Most of the time with this model, it's not a quick and dirty hack that is the result of spiking, but the design fleshed out with maybe stubs for a few of the low risk (to the overall design) error pathways.

The whole point was getting to a design that fulfills the feature requirements but for which the contract boundaries weren't known going in.

Devlog #7: custom async runtime
The chat is so bad people end up @ing the whole team in the team channel just to get people to see it. It fails at its most basic purpose.

There are seemingly countless different ways to start a chat. You could start a thread in a channel (or is it team?), or just start a new channel/team, or invite people to a group chat. There ends up being a forever growing list of chats/rooms/whatever because people can't find the previous one so just make a new one.

People are forever accidentally starting a new thread instead of replying to the current thread. Most stupid UI ever. I find 99% of the time people just want flat chat and find whatever the easiest way to get that is.

And why the hell do you need to give me a top level notification that won't go away when someone "reacts" to the thing I've just said in the chat I'm still viewing?!

Oh, and the random breakages. It seems every other week they break code pasting. Currently viewing images is broken for me. I just have to keep retrying until on the tenth time it finally works.
However, that TLS implementation still thinks accepting TLS 1.0 is not only a reasonable default but also something you won't ever want to switch off except via an "I know what I'm doing" setting, and their "default" configuration has rusted into place several years ago.

As a Polish person who has been seeing this sort of mis-encoded Polish text for over two decades now, my gut instinct is to immediately reach for the encoding menu. That menu is gone now.

We live in the era of almost omnipresent UTF-8, but it simply feels wrong to remove backwards compatibility with older documents on the Polish web that are mis-encoded like that - and there are still some of them out there.
This was a great primer. I have a senior diabetic cat. It’s not unlike trying to manage diabetes for a toddler. He might eat all his food, he might not. He might eat and throw up an hour later… it’s a tricky disease to manage. He’s had a few episodes of hypoglycemia and it’s scary. Can’t imagine having to face that with a child.
We used Teams at my last job. It was unpopular and we didn't use it a whole lot since the building was small enough that we could just... ya know, yell.

Then MS introduced that weird semi-forced threaded discussion feature that make following conversations a nightmare and nobody, not a single person in the whole company, sent a message over Teams ever again. We kept running it to appear online, but literally nobody actually used it.

We did spend a fair amount of downtime talking about how much we hated Teams, though. And Azure DevOps. More than one person there considered it some of the worst software they've ever used, and they're right. It was a horrendous mess or awful UX (but tons and tons of charts for the managers to value far too highly).

That was a year and a half ago or so, maybe it's better now. But at the time, having switched to that from Gitlab, it was atrocious and we avoided it as much as we could.

I use a copy machine to back up my password list. The pages go in my fire safe with other important papers, and a second copy off-site.

I guess you could just take pictures of the pages and save them to a thumbdrive or an SDcard, but I prefer the lower-tech solution.
What's even more frustrating is the disparity in who can get them and how even if they are cleared for use in your country. The author here points out that New Zealand's medical system doesn't always pay for CGMs, while the Australian system does. In Ireland, the Dexcom G6 system is available but the FreeStyle Libre 2, an updated version of the FreeStyle Libre with more frequent reads and better alarms (Libre vs Libre 2), is not.

CGMs are available over-the-counter, just like finger stick machines, in a variety of countries like Canada and Ireland. But in the United States a prescription is required for any CGM even if insurance doesn't pay for it and insurance generally only pays for it once you are actively on full-time insulin treatment, so type-2 diabetics can't avail of insurance to reduce the cost of potentially not needing to go on recurring insulin by getting a handle on being pre-diabetic. (Plus many doctors won't write a CGM Rx for someone who isn't type-1 or very symptomatic type-2. This has resulted in nutritionist businesses springing up whose purpose is to turn a credit card charge into a prescription for a CGM.)

But of course different countries have different regulatory systems, we all know that. This is to say that even when you find a system and method that has worked for others in your online community, that method might not be available to you, and it causes even more stress to have the idea, right or wrong, that a useful tool is just out of your grasp. And carbohydrates help you if you dare move between countries.

Yes, this a very good approach - it gives people the opportunity to double check and spot it themselves, and it gives you an out if you're wrong. Bit of the old socratic dialogue.

If you're ever in the Houston area, I highly recommend going to see NASA Johnson Space Center. They have a full-size replica (?) Saturn V rocket on its side, you can see.

You simply can't grasp how big these rockets are until you see it up close. It's like a tall building blasting off into space. They're humongous.

I hope to one day see Starship up close in person as it takes off to space.
gravity did not need to be discovered :-) everyone was subjected to it all the time

on a more serious note, for what is worth, discovering radioactivity was accidental, there was no premeditated thought process, so that does not count ;-)

now when it comes to relativity - that indeed required a radical idea, the constancy of speed of light. Which required a genius. Like bitcoin. I did not say bitcoin was better than the theory of relativity, I said on par.
Yeah, not very convincing.

Most apps connect to the internet for all kinds of stuff - updated assets, uploading your photos to some service, getting information, and so on. Which apps would that exclude? Even an on-device wordle game might ask for access to share your daily score. What after you give it then? It can do whatever it likes...
I know obfuscation is possible, that’s fine, but you’re not answering my question. How is that applicable in this case?

Can you give me an example of how obfuscation prevents an app, with access to data it needs to function, from sharing that data with the developers. Because as far as I can see it’s irrelevant to this issue.
> 1) Echo cancellation. This is a solved problem and pretty much every other conferencing app does it right. Microsoft probably rolled their own which is why it does not work right.

I don't know if Teams is worse or not, but my take is that it is impossible to do right for conversations since it introduces too much lag. I sincerely prefer echoes. Old time phones worked just fine and it felt like you stood next to the person you were speaking too instead of speaking through some filter group delay.

Different carbs affect people differently, but for me rice was a big no no, whole wheat was OK, and corn was great (whew!).

So, Thai was pretty bad, Chinese not much better but you can find less sugary dishes. Indian was actually pretty good as long as I didn't gorge myself: The fat in the dishes helps slow down the sugar absorption so you don't get the extreme spikes, and you can pair it with a whole wheat roti instead of rice. Mexican was GREAT cause, corn + beans (beans were the best!! so much fiber and protein, barely any spike when eating them). Italian is ok as long as you make it yourself with whole wheat pasta and eat lots of meat and cheese. French is good cause they have lots of meat-focused dishes. The best meals for me were like a pork chop or steak, greens of some kind, and quinoa or whole wheat mac n cheese or polenta.
Certainly -- the one about censorship today. Censorship is obviously a tech topic.

It's also an evergreen, but that applies to lots of topics that are routinely allowed, e.g. copyrights, diversity, antitrust, or other legal topics that intersect with tech.

Just yesterday there was the lengthy discussion of the atomic bomb & WW II, which is arguably less relevant than censorship.

Ex office dev here. Actual dev work is done on i9 workstations running 64 gb of ram, and usually located very near an Azure data center, regardless of where the dev works. The result is that it's fast for us.

>And the code sample you show differs only in that closing quote isn't indented. You don't explain why and how that change would affect the generated string.

Hi there. This is explained in the spec in a few places. In the examples section it explicitly states:

> To make the text easy to read and allow for indentation that developers like in code, these string literals will naturally remove the indentation specified on the last line when producing the final literal value.

> If the indentation behavior is not desired, it is also trivial to disable like so:

I thought that was clear as the prior explanation says that we remove the indentation from teh last line. And then i show how you can disable it. Specifically, as you noted because the closing quote line is no longer indented. Cheers!
Be more precise when using the term 'antivax'. The protest isn't about that; it's about vaccine mandates. You can very easily be pro-vaccine and against the mandates.

This is serious stuff, thanks for sharing.

I've thought about this in my own life just seeing the the pressures on people who work to maintain connections across fractured social groups, who work to cultivate community. It can be very hard on people.

Also reminds me of this quote by Andrey Krutskikh, a Kremlin cybersecurity expert:

> You think we are living in 2016. No, we are living in 1948. And do you know why? Because in 1949, the Soviet Union had its first atomic bomb test. And if until that moment, the Soviet Union was trying to reach agreement with [President Harry] Truman to ban nuclear weapons, and the Americans were not taking us seriously, in 1949 everything changed and they started talking to us on an equal footing. I’m warning you: We are at the verge of having “something” in the information arena, which will allow us to talk to the Americans as equals.

(https://themoscowproject.org/collusion-chapter/chapter-2/ind...)

I can only assume that he's talking about some methodology related to this "conflict propagation" and that Russia isn't the only state actor pursuing these things.

To think that critical dynamical modes in social networks are seen as opportunities to be exploited... it's wild but I guess not surprising.
Intel Unveils New Xeon Roadmap, E-Cores Coming to the Data Center
Sorry to hear what you are going through. A couple of comments from someone with an interest in the topic, but obviously not your practical experience on the front line as it were:

(1) You mentioned ISF (insulin sensitivity factor), but what you did not mention is that this is not a static factor. It is possible to significantly improve insulin sensitivity through diet and life style, and this is particularly useful for people with T1D. Part of this is to adapt to a significantly less carb-based diet. This is absolutely doable, carbs are not an essential nutrient.

(2) "If your BGL is high for a while (with high levels of ketones)" - this sounds wrong to me. Ketones are high when availability of glucose is low. In many ways this is the ideal to aim for. Ketones are a substitute for glucose, produced from fat. If the person is well adapted for producing and utilizing ketones, s/he can replace carb consumption with fat, which is insulin neutral, and avoid the wasting away of muscle mass which happens with T1D, because the body is energy starved and breaks down protein for glucose.

Just some well-meant input, hope to not sound glib in the context of your challenges.
But also true for many.
Parent of a seven-year-old T1D here. We've had him DIY looping (Omnipod, Dexcom, LoopKit) for years now. (Wow, time flies.) Cannot recommend this technology highly enough.

Actually, there were a few big wins, in series: started with MDI (multiple daily injections) and finger pricks. That was awful with a two-year-old, lemme tell ya. Then we got CGM (and Nightscout). That let us sleep at night. Sometimes. But we still had to perforate our small child several times a day, sometimes holding him down as he screamed. Eventually we got a pump, so needles were far less frequent. Got a prescription for some numbing cream, which helped a lot, too. And then came Loop. Loop streamlined the meal process and gave us a lot more margin for error, and it cut down on ad hoc corrections. With Loop, we now sleep _most_ nights. And things feel almost normal most of the time.

Carb math is still a lot of work. (Admittedly, we're probably more precise than most people.) And the whole system can just stop working well for reasons you can't discern sometimes. (Nah, it's always a growth spurt.) But this combo if T1D tech has really, seriously changed our lives. I'm so grateful to the folks who built the open source parts of it.
I found it depressing. Ships aren't built to stay in the harbor, and rockets aren't built to lie on their side rusting.

They say we couldn't build another Saturn V if we tried. Apparently that old saw is true enough, at least for the original contractors.
Helpful post!

I think a lot of these lessons learned apply to any larger organization (> 10) that has well defined internal structure with an eye to scale or has already scaled. I recently transitioned to working more within a larger organization (with a lot of healthy cross-team collaboration), and had to learn and relearn many of the same lessons.

I also tried and failed here. We ran our own speech engine with a custom model- but it's extremely expensive as a cloud service, and incredibly tough to reach acceptably high accuracy in different environments. Adding NLP on top of error-prone transcripts will multiply the error rate and lead to all sorts of weird actions.

I really think on-device models like we see in Android's Live Caption tool are a major privacy boon, and they're starting to reach an acceptable level of performance in Google's case. The main pathway to better performance is loading ever-more-massive models into memory, which isn't feasible for mobile devices but could be done on people's laptops in a meeting.
Recruiting is essentially advertising / marketing for a company about a job opening. Email / spam is direct marketing, which can work sometimes for recruiters. You also can do web marketing, like hackernews does for its YC companies, but recruiters would need to advertise on say, Linkedin, Stackoverflow, etc. Beyond that, you have your organic marketing, which is word of mouth, or friends of friends, but then you usually bypass an actual recruiter if you go down that route.

To me "fixing" tech recruiting is trying to come up with new ways to advertise something, which I believe is an evolving process but not something that can ever truly be "fixed".
>To go a bit on a tangent: I love TV shows where it really is shot where it is set, and the location is a big part of the show.

The Inspector Morse series[0] based on Colin Dexter's[1] novels is shot in and around Oxford, UK and is pretty darn good.

The follow-ons (Lewis[2] and Endeavour[3]) are also pretty good too.

The Inspector Lynley Mysteries[4] is also pretty good and is shot mostly on location, although the protagonist is something of a whiny little bitch. The same can be said for DCI Banks[5].

That said, Vera[6] and Y Gwyll[7] (Hinterland) are both good too, although the police force in Vera is a fictional fictional organization and is shot in various places in the north of England.

They seem like different games, with different rules. They may be inspired by the original game in some way, but they seem like creative offerings of their own merit, and it's interesting to see the ways different people's minds go with it.
