If you wait until the layoffs happen, you'll be competing in a much larger pool.

Thinking that it has to be located somewhere in space might just be an artifact of a classical mechanics model of the universe, with atoms bumping into each other like billiard balls in a long causal chain all the way back to the Big Bang.

The discussion of how Big Science presents a macro level threat has been ongoing since at least WWII. It's no secret that the way things are funded have introduced bias or in some cases completely undermined the scientific method. Ther

> not a monolith > I highly doubt any of them Do you see the problem with your reasoning here? If you say scientists are not a monolith, then you don’t get to make sweeping generalizations about them.

It’s not irrelevant because a herd behaves in a monolithic way.

Isn’t the whole point of Cloudflare to stop DDoS, though? Cloudflare may be able to handle a botnet that can generate 250GBps of traffic, but a few hundred problematic forum posts coupled with some Twitter outrage totally jams them up. (Pur

Hardly. Howard Stern gets views by shocking his audience. He's raunchy and sadistic, either asking people about their personal sex lives, or bringing on a disabled person in order to humiliate them. He's not pursuing any intellect

Funny, had the same happen to me. Thought maybe it was a coincidence, but getting back into my cardio routine eliminated the lingering fatigue I had after Covid, too.

Cool project. You seem like a fun and interesting person. I genuinely mean that!

Try extracting tabular data from a PDF! With XML it's trivial, but for PDF you need highly specialized software packages to do this. One of the best, pdfplumber, is largely based [1] on a Master's thesis titled Algorithmic Extract

This is a really interesting format. Researching a historical figure then producing a fictional interview with them is a very engaging way to communicate their ideas in a modern context.

The slashing can only occur if the validator can be proven to break certain rules e.g. double voting. The reports are evaluated by the network.

There are staking pools, just like there were mining pools.

I actually use Stitch so I don’t have to host orchestration, which is how I came to know about Singer in the first place. It’s true that Stitch got acquired by Talend, but Singer seems independent enough. I don’t understand why Stitch would

For server and system code, Swift is mostly competing with Rust and Go, as people consider fast, compiled, type safe languages. If you look at Docker downloads, Swift has 10M, Rust has 50M, and Go has 1B+. Compared to Go, yeah, it's no

You might be surprised. Check out Vapor [1] and Soto [2], which are built on Apple's SwiftNIO (non-blocking I/O) [3]. It's actually a very nice ecosystem. All the tools are in place to build web servers, Lambdas, etc. [1] ht

You’re on to something. I did a stint at a .NET shop and C# is still my favorite language. Dabbled with a Xamarin project a few years ago, and although it seemed like it would be fragile, it actually “just worked”.

There’s always going to be a performance penalty for React Native applications because of the JavaScript bridge, and on iOS you’re giving up ARC memory management for your app logic. For basic stuff you can write it off, but doing anything

I wouldn’t call Swift (or Kotlin) antiquated. I’m sure it’s easier to hire JavaScript developers to hack on React Native because the talent pool is larger, but I’d wager your app quality will suffer. Depending on the app, sometimes a first

Perhaps they should've taken more IMF / World Bank loans instead to reduce the majority of their population to poverty and allow multinational corporations to steal their natural resources.

You might want to check your state laws, too. DIY for mounting the panels is one thing, but tying into the grid is another, because you need to set up backfeed correctly otherwise you're putting linemen at risk. If you already know how

I have to disagree with the alt-text. (For me it says, "In actual reality, nobody cares about his secrets.") It's flippant and out of touch. Because somebody does care about his secrets, otherwise mass surveillance wouldn&#x2

Looks like Supabase does support edge functions now. I've inherited a Parse codebase in the past, and thought it was pretty gross. You're stuck building with their ORM abstractions, so it hurts when you need to do something comple

The comic proves the parent's point. Drugging and hitting people with a wrench (i.e. torturing) to extract information is exactly what police states do.

Low bandwidth for consuming, but very high bandwidth for publishing. Takes way less time to demonstrate something in a video than write up a blog complete with code samples, etc.
