Trying to excuse cheating by pretending it's some kind of economic equality issue and badmouthing hiring of immigrant tech workers is a bad look. Software developers themselves don't want to stuck be working alongside any of the -10x coders who cheat their way past interviews and generally are grateful when they are let go so this can't be passed off as some kind of "sticking it to the man" / "power to the workers" thing.
It happened incredibly fast

Polling did see it coming. But the growth was so unprecedented, the pollsters questioned their sanity (read: methodology, or at least sampling bias)

The campaign propelling him happened during the two weeks preceding the election. Enough to create a wave of enthusiasm, just short enough to fly below the radar (of him properly getting scrutinised)

Romania's NSA report suggests the campaign was a copycat of campaigns in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. Romania either had an X factor that made this one succeed, or the state actor managed to nail the way it calibrated the campaign this time
How to get your content to appear in ChatGPT Search
From my limited understanding almost all beekeepers give their bees sugar syrup to help them overwinter anyway so nothing stops them from supplementing their diets in the spring. It’s obviously not ideal since a lot of the other aromatics from pollen will be missing but it’s still a step up from mixing the end product with sugar syrup.

Blue honey sounds cool though.
I'm willing to pay for valuable content and services. I pay for online search and email, for example.

I'm not willing to look at ads. If the product or service that you have to offer is not sustainable without ads, I'm perfectly fine with it not existing at all.
>It's paper wealth based on stock prices.

All wealth is paper wealth. The value of anything and everything changes with the wind and, as such, can only be measured at a moment in time. The ridiculous mantra that wealth isn't truly wealth until it is turned into cash is absurd since the value of cash itself fluctuates with rates of inflation and one currency against another.
I'm Stockholm syndrome with make at this point. I'm not sure I'd want it any other way.

And yes, the completely blind zealous worship by these parasite outlets is even worse than the absolutely uncritical copy-pasting of AI output that some people post on forums.
I don't doubt that for critical infrastructure in general, but telecommunication infrastructure in particular seems redundant enough to be resilient against physical layer attacks of that kind.

The last mile usually isn't, but recent events have shown that even cutting several cables doesn't have any noticeable impact on international traffic patterns: https://blog.cloudflare.com/resilient-internet-connectivity-...

I'm actually much more concerned about e.g. a logical attack against Cloudflare, which could actually bring down tons of services globally.

I think you are actually agreeing with the main thesis of the article, which I agree buries the lede and obfuscates it with overly focusing on TDD in particular. You're just adding the, accurate, caveat that most people's opinions on how to build good software are wrong.

I think that it's true that at large companies there can be an obsession with over-design and over-engineering "for scale", but I actually think that's wrong to do at large companies too, you're just less likely to pay the ultimate price for wasting time on it.
Ok this is what you do.

1) Incognito mode in Firefox
2) Use the same IP as before, or a private proxy with the same country and city as before
3) Goto Bing and search for gmail
4) Attempt to login
5) If asked to enter your full recovery email address - opt for this option
5) If you are then prompted for pva code use a fresh SIM which has same country code as the one you are in.
6) This might work

I also haven't seen in your previous response how Just is better than a subdir with shell scripts named according to a convention.

AFAICT, the productivity improvements you described came exclusively from using a consistent naming convention, not from Just. And since everyone's dev env supports subdirectories with shell scripts already, why not simply use that instead of requiring Just?
The problem is noise.

Say you want to take 10% at each round. You have to do this three times to get 100 people, and then another round to get the top 30.

If you tighten the criterion, noise matters more, so you will drop your actual best candidates, since people need a high skill+noise. But if you try to keep the unlucky "good" candidates by having a wider band, you pay more.

Also, if you are successful at finding the best candidates in a batch, noise matters even more the next round.

I've been thinking about how to vizualize this. I have it in my mind and I'll try to describe it.

You plot a bunch of points with S, N for each candidate. They are independent, so a scatter plot looks like a 2D gaussian. Lets say skill is vertical, and noise is horizontal.

You want to find the 30 highest points, but you aren't allowed to just look on the scatter plot and select the top points. You have to draw a line S + N = c, and choose the person with the highest c. Basically sliding a ruler out that crosses the S and N axes as far away from the origin as possible.

Observation: if N is high (wider distribution) compared to S, you just get the luckiest people. If S is high compared to N, you just get the most skillful.
Predicting that next December will be cold, sure. Predicting how cold or how much rainfall or snowfall there will be in next December would be difficult, but you could get in the right ballpark. Predicting in which week it will snow a year from now? Not a chance.

That's all mitigated on the server. You also have access to additional escaping tools for handling user-generated data on the server, too.

Capacity is the issue. Undersea cables typically have terrabits per second of capacity. Newer cables are hundreds of tbps.

Satellites just don't have that kind of capacity at this point. Certainly, you can aggregate several satellites, and you may get to enough capacity for your needs, but it will be a lot less capacity than a cable and you may need to have significant usage restrictions in one form or another.

Look, that’s a fine point for corporate laws. They should be rigorously enforced.

But election laws are completely different. Enforcement of election laws inherently allows unelected lawyers and judges to second guess voters. It puts the justice system above the electoral system, which is corrosive to democracy. What are the checks and balances on the people enforcing those elections laws?

The way Ada handles generics removes a lot of complexity wrt things like inference and overload resolution, but at the expense of making things less convenient for the programmer because of the need to explicitly instantiate.

Rust and C++ are at this weird intersection of features where, on one hand, they need to have very fancy optimizers to remove all the overhead that idiomatic high-level library code (including stdlib) has, and on the other, they have generics and some degree of type inference that results in lots of generated code that consequently needs to go through the optimizer.

You can argue that it is that intersection that it itself problematic. But then again, C++ is arguably so popular precisely because it offers it, and Rust became popular because it was the first thing other than C++ that targeted the same broad niche.
It'd be a great way to get sued for negligence. You can't even assume the counterparty has correctly put everything into discovery for you. What you don't know is what gets you into trouble.

An example from the Karen Reed case, the police, somehow, uploaded a video that had been put through a "mirror filter" and thus showed a vehicle in the opposite orientation from reality. Is your LLM going to notice that?

Some smaller businesses may have a huge data store, but not the money to pay for a business grade internet connection to upload it in a reasonable amount of time. I've worked for clients who have a 10 megabit full duplex fiber connection for over $1,000 a month (probably because of low ISP competition and because they were in a newly built, low density area). If they were working on migrating to the cloud, they would certainly consider taking a few hard drives one time to AWS rather than maxing their 10 MB full duplex connection for weeks or months.
> I don't know how old you are but you are likely to hit a compensation ceiling as an individual contributor at some point.

Realistically it's not a bad problem to have.

I'm no where near making a capped IC amount but if someone were in this position you really only need ~5-8 years of working to pretty much set yourself up for life financially if you keep your living expenses reasonable.
when people are sloppy with language, they're probably sloppy with the science too.

>But it does have a lot of additional chemical compounds in it

if a jar of honey had one sloughed off cell from the colon of a honeybee, it would have "a lot of additional chemical compounds in it" because there are a lot of chemical compounds in a single cell. As a percentage of a jar of honey it's trace amounts. Govt standards for selling grains specify the acceptable quantities of rodent feces and insect parts, because it's not practical to take those numbers to zero. Nobody talks about the benefits of eating grain because of trace chemicals from that. I'm not saying trace amounts don't matter, I'm saying evidence based or gtfo.

I'm not saying don't look at it, I'm saying be reasonable and don't draw conclusions without conclusive evidence. One piece of conclusive evidence we have is that it is extremely difficult for scientists to tell the difference between authentic and adulterated honey, and it requires extreme measures not generally taken for foodstuffs, measures never said to be indicative of nutritional value.

>(as the antibiotic properties demonstrate)

no, any antibiotic properties would not demonstrate "a lot of additional chemical compounds". A chemical antibiotic component might be found to be a single compound.

I'm not saying people are not allowed to establish a religious cult of honey and have kosher-honey rules; I'm saying that for people not in the cult, the difficulty of telling the differences makes you wonder what you're hoping to find out, or why you should pay high prices, and as a practical matter makes it very difficult to police the marketplace.

the honey market in terms of fraud is much much worse off than the olive oil market. Some people could take advantage of this in their personal lives by switching to fake honey.
Just for a reference of the price, it will be 300$ per hour in US and 500$ in EU.

That looks quite expensive in my opinion, even if this target big professionals.
Yeah, the old adage applies that the people making money and the people writing books on how to make money are different people.

> You don't need to be in the directory to run those scripts.

There's already an easy way to solve this: $PATH.

> I think a better question for you: What's the benefit of putting .PHONY recipes in Makefiles, when you could just have a directory full of shell scripts. If you find yourself using .PHONY recipes, then you already have a reason to use just.

Well, I think it's the same question, rather than a better question. And the answer is yes, if all you need from make, now and in the future, is a set of .PHONY targets, then by all means just use shell scripts. make is used because often you need slightly more than this -- or you may do so tomorrow, and don't want to change the syntax you use to accomplish tasks.
> Drones are now responsible for a majority of battlefield losses, overtaking artillery, according to Ukrainian sources.

Nothing earthshaking in this story. Someone can make the obligatory slaugherbots comment. But it's still amazing to watch the steady progression into science fiction. Now its the major sources of loss. Now the last phase is being automated. Soon, fully automated missions.
Apologies for starting from far away. In my defense: when one's starting point is "your opponent thinks you are a paid troll", one has to tread lightly.

I was trying to provide context. You saw an article in Time Magazine. Try as you might, you can't just dismiss it as a work of a Russian troll. You have to actually read it, engage with it, and discuss the content instead of dismissing it out of hand and moving on. Notice that we are not debating whether US lobbying consultants were involved. We are discussing the magnitude of their involvement, and whether or not their participation was paid for appropriately. You have to agree that this is higher quality discussion.

OK, so we agreed that these firms were involved. How involved were they? I'll leave another link in this trail of breadcrumbs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_affair. Predicting your next rebuttal ("but there's no link to the US"): yeah, there's more.

In conclusion: it is absolutely true that other countries have done to Russia exactly what they are outraged about now. You can choose to be OK with that.
> If we don't house them and don't treat them, are we throwing them all in prison for life? Executing them? If we don't do either of these things, they're living animals that have to eat, sleep, and shit somewhere. You might prefer it be somewhere you'll never see it, but where? What is a solution that isn't just making it someone else's problem?

Making it someone else's problem is what most of the country has chosen. As this thread notes, SF's homeless population is increasingly from outside the city. Trying to resolve this at the city level is not sustainable.
Xbox Game Pass is awesome, assuming you're happy with that and not PC games specifically. It's pretty seamless and performs well and they support heaps of devices. Plus it has Halo which automatically makes it the best one.
It depends on company share ownership. If they created the company (and held on to shares), or if they are mostly paid in shares (and held on to shares), if they kept buying as many shares as they could and got paid in as many shares as they could - and held on to them - and the company got amazingly successful (outliers) - then yes.

If they were content to be salaried CEOs, then no.

Nice. I didn't know about Just.

Just (pun intended) a personal plug: I always liked the Make ease of use and the declarative GH Actions phylosophy. I also like to have the same workflows in local and in my remote CI, so I recently wrote a task runner with the (IMHO) ease of use of Make and GH Actions-like philosophy. It still lacks good docs, but I use it everyday on my projects and works like a charm.

I don't agree. Trust allows for a lot of things to go a lot smoother. Sure, good friendships can end, but one can also be honest with good friends.
I got a down arrow on my comment that's your parent a minute before you responded. Coincidence, or you prefer to press it because you are not satisfied that I'm not your personal documentation agent?

Finally and additionally as a response: because it's also all in one place. I don't want 10+ scripts. For the third time: I used bespoke scripts and found them not good enough compared to Just, now for even more reasons clearly spelled out. Sigh.
I once heard a conversation between an engineering manager and a very senior leader at NVidia.

The manager was sharing how challenging it was for his team to debug a certain type of code that they were responsible for. Without missing a beat, this very senior leader replied: "What do we need in order to make it fun? What kind of tooling or other improvements would make it enjoyable and easy?".

I'm paraphrasing because I can't recall the exact words, but I was flabbergasted to hear how he framed the problem as a lack of "fun".

Interactions like that are why I left NVidia with enormous respect for their managers and not just the very bright individual contributors I had the privilege to meet.

I bet people who have been on the inside can guess who the very senior guy was. Absolute legend.
> For #5, they are overestimating how easy it is to find origins of viruses. SARS took 5 years.

SARS-1 took about a year to find a proximal zoonotic host. The reservoir host took much longer, but the proximal host is the important part (and still hasn't been found for SARS-CoV-2).

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5241a2.htm

You're right about Ebola and the 2009 flu. I think it's likely that SARS-CoV-2 arose from a research accident, but I don't think the COVID Select Subcommittee's arguments are very good.
Happy that you like it. Please let me know if you need specific needs and what you use for. I will happy to improve and/or help.
I have been really happy with Sunshine as well.

If your server is Linux and you have an NVIDIA card, I would also recommend applying the NVFBC consumer card restriction removal patch[1] to your driver libraries to allow you to capture directly from the GPU rather than X11/Wayland. Sunshine will automatically detect this and use it and it reduces the latency even further.

What Pi 5 is good for? It doesn't look like a portable because of high power consumption, nor it's a desktop class system because of its weak compute and high price. Pi 3 or 4 is still a better choice for almost anything including retro gaming and Linux education.
