He has worked there for 2 years at staff level. This is the same about me (staff swe with more YoE than this guy in a lot more varied roles) professing about how all the things that implemented are simple at my new company who scans 1 billion objects a day - because I didn’t fucking write them

The guy is full of shit.

Look at his other blog spam

The formula for prioritizing is literally this simple: Am I working on the most important thing right now? If not, drop what I’m doing and go do that

Utter trash.

Look at his CV. Tiny (but impactful) features ///building on existing infrastructure which has already provably scaled to millions and likely has never seen beneath what is a rest api and a react front end///

I know this type. I AM him. Exaggerating my way through roles saying the right things through self promotion at the right times.

> I’ve also written Python and C in production

Absolute miss truth. A single line edit to existing applications/a pet project CGI server.

This is EXACTLY what I do.

Appreciate the hustle, but don’t assume “because github + writes blog = knows things”

My local MP won’t do anything and basically dismissed me as a pedo/terrorist for even considering talking against the OSA.

What can be done if those who represent you, don’t?

No you didn’t. Hacker news moment.

Bun has lots of issues and lots of incompatibilities with a lot of packages.

5 seems to do a better job with copyrighted content. I got it to spit out the entirely of ep IV (but you have to redact the character names)

Back when openai released python interpretation it was trivial to do what they did there. There was no open network access, the only thing of interest was a little insight in to how their developers program. A couple of internal configuration files.

This is literally the same.

Hacker news (or social media in general) echo chamber

These were significantly more cool when internet access was rare

That is what it says when you do it though.

Now instead of being explicit all it takes is someone unfamiliar with t strings (which will be almost everyone - still few know about f strings and their formatting capabilities) to use an f instead and you are in for a bad time.

A good prompt. You don’t just ask it. You tell it how to behave and give it a shot load of context

In typical HN commenter smugness. It took me less than that to realise it was bullshit. It didn’t make things clear, it made them more abstract and more resistive to change. Similarly with DDD. Just build what you need and deal with the consequences of inevitable change later. No one cares if you miraculously perfectly modelled your “definitely the final form” of your domain from day 0.

Oh and TDD?! Ah yes those perfectly defined unit cases you write for implementation details. The best comment I read recently (sorry I can’t find it) something akin to “The first unit I write is to validate the intended side effects through properly exercising associated mocks”

As with everything there is no “best way” to do something, but in software engineering… there are far more bad “best ways” than best “best ways”

Yes. I detest orientalism and the fetishisation of Japan in software development space. Thinly veiled racism.

So can google translate app or apple’s equivalent

Yeah but it’s not a continuous function - is that allowed?

Within the rules of the game

If floor a legitimate mathematical function?

2/2+2/2…

Then you just add it multiple times

And if 0 is an integer.

2/2-2/2

Cool LARP bro

Why where did you do

If you find that anything besides a poor dry explanation, that is on you. I am sorry this enrages you.

Eigenvalues in an oscillating system describe its resonant frequencies. Its eigenvectors can describe motion at that certain resonant frequency. Imagine a bridge. If wind or traffic match a resonant frequency (eigenvalue) it would be dangerous. Engineers can redesign it to change the corresponding eigenvector and shift the eigenvalue (its resonant frequency for that mode of oscillation) to a safer range. See that bridge in London.

Skip to last chapter.

So he learned nothing you already know at 15. Or younger in Asia.

I think he forgot his goals because it doesn’t even mention eigenvectors.

I am surprised because it is not a difficult thing to understand? It is a vector that when multiplied to a matrix (which in almost all cases would change the direction of the vector), in fact only scales it - and does not change its direction.

The scale factor is its eigenvalue.

So if you hav [[2,0],[0,3]] this should when multiplied to a vector give you [2x,3y]. But if you supply the vector [1,0] or [0,1] you see that the result multiplies that vector by two. So any multiple of these eigenvectors (e.g. [10,0]) will result in a doubling of the vector.

This is not a difficult concept. By any means.

Yeah in theory. In practice that never happens for anything other than a vercel app.

Why do people consistently like to make their lives harder in software engineering?

“Not me” bruh.

That’s not true. Don’t shame me like that

Dude, but what’s mine say?

Yea but this is HN where everyone is a disruptor and doesn’t play by the rules

Great video if you like watching videos from the front of BART which is pretty boring tbf. Much better videos of locos travelling through the alps
