No I am actually confused. What normal CEO _wants_ a union? A few random ones maybe; but the average CEO? zero. I'm not even anti union, just anti "union protection" which is where we are with unions in the US under the current stat of NLRB findings + case law; which is just a fucking disaster.
These are the ones currently in my rotation. They're all excellent and highly recommended.

find and grep are mandatory tools of the Linux toolbox but I use fd and ripgrep most of the time.
>flex, bison, and LLVM

Don't feel bad for wiring up ready components, the common wisdom (which I imbibed by reading lots of tutorials and half-reading random interesting sections of compiler books and telling myself this is learning) in compiler land is that the things that happen at the very beginning and the very last are not the core of the problem and abstracting them out is safe and even preferable for a language designer to do.

The "Parsers are uninteresting" meme is off course very widespread (often unfairly, parsers and parsing algorithms can be a gorgeous rabbit hole), and I feel that a corresponding "Native code generation is uninteresting" meme is beginning to take hold. Despite much rote repetition, they are mostly right. Parsers and code generation have two things in common :
1- They are very well formalized, with sophisticated algorithms that could take a declarative notation and generate what it describes. (grammars for parsers, 3-address codes and other virtual assembly languages for code generators).

2- They are relatively stable, there are only a few major families of syntax styles, and only a few major mainstream architectures.

So you have a complex task, but once done it's relatively stable and static. It's algorithms and architectures are very complex and error-prone, but they could be painted over with well defined specifications that other tools can consume and do the heavy lifting for you. Sounds like the perfect storm for automation.

In contrast, lots of problems in language design are those quick shifting sands of ergonomics and other problems where the tradeoff landscape is so large and varied there is no obvious "one way to do it well". Packaging and importing libraries, cheap editor and IDE integration, how to make human-friendly also machine-friendly, etc....

This is not to say that parsers or code generators are "Solved", only that they are just slightly above the nastiest chess or alphaGo game, sometimes manageable, sometimes ferociously difficult, at other times downright impossible. Always interesting and worth exploring, but never ambiguous or murky.

Tooling, semantics and other design/social problems are more like how to best raise your kids or how to make a just and lawful society, sometimes people can't even agree on what seems to be the problem.

So, naturally, the constant formal parts of the compiler got formalized, was hidden behind declarative specifications, and further exploration and implementation was relegated to academia and R&D departments. The social aspects and murky design problems are what drives people designing new languages. (for purposes other than learning)
Why can't a passion be serious or popular?
> You can either be "truly free," or you can be a member of society. You can't be both.

Says who?

I am one of the, according to you, stupid Americans who loves and demands freedom. I am forced to live in society and I am forced to participate by paying taxes. I don’t want your shot or your schools or your healthcare. I want to be left alone. You may think I am stupid but I think you are too.
Microsoft (presumably) did train it on their open source repositories, since those repositories are public GitHub repos. They didn't train it on anybody's private repositories.
Yes, that's exactly right. It can only be true if there were 400M US covid infections. There are only 330M americans. I'll put my basic math skills up against any "high quality source" with a claim this ridiculous. The IFR is just plain not 0.15%. Period. That value is simply wrong. Or the paper might be from very early in the pandemic (and... wrong). Or most likely the comment above has simply misinterpreted it, deliberately or not.

An IFR of 0.15% for covid is laughably ridiculous.
I didn't know freedom of speech had a cooldown timer.

I’ve never heard of annual brake lubrication in areas that use road salt. Seems excessive to me. I’ll wait until they start screeching and do it then maybe.
It is sad to think there are people out there that actually want tyrants to win against a distributed system for information and justice.
The right answer is for everyone to get vaccinated as soon as it is available to them, preferably with the mrna vaccines. Then we don't have to worry much about treatment because the disease will no longer be a part of our daily lives.

The terrible side effects you speak of effect an absolutely miniscule number of people relative to the hundreds of millions who have had the vaccine with no such effects.

Previous to this summer I wasn't so certain that the vaccine should be effectively mandated but after seeing the effect that vaccine hesitancy has on people I know longer think there is any reason businesses shouldn't mandate their employees and customers be vaccinated.
I think asynchronous communication (https://blog.doist.com/asynchronous-communication/) moves in the right direction on this.

99% of things are not urgent, and people should not be expected to be available instantaneously. But implementing that requires discipline on the part of the person sending the message.
I wish it had a more generic part number so I could swing by an oreillys and ask them to see if they have a part in stock.
Daftcloud looks v interesting. I've also experimented with DI.FM recently too.
The writing has been on the wall for quite a while. I got us off our last classics this year due to the october date they had been saying before.
Have you personally destroyed the climate because of what one of those people said? Or are you immune to it through some kind of superiority of intellect or luck of living in the one final correct culture of true information in all of history?
>Killer carps

TIL this was a bug and how it was a bug! Wow! Back when I played DF it really seemed like it was simply accepted folklore that the carps in DF were really strong and the common advice was don't build your base too close to rivers. Having not played in a long while, I had always thought this was intended.

I get the sense that you (& many others) believe that GM should have acted as a regulated bank ("know your customer" rules), as a regulated securities rating firm, and/or as an authoritative moral inquisitor & judge with regard to NKLA.

GM is none of those. (And they were not proposing to acquire NKLA, for "due diligence" to apply for that reason.) They are a car company. Their execs' duty to GM shareholders is to not stupidly squander GM's money. The contract was a "win or wash" situation for GM - so that duty was fulfilled. They don't have to even do - let alone produce - a written analysis. The same goes for GM's contracts with the supplies of tires, floor mats, wiper blades, etc. for the cars they assemble.

Certainly one can accuse GM of acting rather uncaring and sleazy with regard to NKLA. Nothing special about that - most older people (at least from parts of the U.S. where the auto industry is concentrated) could tell you that all of the big auto makers got over their "Don't Be Evil" idealism many, many decades ago now.
It’s worthless stock
I recall many years ago playing Team Fortress. 100ms ping time was decent. But whenever it got the 30ms range my score kill / death ratio would skyrocket. They later implemented code to stop low pingers from dominating.

Same thing with mouse. Wireless mouse feels unnaturally sluggish to me now. Was years before I realized that it wasn’t just in my mind and most gamers use wired.

> Cal Newport: But this had a huge impact on the ability of those frontline workers to produce the work that actually was measured, the work that actually brings profit into the organization, because now they had to wrangle with word processors and they had to wrangle with email and they had to wrangle, later on, with these intranet forums where they’re trying to enter in their travel reimbursement, and they’re trying to do their conflict of interest declaration in some sort of weird format that makes life really easy for the HR department, but takes up the whole afternoon. And you ended up having to hire more of the frontline workers to get the same amount of work done. Their salaries were more expensive than the support staff. You actually ended up worse off. [emphasis added]

This is one of the big ones. My previous office took a 10-year break from having real support staff. They tallied the numbers (because time entry was detailed enough) and realized that with 1200 or so engineers and scientists each having to do their own training reports, HR paperwork, travel planning and financial reporting, they were costing themselves a huge amount of money. They ended up hiring small support teams for some of this work at a fraction of the previous cost (numbers not coming to mind so I'm not including them, but the support teams totaled to under 20 people, I just can't remember if it was closer to 10 or 20). The savings showed up within the first couple of months as the new staff quickly become experts (from doing it constantly) in the work and people handed off the non-core work to them.

Specialists in mundane "administrivia" (essential but not necessarily interesting) work don't cost a lot, but can save a company a ton of time and money in the end.

> I actually think, and this is a provocative claim, a lot of economists don’t agree with me here, but I think actually in the non-industrial sector, so in knowledge work, productivity has actually been going down. The only reason why it looks stagnant is that we have added a lot of off-the-book hours in the early morning and the evening.

My present team is definitely guilty of this. I, personally, refuse. At 1630, my work day is done. The most I'll respond to (because we support multiple sites) is a text asking if I can be at some specific location the next day. I will not write up a report (official on my work computer or unofficial as an answer to a question over text, if it's actually important I'll have already sent an email during the work day). The rest of the team is not as effective at quitting at the end of the day (as evidenced by the 50 messages I just saw on that muted text thread they have going). They aren't getting paid for this time spent thinking and communicating about work, they're all salaried (by my contract I'm paid by the hour, I'll accept the 1 minute or so every week for the "where can you be" question, but nothing more).
Free Software Projects Shouldn't Sell Keynotes to the Highest Bidder

The UI is already removed in current builds of Windows 11 but the engine remains. That's due to release this year.
I mostly agree. I think it looks kinda neat, but not at that price. I remember when all the podcasters were pushing it last year and the buzz died off. Then when the buzz started again recently I thought it had already come out and faded away...guess not.
The kit looks amazing. I'm sending their website to my avocado farmers. I think they would benefit from their other product, The Tile, so they can finally optimize their crop watering cycles inexpensively.
To get a sense of how far one could push these fruit problems, see Matiyasevich’s Theorem (http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Matiyasevich_theorem).

My understanding is a bit fuzzy, but it basically says you can encode any recursively enumerable set in terms of solutions to Diophantine equations (i.e. integer polynomials).

In particular you can encode, say, the set of all Turing Machines which halt in terms of the solutions to some integer polynomial.
Robinhood Has the Worst Debut Ever for IPO of Its Size
Are you sure those people are stupid (ie. they care about the environment and want to do the right thing but mistakenly do the wrong thing instead) or simply putting their personal convenience above the convenience of others? To be stupid, I think it would have to be an action that goes against their own interests.

Tragedy of the commons isn't caused by stupidity but by selfishness. It's different.
The point is, if they're sure they won't be recycling copyrighted code wholesale, why not include their own in the training set. Surely their internal code is higher quality than the average git repo, which must be 80% abandonware (if my personal repos are anything to go by :P)
Basic CSS layout features are missing from IE. If you want have a toolbar with some icons in it, you either have to do some hacky things with negative margins to prevent double margins on the edges or you can set "gap: 10px" on the container. Sure, the negative margins did get the job done, but at what point do you stop wasting all this time doing everything the more complex way to support a browser almost no one uses and has not been updated since 2013.

The CLI lacks discoverability and initial setup wizards. It's not good for your first exposure to an AWS service.
Since edge has an IE mode, there is no reason to not just drop it. Internal sites can keep using compat mode and external sites automatically use the chrome based engine.

This is every remote meeting in my experience, regardless of technology. The first 5-10 minutes or longer are spent getting everyone online, seeing and hearing each other, resolving echos and feedback, etc.
Not at all. You are confusing copyright with theft of service or other stuff.

Closed source benefit from the secretiveness of compiled software.
As another nice-while-it-lasted data deal, Verizon used to allow previously-used SIM cards to connect to their LTE network. Once connected, all TCP/IP traffic would be redirected to a captive portal page.

There lies the problem; UDP traffic could still flow freely. Yes, that included OpenVPN (WireGuard hadn't been invented yet). I never really abused this, but someone must've, as when I checked a month later, activation was strictly handled through phone calls; previously-used SIM cards no longer received any type of LTE service.
But publicly accessible doesn't mean public domain. Microsoft has shared even some of their private code with others like governments. No doubt with strict licenses which they expect to be honored. AGPL and other licenses on publicly accessible code still matter.
The web is already the defacto computing platform.
The recent changes to the API in 0.50 look good. The number of iteration passes really shows. Out of the available open source editor frameworks, Slate is probably most similar to Notion’s internal editor system. If I had to rebuild on a framework tomorrow, it’d be Slate or ProseMirror. Still if I used Slate it would be with the expectation that I’d end up owning an aging fork of a forgotten version at some point.
Why do they need a disclaimer about it being for "entertainment only"?

Kinda takes the fun out of it. You already can't buy it on there.
Sorry, I didn't wanted to write it like that was psychosis somehow.

I meant, causality as I understand, it could be not a fully understood concept. We could still find evidence - in the future - that there are phenomena capable of "evade" the cause-effect principle.

I am not suggesting but saying that the CCP has a pool of members to tap into and is able to force companies to make them members of their board. Junior members will grow older, can be board member of small companies in the countryside in the beginning, then evolve as they grow. Older members can be board members of 10+ Big companies.
Medical Review Officers actually have access to prescription histories. I'm not entirely clear on how it works as I haven't personally seen that end, but they can verify non-negative results without speaking to the donor and report the result as negative (clean) to the company. They only need to speak to the donor if there's a non-negative result and they have no prescriptions that could cause a false positive for that. Also the MRO contacts the donor directly using the information on the chain of custody; the employer is never made aware that there's something abnormal about the sample.

Electric boats without that petrol motor noise would be welcome in many area's.

Though what is needed is an easy drop-in solution for existing boats. That's the breaker and charging.
How fast would that charge? Like 1k winds for 1%?
To add more speculation, the idea from the movie "Tenet" could be a way to effectively surpase C in long distance communications: reversed entropy matter.

You could just send a ship or some kind of vesel with reversed entropy to a star and it will arrive years later, but years sooner that it was launched.

Matter is more or less energy, what if this trick could be done with reversed entropy energy: radio, x-rays, gamma rays, etc.
I can only imagine something along the lines of radicalism towards other religions to the point where Facebook starts moderating it. Which will happen and will be counterintuitive to what they want to achieve.

Sounds like a pile of buzzwords.

Why does a boat need "over-the-air updates"?
Nice comment. I’m not sure that having a Thomas Jefferson on staff would be enough to make a difference though. The real Jefferson had one goal: build a sustainable democratic country that respects the civil rights of its citizens. Your Facebook Jefferson would still have to build an online system that prioritizes facebook’s financial health. Respecting the rights of users would be secondary.
Used it for an interview and was pretty disappointed in the video quality. Rather choppy and audio felt really compressed, but that might just be on the far end.

Google Meet, at least after their redesign, works really smoothly for me. We use it for our day-to-day meetings at work with non-government clients. Pre-redesign I really didn't care for Meet though.
I get the sense that the real problem isn't so much synchronous communication but the need to get information or reconcile state with a specific person. If any team member was equally capable of providing input, each individual would only have to poll 1/n as often
I stopped reading at "over the air updates".
If you've ever bought an emergency hand-crank flashlight you'll see that it takes a tremendous amount of cranking on a pretty big coil to get a decent amount of electricity. On that small crank, you would probably have to crank for hours nonstop to get 20 mins of gameplay.
Same reasons a car does, presumably? Better battery efficiency as software gets smarter. Auto-driving/docking features that are developed after you buy. Fart noises on the dashboard. Etc.
> If you believe "the vaccine turned people into the Hulk", thats a mental health problem.

Can you identify anyone who actually believes that? Keep in mind that people don't always have logically consistent beliefs, and they sometimes exaggerate their beliefs so they're not even true at all. If I really believed that claim, I would be making a bet with somebody who doesn't believe it and prove myself right by finding this hulk and asking them to punch a hole in a brick wall of flip a car over or something like that. Are there people who have put their own skin in the game like that to support that belief? If not, you're probably strawmanning.
I'd hope to prove a point someone would now force a gay christian website designer to design a gay lifestyle is sinning against god website, but chances are that poor designer doesn't even support these culture wars.

And this would be different to the cake incident of the three bakers who wouldn't create a cake with the message 'Homosexuality is a detestable sin' here the refusal was allowed on obscenity reasons.

We need to differentiate between individuals who are the business and companies. And also between objects including digital objects and the abstractions that involve the sellers self. This is hard, but we should try.
