It usually does. If a company really cares to follow GAAP to the letter, teams are supposed to estimate how much of their work should be categorized as maintenance or keeping the lights on, and that counts towards OpEx, while development wo

You should submit this! I think it’s a great idea. One way that people discover books is by listening to / reading about authors they enjoy, talking about other books and authors that they enjoy . There’s an NLP problem in there for s

I think it’s well demonstrated to be slow (ns/op) and wasteful (allocs/op) in benchmarks, especially in bigger payloads. The HTTP library is similar. Most 3rd party libs make some trade offs that are pretty reasonable to achieve s

Yeah, tinygo was originally intended for embedded, so the good news is that many significant wasm binary size optimizations are still to come, I think. Today, there are ways to get the binary smaller, but they involve avoiding certain libra

You’re talking about reversion to the mean, which is a phenomenon that’s related to the law of large numbers. Law of Large Numbers says that, over an arbitrarily large random sampling size, you will eventually end up with a sample that perf

There are go variants for this. See tinygo [1], which targeted embedded originally (iirc) but now also targets wasm. So you’re definitely correct that core Go is not an option, but options exist within the “greater metropolitan area” that’s

You’re right, but it fits in the mold of “nontraditional education” so I opted to include it. I do know a handful of people who attended RC with minimal to zero prior programming skills, though this is definitely not the norm.

In the NYC area, the ones I can personally vouch for, having worked with graduates, are Flatiron School, App Academy, and the Recurse Center. I’m sure there are other good ones, but I only personally know graduates of these programs.

You should make a $25 tutorial on how to use vimtutor :) But in all seriousness, sometimes people just need to pay money for something to feel committed to learning. Also, some people dramatically prefer the format of a human talking to rea

I think parallel reconstruction is a legitimate and productive goal, if it leads to new predictions or more efficient methods of computing results in the standard model. So far, I think (please someone correct me if I'm wrong) he'

There are plugins for importing into pass from all kinds of password managers. ( https://github.com/roddhjav/pass-import#readme ) You could setup a cron job that polls 1Pass for your password CSV, imports the CSV into to

Most password managers support auth with touchid/face id these days, I believe. The value prop if you're 100% on-Apple, and OK with this fact, is hard to challenge. If you have some non-apple devices that need passwords, that&#x27

Open protocols is the way. Then if a client starts acting sketchy or bloaty, you can ditch it for a better one. Plus, an open protocol changes the risk calculus for the group that manages the client implementation, in a way that would preve

I did several overnights on the Pampanito as a kid! We snuck out to get golden boy pizza at an ungodly hour, don't tell the parents. Played Risk and drank swiss miss cocoa till dawn. Watched sunrise on the deck. Very good memories. :)

This is true, and there's nothing we can do about it except mitigate the risks. I'll list some mitigations, but underscore that they're mitigations, and do not invalidate the problem. First, the clients are open source, so yo

Yep, I think there’s a lazy argument that tends to get made to justify the status quo, namely that inequality is necessary for innovation. Of course it is, otherwise why take risks? But this does not justify the 1000x inequality that we hav

I think it's reasonable to debate the language aspect (that's why my original comment focused on religion, which at least appears to be more homogenous in surveys). Apparently ~1/2 of Iranian citizens claim Farsi as their mot

Is it not the case that a nation can be multiethnic? I don’t see how Iran’s multiethnic populace disqualifies it’s claim on a national identity (Shia Islam). On the wiki page for multinational states, I find reasonable examples (Russia, Bel

In situations like these, it's a legitimate goal to implement an idempotent, or "functional" core. So the goal of your functional core is to fully construct the email, and return it to the caller, who then has the choice to s

I think it'd be popular among citizens who make under Y/year. You can make Y arbitrarily high, like $10m/year, and make X quite reasonable, like 30%. Stepping back, to look at whether such a tax would be useful. The chief ris

Are covered puts gambling? I don’t think it’s rational to talk about “options” as if they’re all created equal. I think you’d find fewer people disagreeing with you, if you disambiguated by specifying naked puts and long calls. Covered puts
