kuwoze··on SQLite internals: How the most-used database works
> if you have a deep understanding of theory of parsing and parser generators

No deepness needed, the only thing you need to know is recursion.

Also SQL is even better than that because every query is it's own statement, so the parsing is dead simple. I totally get why he did it this way.

Lol to you.

I guess the double irony is lost on people.

Will work better on it for next time.

If you want it and it doesn't exist, why not simply do it yourself? It's open source no?
kuwoze··on Why they clapped for Sam Bankman-Fried
Because he's a Democrat seeee?

Becuase he's with "the message" seeee?

Because he's all about that "effective altruism" seeee?

Because most crypto users are alt-right or republican idiots seeee?

kuwoze··on Ask HN: Which jobs will survive and which will disappear in 50 years?
lol you are indeed the cheeky comment section:

yes laying bricks in a long straight line is automated. Laying bricks in more intricate ways would take a lot more time. Also the machine still has to have human super vision and they seem to clean the mortar.

It's nuanced

kuwoze··on Ask HN: Which jobs will survive and which will disappear in 50 years?
will survive:

doctor

bricklayer

programmer

Reasons all the same: difficult to automate with AI due to non-repeating nature of work. However repeating parts will be automated, hence GP likely to be a bot, also things like co-pilot will replace most web-devs. also houses can be mass built in container-like pods and stacked. so this is very nuanced. check-mate cheeky comment section.

will not survive:

retail worker non-luxury goods

delivery driver in cities with regular grid-like streets aka most of the US

truck drivers between cities

Twitter content moderator

Reasons all the same: easy to automate with AI due to repeating nature of work.

I think the common theme is that if you want something nice like seeing a human doctor, some personlised service, or a nice brick house you are going to see a human. But this will cost tremenduously. So rich people will interact with humans for most services/products while poor people will be interacting with bots. It's already happening (auto-bot callcentre helplines). Overall very distopian.

kuwoze··on FTC restores rigorous enforcement of law banning unfair methods of competition
My take on this: the stock market tanked, us congress and senate members already sold all their stocks, and now they told the FTC it's safe to go after big tech.

kuwoze··on Gmail 2FA causes the homeless to permanently lose access 3 times a year
i thought in california there's a recent law stopping police from tearing down camps because exactly homeless people's property is now considered same "class" as normal people's hence you can't just throw it out.

kuwoze··on DocuSign to cut workforce by 9% as part of restructuring plan
lol, are you really advising people to sell optiions?
kuwoze··on DocuSign to cut workforce by 9% as part of restructuring plan
i will give you the benefit of the doubt in case you are not familiar with finance terminology.

a 5 year treasury bond right now has a yield of 4%. if you were to buy and hold to maturity, after 5 years you get 4% return. this is what is meant by "outperforms" in this context. If it was about the past, one wouled add -ed and give the start date.

now, docusign stock price is 62% down ytd (2022.10.01), and is only trading 7% over its ipo price. So I don't care what the IRR is, I predict a 4% increase from the current price in 5 years is highly unlikely and the downward move will deepen across the tech sector hence I will never buy this meme stock. I will check in 5 years to verify if my prediction is correct. you are more than welcome to waste your money on this, just maybe don't bet your house on it.

kuwoze··on DocuSign to cut workforce by 9% as part of restructuring plan
was sensible.

now that a 5 year bond outperforms most tech companies they are beginning to rethink their headcounts and all that sales and marketing spending
