Didn't geohot leave Comma like ~2 years ago

He left Coma for tinycorp the same way Elon left SpaceX for Twitter.

Didn't Geohot also leave for twitter?

He was only at Twitter for a few weeks, maybe a few months before quitting because it turns out things are A Bit More Complicated Than That TM. This is one of the reasons why I would feel weird about entrusting my life to Comma.ai. I'm not that keen on Move Fast and Break Things when the things are my bones.

He famously criticised the engineers there, joined, delivered basically nothing and then left.

I can corroborate this. My family was involved in a chemical manufacturing business in India from the 60s onwards. My understanding from what my family tells me is that the 80s and early 90s is when a lot of these base manufacturing inputs became readily available.

interesting (!) good to put details on the general trends. crop type, latitude and elevation, proximity to rail and other industrial infrastructure, market economics with demographics.. more? all would inform this crucial and interdependent topic

I've had to use Google Sheets a lot recently, and it doesn't hold a candle to excel. There are a lot of basics missing esp. when it comes to charting.

But I don't like excel much either. If working with spreadsheets was a bigger part of my day job, I'd switch to excel

Rare to find a fellow ST4 user these days

Fellow ST4 user checking in. It does everything VSCode does (minus remote development, which I don't need) with 1/4 of the resource usage. Just a quality piece of software that I'll keep using for as long as I can.

Does SFTP + Git on ST4 not count as remote development? Cause i am using them as my remote development stack.

Sublime has devcontainer support?

There are dozens of us! Though for serious work I'll sometimes reluctantly switch to VSCode due to Sublimes language integrations always feeling hacked on.

And lately Sublime has been mysteriously freezing and crashing my other programs (though it might be Windows' fault, unclear) so I've reluctantly started developing my own editor...

Janky LSP support is easily Sublime's biggest weakness. Hope they fix it in ST5 if that ever happens

I use it everyday and have no desire to switch to vscode.

You guys have ST4?? I'm still with 3 because that's what I paid for..as an "lifetime licence" if remembering correctly

I also paid for ST3, but I switched to ST4 for the hardware accelerated rendering. I don't like their licensing policy anymore, so I just dismiss the purchase signs. I want to get my company to pay for it because paying 100 USD _again_ is just absurd for me.

I have no plans to switch off though. This is still a heck of a lot faster than the alternatives

We’re here.

I was curious about how many inserts Postgres could handle so I made a synthetic benchmark to measure it.

Have you tried also tried COPY for batch?

Hmm I haven't, will give it a try!

Try BetterSnapTool.

As others have mentioned, this feature is patended. `BetterSnapTool` is $3 is for a lifetime license and does what you'd expect coming from XFCE/windows etc.

Signal is a not-for-profit organization.

Edited my comment for clarity

I can only speak for myself, so to me this technique is kind of like how they did colour photographs in the 20th century [1] - taking multiple photographs from the same perspective with different filters.

For that reason, I would argue that these are 'true' photographs. Sure, things have been differently exposed, maybe some ultraviolet light has been brought into the visual spectrum; but for all intents and purposes, the light from the subject(s) hit the lens(es) at the same time and the composition is true to what actually happened.

Now, with all that being said, there are many famous photos that are actually composites [2] and what makes 'a true photograph' is still hotly debated.

Digital processing is such an integral part of modern photography that trying to decide what makes a 'true photograph' is bound to get messy.

>what makes 'a true photograph' is still hotly debated

And it depends at least somewhat on the context. For photojournalism, compositing, highly misleading crops, removal/addition of objects, etc. is pretty much verboten. Whereas art/nature/etc. photography is much more flexible.

I knew someone who used to be really into photography contests at his camera club and he ended up getting discouraged and stopping doing it with the switch to scanning and then full digital because so many other people had "better" but highly manipulated photos.

Here's a great history of the autochrome, along with some gorgeous examples of it: https://blog.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/autochromes-the-da...

It's possible that Xbox serves as a loss-leader for introducing/keeping people in the brand.

For kids who may only have chromebooks at school, and macs at home, an Xbox may be the first time they make a Microsoft account. That account then goes on to accumulate digital assets and stays with them until much later when they're ready to make bigger financial commitments.

Anecdotally, for the past few years, gaming has been the only reason for me keep a Windows device around at all.

> recruiters are bottom-of-the-totem-pole, lowest-common-denominator, bottom-feeders

Recruiters are just people just doing their jobs. It's a shame that you've labelled a diverse group of people so heavy-handedly.

Oh come on. Even as engineers, it's important not to have delusions of grandeur: we're replaceable cogs in an infinite machine. Unless you're engineer #2 or work as a VP or a part of the C-suite, you truly don't really matter to the company. Thinking otherwise will only lead to heartbreak.

I'd argue that even as engineer 2, or VP of whatever, you're still replaceable.

Outside whatever thin veil of prestige your job offers you, the larger world couldn't care less about what you do or what you make.

Yes. But the supply of the cogs is limited, and to replace one you need to stop the machine. Even after the replacement you are not sure you put the right cog in. Cogs being replaceable does not mean that replacing them is costless.
