This is a terrible video. Doesn't even have dates right. ECUs have been locked far before 2017.

I don't like the lack of buttons/knobs for things like heat (they can be configured based on the weather though), but most of his complaints are just trash.

The S58 engine is spectacular, the handling on the 2024 M4 is amazing.

My only real complaint is when the CarPlay integration comes up as "Unknown Song, Unknown Artist" and I have to change the media source to get control of it from the steering wheel buttons.

>$1000 per month is considered expensive as hell for an EC2 instance, but no developer would work for $12000 a year.

If using Python instead of what we use, our cloud costs would be more than double.

And I can't go to CEO and CFO and explain to them that I want to double the cloud costs (which are already seen as high).

Then, our development speed won't really improve because we have large projects.

That being said, I think using Python for scripting is great in our case.

Actually, the Duden article I linked above says (under "Bedeutungen"):

1. (männliche wie weibliche) Kinder gleicher Eltern, nur im Plural. Beispiele: "die Geschwister sehen sich alle ähnlich", "ich habe drei Geschwister (wir sind vier Geschwister)"

2. einzelner Geschwisterteil. Gebrauch: Fachsprache; auch schweizerisch Beispiel: "das ältere Geschwister"

So, you are correct, the singular form is only used by the Swiss and as a technical term. So maybe the game shouldn't contain it at all? Or accept both "das" and "die", in case someone thinks it has to be plural?

If it forces you to keep running with more and more speed just to stay where you are, I wouldn't call it as "benefits of society and civilization". A lot of what we call as progress is a forced transformation of basic needs for the gains of business and politics not people.

Even the healthcare, which everyone thinks as a "benefit" of the progress, only resulted in having lopsided demographic pyramid with countries full of old people. I can't think of single scientific result benefiting the human race in its evolutionary goals.

The horror of needing to replace a routing layer. Why is this not a solved problem?

This is an undervalued advantage of using steady frameworks like Rails that in essence is the same as 20 years ago, but with lots of extras. I don’t remember any big changes in the routes at least. Nor in any of the other basic building blocks.

You could come back to rails after a 10 year break and pick up pretty quickly where you left off

> No, It was obfuscated since around 1.8 when you (Microsoft) buy up Mojang Studios. before that? meh, It wasn't.

Huh? This is not true. The very first version released in 2009 was obfuscated with ProGuard, the same obfuscator used today.

The reason Minecraft 1.7 was a popular version for modding was because Forge was taking too long to come out, and the block model system was changed in a fundamental way in the next update. Has nothing to do with obfuscation.

> The motive behind this is probably due to them finding out people can not get their mods/server software updated in-time (due to extra work required) and this leading people being really reluctant to update their versions.

Not really accurate. The Minecraft modding and custom server software ecosystem has more agility right now than it ever had in the past. In the past 5 years, a remarkable shift has occurred: people have actually started updating their game & targeting the latest version. Minecraft 1.21 has the highest number of mods in the history of the game.

> Manufacturing has disappeared as a share of GDP, but that's not because we make less stuff.

We assemble. The actual parts are largely made overseas.

Because location matters, assemblers in China are able to do better work at a much lower price, see every Chinese EV company, or Chinese drone companies.

Heck in China you can buy a competent Chinese EV motorscooter for less than a kids bicycle in America.

I still feel lost just trying to view my application logs.

I don't want to pay for or lock myself into, "Azure Insights".

I just want to see the logging, that I know if I can remember the right buttons to click, are available.

The worst place to try is "Monitoring > Logs", this is where you get faced up front with a query designer. I've never worked out how to do a simple "list by time" on that query designer, but it doesn't matter, because if you suffer through that UX, you find out that's not actually where the logs are anyway.

You have to go down a different path. Don't be distracted by "Log Stream", that's not it either, it sounds useful but it's not. By default it doesn't log anything. If you do configure it to log, then it still doesn't actually log everything.

What you have to actually do, and I've had to open the portal to check this, is click "Diagnose and Solve Problems" and then look for "Diagnostic tools" and then a small link to "Application Event Logs".

Finally you get to your logs, although it's still a bad way to try to view logs, it's at least marginally better than the real windows event viewer, an application that feels like it hasn't been updated since NT4. ( Although some might suggest that's a good thing. )

It is not a “handshake agreement”, but binding written agreement with terms constraining the governance of the restructure OpenAI entities.

Well, the thing is that RISC did win. It is just that the RISC that won is the one that Intel baked into their x86 chips.

The Pentium introduced the idea of micro op codes though the Pentium Pro was the first chip to really run with it. The CISC x86 instructions were converted into simpler instructions internally. These micro op codes could be pipe-lined, executed in parallel, and executed out-of-order.

If the Pentium II really razzle-dazzled, it did it with RISC architecture at its core. The CISC instruction decoder added a bit of die size but that did not matter much and Intel had leading-edge manufacturing tech.

The internal parallelism was also put to good use by adding SIMD instructions (MMX). These first appeared in the Pentium MMX and Pentium II but the Pentium III did it much better and of course Intel has continued to add more powerful SIMD stuff over time.

RISC did not win only inside Intel chips of course. Every successful ISA since the 90's has been RISC including ARM and RISC-V. But even RISC chips feature some complex instructions these days.

> What I want to see is for government to do its job and stamp a big "DENIED" on OpenAI's request to reorganize

To what end? How thrilled would we be if an adversary nation did this to its golden goose?

> it's about the social contract we hold corporations to in exchange for allowing them to exist

Their job is to create wealth. For the time being, OpenAI is creating wealth to the tune of the GDP of the Phillipines or Norway [1]. If it's puffery, pursue it afterwards. If if not...we gained the annual production of a Nordic petrostate. When it goes public, we'll earn tax revenues equal to the entire economy of a small EU member.

Wealth doesn't make right. But I'm failing to see an incurable harm here that outweighs the upside.

Don’t you think you’ve been influenced by propaganda? You have admitted yourself that you couldn’t even find information on Naomi Wu.

I’ve lived in Europe my whole life. I’ve never been robbed or felt unsafe. It’s also a very diverse region so it’s hard to generalize. But the supposed “decay of the west” is mostly internal propaganda from our very own anti-migration right wingers.

But regardless, I’d take having a 0.001% chance of my wallet (which contains zero valuables) being stolen versus being silenced by the government for criticizing the regime or being unable to acknowledge your sexual orientation. Let alone all the history rewriting and censorship.

If an alcoholic has been clean for decades, he is still an alcoholic, because the second he takes alcohol again, his brain switches back to addiction mode. That's the thing with addictions, they even destroy the good feeling you initially had about with drug.

When you are staring at a wall all day, you can probably think of a lot of other things you could do and did. When you stare at a wall all day, and think of nothing and enjoy it, then I would say you have mental problems. The problem isn't that you do something for a long time, the problem is that you can't think of something else or can't control you to do something else, even if you want.

The internet used to have all kinds of crazy sites, anyone remember rotten.com?

It was a lot more uncensored and anarchistic. It wasn't dedicated to consumerism and sold out to corporations.

We had personal websites, blogs and such. No, it has definitely changed for the worse in terms of personal freedom. Enshittification is real.

What definition is that?

Merriam-Webster: "the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person" and "ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause" [1]

Cambridge Dictionary: "information, ideas, opinions, or images, often only giving one part of an argument, that are broadcast, published, or in some other way spread with the intention of influencing people's opinions" [2]

Wikipedia (quoting Encyclopedia Britannica): "Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented." [3]

Wikipedia further quotes NATO's 2011 guidance for military public affairs definition: "information, ideas, doctrines, or special appeals disseminated to influence the opinion, emotions, attitudes, or behaviour of any specified group in order to benefit the sponsor, either directly or indirectly" [4]

I think that OP's use of the word is well in line with each of those definitions.

I encourage you to revisit what you know about the club of rome and what was actually published in the Limits to Growth paper. We have been disturbingly on track for a lot of the variables that were of interest back then in the “business as usual” model.

People tend to dismiss anything and everything around resource constraint thinking by doing the quick Ehrlich quip, and never really dig deeper into where people like Ehrlich ever got their ideas to begin with.

Reminds me of some ~10 years ago I found a dirt cheap game in a budget bin in some store. It contained a few plastic, pre-painted, miniatures, that had some kind of special base with bumps on (possibly in some unique pattern for each miniature?) and then you were supposed to install an app game on a tablet and place the miniatures on the tablet to move them and have their locations (badly) tracked. Seems like it may have been a similar technology, but you only had to pay for the playing tokens and use a standard tablet. Not sure if special hardware is needed for better tracking of enough tokens or if a standard tablet today could be used with the right software?

Game(s) that you were supposed to play was not very fun, in addition to the tracking not working well, as I remember it, but I may still have the miniatures somewhere. There was another game from the same company that I also bought at the same time, but that one was made to be played with a phone camera as some kind of AR game instead, moving some plastic objects on a table, that also worked about as well as the other game.

Noted. Actually mods wrote me about this, apologies, I won’t use AI in comments here. Dlog is a private journaling app with optional goals and project lists. it’s not a team PM tool. The coach is optional and journals stay on the Mac by default. Concrete product feedback is welcome. I’m tightening the site copy and will keep replies brief, but in some cases provide links for longer. To keep both people who prefer brevity and depth happy. Take care. Johan.

I like the article. And I applaud any physicist trying to come to grips with our conceptions of reality AND reading up on philosophy. That being said, he's neither the first nor will he be the last, nor is "perpectivism" in epistomology a new thing. I like, however, how he is throwing in several streams (I saw James, Nietzsche, Kuhn, and even Rorty and Wittgenstein II) of thought, centered on Kant's ideas of the noumenon and its inaccessibility. I don't think I agree with him, though ;)

If I had to label him, I'd say he is mostly an anti-realist.

My first real job out of school was supporting Windows NT on Dec Alpha for a company in Canada.

Things were so weird and wonderful back then. You could get GCC from Microsoft for Windows NT 3.1 for Alpha (crazy). And when Windows NT 4.0 came out there was the FX32 subsystem that ran X86 apps on Alpha (very similar to Apple Rosetta but much earlier).

I did not realize Canada was such a hotbed of Windows NT RISC.

> 1. Do you really need a queue?

I'm a java dev and maybe my projects are about big integrations, but I've always needed queue like constructs and polling from a db was almost always a headache, especially with multiple consumers and publishers.

Sure it can be done, and in many projects we do have cron-jobs on different pods -- not a global k8s cron-job, but legacy cron jobs and it works fine.

Kafka does not YET support real queue (but I'm sure there's a high profile KIP to have true queue like behavior, per consumer group, with individual commits), and does not support server side filtering.

But consumer groups and partitions have been such a blessing for me, it's very hard to overstate how useful they are with managing stateful apps.

Many parts of the stdlib don't separate between public interface and internal implementation details. It's possible to accidentially mess with data items which are clearly meant to be implementation-private.

I think this is because many parts of the stdlib are too object-oriented, for instance the containers are more or less C++ style objects, but this style of programming really needs RAII and restricted visibility rules like public/private (now Zig shouldn't get those, but IMHO the stdlib shouldn't pretend that those language features exist).

As a sister comment says, Zig is a great programming language, but the stdlib needs some sort of basic and consistent design philosophy whitch matches the language capabilities.

Tbf though, C gets around this problem by simply not providing a useful stdlib and delegating all the tricky design questions to library authors ;)

Yes, that's where I took the Swiss thing from, I haven't heard that word before. As for the technical term, to me that sounds like one of these artificially degendered forms that are en vogue to day. For anyone who doesn't knows it: 'Geschwister' comes from sister, it is kind of like sisterhood, the other term is 'Gebrüder', which is outdated now. (Yes sisterhood would be 'Schwesternschaft', I can't think of an English grammatical equivalent. Maybe something like 'sistered', the participle to sister describing the set of people you are sistered to.)

The feminist crowd just perceives a common male word as gendered and a common female word to be not.

You must have made a mistake in doing that. If you add “world” to the selection, Our World in Data adds them up for you, and you only have to divide 27253/181000. That gives you 0.1506, very close to 15%.

I think my ultimate problem with venv is that virtual environments are solved by Docker. Sure sure, full time Python devs need a way to manage multiple Python and package versions on their machine and that’s fine. But whatever they need has to not get in my way when I come in to do DevOps stuff. If my project needs a specific version of Node, I don’t need nvm or n, I just install the version I want in my Dockerfile. Same with Go, same with most languages I use.

Python sticks out for having the arrogance to think that it’s special, that “if you’re using Python you don’t need Docker, we already solved that problem with venv and conda”. And like, that’s cute and all, but I frequently need to package Python code and code in another language into one environment, and the fact that their choice for “containerizing” things (venv/conda) plays rudely with every other language’s choice (Docker) is really annoying.

The Helix mode in Zed is promising, but still nowhere near complete, and has a long way to go before it is as user-friendly as the Helix editor. For instance, the nice pop-up display of available commands. When I press “g” in Helix, I get a nice list of all the “goto” commands. This is very useful for discovering new features, and when you have forgotten something. This feature does not yet exist in Zed. And this is just one of many examples.

Stack allocation in GC managed languages is also available across C#, F#, Common Lisp, D, Nim, Mesa, Oberon, Oberon-2, Active Oberon, Oberon-07, Component Pascal, Swift (RC is a GC algorithm), Eiffel, and many others that usually are forgotten when discussing GC algorithms.

Also all modern Java implementations do escape analysis just like Go, instead of go build -gcflags='-m=3' one gets to use JITWatch or similar tooling, depending on the specific JVM implementation.

Given it still isn't as good as having explicit structs, hence the ongoing Valhala Project, that just got a second EA last week.

Finally, all this Go doesn't need to be like XYZ, usually ends up proven wrong a few years later.

Recently by adopting the keep alive and cleaner concepts from .NET and Java respectively, and a new GC implementation is in the works (Green Tea).

>but in any case that's just.. running Windows.

Yes, because as you said these applications only run on Windows. How else would you get around it, if not by running some form of Windows? At least this way, the core system (and 90% of general purpose applications) could remain on Linux.

> I don't have a Windows license either so I expect I wouldn't be able to anyway.

You can just use the install unlicensed, or, if your computer came with a Windows license (as most do), you can extract it from the motherboard and use it to activate the VM. Not sure if that's allowed in Microsoft's ToS though.

Ya, I found the author's justifications for decisions pretty unconvincing.

Of course VSCode keybindings aren't great, but there are excellent Vim keybindings for VSCode, and that's the only thing about Vim that really matters. There are even experimental Helix keybindings for VSCode, and that's the only thing about Helix that really matters. Everything else is just commodified IDE functionality, and VSCode does that best.

And sure, Microsoft is not the kind of company I want to be entirely reliant on. But VSCode is MIT-licensed. There are already tons of forks for various purposes. Switching from VSCode to Helix for this reason is sort of like switching from Chrome to Lynx because you don't like Google. Why not just use Chromium, or Brave? With the level of adoption and support for VSCode, you can bet on well-supported forks popping up the moment Microsoft does anything truly destructive with it.

I mean, if you just want to try out and learn Helix, that's great, but the usability and morality pretense is distracting.
