms etc.
Are you able to open any of these ?

Underrated comment here.

Despite the technical knowledge is important, the domain where this is applied is even more important. It is always good idea to keep oneself in and field, instead of going from fintech jobs, to retail, to B2B SaaS...

One of my colleages has always been working in the energy market field, and he is way more knowledgeable about everything involving the business than any other technical peer. Also, he has a name in the industry, and is known in most of the energy vendors of the country. It's reputation alone has made more than one contract for my current company, so it really pays off. Of course, he is also paid well above any of us.
Love it! I've seen a lot of signs like, "prohibited items are not allowed in facility." Especially TSA signs at the airport which also include guns and knives and such in big red circles with lines through them. I always wonder if those signs were made by a brilliant low-grade troll or not.

I once added text that said, "Unauthorized access is not authorized" as a low-grade troll, and people liked it so it stayed
Latest US strike on China's chips hits semiconductor toolmakers
If you include all the feeder aircraft routes (lots of single-engine Grand Caravans and the like), it’s much, much worse than US airline passenger flights.

Reasons include a mix of equipment, flying on the wrong side of the clock (often by low-time pilots with other jobs), lots of single pilot ops, driving for the lowest possible cost and highest dispatch rate, less oversight (and a little bit more cowboy as a result), and lots of short legs to airports with shorter runways, fewer runways, and often less services (snow removal, ATC, de-icing, etc.)
Yes, that's the minimum they should do. Take over and fire the whole management.
Software engineering culture is still in a very primitive phase: just take a look at the comments of the category theory submission currently in the front-page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42291141

The problem with too much money is that it allows for lazy project management practices.

And at some scale, it's difficult to determine if you are actually making slow progress or deluding yourself and rebuilding the same system for the third time.

Similarly, infinite runway means you can infinitely postpone worrying about stability. "We're still working on features" etc.

The question now will be whether Intel can turn that funding into tangible results
There's also the issue where public software engineering related projects are too broad in scope and poorly defined. Rather than making small projects that are useful and then expanding upon them the trend is to specify massive nationwide databases and then just throw money at them, often using 'Big bang' deployments. These are so called because you deploy them and then there's a large explosion ;)

Both MCAS crashes would have been avoided if the crew correctly executed the memory-item runaway stab trim checklist. (The second crew almost saved it by first correctly executing that checklist, then reversing that corrective action while trying to recover, after which point the flight was lost.)

It depends. Are you flying because you need to get to the destination? You will have to do the miles so use per mile. Are you flying for vacation? Is the alternative to just drive to a nearest lake/mountain and vacation there? Then use per trip
I can relate. I code at home on my side projects, and enjoy solving coding issues at work once in a while, but I couldn’t sit and do it every day. The two easiest things you can do is either move to Engineering Management or to Product Management.
I'm very fond of end-to-end system tests, with any external dependencies mocked out using something like Wiremock for HTTP calls, and containers for databases or queues. If it were up to me, I'd only have that kind of test, and some unit tests for pure functions/methods that may have finicky logic.

You misunderstood my point about the `job`/`jobId`, though. It would be correctly typed, and wouldn't break anything. But it would not be immediately clear for a developer working on that code in the future if it was an instance of Job or the ID of a job, and there would be no type information that immediately makes that clear.

I don't feel like the point you are making with regards to changing the signatures is true, either. If you're changing the shape of some data structure, or adding/removing parameters, then you would also have to make those changes in a dynamically typed language, it's only when you're changing the types of the parameters that you have to make a change, but that's really not that big of a deal, since your development environment should helpfully point out the places you need to update as you change them. I value code that's easy to makes changes in, but I value code that someone else can quickly pick up more.

Built a trivia game night platform:)
They’re really quite clearly incomparable things. For example, over a two hour drive yesterday, I saw three vehicles with blown out tires and two vehicles stopped on the shoulder and witnessed a nearly serious rear-end accident that was only barely evaded by swerving onto the shoulder, not even to mention the hazardous driving while swerving in and out of lanes, tailgating and close passing, etc.

The point is that it’s simply not comparable because the consequences of air travel are far more significant, not to mention that there are dozens of people doing constant QA and maintenance on regular schedules that do all they can to prevent those major risks from manifesting themselves.

For context; ~42,500 die in vehicle accidents every year in the US. ~380 die in all aviation accidents, which also is largely private planes, which basically combines the worst of both. Miles traveled are utterly irrelevant in this regard, when around almost 3 people die every single day in every CONUS state.
I could open my copy of the game right now and find a bug in 5 minutes. That has been a constant for me since the game released and until at least 3 months ago when I last played
Some systems must have these certifications.

What OS renders the monitoring screens for air traffic control systems, or railways signalling? Those both have rigorous software engineering behind them — railway signalling is the original of engineered, safety-critical logic systems, starting with mechanical interlocks in 1843. (The signalman physically couldn't move certain levers into bad configurations.)

3rd Place Solution for the Arc Prize 2024 Competition: Omni-Arc Approach
The most important factor should be that if something isn't commercially available (not used, new), it should fall to Public Domain faster.

If you're not selling your game published in 2005, it should be free for everyone to grab - you clearly don't care about it anymore. If you did, you'd let people pay money for it.
In most instances, people tend to budget travel by time rather than distance.

All things equal, people tend to budget about (one-way) 10 minutes for shopping, 20 minutes for commuting, and about 3--12 hours for holiday travel.

By foot, that translates to about 1/2, 1, and 6--36 miles (at 3 mph).

By bike, about 2.5, 5, and 45--180 miles (at 15 mph).

By auto, about 5, 10, and 90--360 miles (at 30 mph, typical aggregate speed).

By high-speed rail, 25, 50, and 450--1,800 mi (averaging 150 mph).

By plane, the shorter trips don't make much sense, but 1 hour travel will get you 150 -- 500 miles, 6 about 3,600 mi (continental distance), and 12 hours > 7,000 mi (intercontinental).

Numbers are rough, but for ballpark comparisons should work.

People didn't begin travelling continental / transcontinental distances for holiday or business until air travel was widespread, cheap, and safe. Where exceptional travel was absolutely required it was undertaken, though until the age of steamships, very very few people undertook ocean voyages of more than a few days' duration. Crossing oceans took weeks, if not longer.
Teaching My Younger Self to Program
I don't know. I recently am drawn more and more in pure Go code, which is conceptually as simple as it gets, yet I can achieve basically everything imaginable in it without hitting walls/limitations. Add some (embedded) SQLite for small/quick/cheap things or postgres for when it gets more involved or critical (horizontal scaling, backups, ...), and everything is quickly possible. Now with LLMs, its outright trivial to make them generate functionality at will immediately, and (pure) Go is exceptionally friendly with LLM codegen, due to the language being stupid simple and the stdlib being "complete" for years.

Essentially I prefer staying at the "you need to be a coder" abstraction level, but the general tooling nowadays makes becoming one very easy. Once you mentally lift the requirement that something needs to be configurable by some non-technical end user or even needs an UI at all, 90%+ of all dev effort can be saved directly. Plus there are no showstoppers in capabilities or usual barriers like too bad performance/config hell of "no code"/"low code" I encountered quite often. And if you don't use the latest webdev fads, things can be maintainable for decades (looking at Go compared to NodeJS).

Rawdogging basic programming (yes, also no framework if possible) made more "business" projects first succeed (and then stay alive easily) much more than either a web framework or any kind of lo-/no-tool, at least the things I encountered in the wild. Even bad spaghetticode monstrosities can now uploaded to an LLM and refactored into sanity quite efficiently.

The worst kind of projects (with lots of pain and regret) have been either JS-based, mis-used framework projects (including rails!) or Salesforce setups. Often you're stuck in a dead-end here.
I'm not sure I entirely agree in this circumstance.

Normally I'd give the developers the benefit of the doubt. But the sheer number of issues, and how fundamental some of them ~were~ are[1] leave me little room for sympathy.

Transaction idempotency is such a basic property for a financial system that I struggle to believe that Horizon was tested in any meaningful way.

With a simple script? I'd bet on the LLM making more mistakes.
The best low code solutions I’ve seen from the end user perspective are ones that create sane looking skeleton code for you and have an eject button for when you hit the boundaries of what the tool is capable of. The eject button is a one off operation that switches the low code solution to a traditional code based solution, and is irreversible. Bootstrapping and prototyping quickly is a great use case for low code tools in the phase where long term code maintenance is not really important.

Such a model is not easily monetized which is why you don’t often see this model in the wild. Draftbit is one company I’ve seen that uses this model: https://draftbit.com/pricing. Note I am not affiliated and have not used the software just find it interesting to see this model actually out in the wild.

> start your interviews with them by asking if they are comfortable reporting and working with someone with less experience than them

I think the recommendation to hire seniors and learn from them is great, but I would not muddy up waters by asking the above.

Most senior engineers have reported or saw colleagues report to non-technical leadership. Senior is practically synonymous with being able to make technical decisions without technical guidance (only business guidance). Asking that as a minor question in the middle of the interview is OK. Making that sound too important may just raise worries that the interviewing company had some people issues and might be a mess to step into. My 2c.

Localtower v2: A clean UI to manage your Rails DB schema migrations
I finally found some time to upgrade Localtower to v2!

Localtower is a ReactJS-powered Rails Engine that transforms the tedious task of creating database schema migrations into an intuitive, point-and-click experience.

Localtower supports versions 5.2 to 8 with a slick UI that makes database migrations as simple as clicking a button.

It quickly garnered 38,870 downloads and 402 GitHub stars. An elegant solution that democratizes database schema design for developers of all skill levels.

This article includes examples and screenshots of the tool.

Let me know what you think.
