Exactly, the organized events are just too expensive; when I think of "someone who goes to raves", they have the means to do so every weekend or at least once a month, but who can afford that kind of thing nowadays when prices have gone way up while income has stagnated?

Sometimes, but oftentimes that would involve touching code that you don't need to touch in order to get the current ticket done, which in turn involves more QA effort.
Wow - i even saw the words "default browser app" and did not even realize it was a setting choice. That works - thank you!

Also, less correlation between skill and risk in mountain biking. If you can ride a bike, you can ride a bike fast enough to do spinal damage in a crash. If you can skate, it's still a lot of practice before you're skating fast enough for your contribution to a crash to be risky.

Is the author perhaps overcomplicating the explanation on how 'wokeness' captured so many priesthoods, by invoking complex memetic virality? E.g. Marxism was very effective at capturing priesthoods in China and Russia (e.g. Lysenkoism) because it was politically powerful, as well as morally - it was considered immoral, even treasonous, to not be communist.

In the same way, modern Western morality is based on anti-racism, and wokeness is merely its next logical step.
Generally, companies filter out candidates who request to look at any measurable amount of source code as part of the process. Larger companies leveragethe 6-12 mo contractor to hire. You are still stuck there until you are not.

These topics are common knowledge, if you have interviewed in the last 5 to 10 years. I have been working for 25, so I find the blame trying to be redirected, by some, misguided.
Unlike other stories critical of Sam Altman, it's very suspicious the way this is so quickly and systematically downvoted and flagged every single time it's posted.

This happened the last time this was posted too. Sam Altman deserves the right to defend himself in court as does Ann to tell her story (who personally I believe).

The good news is that with the lawsuit it will be in the news more and much harder to silence, maybe at some point we can have a proper discussion about it on HN without people (or more likely bots) trying to memoryhole it every single time.
It’s resounding because the expectations were that the nation’s voters were trending away from Republican politicians (or at least the popular vote), and the country was just waiting for old voters to die.

But that was shown to be completely wrong, even after women lost rights in quite a few states. The message was clear that Republicans are here to stay, and businesses better learn how to do business with them, or else face the consequences.
Yes, but the GET itself isn't changing any state. The state changes only after clicking on the button. This is OP's point.
My favorite noise story is from just a couple years ago. Our controller would run fine for hours or days and then reset for no apparent reason. Looking at the debug output, I could tell that it wasn't a watchdog or other internal reset (e.g., system panic) and there had been no user input. The debug log basically said that someone pushed the reset button, which clearly wasn't happening.

The EE and I were standing around the machine and he happened to be in front of the UI when it reset and I mentioned that I heard a soft click just before he said that it reset, but we had no hardware in the region where I thought the noise came from.

Finally, we put two and two together and realized that the system included a propane heater with an automatic controller and the noise I heard was probably the propane igniter. The high voltage from the igniter was wirelessly coupling into one of the I/O lines going to the controller board. The reason that the problem had suddenly started happening after months of trouble-free development was that the customer had rerouted some of the wiring when they were in the machine fixing something else and moved it closer to the heater.

In 30 years of doing this, I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to deal with noise that was coupling in through the air!
The problem as always is that if you are only building very few with mostly new people, and if its also a reasonable new reactor, you are gone have cost overruns. Even if you just build a couple of them, as UAE did, you can see how it improves and the unit cost go down.

But adopting one reactor as a standard design across all of Europe and building 100s would have lead an incredibly cheap decarbonisation for Europe.

Instead you literally had French and German energy minister conspiring to kill nuclear project and French political class fully willing to hand over all the 'we are so green and awesome' marketing to German. Despite France ACTUALLY being green.

Germany literally for 20 years market itself as being 'incredibly green' while burning coal at crazy rates, and they will continue for another decade.

And the CO2 isn't even the worst part, the coal dust being blown constantly blown all across central Europe is the worst part.

> I can model the execution of a C++ program as it relates to the underlying stack, heap, CPU, etc. in my mind

Fair enough. It's a very approximate model tho; even C++ is operating at a very high level of abstraction.
To me, what's more important is what it does, not how it does it. To use an LLM effectively you absolutely have to understand what it's doing; for software, that's the code it generates and the domain/ecosystem the software operates in.
Conceptually, it's not that different from what senior ICs have been doing for ages, when they delegate to less-senior ICs
Indeed. That partly seems to be based on the advice to build (save/invest) money while you are younger, which seems a bit contradictory.

I suppose everything is easier when you are rich, including ageing.
> Haskell developers incorrectly assume that you can only have one semi group (or equality, monoid, etc) instances for your data type

They don't assume that. The devs bent the compiler backwards several times trying to support more than one instance, but they still couldn't design an implementation that is actually good to use.

If you know of any language where this works well, it would be nice to know. AFAIK, representing that kind of thing is an open problem, nobody has an answer.
That’s exactly what I’m thinking. We really need a national privacy law making tracking location data illegal.
> while the new code base is much cleaner I'm convinced it would have been cheaper to just clean that code up in place

I saw one big rewrite from scratch. It was a multi-year disaster, but ended up working.

I was also told about an earlier big rewrite of a similar codebase which was a multi-year disaster that was eventually thrown away completely.

I did see one big rewrite that was successful, but in this case the new codebase very intentionally only supported a small subset of the original feature set, which wasn't huge to begin with.

All of this to say that I agree with you: starting from scratch is often tempting, but rarely smooth. If refactoring in place sounds challenging, you need to internalize that a full rewrite will be a few times harder, even if it doesn't look that way.
Free Online Calculators – Math, Fitness, Finance, Science
I'm fairly sure Word, Excel, Google Sheets, Youtube, Photoshop, etc. all have fairly high counts.

As do many tens of thousands of applications that are the backbone of services we all rely on. The systems that run banks, that run power plants, the routers that make up the backbone of the internet, etc.

Again, I agree with some of the spirit of what you're saying... but there's also a tendency of many developers (like myself) to only think of shiny new products, or to only think about the surface-level details of most business problems. You write:

> So I mean yeah, on some level solving the business problem can take as many lines as you want it to, because it's always possible to add some special case enhancement for some edge case that takes more lines. But if you just keep growing the codebase until it's unprofitable then that's not actually particularly valuable code and it's not very nice to work on either.

I think this misunderstands how the companies that have stayed in business for so long have done so. Excel is the software we all use every day because it kept adding more and more features, stealing the best ideas from new products that tried to innovate. It's still doing so, though obviously to a lesser extent.

Taking that logic to its conclusion will mean you think technology can do nothing until we can make new universes. To quote Carl Sagan: "To make an apple pie you must first invent the universe".

They don't think they have the time, but that's because they view task completions as purely additive.

Imagine you're working on this or that feature, and find a stumbling block in the legacy codebase (e.g., a poorly thought out error handling strategy causing your small feature to have ripple effects you have to handle everywhere). IME, it's literally cheaper to fix the stumbling block and then implement the feature, especially when you factor in debugging down the line once some aspect of the kludgy alternative rears its ugly head. You're touching ten thousand lines of code anyway; you might as well choose do it as a one-off cost instead of every time you have to modify that part of the system.

That's triply true if you get to delete a bunch of code in the process. The whole "problem" is that there exists code with undesirable properties, and if you can remove that problem then velocity will improve substantially. Just do it Ship of Theseus style, fixing the thing that would make your life easier before you build each feature. Time-accounting-wise, the business will just see you shipping features at the target rate, and your coworkers (and ideally a technical manager) will see the long-term value of your contributions.

Linux gaming became pretty good on PC too. Steam and Proton was a significant driver here as well, and we now have completely open-source Steam Proton-like solution too, the Heroic Launcher. Can highly recommend, really easy to set up, and adding a Windows game to it is literally just a few clicks. Same with trying different Proton or Wine packages, you just change the package, and try running it, same as Steam.
NYC as well. I thought that too and then realized it was just who I was surrounded by. You can find some extremely late night shows throughout the city that get packed with young people. Hop from Paragon to H0L0 to Nowadays and be out from 10pm until 10am, grab some pancakes at a diner, and take the train home.

Another example: fact-checking prominent race activists in 2020. The public was grossly misinformed about the scale of police violence against black Americans: https://manhattan.institute/article/perceptions-are-not-real...

But even straightforward stuff goes unchallenged. Jada Pinkett Smith released a movie trailer claiming Cleopatra was black. When NBC covered the issue, they couldn’t even bring themselves to fact check her. They did a “he said, she said” article asserting that Egypt contested whether Cleopatra was black: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/queen-cleopatra-black-egy....
This is an instance where semantics are nothing more than, well, semantics.

The people who say that Trump has been ”convicted but not sentenced” actually mean that he’s been ”found guilty but not sentenced”, they just aren’t intimately familiar with legal terms of art.

If they simply say ”Donald Trump was found guilty but not sentenced” instead, they’ve silenced the nitpickers while still conveying the exact same message they intended to in the first place.
It was 9 pin not 9dpi, yes it looked awful. 24-pin (2 rows of 12) was a pretty big improvement, even more noisy though.
I'm not yet 50, I'm "only" in my mid-40s, but for sure advancing in age has had an effect on the way I program code. For sure I won't be able to spend long hours in the night trying to decipher/solve a specific programming problem, I used to do that when I was younger.

I also used to type a lot more code, as in, my fingers used to type a lot more, I can't physically afford to do that now because after a certain threshold I can feel it in my fingers, and that feeling is not good.

I'd say that even my capability to stay focused on a specific issue has kind of changed, but maybe that's just a me thing, related to my specific life choices/environment, I couldn't tell, maybe some other programmers who have the same age as I do are better at keeping focused, or at least as good as they were 15-20 years ago.
> "In an economy that depends on skilled labor, we're falling short," says Catharine Bond Hill, an economist, a former president of Vassar College and the managing director of the higher education consulting firm Ithaka S+R.

This is an example of the poor reasoning skills of today's college graduates.

The US doesn't simply need more people with college credentials. That's a recipe for grade inflation and participation trophy type credentials: just what we have been getting. The US needs more people with objectively measured levels of reasoning skill and liberal arts and science knowledge.
That's not sufficient.

> (+) While I fully understand that once you've got multiple thousands of humans in a field, you do need security, at small illegal raves - say a few hundred people - there's no need and the vibe without feeling like you're being watched is spectacular.

On the other hand - saying this as a former tech guy for illegal raves - even in small raves below 100 people in attendance there's so much potential for shit to go seriously wrong. Obviously substance consumption related issues ranging from ODs over contaminants to mixture effect amplifications, that's the most pressing issue, but you also have your fair share of travel accidents aka someone tripping over tree branches, and you will always have a few people (mostly male, but also a few female) who won't understand borders in all possible ways if they're not sober.

Back then a lot of that dark shit was swept under the rug, let us be very clear here. That's the sad price to pay for fly-by-night events without proper security, EMS and whatnot else that is required for licensed events.

UMich has a couple other linear algebra courses that might be better for that: MATH 214, MATH 217 are the numbers if I remember correctly. 217 is known for having a high workload and greater rigor, but some say it's worth it even for non-Math majors.

The main act starting at 1:30 AM while (thinking of the US) a lot of people work weekends or even if they don't, their weekly schedule is 9-5 and so their sleep schedule is / should be like 12-7 is mad, it makes sense that going out matches more with that schedule so you don't get cicadean whiplash from doing night shifts over the weekend.

That said, in the UK for a good while now a lot of places are closed at midnight, on paper to prevent excessive drinking and nighttime troubles. In practice people just drink more and earlier in the day.
I'm pretty sure it is knowable. The democrats spent far more.

Musk and X propaganda helped. Also Rogan and other podcasters, but look at how much propaganda the democrat side has/had. All the major media outlets. Reddit, etc etc. Plus the power of the federal government in censorship, courts and the like.

Look, I don't really care and don't trust anyone running for office much. I'm just pointing out what a winning platform would look like. MAGA won because they were speaking to things that more people found important. When the Democrats figure this out, they will be in the winning seat again. If they don't, then they will not win.

That's not quite what he's saying.

DKIM's goal is that the receiving system can trust that the message presented to it has come from a host that knows the key, and so could sign it. At the time that message is received, you should be able to assume that only people authorised to send from that domain are able to do so.

By publishing older keys, you gain deniability back, because anybody could have forged the message and signed it. Even if you have timestamps that show when you received the message, the onus is one you to prove that those timestamps are not fabricated. This is a much harder problem because secrets can be revealed later but not forgotten.

To be able to prove that you did it fact receive the message on that date, you'd probably have to record e.g. the message ID, signature and timestamp (perhaps all encrypted with a key that you can reveal later) on a blockchain, which would then serve as proof of when the message was received. Even then, you'd still have to prove that the key hadn't been disclosed before that time.

Northern CO here, my daughter had big plans of finding someplace to live with 2-4 of her friends after graduating high school, but they all quickly decided that was not at all workable due to housing costs.
The court she has filled this case in requires there to be at least 75k worth of damages to proceed.

I’ve not read the filling myself (might read it later on, but also I might not), but the article says they are looking for a figure in excess of 75k, they can amend their filing later to increase their demand, or (if they win) leave the final figure to the decision of the jury.

(I means the jury will have a say in the figure either way, but stating what you want in the filing telegraphs to the jury what you actually want.)

All this is to say the figure in this filing isn’t the figure she will probably end up asking for.

(However, all civil courts can award you is money. So when all the person wants is to have their case heard. Have their side heard, and it’s not about the money, they will often ask for the minimum.)
