That’s true, but this repo has thousands of bugs. They could at least find one that was in the training set, but also did not contain the location in the bug description.

This way it would at least look like it may work

Most people don’t operate this way. Choice is painful and induces anxiety. There’s a high chance of getting buyers remorse even if you chose the „objectively best” model.

A good salesperson will make sure the choice process is relatively quick and painless. You will feel good afterwards knowing that all the 125 aspects that differentiate this model from the other ones are not that important. The one you chose runs your favourite apps, integrates well with your car and your home entertainment system.

Understanding this and learning how to sell helps in life, incl. negotiating architectural changes with non technical decision makers.

The author seems to ignore the fact that CSV got so popular because it is human readable. If anyone wanted a binary format there’s plenty of them - most better than this DSV.

Also, I’m on a mobile right now, so can’t verify that, but it seems the format is flawed. The reader decodes UTF8 strings after splitting the binary buffer by the delimiter, but I believe the delimiter may be a part of a UTF8 character.

Edit: just checked and there’s actually no chance that the delimiter the author chose would be part of UTF8 encoding of any other character than the delimiter itself

You wanted to make a point that time does not depend on physical location, while you chose an example that proves otherwise.

There is no absolute time in spacetime, so your calendar invite from an alien friend would include not only the coordinates on Jupiter but also a time value relative to something. Possibly Earth. Maybe even UTC, as observed on Earth.

The article is based only on the stats of a single freelancing site. It may be big, but it still represents only a sample of the overall market data. We do not know how big the sample is and whether it represented the same percentage of the overall market size at the beginning and end of the reported period.

Only the first conclusion listed mentions Upwork. The rest sounds like it reports a general market trend.

The author says the data was provided by a company called Revealera, but doesn’t disclose he is a co-founder. It doesn’t affect the quality of the data by itself but I’m always careful to make conclusions from data presented this way.

I visited a couple of new job ads on Upwork and I found that:

1. The „hire rate” of clients is usually between 0 and 70%.

2. Upwork has an AI solution for clients that makes it very easy to post a new job. Meaning it is easier than ever to think about an idea, post a new „job” and forget about it, never hiring anyone.

They are conceptually different. Kafka optimizes throughput of data.

I wouldn't use Kafka for a job queue, and wouldn't use RabbitMQ for streaming data when ordering would be important.

I like the walled garden of Apple as well, especially as a “family IT guy” who had no need to reset/reconfigure the systems or remove malware from any phones since talking the family members to switch to iPhones a few years back.

Some of the properties of the walled garden have nothing to do with security, though. They are simply uncompetitive practices on Apple part. I’m happy someone said “enough”.

I read this as a statement of fact. The Digital Market Act has come into force. The act gives the platforms (Apple included) few months of preparations to comply. Breton just reminds that the clock is ticking.

Cartography can also model any consistent universe, and I fail to see how that changes anything for the “it’s just a model” argument.

We can permutate and enumerate symbols for mountains, rivers and roads on a piece of paper. Maybe we would even get some “interesting” results like a map of the Lords of the Rings universe. How would that change anything?

Yes, that is an intrinsic property of all models. They are imperfect, and we accept it as long as the models are useful for some purposes.

My map has a text written on it saying “Pacific Ocean”, yet I would not complain if I went to this place an couldn’t find a giant object in the ocean that would look like a letter P from the skies.

Why do you think we should go deeper with pointless questions? What would you do with the answer if someone provided one?
