I lived in bumfuck nowhere where there were basically no developers (if you knew how to reinstall Windows you were called "a genius kid"), no computer magazines, and access to the internet was available through dial-up for an hour or two in the middle of the night a couple of times per month because it was:

1) very slow — my modem was never able to achieve more than 2.5-3 KB/s, and

2) pretty expensive given our measly salaries.

I also didn't speak English at all. I first got access to a programming environment at 16, at an age where my Western peers were starting to write operating systems: it was a copy of "pirated" Delphi that came by pure chance. The first couple of years I was making shit that wouldn't impress anybody because there was nothing to learn from besides the standard library, which would probably be achievable by a computer science version of Ramanujan, but not by some random dude like myself.

Please remember about the rest of the world before accusing others of making "cheap excuses". Not every person on this planet lived or lives in the middle of Manhattan; this may very well include GP.
Yes, though sharing BLE with other protocols is challenging (even with first-class citizens like ANT+ there are various caveats). The proprietary protocols are Shockburst/Gazelle [0] which are based of the ancient nrf24 setup.

Having said that, the radio peripheral on the chip is dead simple to drive bare-metal. Create a packet (with the convenience function), put its address in a register and hit the 'send' bit (more or less, glossing over waiting for ready bits here). Receiving is as easy - point to where you want packets to land, go into RX mode and wait for the "packet received" bit to be set.

For 1000kg of steel, bulk of raw input materials, we're looking at ~$500 price difference, i.e. negligible. If you want BOM for other materials, lazy napkin math: PRC auto is ~10% of gdp. PRC industrial subsidies ~2% of GDP. Even if you assume entire industrial subsidy goes towards auto, that still puts it at ~20% of industry. Can western manufacturers compete if PRC cars was ~20% more expensive. Can they compete if BYD seagull was was $12000, vs it selling for $20000 abroad. No. That's without considering west subsidizes the shit out of their auto, and downstream sectors, i.e. US energy.

For the past 8 years or so:

Get up, turn on coffee machine, down a pint of water, have my espresso, work on my own projects for two hours.

After that, I hit the gym/run, take a shower, and start my work day. When I've been unemployed, my "work day" was hitting up friends for jobs/scouring my linkedin network to see who works where for potential leads.

You'd think two hours isn't enough but in that time I've managed to build/write:

- a bill splitting service
- a jobs aggregator
- an appointment scheduler
- a room booking service
- a graphql API monitoring service
- a site speed monitoring service
- an uptime monitoring/status page service
- a blog with dozens of top ranking articles
- a book
> Removing species-specific ability score increases lets players create non-standard combinations without weakening the party.

Illogical. Without racial differences there's not such thing as a non-standard combination anymore. The entire flavour of a wizard gnome was that it was not an expected combination because it was suboptimal.

This change removes variety and is thus bad.
Retail hardware actually has a better track record at the moment than bespoke, closed market devices. ANOM was a trap and most closed encryption schemes are hideously buggy. You're actually better off with Android and signal. If we had open baseband it would be better, but we don't, so it's not.

What do you mean by "tracking"? So far, we have not talked about tracking anything. Only about how to add a new field.

I just named a downside of the columns approach: It slows things down.

Being able to add add fields faster leads to faster experimentation and development.

> investment (gamble) their nest egg.

investment, done according to well known economic theories (such as market index investing), is not like gambling. People who do gamble (like wallstreetbets style) might lose, but i don't believe most people, if they're allowed a bit of education, will do that. The degenerate gamblers will always gamble anyway.

> Stockmarket is easy to invest in for ordinary citizens

try investing in foreign companies/indices - you will find that ordinary citizens cannot easily do it. They'd have to do it via a HK broker, or have sufficent capital to have a private banker. There's also a lot of capital flow restrictions (that i'm not too privy to, but it's there). Sure it might be easy to invest in the chinese shanghai index as a chinese citizen, but that's too concentrated and is akin to gambling.

In theory, "none of this has anything to do with Signal", and you are correct ; but back over here in reality: Signal runs on these systems.

Hence the security afforded by Signal is very weak in-practice and questionable at best.

I believe this was shared and discussed here a while ago and this article looks LLM generated. It keeps doing "let's start...". Either it's LLM fluff or very poor writing.
What websites did you use to find and apply?
Indeed. Even if an LLM tells you its “reasoning” process step by step, it’s not actually an exposition of the model’s internal decision process. It’s just more text that, when generated, improves the chances of a good final output.
The amount of one-off work this would take is quite high, so the amount of motivation for a company like Apple to say “No, you can’t legally compel us to to allocate engineering resources to this” is also quite high.

My point is that they (and other tech companies) would be highly incentivized against implementing something like a malicious update targeting a single device/user based purely on capitalistic motivations, rather than philosophical/ethical ones.

> it has to be much "better" than US manufacturing ever was.

exactly. And i don't see how it is possible, since that's a leap, rather than small incremental gains.
reasoning behind having no id or key column

The entries in the data column already have an id field. What would be an upside of having another id in a column? It seems that only complicates things and has the potential for invalid states (different id in the id column than in the json field).

So far I have not used indexes because things are fast enough as they are. I would expect that when I need more speed, I can easily add indexes on expressions.

Why do you expect SQLite indexes on expressions to be worse than what NoSQL databases do for indexing?

As for the diffs...

According to MediaWiki it gzips diffs [1]. So to render a previous version of the page I guess it'd have to unzip and apply all diffs in sequence to render the final version of the page.

And then it depends on how efficient the queries are at fetching etc.

The blue tick doesn't cause the reply boost. The paid plan level does, from small to large boost. Blue tick means you supplied a valid phone and credit card - a strong indicator of a genuine account.

I'm trying it to check out Grok, which is impressive now that it can handle current events and return posts and web links.

On the negatives, they claim "download videos" as a feature of paid plans. This is false advertising. Many videos cannot be downloaded. The uploader must specifically set the video as downloadable, and many do not. X is deliberately misleading about this. It was a key reason I paid.

When something complex exists it’s usually because alternatives are worse. Would you have less issues with 10MB updates? 1MB? One megabyte is a lot of text, a good novel for a week of evening reading can be less than that.
+1 for googlesheets. It is stable, and provided you don't exceed the API limits, you can run a lot of data through it.
Appscript is also incredibly powerful if you work with tools that have decent APIs. With a few lines of js and the built in trigger functions, you can have an automatically updating dashboard with email notifications when certain conditions are met (e.g. balance too low, user engagement metric does X etc).
An app I worked on once wanted a Google Sheets Integration - just a quick button to import rows from the database and into the spreadsheet so that the client can do some quick visualization and pie charts (I offered them a readonly DB account but they didn't know any SQL).

Few years have passed, and there are currently 470 THOUSAND rows with 20+ columns in that spreadsheet which is used almost daily.

Rewriting this into a proper web app would take maybe a week (the API is already there and used by GS), but was never deemed a priority, so it will keep existing in the backlog until we hit row or cell limits - after which it will suddenly become urgent...
I was laid off in May from my consulting firm of 3.5 years and I still don't have a job. Probably applied to over 200+ jobs and haven't even got an interview.

Can you elaborate? The first I assume is “take off and nuke the site from orbit”, per Aliens (1986). What are you advocating for with IPv6? Increasing the enumeration space for IP addresses from 32 bits to /64 prefixes?
> 4-5% of the worlds population

why is the assumption that all control must be equally shared? I question the premise competely. If you made it, or invested in it, you own it. It just means that the US made, invested or invented the value that the market deems to be 40-50% of the global marketcap.

> Prove that Windows spies on you.

Well, for starters, they updated their EULA to permit them to spy on you as much as they want, legally:

https://thenewamerican.com/us/tech/computers/windows-10-is-s...

While Microsoft gives the option to disable some of their spyware, it is not possible to disable everything via Windows settings:

https://thehackernews.com/2016/02/microsoft-windows10-privac...

I could continue, but where have you been the past 10 years? Windows has been spyware since Windows 10. There is oodles of telemetry, and you need to have been living under a rock not to know about this. This seems appropriate:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKYQ5ibxslI

By the way, long before Microsoft started blatently spying on its users, they put a back door into Windows allowing them to push updates to Windows machines, even if you disabled updates. We know because they used it at least once:

https://www.informationweek.com/it-sectors/microsoft-updates...

When a company can push updates to a machine, it can change whatever it wants. Such changes can include giving themselves full remote control of the machine, if they did not have full control already.

Tried to use Glide a few years ago and couldn't understand why it is needed anyway in real life? It seems like toy for startup-guys, not for real MVP's or something valuable.

I like Google Sheets and Google Docs but this app is so strange. Maybe it's ok for small "homemade" projects for neighbourhoods or local businesses like flower salon or fitness club. But why it is needed for these type of business if we have social media, messengers, WPA and adaptive layouts on websites.
I mean, sometime along the way you’re going to have something that consumes the data (otherwise, why bother keeping it in the first place), and that something will have certain expectations about the way things are structured.

It will probably become a good idea then to have some clue as to what structure used to be at one point or the other, and for that you’d want to keep track as to what got added/removed and when.

If it’s a very early stage in the development, and you don’t expect any of the current data to survive to the final version, I guess that’s fine. But when you have an actual running product that has to keep running, dealing with the multiple versions of the data scheme is a pain, and dealing with the multiple untracked versions of the data scheme is a pain squared.
Re: keeping up-to-date: color themes depend on underlying syntax definitions. Every now and then these are updated and break the colors in subtle ways. Aslo, custom icon requests for files / languages, editors that update and provide new theme entry points to be colorized. These are the most common points to keep up to date.

Re: People fixing the theme: I don't disclose the source so that won't work I guess.

> Tariffs certainly seem superior

tariffs seems a roundabout way to try achieve something.

Why not directly invest in making manufacturing, if the US gov't wants that specific result? The US is deeply afraid of the idea of state owned companies, coz the past red scare have put off the idea.

Of course, private industry will cry foul - that they cannot compete on the wages that would've been needed to attract the workers, etc.
War with China is starting to seem increasingly likely, we need to seriously prepare our industry now to manufacture things again and stop giving them our technology.

The NSA/CIA need to start making systems more secure by default and stop thinking spying on their own populations is a top priority.
>if they're allowed a bit of education

PRC had like 3-10% tertiary education in 90s-00s. IMO the masses are not going to absorb a bit of education. They'll still speculate, bandwagon etc if there's money to be made. It's not so much degenerate gambling as degenerate heresay malinvestment not thinking they're gambling when they actually are. A shares in the 00s was basically a casino, but investors thought they could beat the house because latest XYZ tip. % of educated in society much higher now, but problem is uneducated still around and retiring, i.e. potentially even worse casino reopens.

>investing in foreign companies/indices

No this is definitely controlled out of capital flight concerns. Since the cohorot who would benefit from this are the top quantile, whose capita CCP definitely wants to control.
Yes please!

For additional context, we are currently using problems which have test cases, and it feels as if it doesn't correctly reflect the day-to-day of a data scientist. In fact, many interviewers pass a candidate iff they pass the test cases.

What I said especially holds true if you are billing in the name of the attending. If you have residents doing real work and the attending checks it out, that shows up as $0 on the books for the resident, and potentially millions of billable services for the attending. When the hospital says, "we lose money on residents", of course they do! They way they bill ensures exactly that.

That's why I say that step 1 is determine and bill the actual value of resident work. Lots of papers claim teaching hospitals actually make money on residents before medical education payments (and that doesnt even include the unbilled work I mentioned earlier [1])

If after a true accounting of the value, it still comes up negative due to overhead, then bill the customer! they are the ones that should be paying overhead anyways. There are 101 ways to recoup overhead, especially capital investment.

leetoced/AoC-like problems are probably the easiest class of software related tasks LLMs can do.

Hm, I was expecting more business point of view in this article. Right now we are looking information about financial results from relicensing open source. Unfortunately, it is about repositories health. But the article still interesting.
What I'm saying is the pie is getting bigger, inequality can increase too and that you probably are still better off. If Youtube doubles in size next year, and Mr Beast increases his share of that from let's say 1% to 2%, the remaining 98% is still bigger than the 99% that was shared amongst everyone else last year.

You may look at that and say well that's not fair, most of the benefits are going to Mr Beast - and they are, Mr Beast would have done very well in that scenario. But you're still better off than before. Are you better off relative to Mr Beast? No. But Youtube doesn't owe you that, that's not a reasonable benchmark. If it gets to the point that you're getting worse off, then maybe move to somewhere else, but expecting these places to be good for you in perpetuity is a mistake, and refusing to engage because you fear they won't be good for you in perpetuity is also a mistake. The total benefit of us all engaging makes the pie much bigger, and you almost certainly will get a bigger share of that than by refusing to partake in the pie at all.
This smacks of "moving the goalposts" just as much as the other side is accused of when unimpressed by advances.

It's a reasonable test.
