Makes me think of a toy node.js module I wrote a white back, read-or-execute[1]. I was kind of inspired by Ansible inventory. You specify a ANSIBLE_INVENTORY=some-file. If the file is not-executable, it reads that file as the inventory. If the file is executable though, it runs the file and uses the stdout. I thought it was neat that there could be either a static file, or something generating the contents, and made read-or-execute, which follows this heuristic.

I can imagine a small Go program with a builder api that outputs Yaml to accomplish this naml goal. I feel like I don't understand what naml is, what it does, how it operates, from a quick 5 minute cruise around. There's some high level vision & goals, but I feel quite disconnected from the "what is happening" part.

> currently countries have restrictions on entry most of them either insisting on you being vaccinated or to present a current Covid test

Anecotal data point #1:

I've entered Italy three times [by road] in the last six months, each time with a sheaf of paperwork to hand demonstrating my need to travel, negative test, EU27 residency, the full nine yards.

During none of the three visits did I even see a border guard / police / Carabinieri / $whoever at or close to the border, never mind get stopped, never mind have my documents checked.

There is policy, and there is reality. Maybe the gap between them in Italy is marginally larger than in some other places?
More privacy-oriented search is a good thing, I think.

I’d like more details on what they mean by private.

I do like that they have a metric for what’s independent vs personalized and I think that will help reduce the “I did Google it and my top result conflicts with what you told me” type frustrations, https://search.brave.com/help/independence
Of course, but for all we know this extra week could be the only paid vacation they have since for some reason in the USA there is no concept of mandatory paid vacation.
It is yet another indexer or yandex :)
This has already happened in the workplace. A lot of offices have computers that are 'thin clients', meaning they run a very minimal, locked down OS that only lets them connect to a cloud-based Windows environment, managed by an IT vendor like Citrix.

No data is stored on the company hardware, it's all in the cloud.
Dialyzer certainly isn't a perfect solution for static checking. But it does provide some of that to a very dynamic language. So I find it a useful tool.

Personally I'm not that keen on type-heavy programming. Do you have good examples of this mix from Typescript, I'd be curious to see what that can be like.
Just like their Ads -> BAT
Over time I found the CS degree worked out. I was able to pick up the necessary domain knowledge for my own specialty. And having the deeper understanding of how/why things work at a theoretical level enabled me to transition to new technologies faster than people I know who just "learned to code".

But yes. As a junior developer where my programming skills were roughly the same as my friends who had non-coding skills as well, there was some second guessing on my part
Somewhere a NYTimes headline writer is pumping their fist in the air...
How have they gotten there search results?
I believe that in the address bar you should get an icon to set the current site as a search provider when you're on it. On Firefox it's in the more menu at the right end of the bar.
Those are exceptions, not the rule. PR's importance is very variable. Nike, as a luxury brand, has to care what people think about it. People seeing it as a 'good' brand is the core of their business. This is simply not true for 99% of companies. Most companies on the planet could get all the bad PR in the world, and even if, by some miracle, you remembered their name, you wouldn't even know when you buying their products.

Even when you only consider public brands, doing bad things, more often than not, is just ignored, especially if they aren't a luxury brand trying to sell based on perception (Nestle).
> so you're really asking for a roll back of identity politics as a whole. Good luck with that. If you figure it out let us know.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss and try to push back. But yeah I feel the hopelessness when I get in a jaded mood too. My friend has a hypothesis that since the 3rd wave has taken hold, we'll only see a swing back once the tactics start negatively affecting the progenitors of the rhetoric, which it eventually will because the rhetoric is not internally consistent.

What gives me a sliver of hope is that people are talking about the negative impacts and how irrational the situation is now with a seriousness and subtle urgency that never used to exist. 10 years ago when I had these conversations it was all hypothetical "that will never happen cmon don't be such a bigot you kinda sound like you're victim blaming" type of responses. How quickly it's become "shit that happened uh oh.. um..".
Apparently, they have their own search index, which they say covers ~95% of queries, and if the results aren't in the index, it will then get it from Google or Bing.

I'd love some more details on how this works. They probably aren't scraping the whole web. Are they just mirroring Bing and Google indexes? They seem to have their own page ranking algorithm that they're hoping to get trained.

Anyone aware of any good podcasts about AR/VR?
I bet the amount of Windows PC sold worldwide beats that.

Yes not everyone installs WSL, because it is a tool for sell PCs to GNU/Linux developers that rather pay Apple and are neither buying Chromebooks nor Apple laptops.
They say it's their own index. That's amazing if true (I wouldn't put it past them to lie). It's super fast and the results (formatting, snippets, etc) look a lot like Google.
That explanation is wrong. That Alan Sherman song is a parody of the Dean Martin song, just like the article: https://youtu.be/69O4PXzAQ5Y
I’ve been using it. Seems like a solid search engine. Interestingly, Google appeared to be censoring results yesterday to hide reports about an unfortunate shooting at a Juneteenth event in Oakland and a subsequent situation where a crowd of people were blocking an ambulance from exiting the area of the shooting with wounded victims. Let’s just say the story didn’t play well to Google’s political base… so they hid it. Brave search provided unfiltered/uncensored results.

I used to be a data engineer and I was more burnt out despite working very regular hours.

I've jumped to software engineering and was feeling so much better. The problem with the original data engineering job is that the projects are more garbage in and garbage out then it is actually working. This created huge amount of stress for me despite everyone in the chain pushing for the same thing. I can't do it, jumped ship to a much more demanding work environment but I have liked it so much more.

There are great data science/engineering projects, but some of them are not, and some of them won't be despite what it appeared to be. Unfortunately, not all business realize this. I hope your troubles are not related to this because I can see how hard it is to jump out of that feeling except by leaving.
It's counterintuitive, but I think feeling bored sometimes is a good thing. I think being overstimulated all of the time can have negative effects on our health that we do not yet understand.
> this looks way way bigger than it should be.

I worked on the software for one of these A350 server blades nearly a decade ago, and I held the same belief at the time. There's some adage that system complexity grows to fill the organizational bureaucracy overseeing it, and that is my best explanation for the bloat. My employer (a contractor of Airbus) had offices in France, India, and the United States. Naturally, each office had to be in charge of their own separate blade(s), even if it was probably not optimal in terms of the overall system design to partition it that way.
I found the announcement blog post. Brave Search is a rebranding of Tailcat's product, which Brave acquired in March.

This is an outrageous statement.

Thomas Sowell is a widely cited and studied economist. Many people study his work (including myself!). What does his being black have to do with anything? There is no group of people ignoring him for being black.

In fact, the contemporary politics would suggest that, since he's black, he'd be democrat, but his economics are very libertarian, a group more associated with racists. So what are you on about?

People don't "listen" to him because he's incredibly biased towards free-market economics, not because his skin color.
Profanity can be removed with a regular expression. What counts as "hate speech" is necessarily impossible for even humans to agree on, let alone algorithms. It's becoming increasingly clear to me that the general public, and maybe especially the media class, has no idea that this is the case.
> Crimea is ethnically Russian and was only part of Ukraine as an accident of Soviet political history.

Every square meter in the world has multiple claims to it on endless bases, including history, ethnicity, etc. Much of the U.S. is ethnically German and was owned by Native Americans.

The only important question is, what do the people of Crimea want? It's their choice, not yours or mine or Putin's.

There's another important question: How do we country-level political changes? We can't have geographical areas constantly switching countries.
Yes, that's why we need to removing the externality of destroying goods (and all of us enjoying the environmental damage) by making it cost more to destroy something than to give it away (which may include refurbishment, repackaging, etc).

What, you tried selling a made-for-landfill thing that works half the time? Should've done your research. Choose your loss.
> I simply think there is a difference between criticism (saying you disagree or even cursing someone) and punishment (withdrawing funding, getting somebody fired).

What an extremely weird take. Are you saying I don’t have the right to decide who to do business with based on what they say, or that that’s somehow inappropriate? Restraining the right of free association to protect free speech is an awful idea.

> And I also think that the whole point of free speech is to be free of societal consequences of it

You are wrong. Full stop.

Free speech is about the right to say what you want without the government punishing you for it. This also includes the freedom to express disapproval or opprobrium. The ability to express disapproval is fundamental to free speech, any attempt to curtail that is in fact an attempt to curtail free speech itself.

If you wish to speak without social consequences, speak anonymously. This is the exact reason why the Supreme Court has held that anonymous speech is a right, to speak controversial ideas without suffering social consequences.

Also, you’re criticizing me for considering not buying a future DLC. Under your own theory, aren’t you being anti free speech for criticizing me?

> whether they have government authority stamp or not,

If you can’t tell the difference between government action and individual people expressing an opinion, that seems like a problem specific to you and not this society.

> and I think the former Soviet regimes, which started in good faith of inclusive community, and ended up authoritarian, show exactly that problem

Ironic, given that you’re proposing authoritarian responses to protect free speech.
I imagine they will utilize the Basic Attention Token for search ads, in a similar fashion to the rest of their advertising.

From the page:

> Will I see Brave ads in Brave Search beta? What about Brave Rewards?

> We’re currently thinking through different search experiences to offer our users. Some want a premium, ad-free search experience. Others want a free, ad-supported model. We think choice is best. Brave Ads with rewards is definitely possible, once we’re ready to take on the challenge of privacy-protected search ads.

I still wouldn't use it since it falls back to Bing or Google.
This essay is just one giant complaint that "The map is not the territory." No way. It is further annoying because it laments that modern progressive political concerns are not appropriately modeled in the game.

Maybe people who play games for enjoyment don't want the weight of modern problems bearing down on them during their escapist recreation. Maybe people who play games don't want to be preached to.

In fact, this essay is nothing but one of the many deconstructionist essays, one which prefers to tear down instead of build up. To highlight problems instead of celebrate what is good.

I will say this: the style of the essay was quite enjoyable, with equal emphasis on images and paragraphs.
Programmers are inherently incredibly underpaid relative to the immense value they bring to everything so if anything your working hours match what you're being paid. You may still be doing too much work.

Do not worry about it. It's not your job to worry about it.

If you want to work more, then get paid more.
> how do you generate recursive designs in vhdl?

I understand mapping a recursive algorithm to hardware, and VHDL can definitely do that [1]. (even if it is generally a bad idea) But what is a recursive hardware design? It sounds really interesting.

The effect of hobbies is that they teach you how to manage your time effectively and with discipline.

They aren't breaks or indulgences, they are the things you actively choose to do and to structure your time around, and the effect of being someone who can do that is what makes you successful in a work situation. Suffering is stupid. (I have spent a lot of time being stupid, and have burned out more than once.)

There is zero value to anyone if you burn out. Your real job is not to just "work," it is to manage your time in such a way that you provide value and can even commit with a high degree of certainty to providing future value.

Radically, I would go so far as to say that a person who does not have hobbies or other outside interests to structure their time around is someone who does not manage their time well enough to be trusted with anything more than occasional odd jobs and transaction based tasks.

Take some scheduled music lessons, do an online course, get a dog, or get a personal trainer or something that is a scheduled time commitment, and use that discipline to manage your work instead of just doing it all the time with more effort and expecting a different result.
That is really cool! I'm excited because I did similar and figured it was unusual. Would be very curious to hear more.

Myself after burning out from software, I spent a while working for Door dash and Uber, as well as a brief stint driving an NYC yellow taxi. Being able earn money without having to use and squeze allthe jucie out of my conscious mind so much all the time really helped.

It was also really interesting (I eventually got to have fun making spreadsheets to computer optimal strategies and stuff-- quite a lot of strategy involved in doing gig driving jobs really, your wage can be very different depending on your choices and insight into the local market)..... and honestly kind of chastening and disturbing, being on the "other side" of an app. When you work a gig app job, the app is your boss, and he's a shitty boss. A bug is just another jira ticket to a Dev but to an Uber driver a bug can mean losing significant revenue with no recourse and no human to persuade of anything. Such as an order just getting stuck and the app won't let you finish it or take another one and there's a long line for support. So now your shift is involuntarily over and, if it's the busiest part of day or week, you won't get that chance again for a few days. Permanently lost revenue.

Anyway, for a burntout software engineer I can't recommend this staretgy more. Just get a random job that does not involve staring at a computer and does not require a lot of education.

Boredom is the mother of inspiration.
So, note that Brave brought in the Cliqz/Tailcat team to build this: While it's a "new search engine", I'm guessing the data and algorithms they were working on previously have all made it into this project at some point. Cliqz launched in 2015, so there's a number of years of work put in.
that could be, it may help just to do some interviewing anyway. It is not the end of the world case you are not accepted, and it could spur some new thinking, or build some confidence in any case. Burnout is serious and not doing anything is worse than trying some things I think.
Honest question to those who have supported lockdowns: Are you surprised?

Edit: Apparently not.
I always thought this type of take was interesting. Profanity (and blasphemy) is offensive to tons of people, arguably more than are offended by hate speech. But profanity is tolerated in many communities where hate speech is not.

Seemed funny that calling someone a “f**ing idiot” is not banworthy but calling someone a “[insert your least favorite racial slur here]” is. So irrational race-based hatred is worse than just run of the mill irrational hatred.
Great comment. Reiterate the last point - watching netflix shows or reading Blind or spending time with social climbers - that stuff looks like leisure but doesn't really recharge you (atleast in my experience). Find out what works for you and what doesn't!
Yep, everyone loves it in the beginning and then the warts start to show. It's a really bad feeling when you get stuck not being able to do something in HCL. Then you Google it and find 50 other people had the same issue and were told _you're not supposed to do that_
>I was also expecting something like a decentralized form of cloud computing, similar to Plan 9 where you can just attach remote resources to your local PC and get instant access to their CPU, storage, etc.

This was definitely a common vision. Being able to attach machines together ubiquitously. We would be able to have a room of multiple computers, as well as computers over the network, all working as one machine; sharing peripherals, audio-visual inputs and outputs, CPU, storage, etc. And it could all be used by multiple people at once. There would be no walled gardens required to share my screen with someone else across the world, or play the same music from every device.
I have a friend with this. He pointed out to me that, technically, he can eat red meat as long as it's primate. We are apparently the only mammals without the protein in question that causes the allergic reaction. I believe I explained to him about prions, just in case he got any ideas...
> Russia agreed to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for Ukraine giving up nuclear weapons.

Every country is obligated to respect territorial integrity of others. It's not something that you get in a deal.
* Forgive yourself, realize that your enthusiasm for work isn't going to be a constant semi-obsessive joy, these things come and go

* Don't start to define yourself as burned out. There is magic in naming things and adding a label to yourself has the tendency to reinforce the characteristic. From diagnoses to identifications, realize that putting a negative label on yourself might be part of the problem

* Do identify cause and effect. What works, what doesn't. Maybe alcohol, social interactions, certain kinds of work, certain habits, diet, exercise, people, places, etc. can have effects positive and negative. These effects can also change. There are things I could do at 19 I couldn't do at 25 and are laughably impossible at 33.

* Do a phase change. Maybe redecorate, purge useless posessions, start a new diet, a new daily routine, hobby, activity, move to a new city, start a new job, whatever.

* Take care of yourself, do stuff in moderation. Getting just a little bit older can make things you could ignore impossible to ignore any more. Sleep is super important and good sleep. Try out different things.

* Realize that a job is just a job. Maybe you want to accept it for what it is and let yourself be excited by something else for a while.

* Read works by stoics, learn to accept things as they come and find happiness by buying it. You'll find that peace of mind and be bought very cheaply by accepting things you have no control over and just letting them happen.

* The honeymoon might just be over. All of them are eventually. It can just be a case of not realizing that this is what happens. Beginnings are the same as middles, and there's no reason to beat yourself up about it.
Possibly not as interesting for you
personally but I would guess that this concept would work very well for Qur'an and the Hadith.

Potentially even more so since verses often require additional historical context besides the interpretation.

Absolutely not true unless you're a kid.
Your position seems to be that Russia has the right to not respect another country's territorial integrity when that country elects a government that Russia doesn't like. And, yeah, Russia probably does in fact think that.

But if you wonder why everybody in the neighborhood is scrambling for NATO membership, this attitude is exactly that.

It's unrealistic to define "subjective" as "impossible". The ability to automate something deterministically can't be a universal bar for action. Yes, defining hate speech is a thorny undertaking, but moderating based on subjectivity is already the norm, by necessity.
