nice and simple, great. but because it's json, most parsers are horribly inefficient, which is tough, because a lot of geodata is massive.

i find it saddening to read things like this, it could have been written in the 20s, the 50s. there are no bulwarks, the world is more bland every day, and each time another rationalization on the way down. yet again another author fishing for sympathy for caving in. tongue in cheek of course. don't take it too seriously y'all, we're just keeping it real, nudge nudge. i want of this train. Dear snobs, all is forgiven, please come back.

you dont need to have a conversation with your plumber. be polite, say something inane about the weather, listen to their advice on plumbing, that's it. no tradesperson is aching to have a conversation with the resident nuclear physicist or whatever. leave them alone to their work, pay promptly, thank them for their time.

this is just neuroticism, and isn't really related to the ivys. it's a very common human dynamic, just follow etiquette when crossing class boundaries. the fact that the author makes it into the particular plight of the ivy grad (oh if only they had kept us humble, woe me!) speaks more to his own insecurities than to anything relating to the nature of elite education.

it's really disheartening that so much youtube content is now AI generated.

nice first-principal analysis, but little connection to material reality, you're looking back at a mere 1-2 years. it is outsourcing dev labor that has killed the domestic market. engineering roles have been moving overseas now (latin america, southern europe, india). any american dev now will have international colleagues, something rarely the case 15 years ago.

not to say AI-tools do not contribute, they lower the bar of entry to the profession after all, but any C-suite/hiring manager is much more arbitrating labor expense than AI-subscriptions.

where was this?

keen to keep an eye on this. it implies restarting shut down reactors, all the while a transfer of know how to different ownership.

agreed. zirp has become a meme, it does not really explain any current dynamics.

in no world is 30B ARR a bad thing

it's storage file is a csv? or do you mean import/export to csv?

we need sqlite for llms

im sure, but honestly, i would love to have a db engine that just writes/reads csv or json. does it exist?

> politician won't care

they dont care because nobody has a real gut feel affinity for computer programmers or the work, the sort of feeling that is required to animate somebody to action. it's never been a profession with any esteem, and the field never professionalized in the past 60 years, which is a shame, because we now see the outcome.

You're being pedantic and doing gotcha argumenting.

Pass objects by ref, I said that to underscore its better than create new objects. I get it, its the only way, but theyre still passed by ref.

Yes, [a,b,...rest] =... is restructuring and creates new object.

Named params create new objects, it's better to pass args individually, the ref creation under the hood is not comparibly impactful.

> Non-primitives are always pass-by-reference.

it's a good thing. pass objects by reference.

> Is there a behavior you think is unique to destructuring?

depending on exact syntax, will collect values in another array or object. it's often used as the mirror-pattern of using named variables, which allocates an object for each function call.

in isolation these are not inherently wrong, at scale they start to add up. and should not be used in tight loops.

lol another example of how things can always get worse.

The web is a front-end environment, where users expect 60fps, but where developers violate pretty much all the rules.

> Zero-copy is the default, not the optimization:

the amount of fluffy mapping, destructuring, temp scope-creation, ... that is the norm now for JS/TS devs is excruciating. how did this become the norm? do it once it doesnt matter, but every single layer in the app doing this and things become jittery. you first take the hit at creation time, and then another time at GC. stop doing that! Pass references around to objects, not recreate them each time at some function boundary.

> Entity as pure identity.

Stop json.stringifiyng every thing! how many hashThing() implementations i have seen that are essentially Json.stringify. stop it!

> Cache locality by default.

a little less clear for web dev, much is missing in terms of primitives. but do think about it. if anything, it's good hygiene. fixed typed array does make sense, dont mix&match types in your array, ...

Save the web, think like a videogame dev!

wrt (2) that is if satoshi had the foresight btc would ever blow up in the way it did. obviously, he had some intuition, remaining anonymous, but deliberately creating a fake trail does not seem super plausible to me

there was wage growth

it's very expensive though. i used to live in philly close to 30th and had a reason to go up to nyc regularly close to penn, essentially perfect for taking amtrak, but ended up taking boltbus just because the price difference was very significant and time wise it was only like 30-45min slower.

Wish javascript devs would read this. If the web is slow, its because of them

Would sending voyager have been a real definite deadline?

ah got it! thanks for the color

haha! it's been ok for me, but a lot of song and dance is required. the saas-version is a black box (in a bad way).

Odd to me that Elasticsearch isn't finding a second breath in these new ecosystems. It basically is that now, a RAG engine with model integration.

already theyve made youtube unusable

i rolled into tech because of archeology. started using GIS for site mapping and need for customization just got me going. ended up going to school again for compsci.

generally, students from other departments are writing the code, but current day most archaeologists can work with ready-made packages (model builders etc..) now too.

i like your optimism!

how so? Alupis explains the mechanism why not. In two party system, new electives are incentivized to achieve their program. Reducing spending hinders that, and loss of those voters who care about that betrayal doesn't really matter because they're a tiny group anyway, and realistically, where are they going to go, the other party? They have the same incentive, just for different program. That's the cycle.

that electorate doesnt exist in two party system.
