RedwoodJS has been about long term maintainability from the very beginning. This is part of why we chose GraphQL as a core component. It's more complex at first, but in the long run it gives you multi-client capabilities without rewriting your backend, and provides excellent separation of concerns. We still try to make Redwood as easy to get started with as possible, but in the tradeoff between "quick bootstrapping" and "long term maintainability", we tend to choose the latter.
Brilliant! We should all start thinking more charitably of those who paddle in the shallows of our fields.

As Sabine Hossenfelder says "Who knows, we might be the first to hear .."

But also it's good to be good to others.
What Bird is really fighting over in this case is the indemnification clause in their user agreement. If this clause is not found to be legal in California, the potential liability down the road could be millions in other cases.
If it's not that surprising, then we should ready to accept that the whole gender wage gap thing is a myth, rather than to keep trumping it up as a reality.
Ah yes, just magically know that the command in the playbook isn't safe and refuse to use it during an incident.

I want to meet your principal engineers who can fully understand a command's complete set of side effects solely from a bash snippet telling you how to invoke it!

Like yes, it is the principal's (well really everyone's, but sure insofar as someone is ultimately responsible, we can make the principal engineer responsible) responsibility to ensure processes are safe. But you can't do that by magically "refusing to engage in an unsafe process". Because it's difficult to know a priori if a process is inherently unsafe.

Usually you figure this out when something goes wrong, and then you take that learning from a postmortem/incident report and try to apply it to other similar tools. But no, I wouldn't blame anyone, not even a principal engineer whose job it is to ensure safe systems for accidentally fat fingering a dangerous command that they didn't know about.

They perhaps bear some responsibility for not having previously fixed it, but they bear approximately none for misusing a tool that makes itself easy to misuse.
if you cancel without telling me why then i am even more likely to draw the (wrong) conclusion. and if you, and if i wanted to cancel too, then i am still going to wonder why you wanted to cancel. the only way to avoid misinterpretation is to state the reason outright.
Good advice. But a small correction. Step Functions have a limit too. I think it’s 25,000 transitions per execution.
I think it is our responsibility as older generations to show them that the world can be changed, even if it is just on a small scale. Too many people view everything around them (including themselves!) as immutable. What people are trying to do is getting a better spot on the sinking ship. Happyness defined as drowning just a little bit later than your neighbour (but focus, you could slip at any moment). The pumps that could easily keep the ship from sinking are mounted only by a few idealists, which are called names by those with the most fear in their eyes. Some, with their feet already in the water vehemently insist water is not real — their anger directed at those busy pumping the water. Those higher up the ship tell those stories, because they hope it will keep them dry till some divine help arrives. In the end, everybody dies, but those on top die a little bit later.
That's why I got my son a desktop. He's not a big fan yet but it has access to my steam, dual boot to ubuntu, and a webcam so he has no excuse to avoid doing "school work" on it.
While intent should be what matters, that isn't the case for many people. There was a man who was cracking his knuckles and somebody took a picture of him. Apparently his hand was close to the OK sign and he was fired. It is getting to the point where intention does not matter.

Which features are being removed?
It can help to just steer well clear from anywhere distractions can be found. For example, install a blocking extention like Intention to forcibly remove yourself from being able to even browse youtube during focus hours. Or get your music from somewhere not prone to leading you down a rabbit hole of distractions.

Proper music selection can also really help.

At our core, we have two different types of attention: conscious and unconscious. When we have a task at hand, and want to get it done, we give it our conscious attention, and work to focus on just that task while ignoring other external distractions. But while this is happening, our unconscious attention is still at play, and is constantly looking for other things to latch onto - be it a sound in the room, an advert on the side of the page, or a distracting recommendation after an educational YouTube video.

The point at which your conscious attention gets fatigued from trying to ignore these temptations is when that lack of focus occurs. Researchers think that ADHD could be caused by a malfunctioning area of our brain which controls our conscious attention.

Music of the correct variety can help to keep that unconscious attention satisfied and stop it overriding our specific intention to concentrate on that key task. It does this by cutting out a whole area of distraction possibilities and replacing it with something just enough to keep our unconscious attention satisfied.

The reason ive looked into this is because im building a side project around focus music:

Why is that not a valid reason?
Racket has been rated as 'an acceptable python' by a famous programmer. Well deserved, I think.
Same thing here. My grandfather was excited when his dad found some pallets 'that fell off the back of a truck' so they could have a floor for the tent they lived in outside Portland, and not see the rats. (funny when people in PDX complain about the homeless problem, my grandpa was in those cities in the 30's and 40s)

> My question is - should taxpayers be on hook for the millions he is looking for?

One of the reasons people in this situation sue for millions of dollars is because it can take millions of dollars to cover their medical expenses for the rest of their life. Maybe the whole system would work better if the taxpayers covered this medical care upfront rather than this circuitous route of only paying for the medical care after a lawsuit. The current system seems to be working for no one.
Why counterattack, though? MAD is for deterence, so if one side attacks, MAD failed.

Counterattack will likely not help anything other than further escalation and further losses on the counter-attacking side. It would be kinda irrational at that point.

Don't be silly. Education is not difficult to obtain without military service.

>I would recommend considering using NanoBind, the follow up of PyBind11 by the same author (Wensel Jakob), and move as much performance critical code to C or C++

Why would you recommend that? It's all way more effort than just writing Cython, especially in a Jupyter Notebook. And Cython code can be just as fast as C/C++ code unless you're doing something really fancy. It's a bunch of work for no benefit.

>Warp jits and runs your code on CUDA or CPU

If someone's writing Cython it's probably because they found something that couldn't be done efficiently in Numpy because it was sequential, not easily vectorisable. Such code is going to get zero benefit from Cuda or running on the GPU.

In general, all your jitted code is not going to be as fast as code compiled with an ahead-of-time compiler like the C compiler that Cython uses. Moreover if you use a JIT then it makes your code a pain in the ass to embed in a C/C++ application, unlike Cython code.
That’s what I understood from the article
After the last few days I more and more strongly suspect that's because of a few events like r/place where it becomes incentivized to have many accounts per real user.
>I seriously doubt many who are working in a coffee shop are even trying to be "100% productive" or they wouldn't be there in the first place.

I go to the coffee shop specifically to be more productive than I am at home. I don't think about my bills, or mopping, or laundry, or the cats trying to get my attention, or the games I want to play on my more powerful home PC.

You are incorrect to think that people intend to be sub-optimal by being in a public place without 2x 4k monitors and a clacky keyboard.
at some point, the legal system needs to start enforcing personal responsibility. He accepted the risk of riding a bird. Is the consequence terrible? absolutely. Life is filled with risk. Accept them or don't. His lawsuit needs to be thrown out.
Same with the M1 Air. First time I've ever considered an air. I really like the idea of not having a fan:

- No dust can get in because it's sealed.

- Mechanical parts break more often.

- I often block the vents anyway because I'm sitting in bed or something.

However, it's not all green grass. Non-replacable SSD and RAM is horrible, horrible practice. I root for the competition / right-to-repair advocates to force apple into fixing this. I usually perform a major upgrade on desktops & laptops after ~4 years.
You'd be surprised the garbage overhead brings into an app architecture...

These best practices really only make sense in large organizations, i.e. Conways law.

After all, you can't really ask 100 developers to all add code to one file in a couple weeks - they will spend a month or so just resolving conflicts...

100 file repos are designed so that 100 developers can edit them (in theory), and have relatively few conflicts, not because its better code.

As another anecdote, I find whenever I do solo code I can easily spin out thousands of lines of code within a week (includes testing), when doing code on a project with many other devs my rate drops into the range of maybe 200 a week, just because so much time is spent interlinking other code, finding fixing bugs and tests strewn across many files...
I sort of doubt any of this is strictly for one industry (could likely be abstracted to others).

Tech with a future. Does the tech I'm learning have a market? I've wasted too many years working on obscure/dead tech (neoxam, filenet) believing my employer when they said they have opportunities to advance in those areas (then outsourcing or drastically reducing those areas).

Consistent, cohesive goals and work. I don't want to be constantly context switching or chasing some vague goal.

Sort of related to the prior one, I want one boss. I'm tired of the internal postings that split you between two tech leads, two managers, and two teams.

That's basically case 1, right? The compiler knows which type is being used at each call site, so it can generate a separate function for each type in the union and eliminate the type check/dead branches.

I guess the exception would be if you have a non-homogenous array that you try to map over. In that case there's probably no way around boxing the values.
If the guy was driving drunk on a scooter, he absolutely should be on the hook for damages.
The indemnification clause is quite broad. That's the part that could make it unconscionable.
Here in Mexico there is no forced arbitration nor indemnization clauses for the city but the bike/scooter leasers were required to provide _comprehensive_ insurance for all leasers (which would have reach the coverage limit in this case but at least would have paid for initial healthcare) and city liability would have played out similarly (same claims would have been brought) but it would have likely resulted in the city not having to pay out (regardless of lack of enforcement) and way less attorney expenses.
Your understanding of MAD seems fundamentally flawed. MAD works precisely because of the existence of a credible counter-attack strategy, it doesn't matter whether that attack is before or after the missiles strike.

Ah, that makes sense. I feel like the way it was originally worded was a bit confusing.
Hard to feel bad for people in these kind of scenarios. Accidents happen, if you don't take your responsibility (be sober, use a helmet, ride where you're allowed) you have no right to complain about whatever happens next. It's not society's fault if you're a danger to yourself and others, actions have consequences, too bad for his legs, but at least he didn't kill a kid

I hate how people use these ride sharing vehicles (reckless driving, under influence, park wherever the fuck they want), I very rarely use them but when I do I act as if it was my own scooter and I don't feel like I'm under some sort of magic legal immunity shield

> He said he was never stopped or cited, even though police officers had seen him numerous times.

So what, it's still his fault, he's low key trying to blame the police for that (?)

> when his Bird crashed into a sidewalk

_He_ crashed into a sidewalk

> “This guy lives on Medicare. He’s paralyzed.”

Are we supposed to feel bad for him ? He did that to himself and will be getting tax money until he dies

> Peña filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles, alleging it was responsible for the crash.

Yeah sure, everything but his own actions...

> operating a Bird scooter illegally on a city-maintained sidewalk with a BAC [blood-alcohol level] over the legal limit, tested positive for marijuana and in violation of the California Vehicle Code.

...

I shit on these companies as much as the next guy, but come on, this isn't a Bird problem, or a ride sharing problem, it's a dumbass problem
Yeah, basically exactly what I would expect - they're perfectly capable technology-wise, but they're not capable bureaucratically.

Which, if Musk has value, is where it comes in.
I don't think you'd want to compare sweden to all other countries, just ones with similar resources and cultural trust in authority.

Seems like sweden took some pretty extreme measures just not in the direction of preserving life.
True, but I haven't seen profiling results actually applied back to the actual code file, line-by-line.
There's plenty to be up in arms about over forced arbitration and indemnity between well-funded corporations and customers just trying to get home safely after a night out.

Bird in particular likely knows 90% of their customers are violating their terms and conditions in some way. Between lack of enforcement from the government and legal indemnity from their customers, they have no incentive to improve the safety of their service.

Taken to extreme, why even have a legal system when you have to opt out of it to do anything?
This stock photo is giving me claustrophobia.
Prepare to be disappointed. There are probably fewer pages using this now than there were 15–20 years ago, despite the rise of "Dark Mode".

Slight correction, it's not known whether he was drunk at the time or not. He drank the night before. The city and Bird claim he was still drunk, he claims he wasn't. The article states

> As for whether Peña was legally drunk or high at the time of the crash, that is unclear. A judge who ruled against the city when it asked that the lawsuit be tossed wrote in her order that no forensically defensible blood alcohol test had been administered. Avina told me that two toxicologists agreed that while cannabis may have shown up in Peña’s urine, there was no way to tell when it was ingested.
No, that's what Bird is saying. In fact they're expressly saying he was drinking the night before. There was no ABV test done on him, so there's zero proof to their accusation. His blood showed levels of cannabis. However, if you've ever had to pee in cup you also know that cannabis shows up in blood/urine far after you've smoked or consumed.

They're trying to bash his reputation with utterly unprovable claims to make him seem like a degenerate (because, yea... who drinks and smokes weed in LA?). If he wins he can probably come after them for slander now too.

I hope he wins.
Does anyone know what the units are on the "performance improvement over SOTA" chart?
I thought "sticking to your principles" meant that you persisted in your course of action or thought convinced that it was the best one, despite other people's objections.
My guess it’s their deliberate design decision. It could be that most users of the library don’t care about small things.

About the template stuff, I think their main performance advantage over traditional BLAS is not even SIMD, it’s lazy evaluation. Expressions like x=a*b+c never compute the complete a*b matrix or vector. The a*b expression returns a small placeholder object on the stack, of a scary type with couple lines of template arguments in the type name. This way the complete expression runs without making temporary matrices, instead it streams data from all 3 arguments and only writes to memory once. And if the `x` is of the correct size already, it doesn’t call malloc/free.

I really enjoy Typescript, but every time I use it I think to myself, this would be so much better if were built on top of something other than JavaScript. Maybe AssemblyScript or some other TS to WASM target will come along with a better underlying type system and a good standard library. Dare to dream.
I can only imagine that taking longer can represent a greater challenge to re-entering the market. I assume some linear relationship between length of time and difficulty coming back.
I've used laptops occasionally when I had to, but I've never even thought about giving up a desktop computer as my main computer for daily use.
The part of the system that is not working is the part where people feel they can get excessively drunk without sufficient consequences to incentivize them to not get excessively drunk.

Edit: apparently, it is not conclusively proven the person in this incident was drunk.
I use a laptop cause I can't sit right for a desktop. I'm currently resting my laptop on my leg. I have my other leg tucked under that leg. The back of my chair is being used as an arm rest.

It's not that China universally produces garbage. It's that they can get away with producing garbage and even straight up knockoffs. Additionally they already have the equipment there to manufacture this stuff. That leads to most of those terrible items coming from Chinese companies. That's why Chinese, cheap garbage, and false marketing are associated with China. If they don't want that to be the case, someone would need to crack down on the lies and knockoffs.
Wtf? I must be misinterpreting the data, otherwise this article raises VERY disturbing questions, if I have read the summary correctly.

Three data points:

1. Natural infection efficacy: not studied or stated (why? Study flawed from start, assuming vaccines are always better, no matter what?)

2. Natural infection, AND then full vaccine course

3. Only fully vaccinated efficacy.

It appears that the vaccine is better than natural Immunity AND the vaccine.

Which begs the question, how effective is natural infection?

Only by answering this question can it be determined if vaccines are destroying natural Immunity, or if natural Immunity is preventing vaccines from working.

A VERY inconvenient question indeed. No wonder it wasn't asked.
Compared to a system with maintenance windows, yeah, maybe? Banking seems pretty forgiving honestly. Customers accept 3-5 business days latency per transaction. And even if you get it wrong the first time, money is fungible. It seems like it should call for more relaxed practices than systems that need to process non-fungible data in tens of milliseconds 24x7.
