There are many downsides.

There are problems with using JSON for this; other formats would be better. JSON needs escaping, cannot effectively transfer binary data (other than encoding as hex or base64), cannot use character sets other than Unicode, etc. People think JSON is good, but it isn't.

Also, you might want to use less or other programs for the text output, which might be the primary output that you might also want to pipe to other programs, redirect to a file (or printer), etc. This text might be separate from the status messages (which would be sent to stderr; these status messages are not necessarily errors, although they might be). If you use --help deliberately then the help message is the primary message, not a status message.

(In a new operating system design it could be improved, but even then, JSON is not the format for this; a binary format would be better (possibly DER, or SDSER, which is a variant of DER that supports streaming, in a (in my opinion) better way than CER and BER does).)

(Another possibility might be to add another file descriptor for structured data, and then use an environment variable to indicate its presence. However, this just adds to the messiness of it a little bit, and requires a bit more work to use it with the standard command shells.)

1992 BP-100:

> World’s first watch with optical blood pressure monitor > The BP-100 calculated blood pressure by analyzing changes in blood flow measured by an optical sensor and ECG signals. No wristwatch had ever incorporated a blood pressure monitor before. Simply touching a fingertip to the sensor produced a reading — and unlike conventional monitors, it was accurate without requiring constriction of the arm.

Wow. Why don't we have that yet in today's smartwatches?

Manufacturing in western countries was gutted by the price of labor (read: rising standard of living relative to global averages).

1. It's difficult to manufacture competitively when a local living wage is in the upper echelons of global wages.

2. It's often cheaper to manufacture something semi-manually (e.g. 80% automated) than invest in buying and maintaining full automation.

It’s totally shot lol. I’ve had the battery replaced it once already, and frankly it didn’t make too much of a difference. The battery always shows 1%, even if it has 50% charge left in actuality, and I never know when it’s going to die. I don’t really use my phone enough for this to be a problem but it’s annoying. I blame Apple for shipping heavier and heavier versions of iOS that demand more and more power for no discernible reason (Liquid Glass being the latest example).

> In addition to your point, it seems obvious that disclosure policy for FOSS should be “when patch available” and not static X days.

So when the xz backdoor was discovered, you think it would have been better to sit on that quietly and try to both wrest control of upstream away from the upstream maintainers and wait until all the downstream projects had reverted the changes in their copies before making that public? Personally I'm glad that went public early. Yes there is a tradeoff between speed of public disclosure and publicity for a vulnerability, but ultimately a vulnerability is a vulnerability and people are better off knowing there's a problem than hoping that only the good guys know about it. If a Debian bug starts tee-ing all my network traffic to the CCP and the NSA, I'd rather know about it before a patch is available, at least that way I can decide to shut down my Debian boxes.

Innovation is absolutely an end goal, at least in terms of our legal framework. The primary impetus for copyright and patent law is is innovation: to credit those that innovate their due, and I do think this stems from our society seeing innovation as an end goal. But the intent of the system is always different than its actual effect, and I'm fairly passionate about examining the shear.

I run my AI models locally, paying for the hardware and electricity myself, precisely to ensure the unit economics of the majority of my usage are something I can personallly support. I do use hosted models regularly, though not often these days, which is why I say "the majority of my usage".

In terms of the concerns you express, I'm simply not worried. Time will sort it out naturally.

It's a lot more complicated than that. Eugene Fama might be a good starting point for you.

(Spoiler: most PhD level machine learning quant trading funds do not make money. Marcos Lopez de Prado can explain why that is the case: they accidentally invest in false discoveries. It's so pervasive that I often argue it's a numerical analytic proof for EMH. Most quant funds you've heard of are engaged in high-frequency market making, they provide liquidity by continuously quoting prices and earning the bid-ask spread with limited directional risk. It's not behavior forecasting. Something like order flow toxicity has predictive ability for like a few milliseconds.)

Something like this does not work: https://www.tradingview.com/v/9Ut0yL2p/

Even if it has a good p-hacked backtest with some parameters, it's not going to work in practice. It's just a novelty by/for academics.

Reports of seeing the aurora right now across North America down to the US/Mexico border. If that describes you and you're not under cloud cover (like I unfortunately am) I'd recommend going outside and finding somewhere dark with a clear view north.

Cell phone cameras see it better than people for whatever reason, so looking at it through your phone is an option.

> Can I ask you to be specific here? The worse memory corruption vulnerabilities enable trivial remote code execution and full and surreptitious reliable takeovers of victim machines. What's a non-memory-corruption UB that has a worse impact?

I guess just the same kind of vulnerability, but plus the fact that there are no possible countermeasures even in theory. I'm not sure I have a full picture of what kind of non-UB memory-corruption cases lead to trivial remote code execution, but I imagine them as being things like overwriting a single segment of memory. It's at least conceivable that someone could, with copious machine assistance, write a program that was safe against any single segment overwrite at any point during its execution. Even if you don't go that far, you can reason about what kinds of corruption can occur and do things to reduce their likelihood or impact. Whereas UB offers no guarantees like that, so there's no way to even begin to mitigate its impact (and this does matter in practice - we've seen people write things like defensive null checks that were intended to protect their programs against "impossible" conditions, but were optimised out because the check could only ever fail on a codepath that had been reached via undefined behaviour).

I don't see much hostility at all. A few people don't like them. That's not weird hostility, isn't it just self-expression? Like the stickers that oppose or express a dislike of something, which presumably aren't weird hostility either. People are allowed to dislike or disagree or make not entirely positive comments. Sure some would just scroll on, arguably that's the better thing to do, but commenting in self-expression is really fine too. It seems like a strange kind of fragility and inability to tolerate or understand that people don't all think alike which would jump to thinking that is "hostility".

You linked to something called “a piece of clothing” styled as A-POC.

The article referred to ‘the concept of “a piece of cloth”’

I’m not sure they are the same thing at all. If you are going to invoke a piece of artwork wouldn’t you get the name right and reference it directly? Wouldn’t you also use the base concept that makes the art interesting instead of 3d knitting as well? Would you reference that it is specifically tied to the completely different pleated clothing line instead of A-POC?

I got one of these from the latest batch last week and I’m not entirely convinced by it yet. I need to experiment some more but I went back and did a couple rolls from this summer and so far I think the cslite warm setting + negative lab pro results are better and more consistent. I’m still getting some wonky colour casts with it. It’s nice that the control app lets you change the power of each LED colour separately, so that’s the next thing I’m going to experiment with.

I’ll also note that negative lab pro hates negatives that are scanned with it. They don’t turn out at all. If you’re using it, you should expect to be inverting them manually, which is kind of a pain. I was quietly hoping (but not expecting) to still see some of the benefits of it when passing them through NLP.

Ever since Framework laptops arrived on the scene, I've been waiting for someone to create thicker bezels that piggyback onto the webcams' USB 2.0 interface via a USB 2.0 hub, to integrate a color eInk display facing outwards. Just for the infinite stickers.

Bonus points for integrating an outward-facing webcam dedicated to a continous background facial recognition daemon to change the stickers on the fly depending upon who is approaching while the laptop is running.

There is a London Wall Walk, starting at the Tower of London. Text copied from the plaques at the postern: (thanks Google Lens)

>The London Wall Walk follows the original line of the City Wall for much of its length, from the royal fortress of the Tower of London to the Museum of London, situated in the modern high-rise development of the Barbican. Between these two landmarks the Wall Walk passes surviving pieces of the Wall visible to the public and the sites of the gates now buried deep beneath the City streets. It also passes close to eight of the surviving forty-one City churches. The Walk is 134 miles (2.8km) long and is marked by twenty-one panels which can be followed in either direction. Completion of the Walk will take between one and two hours. Wheelchairs can reach most individual sites although access is difficult at some points.

I have had the opposite experience living in the south. The cars with the most bumper sticks around here are owned by conservatives. Today I saw a truck with a US flag in place of its tailgate, "I back the blue" painted on the rear windshield, a Trump sticker, a sticker that said "Don't steal! The government hates competition." and more.

Man, this might be the worst timing ever. I get it's a solid start, and the visa-free policy's a nice touch for letting more foreign tourists see the real China up close. But right now, the country's biggest headaches are unemployment through the roof and the private economy going down the drain. Oh, and don't forget nationalism's surging worldwide. It's totally a step in the right direction, but yeah, expect it to fizzle out with not much bang at first.

What is happening right now is that legacy carmakers have to compete harder because their core know-how lost value. That was somewhat inevitable, but banning/destroying that industry 10 years earlier would have hurt much more and would have been punished hard by voters.

> In Europe it's more a question of economics (like cost of electric cars for example) than a push back against pro-climate efforts themselves.

This is exactly my point- people don't like to suddenly pay more for the same just to avoid "climate debt" (and I'm willing to bet that your judgement on this is distorted, because most people in your bubble would accept some sacrifice for climate conservation, unlike the majority).

It seems like alot of people in this thread dont undestand the dotnet stack. MAUI, Native UIs, and WASM are all interchangable. Your cross platform app could literly be built out of everyone of of these components at once. MAUI is not required for use-cases generally when you have a webUI, its really targetting at the simple UI, write-once, run anywhere crowd. Once you outgrow it, you can move to native integrations using dotnet linux/mac/windows. Or you can just integrate with webviews, and have C# backend's or WASM backends. The combination is limitless.

Xamarin turned into dotnet, Xamarin.forms turned into turned into Maui. Name another large tech company that has embraced community projects like this and pushed provided enterprise support for community driven stuff over the same period.

I was writing cross-platform apps before Flutter, angular, or whatever other language you choose for 11yrs now. Find another framework thats done this before the scare tactics of "MS will abandon this" rhetroic. dotnet is the premier cross-platform enterprise ready framework full stop. No other framwork has the backwards compatiblty while maintaining paritity with the latest OS APIs. No other framework can serve millions of pages per/sec while supporting pixel perfect UIs and code-reuse. They have invested so much money in building automation that means as soon as the OS releases an API, your getting access to it. In real world terms, this is what counts if you want to build cross-platform stuff that your clients cant tell isn't native.

I run the same code from 2014, today, in apps in all the stores. Over the years all i have had to change is various namespaces to take advantage of the latest enhancements. Code that ran on dotnet4, silverlight, xamarin, still runs today on dotnet10. I share 90% of code across all platforms yet clients cant tell they are not native apps. Thats what i call return on investment.

Granted my film scanner (epson v750) has gotten on in years the more prosumer-professional Epson scanners were good, software was still a bit janky but IIRC there is aftermarket scanner software for them.

It can do 36 exposures but you have to cut them into strips and place them in a carrier but it isn't terrible and if you store your negs in film protectors you are cutting them down anyway.

I am fairly sure the newest version (V850) is the same but be aware they aren't cheap, at least $1k+ USD but still cheaper than the next level up which are pro drum scanners and they are many orders of magnitude more expensive.

If it takes 3 seconds to fix it, then how is this some massive burden on the maintainers? The bug report pointed to the relevant lines, the maintainers are the most familiar with the code and it probably would have taken them 1.5 seconds to not only fix it, but validate the fix. It probably took more time to write up the complaint about the bugs than to implement the fix.

100-120 hour working weeks sound implausible and very exaggerated. If you are actually working for that long, you should probably stop.

Zero customers after 18 months is also not a very good look.

"""

This is AI-validated, production-grade code.

You can verify this yourself: open Claude Code, point it at the repository, ask it to audit for production readiness. It will confirm.

"""

I'm sorry, but you should seriously reconsider putting up statements like this. If anything, people will be put off by you claiming that the code is production ready because it's been "AI validated" by Claude (which in reality is often extremely shallow, something like GPT-5 in Codex is way more thorough).

Also, the project cost estimates of $150k-$220k are also way off because Claude cannot make realistic estimations, and because it wrote most of that code anyway.

P.S: We can't 'verify' anything with Claude Code because the repo is closed source.

P.P.S: I asked Claude to analyze this blog post, since you wrote the blog post with Claude, and it said:

> This is a technical demo looking for a business, not a business looking for a partner.

Plus

> The entire narrative structure (war, bombs, wife working, mother asking about jobs, crypto hack) is designed to generate sympathy and urgency. This is a sales technique, not business due diligence.

The diffs are the biggest reason I use it (beside the 3-way diff, I can't live without: blame, optimize imports, all the editor functions inside the diff, diff files/commits/branches).

Beyond that: separating into change lists (staging changes by line inside a file) and the graphical presentation and filtering of the commit history (highlighting what commits are in/out of your branch, show the git history of a section or line of code, show repo files at a commit)

What you say makes total sense. But for some personal reasons the social part of the job has always been my weak side and I'm just not interested in playing that game.

I've had fairly positive successes in the past when being a contractor. I feel like it's easier for me to have legitimacy and influence over the project that I'm doing this way.

> Lastly, make sure whatever it is you work on truly matters to the business, and understand how it ties back to the business and your customers. It can be fun (or necessary at times) to be off in the weeds on something that is technically interesting, but really unimportant to the bottom line and ultimately to advancing your career.

That's something I have also learnt from experience, and I am more often than not the one pushing for boring tech against the last fancy trends. But I have difficulties with the fact that focusing on the business means most of the time being the fastest possible, to the point that businesses would rather save 2 hours of implementation time now, even if it costs weeks of technical debt down the road.

Sorry, can you point to where Samoa is on a map of North America?

The messaging gets a few thousand kooks riled up, and it's been going back decades to the Wakefield study and all the random kooks who think their child got autism from a vaccine. RFK is not new. His message is marginally more popular in the US, but it is not causing a huge wave of vaccine hesitancy.

Places like Samoa have additional problems with vaccination in that the standard of care isn't that high and sometimes those errors cause people to avoid care. In the Samoa case you cited there, the inciting incident involved two kids dying due to a nurse's error which wasn't investigated. If getting a vaccine involves some risk of getting poisoned by an incompetent nurse, you might also think twice about getting a vaccine. This is very different than the RFK situation of yelling about things that don't happen (vaccines causing autism, birth defects, etc.).

So then what value does the bureaucratic process add if it's the first thing that gets shitcanned when good results in good time matter?

At the end of the day it's all people cost. Just because it's fractional lives wasted in the form of man hours worked to pay the taxes to pay for unnecessary paper pushing labor instead of whole lives doesn't actually make the waste less (I suspect it's actually more in a lot of cases).
