Sorry about that -- I think the article presents a correct analysis of conversational computing but kind of oversells the novelty of copilot, by missing the ways older tech like autocomplete are also conversational. So it's less a change in quality than a change in quantity (that said, a change in quantity can produce a change in quality -- see [1]).

You might use autocomplete when you know what you want it to complete, but I also often find myself using it to look at the properties of an object, see what variables are in scope, "probe" the type of different variables, etc. -- all exploratory, all dialogues.

I think trauma is different. It’s more like scar tissue in your psyche, caused by a specific event but affecting the shape of your thoughts and inclinations in general. Regret is conscious reflection on past mistakes, imagining how things could have been, etc. A bad experience can lead to regret, or trauma, or both, or neither.

> It is not only the first time in 2,000 years that the area -- described as the "heart" of the building -- has been open; since the underground levels, or "hypogea," were where gladiators and animals waited before going into combat, this is the first time in the monument's history that the public has ever been allowed in.
Kaseya VSA, an RMM tool, have been attacked, creating a supply-chain attack against many, many MSPs and other customers using Kaseya. In part you could say that this is due to compromised Windows servers, but IMO that's a sloppy description that invites theories about the problem being Windows security. The problem here is Kaseya's security and a supply-chain attack isn't unique to Windows.

Well said. Grow headcount as slowly as possible (but no slower) and fire mistakes quickly is a great rule of thumb. At the same time, put loads of effort into hiring.

A lot of this comes down to resisting anything that's tempting to the ego: an expensive office in a nice building, a large headcount under you, talking to investors or journalists/receiving awards/attending seminars ... instead of simply building and trying to find the top talent that'll make the difference.
Oh wow! I often wished that something like this existed, very cool!

Yeah, minimalism is great to reduce dirt/dust collection points.

By the way, I think toilets which are attached to the wall instead of to the floor are great because you can easily mop under them.

I love understanding what's going on underneath the hood. In fact, one of my memorable classes was computer organization, when I had to implement merge sort using mips; similarly, another favorite course of mine was security, where we had to inject a buffer overflow using nop sledding, a project requiring an understanding of calling conventions etc.

All that being said, although my intellectual curiosity drives me in this lower level programming direction, I find little use of it on the day-to-day job. Only on very rare occasions have I had to disassemble the code

Bagram valley especially, is shockingly beautiful when it snows in the Hindu Kush. In the early spring, you get sunshine and lush greens against snowy peaks. In the south, the mud flooding is so strong in the winter, you can ride it like an amusement park, and it all turns into this deep silt moon dust in the summer. Khandahar had a septic pit that the base ended up expanding all around, and there’s a very slight drift in one direction that goes down one road. In August, you can smell it a little bit everywhere, but if you turn a corner onto that road, it will immediately knock you back. Sorry; unrelated, but funny.
This is a bit of a strawman. People do care about structural safety. There is an entire industry of professional engineers and building inspectors.

You don't know what you don't know. And disasters happen. After Hurricane Andrew, we learned from studying what broke, and made major improvements to building codes. Same thing will happen here.
Is there a software invention/systems equivalent of TRIZ matrix?

Some of the dimensions/parameters we wish to analyze that I can think of may include:

- latency
- throughput
- modifiability
- binary/data size
- memory size
- cpu cycles
- interoperability/compatibility
- accuracy
- precision
- staleness
- bandwidth
- availability
- etc

As a simple example, perhaps we want to reduce bandwidth while preserving data size. One of the resolutions may include compression (lossless/lossy).
It's easy to throw around numbers without understanding the people behind them. Say the plumber whose business is worth $10 million dollars, pays himself $100k, and re-invests the rest back into his business and his employees. Is he rich? No. That's the problem with ideological socialism. You just want to stick it to the guy who is rich on paper - it has nothing to do with actually improving peoples lives.
I have found that many RBL's block whole IP blocks owned by various vendors. I believe this is why Linode and others like Digital Ocean now block port 25 on VPSs and make you beg for them to open it. Too many spammers.

This is also a good reason to keep a VPS even if you aren't using it at the moment: it keeps the IP "clean" so that when you put it back into use, it is useful, as opposed to (possibly) some random IP that up until a month ago was spammer central.

An explanation of their motivations would be helpful. I’m sure it’s great for anyone that already knows they want it, but what about everyone else?

My experience managing many different flavors of *nix has been that the GNU utils are far superior, so I don’t understand wanting to replace them.

SQLite was created, because client-server database Informix (similar to MySQL and PosgreSQL) did crash and and was unavailable to connect to. There are some edge cases where MySQL/PostgreSQL can start vacuum, be corrupted, etc making client/server database unavailable. SQLite is tested with billions of test cases.

In interview:

"The idea for SQLite actually came out of his frustrations with an existing database called Informix that was installed on a literal battleship."

"Why do we even need a server? Why can’t I pull this directly off the disk drive? That way if the computer is healthy enough, it can run our application at all, we don’t have dependencies that can fail and cause us to fail, and I looked around and there were no SQL database engines that would do that, and one of the guys I was working with says, “Richard, why don’t you just write one?” “Okay, I’ll give it a try.” "

Same for me. I've heard that attempting to use WINE/JACK for progs like ableton can add measurable latency which can be detrimental when using ASIO, but maybe a full VM would work better.
This is insane. Bret Weinstein and Robert Malone have stated they don't know any ultimate verdict on the safety of the vaccine; they're just saying things like it is exhibiting higher bio-distribution than was anticipated, and 7 months of vaccines cannot substitute for 3 to 7 years of waiting on data for things like possible higher rates of leukemia or whatever given that fact. The data they are using is not from some fringe lab or government; it is from early studies of the vaccine by those involved. The spike that was engineered to stay put, didn't. It shears off and becomes a foreign body finding itself in large concentrations in the ovaries and bone marrow. I know the nano particle delivery particles are found, but where there's smoke there's fire. This from the Japanese CDC. They are simply asking for transparency and more studies, and not a group dismissal of evidence. Why is everyone quick to mob silence anyone with any doubt of what we're being told by the CDC, WHO, or big Pharma with 7 months of trials, or since the vaccines were first given. The lab leak dismissal was harsh, and now that it has more than enough traction, those who were silenced have not been restored by big tech. The wake of censorship leaves destruction in its wake that is not rectified by the truth coming to light. That would be justice's part I guess. Another BIG red flag is the total dismissal of 'natural' immunity. I have had COVID, and so has my immediate family. We still have antibodies 7 months later per antibody testing. Why will be denied freedoms from COVID restrictions? You'd have to be a sucker to think big Pharma is going to cut into their profits by advertising 'natural' immunity means you don't need the vaccine, since it is just as effective. The number of deaths due to the vaccine is a low number, and those are tightly scritinized to make sure it is the vaccine (unlike how many respiratory illnesses were lumped into the COVID figures early on), and still it is more death by vaccine than in the last 13-plus years of all vaccines combined. You can't take back the choice to get vaccinated, so the natural reaction is to dismiss any potentially horrifying news. I live with both anxieties. My older children decided to get vaccinated even after having COVID, because their universities required it for attending school. My wife, myself, and my 2-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl will not get the vaccine until more information comes to light. We feel that our natural immunity is just as effective as the vaccine to stay any panic-fueled decisions. I just hope my older children have stopped developing enough that this will not cause an unwanted side effect.
Fair enough. I guess it's different in Germany, then.

How do you compile C++ on this distribution (without gcc)?
Yes, me too. I've used void linux quite a bit which does use some BSD components like mandoc but is still gcc and GNU coreutils. I can understand the logic of using the packaging system from Alpine. I rather like pkg on FreeBSD, it feels more consistent, predictable and simpler than either deb/apt or rpm/dnf.
Before the internet, this is what we did. Read documentation and books. Now it's just a matter of applying Google-fu. I worry that this could be stunting our problem solving skills.
bike tires have a manufacturer's specified width, but it's very common for the actual width of any given model to be 1-3mm wider

for competition purposes, there may be maximum widths (depending on the exact rules, more like 33-38mm), not based on the label but measured directly
That’s needlessly reductive, treating the engineers as if they were machines that convert money into performance. But engineers are human too and this is a challenge for them. They do need money, but it’s not a given that the most money gets the best engineers.

It does change the nature of the challenge when it’s not entirely about the individual on the bike.

I use SQLite quite a bit and I've never found it to be unsafe or insecure.

Ads are a way to get someone with a product (which can include knowledge products like cico and diets) to be and to spread the word about those products.
Some things, like updating firmware automatically, are ahead of their competitors.

IMHO, the worrying things about Ubiquiti at the moment are:

1. Their handling of the security breach/downplaying/whistle blowing fiasco which came to light some months ago. Check our Troy Hunts podcast from around that time.

2. Requiring a cloud account to manage your local device. Everyone seems to do that these days. It's not impossible to remove the cloud account management but it is an extra post install PITA step to work-around. And has some consequences if you do.

I'd like to see if they've learnt their lesson from at least the first point and become less opaque security-wise going forwards. Not sure their security is passing the smell test at the moment.
In the XP days we were still looking at fairly substantial improvements in CPU speeds, but the past decade has been really disappointingly poor on that front and people are fully aware that old PCs can more than happily cope with their software needs. It is much harder to force them to do something where the tangible benefits of doing it are reduced so dramatically.
Well that's really a bold move, given the current states of their (confusing) account system and it's (even more confusing) integration, see:

This is honestly one of the few things I miss having moved into management after coding for the first 12 years of my career. I actually don't miss the coding itself much (though I still do a bit of it as a hobby). But that feeling of working on one problem for hours at a time, wholly absorbed. There really is something amazing about it.

> ...it really comes down to forming a co-sympathetic relationship...

Trust?

Young me was told that trust was crucial to effective management, high performance teams. Ok. How to do that? What does that look or feel like?

I've had exactly one trustful peer relationship. People used to joke that we acted like a married couple. We have no idea why we just clicked. We accomplished so much, worked so hard, had so much fun. Sadly, once you experience authentic trust, any thing short of that just feels like a waste of time.

I've trusted maybe 2 of my many bosses.

You'd have to ask my direct reports if any of them trusted me. I hope some would say "yes".

Older me reflecting back on all this stuff...

I had hoped life would be more win-win, a la Robert Wright's book Nonzero. But it was mostly transactional relationships, power dynamics, zero sum games (win-lose), so much energy wasted on guarding my boundaries, and then getting exploited whenever I didn't.

Basically, it all sucks.
Sounds like you missed the news from last week:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfside_condominium_building_...

That building was reported under the same safety industry and regulations, and nothing was done. We know intellectually, just as before, what happens to buildings with structural failures: they collapse. The difference is that we quickly forget the emotional or cultural awareness of the problem, and only care about these issues for as long as that news cycle lasts.
