I still wonder why Steve Jobs didn't buy a liver from China instead of gaming the transplant system in the US.

Gaming the system did eventually get him a liver but it took far longer than if he had asked China for a liver.

Once he wised up to the fact that his all fruit diet wasn't going to cure his cancer China should have been the first people he phoned.

The man had no moral qualms with building his empire off the backs of slave labour, I doubt he would have cared about where his liver came from.
Do you know why a repo might be getting dependabot alerts when it used to have them setup, but now it doesn't, yet still gets them randomly?

Yeah, Reddit is just (deliberately!) bad on mobile.
My problem with google is that it often tries to figure out my search intent and then return results accordingly. the attempt might be commendable but for many types of searches they fail miserably. when they misread my search intent, the results are completely awful.

and to make matters worse, 95% or more of the web isn't even being shown to users and so I keep getting the same stupid search results: which is fine for many cases but not all cases. sometimes I need more than just another post by NBC.

I will say, google search is very good at technical searches, that's for sure. But, for example, they totally suck if you're looking information or doing research on financial matters or economics.

Emacs has several. M-x term is elisp all the way down, M-x vterm uses libvterm but it's still very customizable and expandable on the Lisp side.
My first job out of college had a strict(er) dress code. It also had the lowest average competence of any company I've worked for, by a large margin.

The places that have been the least strict about supposedly "professional" things like dress code, hours worked (etc.) have all been the most professional in terms of quality of work and mutual respect.

From that perspective, dressing more formally can be considered a signal of having the wrong priorities.

That said, while I don't think I would necessarily wear a suit to work, I want to use my dress-code freedom to dress up a bit, in a way that I think looks flattering.

Paradoxically, I would maybe shy away from the suit during the interview, but switch to it once you've been hired and established your credibility.
I saw a driving simulator built with an actual car and a couple of reality engines driving projectors that were projecting on screens all around the car. It was a pretty impressive setup.

Now you can probably build that out of forza, a decent gaming pc, and some hobbiest electronics.
Also: security?

I expect my terminal to be a much more secure environment than my web browser. When an application starts communicating with the internet, I have no choice but to treat it with the same level of scrutiny as my browser.

Even making telemetry opt-in means that it has the capability to send information to the internet that I don’t know about, which means that I have to treat it like an application that can do that.

Honestly, this freaks me out. It’s an angle I’ve never considered before. Now I need to make sure my current terminal emulator (kitty) isn’t sending information to the internet without my permission.
Theatrical "Stereo" in the 1960s and 1970s was handled via a magnetic strip. I believe it was 4-channel, 3 in the front and one in the rear.
This depends on user preference and query. Some users want answers to a question, other users genuinely want to find websites.

If I search for "what's the weather now" I probably want to get an answer "like an oracle" as you say. But if I search for "riaa vs napster" I don't want an "oracle answer", I want a list of several websites so that I can learn more about the case. I'd like a search result for court documents, but also commentary from news websites and blogs, and maybe wikipedia. I want to open those tabs and come out the other way with more information, but there was no "oracle answer" to be provided.
GitHub Actions has a lot of basic usability issues, none of which are fatal but all of which irritate me on a daily basis.

Let's start with the first and simplest: Why did my build fail? You'd think this should be front and center. Yet, the UX is "click through a couple links, then wade through thousands of lines of log output". In practice this is "download the logs and grep them for text strings like FAILURE".

The only way we've made this livable is by writing action code that sends test failures to a slack channel, and more or less ignoring the GitHub UI.

Second usability issue: Restarting a build. Happens all the time because of some flakey third-party service. It's pretty much my primary interaction with the GitHub Actions UI.

1. Click on build name

2. Click on "Re-run jobs" which brings down a dropdown menu

3. Click on "Re-run failed jobs" menu item

4. Click on "Re-run jobs" button on the confirm dialog

Seriously, after five times going through this flow I'm screaming for a JUST RERUN THE FUCKING JOBS ALREADY button. What's annoying is that this used to be better - the dropdown and confirm dialog are recent additions. The UX is degenerating.

The irony is that we migrated from CircleCI because they were screwing up their UX, and we figured GitHub would make something better... sigh.
I recall when you could use a terminal and not once type 'git.'
Not with the French liberals, they are really not popular, but still they are suggested for no reason.
I think this misses the most important thing about predictions:

* has been "10 years away" for many years: could be tomorrow

An example would be "How long before a computer beats a grandmaster at Go?" The answer was "10 years away" for decades, right up to 2015, and then one day in 2016, that day was "today".

I can’t help but think this is sarcasm.
I think you could build a really good terminal if you had $23M to piss away.

I strongly doubt you can create a good terminal if it also needs a business model that can recoup $23M.
Japanese 80s City Pop is one of my favorite musical genres - an outgrowth of the huge economic growth happening in Japanese cities. Big funky happy instrumentals and lyrics often alluding to glamorous lifestyles, social isolation and an unquenched loneliness.

It was a very interesting time in Japan's history, which I personally think has a lot of parallels to the current west-coast tech bubble.

I have a hard time taking anyone seriously when they drop something like this: "MacOS felt a kind of dumb, and does so ever since" ... I mean...MacOS is just *nix these days and has been for 20+ years. I jump back and forth between it and linux pretty much all day long and I see nothing that indicates that macOS is any dumber than linux.
Oh hey, that's my thesis! Happy to answer any questions you may have about it :) There's also the OSDI'18 paper here which may be of interest: https://jon.tsp.io/papers/osdi18-noria.pdf
SQLite has a pluggable table API (virtual table).

I thought it was sufficient to implement a different backend, but apparently that's not the case. I hope the direction they push is to extend the vtable API to make it capable of their use case.

Was Yeats thinking of sleeping "dreams" or future aspirations, though? I also wonder if the brain's "self-cleaning" process (which is what dreams are^) would function any longer if you had conscious control over it. Maybe that would actually turn out to have harmful side effects to your health? I've thought of this before when my brother-in-law talks about lucid dreaming.

Force kills resourcefulness. Good ideas are prohibited.

To resolve this, you would have to have a good idea and the capability to take governmental force (police, law). Do you feel lucky?
Dynamic loading was indeed a software update of the processor using the data carried on film. If a film contained an update, it would be contained at the start of a film. The processor would detect this, read the software update, reboot (and revert into mono analogue audio for this) and then continue off using the updated software.

There are 3 blocks every 128 on the film that contain the software update (and/or other data channels, or are unused). They're also used for something called the "Splice cache" which I can discuss if you want. The rest are the audio blocks.

As far as I'm aware, Dolby only used this once - to update from what they called version EC9 to EC11. I've also heard that it didn't work well with the DA10 - their first processor - and this may be part of the reason.
Google won because they started early and had a right algorithm. They then had the scale to grow with the internet. It would be very hard to start a new general-purpose search engine now (capital, monopoly, tech)

Nobody seems to have The Next Big Idea for a better search engine yet.
To go a step further - you probably don't even care about having the best air conditioner. You probably just want to reliably feel cool when it's hot at a reasonable cost.
A lazier position is to dismiss the views of a vague group of people as empty posturing without even clearly identifying who you're talking about.
I mean, can anyone without looking it up, say exactly what the typical job responsibilities for the Chief Impact Officer in a typical company is?

I would guess that her "job" is to have a recognizable name and face that they can put on her advertising, and probably to not go around committing crimes or doing things that would make her name less valuable to the public at large in the process.
There is no way you can trust an info box to give you that information.

Providing links is the only thing that scales, since you can delegate the aggregation work to specialists and you van verify the source.
It’s kind of like how some actors really only get into “method acting” when it allows for them to behave like assholes on set. The idea that one must be a jerk to do “great things” is a self serving lie by rich and powerful people who want to excuse their misbehavior.
Again, not sins to you. Your values dictate that being a troll, exaggerating, and lying are okay.

To others, those things are in fact enough to say that Elon Musk is a shithead.

It's as if there are gradients of human behavior, and not everyone is always a cartoony villain or Dudley Do-right all the time.
I think this comment is a bit strange in the present, considering search engines like duckduckgo, which is basically Bing promoted with a "we don't track" advertising campaign (also hashbangs are pretty cool). DDG is not at google numbers, I know, but you don't need google numbers to make money.
I don't think privacy is a very special angle to advertise from either, promising to remove amazon-affiliate blog-spam from results for example, would be a major feature in this space as far as I'm concerned. Being able to edit searches, and potentially gain some intuition for how the search space is set up, might be a much more significant feature, depending on how people take to it. It might flop but atm I'm excited to check it out
> Warp is a fully native, GPU-accelerated, Rust-based terminal. No Electron or web-tech.

I understand that this probably appeals to most readers there, but I don't like the negativity. I like Rust and Web tech, sometimes together, and I don't want my tools to shit on what I like.

We can also discuss the full nativeness. To me, the menus don't even try to look native. Is it native because it doesn't use a virtual machine or an interpreter? Almost all computers use a microcode, I think this argument is a bit obsolete. Performances matters, not how many layers or virtual machines you have.

I prefer some marketing about this terminal being fast, backed by proper benchmarks in which you can compare it against electron web-based terminals, and faster ones such as alacritty.

Counting (userspace) instructions is relatively easy regardless of language with perf stat, though it does require the kernel module. Generally speaking it should just work if perf is installed through the package manager for your distribution.

The problem isn't so much with work, which many people have mentioned, it's with careers.

The most famous quote, might be from Into the Wild: "Careers are a twentieth century invention."

I'm aware that this quote isn't entirely accurate, but I think it makes a good point.

Most people didn't have careers in past centuries, and those that did were from the upper classes. Careers as diplomats, military officers etc.

I think the biggest mistake that we made as workers is to buy the lie that we must all have a career, and always be moving up.

I think careers are something we got sold on, and it was an easy sell because having a career as opposed to a job is a status symbol.

It seems similar to the escalation in weddings. People used to get married at the church and then have people over at the house for a wedding lunch, and that was it. Low expense, people still got to see each other and celebrate together.

But over time we let ourselves get sold on the idea that upper class weddings are the proper way to do things, with the big expensive reception, the games with the cakes, and the fancy clothes you wear once.

TLDR: People want to imitate the rituals of the upper classes. Having careers and seeking advancement is another example of that. Just like expensive weddings, it can lead to immiseration for no good reason.

PS: If you are in tech, one good alternative to a corporate career is to be a freelancer. You can take contracts, work out their term and either sign up for another term, or leave a gap between and go traveling. As a contractors you can also remain neutral regarding office politics.

I disagree with the idea that the hardware isn't adequate. I think it is, but that the software is much harder than Elon thinks, and even after nearly 10 years, he still hasn't learned how hard it is.

I think the software WILL eventually exist. Just not on the timeline Elon thinks it will.
I hope they have fixed the bugs in this because I tried it out and we had problems on at least half of the enrollments. This whole thing smells like an aqui-hire with an aggressive rollout schedule.
That's great, thanks.
I don’t doubt any of that. The amount seems crazy not because of the potential costs, or ability to invest in the product, but rather due to TAM.

But nobody would lead a round of that size without a decent monetization strategy. I suspect enterprise focus around security / IAM integrations (hence all the telemetry).

Re: airports. You can select any airport or the city - which should grab them all (e.g. City of London (LON), London Heathrow (LHR), etc.).

Re: Noscript. I haven't tested with noscript, but have with most major adblockers. We do use the chrome extension API to open windows in the background to collect flight data and eventually to redirect you to for booking. I'll get it installed and see if I can replicate it. Might take a little bit, but I'll get there :)

Re: extension vs webpage. One of the biggest problems Hipmunk faced was that as the airline industry consolidated, they required OTA's and metasearch sites to sign highly restrictive agreements that prevented the site from showing all flights. We find this highly objectionable. By operating as an extension, we do not need to sign agreements to provide this data.
I just got an S22+. Haven't noticed any ads and it's pretty minimal in terms of bloatware, though maybe it's due to my carrier.
Social media companies aren't common carriers. People want them to be so they have to follow the same laws, but they never claimed to be neutral. They have rules, they have distinct cultures and business models. They also exist within an ecosystem of competitors - Twitter being popular doesn't mean they control communications infrastructure. Facebook serving a billion people no more makes it a public good than MacDonald's.

When Elon buys an ownership stake in Twitter, he's taking an ownership stake from other billionaires, so it doesn't make sense to think of it as an example of billionaires increasing their power in society.

Slightly OT, but whenever I see Clojure projects I think: "I'd love to write something bigger in Clojure one day, experience it, and see if it's all it was promised to be."

One 'catch' that makes me uncomfortable with Zig is the camel/underscore-insensitivity. How do you find all references of a method? Does your editor/IDE know how to find writeAll when I search for references of write_all? Do you have lint rules that are enforced for a project's source?

How do you see this different from "systems thinking"?

My current thinking about how this works is:

- Identify that there is a system

- Learn, document or describe the system

- Align your behaviors as an individual to use or change the system

The hardest part for me is the last, actually getting my behaviors to change to take advantage of an identified system.
Cynicism is well justified, given history and the present landscape.

Suppose they get this working, and able to produce, what, 300 MW worth of hot neutrons. They have to capture the neutrons and turn them into heat to boil water to drive a turbine to get out 150 MW. Thus, handle the, what, 1000 tons? 10,000 tons? of lithium needed to capture all those neutrons. And, I guess, sieve it for tritium? Maybe chemically separate micrograms of Li-3H from the thousand tons of pure, molten, radioactive lithium? And, every year replace all the pipes the lithium runs in, weakened by neutron bombardment. By remote control, because strongly radioactive.

This is clearly a bigger job than what needs to be done for a fission plant, where all you need to handle is water and fuel rods. (If you think a 1000 tons of molten radioactive lithium won't need containment, allow me to disabuse you.) But fission is already not competitive with solar/wind + storage. In 10 years, fission will be even less competitive than today. There is no scenario where this ends up economically useful.
