> I agree the JSON use is probably more compelling than their ZNG thing.

considering how much data I can already get via json (or converted to json via other json related standards such as geojson), there doesn't seem to be much of a compelling case to use ZNG.

I'd love to hear different though!
The nice thing about this post is that it seemed to stay away from the standard “Macs suck because they don’t do this…” start a flame war vibe that a lot of these types of commentary’s delve into. The author specifically said:

> This is how I like to use my computer. And it is clear that the MacBook isn't my computer - it is Apple's.

For me its the old adage - I can hammer a nail into a piece of wood with a screwdriver, but a hammer might do the job a lot better. If your company is providing you a screwdriver to use as a hammer, thats a problem.

I kind of wish tech would operate more like the trades—where the tradespeople provide/manage their own toolbox and tools. BYOD has its benefits. Its unfortunately that a lot of companies tend to disallow it.
I've had work machines running stock Ubuntu, getting Canonical recommended updates totally fail to boot. Cue a day or so of trying to read instructions on my phone on how to roll-back the kernel, or simply reinstall Ubuntu over the existing installation so I could just get back to work.

It's the reason I didn't move to Linux at home when Mac laptops were getting so awful a few years ago.
I work for the money.

If the pay and the working conditions are good, I am happy.

I am intrinsically interested in solving puzzles and doing a good job. Doing it the best I can is already my default, if you try to add external stuff, you will only ruin it. Want me to pretend I actually care about the product or "mission"? Sweety, that will cost extra!

The "who" can be nice but as long as people are not toxic I don't care that much. I have friends outside work.

I have a humanities type degree and graduate degree, and I found you don't get the real interesting people and conversations until grad school. Then it's awesome. Is my degree "useful"....eh, maybe. But was my time in grad school enormously influential on me and how I view the world, and can I see the difference it has made on me when I have conversations with people who didn't take the same route? Yes.

> I will say that in the STEM degrees people were far more curious than in the humanities.

In my experience, this was not really the case. A lot of STEM people I met were very interested in some topics, but were either a) only superficially interested in things like ethics; b) only interested in a very specific view of ethics (some form of ultra techno-utilitarianism/utopianism for instance); or, c) immediately dismissive of whole conversations or areas of research without actually bothering to engage in any of the discussions. The more galling thing is they often thought that they could simply comment on those topics without any of the research. So just as there are journalists calling for people to learn ethics without learning to code, there are people who work on code who comment on art, or history, or philosophy, with little to no understanding of the long debates and research in those fields. It really goes both ways.

TBH, I don't think it's really about the whole STEM v. Humanities thing that people make it all about. It's really about the cost of higher education across the board.
Well I think it’s mostly because Linux users tend to not realize it’s an entirely different paradigm. Someone once put it roughly to me as Linux and windows being window focused, macos bring application focused
I agree that the fees charged to the merchants, and the policies they enforce on merchants are a bad thing. Though there continues to be competition who bring innovations. In the US I know Square is not the only option for point of sale transactions, just the quickest example that comes to my mind. MercadoPago POS in Latin America. Then all the many options for internet transactions which started with PayPal over 20 years ago.

Neat! Seems to be looking like a more basic and unified translation management system, but it's unclear whether it actually supports multiple locales as a top-level feature, or just through "hey here's your different JSON files".

I'm dubious of this claim to be honest. Identifying JSXText is one thing, but does it handle when you have UI text in props? How does is distinguish labelColor="red" from label="Username", if at all?

In fact, I think Twitter announced new measures of linking bots to bot operators back in Feb, so I have no idea why this bothers Elon so much (unless being identified as the owner of the entire Tesla bot horde is exactly what he is worrying about).

Well, the big issue is that completely unmoderated free speech in an environment like Twitter only stays free for the loudest, biggest two (or so) groups. The others are just shouted down and may as well go home.

> the sort of place that people feel unafraid to discuss controversial subjects?

> If the choice is between some outgroups feeling uncomfortable with civilly-expressed criticism of themselves

So this is the key tension. Outgroups get criticism of themselves every-bloody-where. As you noted, "We're discriminatory, hierarchical, social animals". One more place doesn't make the difference. What good moderation does is provide an opening for an outgroup to issue its own civilly-expressed criticism, with a chance of being listened to instead of reflexively ridiculed and dismissed.
And if it's maintained, that's also a plus, since I didn't realize jq was unmaintained, I thought it just didn't have any bugs to fix

As mentioned by sibling poster, it really is not a setback, they just have different release schedules.

Graal is doing pretty well, it is heavily used by Twitter for example. And the polyglot part is simply completely novel and very exciting - it can basically optimize across language boundaries with it. A python call to a C function might get inlined and be much faster than native FFI. Enterprise edition also has managed mode for LLVM bitcode, making for example existing C code use managed heap for allocations. TruffleRuby, Graal’s ruby implementation is the fastest ruby runtime by a huge margin and the JS runtime developed by comparatively few people (compared to V8 and the like) can achieve similar performance to it.
Just wanted to put it out there that there are multiple levels of nurses and each requires different levels of education, like a licensed practical nurse (LPN) needs a certificate and is the lowest paid, registered nurses (RN) is either an associates degree or bachelors degree these people are usually what people think a nurse is, and a nurse practitioner (NP) bachelors degree + graduate school.
Have you heard of Amber Heard
Moto g7 plus on straight talk (using att sim I think)
he tried to 'cancel' him by calling him a pedophile.

There are varying definitions of 'censorship' floated in this thread. A lot of people in this thread who are defenders of Musk are willing to apply the label censorship to 'canceling people'...or at least when certain people get push back. If we take their definition at the word, if we take it as honest, then it is reasonable to apply to his own actions.

vis a vis, by the definition of censorship floated in support of Musks purchase, he censored Vernon.

Do I buy that definition? no...but...I don't think 'cancelling' is censorship, I think its just another form of free speech thats given a hostile label to bound free speech in a hierarchical way.

Otherwise, and its worth noting this actually highlights the subtext of the overall conversation, there are two definitions of censorship being applied by some people - a broader one to speech they like, and a narrower one to speech they don't.
There's a reason: legitimate performance differences that exist between them.

I haven't touched this in a long-while, but I believe startup will be impacted but post startup the impact should be smaller once the binary has been loaded. It depends on how your executable is used of course, but a hello world application will show the worst performance degredation since the code is loaded then executed once.
"I'm the kind of weird pacifistic person who literally sat down at school and took the beating from the bullies"

And sometimes, a lot of times, that's really the best option. People are under the impression, coded in our mythology and promoted by Hollywood, that if you defeat the bully your problem is over when in reality it often just escalates. You didn't fail because you weren't willing to defend yourself, the system which allowed such behavior to reach that point failed you.
I use `git blame` heavily and find that I can rapidly
understand the intent behind some code by doing so,
assuming the commit messages are well-crafted

Me too. Once editors started displaying inline git blame information, it was pretty transformational.

But, this bogs down pretty quickly for me. Great for a single line of code, but if I'm trying to understand something that spans multiple methods or multiple files that's a lot of spelunking around the commit messages, which are a mix of whys and whats.

At their best, code comments are a really focused distillation of the current whys and should never ever contain whats.

I think what GP may have meant is that wage inflation has different factors than overall inflation.

Wages aren’t based on cost directly, but supply and demand. So it’s possible that inflation is up 10% because food, rent, etc but there’s still tons of people willing to do a job so wages did not match inflation.

So it’s important to look at how wages are doing rather than just straight lining from inflation.

I think based on the current economy and super low unemployment that wages have increased as well. Perhaps more than inflation.

I like the Christmas Music thing. People's expectations are massively lowered.

With respect to putting things out there, a very common question on Quora is "how do I protect myself from getting ripped off?"

It claims to:

> Use your built-in IR emitters and camera in combination with facial recognition to prove who you are.

I wonder if the "could be enough to do it" is kind of pessimistic. That is, it is open source software -- you can install it on whatever computer you want, including one without an advanced IR camera. Or, the user could have some obscure IR camera, which might not be detected properly/might not have Linux drivers. It seems hard to make guarantees for arbitrary hardware.

Both Bungie and 343 have done an admirable job (well, compared to other devs) about explaining their network infrastructure etc. Back in the day they did a big talk about how their matchmaking in Halo2/3 worked that I think to this day is still one of the best methods of learning when you're not in the industry yet. I can't recall what it was called though: might be the "Chris Butcher - Recreating the LAN Party Online: The Networking and Social Infrastructure of Halo 2" GS talk but I can't listen right now to check
Thanks, added to the reading list. The 1980s typesetting is fun to see.

Skimming quickly through, the Wheelerian text around eq (53) is fascinating, although I think I prefer an ADM-ish IV approach to thinking about the spacetime "suffering" from objects with these worldtubes, and thinking about the presence of a researcher reading a book by candlelight, all of which has worldlines similar to what is discussed in that part of Recami's paper.

In that approach, a "Eulerian" snapshot observer notes two "copies" of the researcher on some slice, each with different candle-sizes and page numbers, while a more patient Eulerian observer may note one copy is reading backwards near a growing candle. However, Recami's consideration of a "Lagrangian" observer is certainly provocative if one starts to wonder what happens to his "traveller" across cosmological distances -- in that regime, one encounters arrow-of-time/statmech problems that sharpen in nonvacuum. (I will however need some time to absorb the points about apparent vacuum decay in Recami §7.7, among other goodies in the paper).

Finally, yes, it was behind a paywall, but <https://sci-hub.se/https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007...> of course -- it's even easier to read that way, even if one has springerlink access. :-)
How We Built More Than 100 SaaS Integrations for Our Product
I guess I'm not really sure what your point is but it seems like you're saying being nice and delivering are not compatible.

You can have high standards and expectations and still be nice. In reality no one is going to be operating at 100% all of the time. They will have good days and bad days. I assume that others are doing their best. If their best is not enough for the role they were hired for than I made a bad hire. If I cant find a way to communicate expectations and standards without remaining nice than I'm the one taking the easy way out.

It's easy to be an ass and use emotion to make strong employees feel like they need to do better or deliver more. But at the end of the day your employees will leave once they have had enough.

I've left jobs I was highly effective at because my manager was constantly pushing for more and more. I would have stayed much longer if they would have had the EQ to recognize that I was operating at a high level and praise and kindness would be more effective in the long run. Who cares if someone delivers more of X when they leave in 6-12 months? Every gain will be canceled out by the amount of time you will spend finding their replacement and training them.

So to end my ramblings... If your point is that kindness can be abused... Sure. I agree. But is choosing to be kind and understanding, even if you feel like you are being abused at times, going to lead to you having significantly greater employee retention? Will choosing to act some other way cause your employees to leave which will drop their production from whatever % to 0% for an extended period of time?
It would be really interesting to see a breakdown of military spending per employee.

For the US, 2.2M employees equates to ~1.38% of the employed population [1].

For the UK, the military isn't the largest employer, the NHS is, which isn't surprising. The British Armed Forces employ 148K [2] people which is ~0.46% of the employed population [2].

Would be interesting to see the worldwide trends.

Be bold!

Any paper, any field, if you can get your hands on it, Take a half an hour and read the words. Look at the pictures, Look at the graphs. Take a break. Go for a walk, maybe get some coffee, and decide if you want to continue. This will give you a very rough survey of the terrain. Often, I'll quit right here if there's nothing for me to latch on to.

Take a couple of hours, take notes about the things you don't understand - maybe take a minute here or there to look up concepts, maybe take a minute there to graph equations.

Get a good night's sleep. Look at your notes and think about all the stuff you don't understand. There are plenty of things I don't get _at all_. There are also things I can latch onto. Put some serious effort into linking the equations with the words. Decide if you want to spend days or weeks really digging in and _understanding_.

I find each step rewarding. I often quit early, and move on to the next shiny new thing. There's some real value in each step. I learn about things I never new existed. I certainly can't explain them, but sometimes things pop up again and again and I do get the motivation to take a deeper dive - not necessarily mastery, but at least an understanding of my depth of ignorance. Maybe watch a lecture on that topic for perspective.

You never know what's going to be useful. Nurture that spark of interest. You might get nothing out of it today, but 10 years from now, you'll see some other problem and vaguely recall this is kinda like that other thing I never really got. There's definitely some opportunity cost. But if you're just farting around on reddit, an hour here and there can be really enjoyable, and possibly someday useful.
