> I'm starting to think the reason why tech companies are so well-valued is purely due to regulatory evasion skills and a dash of political engineering.

And how exactly is that a bad thing?

You assume regulations are good, but as a customer this is incredibly short sighted.

> Facebook doesn't have to worry about defamation lawsuits. Google doesn't have to worry (as much) about copyright. Amazon built it's business on evading sales tax. Uber broke the back of your local city's taxi medallion scheme. And so on and so forth

So are you sad that you can use freedom of speech without fear of defamation lawsuits, read newspapers on google news without paying, have cheaper goods thanks to businesses forgetting to collect taxes, and better quality cabs that will come to you immediately?

> they know how to bend governments to their will.

That's one of the best points about tech :)
Buying real assets is a good idea. Bitcoin is not a real asset until there is a Bitcoin economy, e.g. people buying and selling real goods in bitcoin, people making investments with bitcoin backed loans. It is exceedingly unlikely that a real bitcoin economy will ever develop because the factors that give bitcoin its high price (and high price volatility) oppose the factors that would give it utility as a currency.
Gnome Software UI refresh underway
I have been a tad skeptical about how Blitz.js would accomplish "batteries-included" elegantly, but 5 min into reading the (very thorough) docs and it seems like a fantastic amount of abstraction to work with. You're a genius flybayer!

2 questions:

1. How the docs read right now, I'm cautious about the "recipes" concept. It's not clear why I'd need to use a recipe to install Tailwind instead of installing Tailwind via NPM. I'd love the docs to explain what "coupling," if any, occurs with Blitz <> a recipe's dependencies, so I can better understand what I'm opting into by choosing the framework.

2. Is there a roadmap for API-only implementation, like Rails? If I want to use some of my Blitz endpoints from another client is that possible?

Thanks!
A bit petty, but the first example is an unstable softmax implementation:

defn softmax(t) do
Nx.exp(t) / Nx.sum(Nx.exp(t))
end

Well, as I said there are more than just 2 sides in this. There are multiple groups with multiple agendas. On the BLM side I see a subset of violent criminals in a movement aiming to reform policing and governance. I think they're largely wrong, but they're not a threat to the democratic process and they can be negotiated with or opposed institutionally.

In Trumpism I see a subset of violent criminals in a movement that, from the top, tried to overthrow democracy in America. Not in a sub-group, not an extremist sub-set or faction. From the top down.
"Engineering" is more than coding and engineering managers can provide insights and value by demolishing higher-level roadblocks for their IC colleagues.
Ooh this is going to ruffle some feathers in the Indian Traders lobby. Although more regulation here is almost certainly going to be bad for consumers.
> Section 5.4 talks about Unions. I was mistaken about the size of unions, which I thought always (or practically always) would be the size of the largest member,

The array'ability of the union is going to determine the size. So if you have a pointer at a given offset in one of the union'd structures it may need to increase the size of the union so that when used in an array the pointer will always stay aligned. (Same goes for any other type with alignment requirements).

How does one maintain mental sanity working 3 jobs at a time? I can sort of understand working long hours but 3 jobs? Even in relatively poor country like India, I've never seen anybody working in 3 jobs. Even 2 jobs are very rare.
OK. But a voxel representation has to be a closer match than a mesh. I guess overhang, solidity etc still need to be calculated and dealt with. Which is non-trivial.

Is it that "mesh to G-code" libraries are more mature than "voxel to G-code"?
And yet the guy making bogus app clones with subscriptions makes millions from the App Store (and Apple takes its cut).
Is that top 50 brands graphic real?

I recognize every brand on there and know at least a little bit what their consumer-facing products are... except waze (until now).

I realize it might just be me, but I wonder if this is some kind of vanity graphic?

(I have been at a company that would periodically pay for brand surveys, that would always tell us how great our brand was doing. I don’t think there was anything explicitly untoward going on, but I think the consultants were finding a way to tell us what we wanted to hear. I wonder if they same is going on here?)
Profit is a lagging indicator that often leads companies astray with short-term decision making at the expense of long-term relevance.

Look at Apple before the return of Jobs (though at that point, they were having profit issues too - but what lead to that was arguably short-term thinking).

Today, I'd argue Intel has made similar decisions that put them on a bad long term path.

MS would have stayed alive for a while, but been a shadow of their former self.

Obviously, it's hard to prove a counterfactual like this - but this is how I model it.
No worries! I figured it wasn't intentional, but it made it real hard to read until I switched to reader view haha.
RSS is useful as a creator because it's so under-specified that you can create valid RSS with virtually no effort (ie: printf). It's a huge pain to consume it because every single library needs to have crazy hacks to do things like double-unescaping HTML.

Atom is the better format, but - like any time you work with XML - you should never try to hand-bomb string output. Use an XML library, or preferably an Atom library.
These two things may be very difficult do distinguish in practice. In many cases the only difference will be in how you describe the situation.
In which case, I've won!

Seriously though, I think you were probably lucky to have experienced zsh that way. The out of the box experience is incredibly bare. Said as a fellow oh-my-zsh user going back the full twelve years, according to the history of oh-my-zsh's jnrowe theme ;)

I do believe there is a lot of useful knowledge to be gained from working back towards zsh first principles though, especially if -- like me -- you spend hours a day alongside the prompt.
Code isn't worth as much as people think without the humans.

I would challenge you to ask yourself why you want to wait until you're dead to share these things. Why not share some of them now?
It's true, and a bidet proper isn't necessarily needed.

I haven't used an actual bidet in a while, but I honestly find it hard to fathom not washing my butt after pooping now that I've started doing it.

Yeah, the big part of this for me is how awful lots of mailers make unsubscribing. After going to conference I usually need to unsubscribe from a bunch of new mail lists, and so many just redirect me to a vague page where I can modify the type of mail I get, clicking an unsubcribe link should just unsubscribe me, not make me hunt around on their site.

"tardamail.com is too new, temporarily blacklisted" is what I see in the mail-logs.

Seems like something I can't do much about at the moment, and should correct itself in a while. It seems to get past most spam-filters though.

Instead of addressing the specific arguments made in the article, this post offers some unsubstantiated ad-hominem claims and an irrelevant and overblown analogy. So now we have another piece of evidence suggesting that critical thinking is not straightforward.
Apple Pay is separate from In App Purchases and the app store is not needed for its security features you seem to like. Ironically, a payment processor like Stripe is usually the thing facilitating Apple Pay support on the backend.

Rush created a market for his product. He offered his show for free to AM stations in exchange for leaving open breaks for commercials aired by the program. This at a time when AM radio was dying due to it being supplanted by the superior fidelity of FM stations. The station owners were happy to fill up the time slot of 12-3PM EST when no one was listening. He was able to open a market and create opportunity where no one else saw it.

Well.. I think if there was a blockbuster movie that came out with Brad Pitt starring as Il Duce and it clearly articulated the origins, I think it would have a significant effect.

The prescriptive/descriptive discussion doesn't mean much to me (although DFW has a great essay on it if you are so inclined). I just wanted to throw my 2c in with the guy being downvoted, because I think he's right. I think the extent of Average Joe's historical knowledge is basically whatever Hollywood has made movies about. AverageJoe thinks that the Nazis are Nazis, and Fascism is a more generic term which contains the Nazis and other 'far right' groups.. and who knows, maybe _it is that_ now, but lets be honest how we got here - that nearly everybody, even the most vocal 'anti-facists' are historical ignoramuses. They think that by merely existing they have the necessary information to assert their opinions on historical/political movements. It's a joke
> regulatory evasion skills

You will be surprised to know that from your corner store florist to Walmart and from Bank of America to your child's babysitter everyone is obstructed by regulators of all kinds and to some or large extent all businesses are successful because they have learned how to evade government regulation. I remember a lecture by Aetna CEO who said the only competitive advantage they have over competitors is that they have far better handle on the regulation.

If I were Amazon, I would do the same and as an Indian citizen I am greatly happy to see Amazon going so out of the way to help me get what I want.

> People in tech are being paid massively not because they're postdocs with good credentials and amazing skills, but because they know how to bend governments to their will.

It is other way around. The regulators in DC are confused as to how they will regulate the tech. They simply can not as the people are hooked to Instagram and Snapchat. If you give a free hand to DC people they would want every internet user to have a "internet license" and their search history be made available to every possible alphabet soup of government agency.

The price of bitcoin could reach $1,000,000. That still does not mean it is a real economic asset. It can not be used to produce goods or services without converting (selling)to fiat at some point. It can not be used efficiently (competitively) with high transaction costs and deflationary supply. Money does not produce value. Price does not produce value. Hodling non productive assets does not produce value. See Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations."
I actually built something that was the complete inverse, RSS to email. Avoiding email because your inbox is full is like deciding not to drive because you didn't fill up the petrol tank. It's just putting a problem off to the future.
At least locally, breaking the taxi medallion cartel was a godsend if you lived in a poorer part of time / needed to get places on a weekend.

There had to have been some deals on backend to keep things the way they were - insane shortages of vehicles on weekends and no service to minority areas - with Uber you can get dropped and picked up most places I've found even dicey ones.
I don't think Python's type system is capable enough (yet) for something like this. However tail recursion optimization to me is a non issue - for something expensive and deeply nested I use an iterative approach, and for everything else python's recursion is good enough. There are not that many usecases like this per code base anyways, in my experience. In my current one there is one central facility to do object loading based on yaml definitions, that's the one place I need it there for example.

I dunno, based on what you wrote about the process it sounds impossible to actually fire someone.

Unless they are so toxic that everyone hates them, they’ll be able to swing performance to an even average.

Or at least squeak along until they leave of their own volition.

I can kind of see why that would be annoying to someone that used to be able to make personal arbitrary choices from his own authority.
This is something that was unknown to me until a few years ago and I believe it's unknown to many in the tech industry. I make a close to Google-level salary in my position (say, 85% of it) in a tech company and I barely do any work (or better, I do some work for some hours a week). Little accountability, zero stress. And when I say "I barely do any work", I mean that when I hear start-up people ridiculing the typical Google senior-and-up IC who works 30-35 hours a week with weekends off, I say to myself: that's crazy, what would they think of me working (barely) 1/3 of those hours? Would I be the village idiot?

There is always some drops fear trying to find a way up my limbic system whispering to me that one day this will be over. One day, I will have to work for real again and I will have to pass tough interviews and have new, possibly demanding bosses. But this has been going for more than 4 splendid years, very long-termism tend to make one's life pretty dull, and my dream is to open a bicycle shop anyway.

As a famous ad campaign used to suggest: "Think different".

That's about as objective as you can get.

> my manager hits me up at 11pm asking for something

One thing I learned about management is they are getting more than salary, usually there is a bonus or RSUs attached to everything they do. But they aren't working at 11pm for the good of the company if the good of the company isn't directly benefiting them. Keep that in mind the next time you respond to that midnight email.

> they go to the other dev who is happy to do it at 11pm.

Believe it or not this dev sounds like management material. That's not a compliment! If you think back to every belittling, sociopathic manager/director story you've observed or heard, these are the places they are formed. Now some managers are great leaders and you recognize why they are in that position. The majority are sycophants who kiss the right ass, by working at 11pm on a saturday.
yes, that's correct. With both the drivers (podman, containerd) you can run OCI containers without the need to run docker daemon.

IMO, or atleast when we were making that decision, a key factor that we considered: Since docker has been more ubiquitous as a technology and millions of users have already been running docker in their infrastructure (and containerd under the hood without even knowing that it exists), containerd has seen the test of time a lot more than e.g. podman.

Also to add, containerd as a system is very pluggable and flexible. You can swap out an entire subsystem and write (plug) your own with containerd. e.g. you can write your own custom snapshotter and use that if you don't want to go with the default.
e.g. The firecracker-containerd project (https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker-container...) wrote their own devicemapper snapshotter.
From my limited understanding of podman, I believe it's geared more towards security and making containers rootless, which was a pain point in docker initially, since everyone ran containers with root.
Sure, but is that super uncommon? I’m judging by the number of people I went to high school with who now live with their parents. They could all treat it as a fallback and otherwise follow in pg’s footsteps, but none of them do.
Why is everyone talking about allowing third-party app stores and not side-loaded apps?

I've been watching the series and haven't heard that quote. Might just have to read the books now.
Your comment is likely to get downvoted to minimum because it's out of touch, but it does raise an interesting point. Some people have way more of a compulsion than others. Other people's compulsions don't make any sense to someone who doesn't have them (ever seen someone with OCD do their things?), which explains your experience of bewilderment.

The better question is, what's behind the difference in behavior?

Reading the wikipedia page on semaglutide, I was a little confused why one wouldn't just use the peptide it's an analogue of, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). It states the only "differences are two amino acid substitutions at positions 8 and 34, where alanine and lysine are replaced by 2-aminoisobutyric acid and arginine respectively."

The article explains that the substitutions increase the half-life of the substance in the body, so I understand that as an advantage of the drug over the naturally occuring peptide. This would be important with an injection. But the skeptic in me wonders if, the drug now is available in an oral form, if the real reason for pushing the drug over GLP-1 is because the drug can be patented and GLP-1 cannot.
And rightly so. Your google equity is absolutely disconnected from whatever product you are building there. External forces are more likely to affect it than anything you do personally.
Interesting the Wikipedia page has a slightly different take on the story, where a promise to the King kept them from scaling to the top of the peak.

> The only confirmed attempt was in 1957 by a British team led by Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Roberts. Climbers Wilfrid Noyce and A. D. M. Cox climbed to within 150 m (492 ft) of the summit via the north ridge, to an approximate altitude of 22,793 ft (6,947 m). Adhering to the word of honor given to the then King Mahendra, Noyce and his team descended without stepping on to the summit - thus publishing the only climbing record of the mountain a year later

> There have been reports of a New Zealand climber, Bill Denz, making a successful yet illegal attempt to the summit in the early 1980s.

This is great. Its an even-handed, digestible outline of the current status quo that mostly steers clear of political hot-buttons in favor of level, systematic thinking.

My only suggestion is these code snippets are fire on Twitter for a lot of people getting their RT/likes/following on.
