Every low you have now, but dealing with it while responsible for the life of a tiny person you inexplicably love more than anything else in the world, on zero sleep.
I don’t actually know if this is true, but the intuition I have is that this huge expenditure of energy is just the result of speeding through evolution. Our neural structures have evolved for hundreds of millions of years. The aggregate energy cost of that evolution has been enormous, but the result is a compact, hyper-efficient brain. Who’s to say that on the other end of this we’re not going to end up with the same in silicon?
And then the problem is scaling rapidly enough to handle those users. A whole lot of the engineers at FAANGs are running infrastructure that, for the startup with zero users, doesn’t exist.
I don't mind PHP (like I don't mind lots of things that I don't really have to deal with), but Hack is by far my favorite web language. It has most of what's nice about PHP (specifically, reload and your changes are there, memory is request-scoped, etc.), without most of what's awful (the HSL fixes most of the goofy inconsistencies, real (although still not as expressive as I'd like it to be) static typing, etc.).
In two if the three studies a third of the people who survived were able to come off ventilation. It’s not a panacea as the article says, but I suspect without ventilators the death rate would be more like 100%, and I’ll take my chances with 1/3 versus 0 any day.
For what it's worth, I recently bought a new-build condo-ownership model townhouse in Silicon Valley that is effectively a row house. Six units in a building, three stories each. It's not quite the same, but it seems to be cut from the same mold.
> AT&T has retreated from competitive pricing and said goodbye to more than 2.3 million TV subscribers in the past year.
I know that accounting-wise this "makes sense," but marginal costs after rolling out the physical network are pretty close to zero, right? How is shedding 2.3 million TV subscribers a profitable move?
I can't see the US government rolling over either, but him having security or not is not an issue. The US government has means beyond those of the average opposing gang leader if they want to shut the business down.
What are they meant to do if the world starts burning at 4am? Wait until a reasonable hour? Oncall fires at 4am suck but they're part of running critical services.
There are a bunch of exceptions to the requirement to delete user data in the law (full text: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...), the exception for data that is collected "to enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer based on the consumer’s relationship with the business" would probably apply in the cases you cite.
The switching costs alone would eat half your day, and of course they're hoping to get much more than 1/10th of a developer despite only paying for 1/10th of one.
Same. I had to go into incognito mode and specifically navigate to the page to see what the fuss was about. I don't think I'd ever seen the SO homepage before that.
I'd love to have this sort of confidence in my ability to foresee everyone's future needs, but I don't. I mean, I agree that having to do full rewrites every time your framework's version bumps, but promising no changes ever seems more constricting than necessary.
My experience with testing is like that old adage about advertising, "I know I'm wasting 50% of my money but I don't know which 50%." Most of it is a waste but it's hard to know in advance which test will stop an engineer in a couple of years from altering some fundamental contract and bringing the system down.
I think that you could make the argument the opposite direction too, that the toothpaste is out of the tube when it comes to convenience. Maybe it's all about price sensitivity, but easily available taxis are such a part of American urban life now it's hard to imagine that it will totally go away if drivers are treated fairly.
