As he goes on the main criticism becomes that it is too complex to ever succeed at being more than it is. The evidence of this is besides his own experience the projects that failed when integrating with activitypub for federation.

Personally I tried to dig into the protocol a few years back and found at least at the time that the documentation was indeed very bad and my only option was basically to read the mastodon repositories. So I think there is something to it but I definitely agree that the insults are detrimental to the point.

I would probably come across as matching that description. So perhaps I can speak for that position a bit.

In this case I would not think re-assigning df as being in violation those principles. Might even be useful if it plays better with how the code interacts with debuggers and version control.

Its not really re-used in the sense that would motivate making up new names for the intermediate steps. It’s clearly just used as a syntactic aid for the
operation chaining. So in my mind both expressions are equivalent from that perspective.

I would probably insist on limiting its scope to precisely that expression though, to maintain that obviousness.

A lot of the benefits of neuro-diversity are seen at the population level. The bearers of these traits are “taking one for the team” so to speak because they are preserving a genetic trait potentially useful for the future but may be painful in the present. There’s going to be a wide range of suffering though, from manageable ADHD to crippling depression. Society should simply support these people and mitigate near term suffering as much as possible, but calling these things a disorder isn’t wholly inaccurate because they can be reasonably described as problematic for current day life, even if potentially advantageous in future scenarios.
Because many (not all) devs use frameworks to cover for their own weaknesses in software design. There’s something deeply comforting in the faith that a few Very Smart Framework Authors have laid a gold-plated path of success for them to follow.

What they overlook is the time and energy wasted in the framework cottage industry: making dependencies talk to one another, aligning version numbers, major version upgrades being forced on them (or risk being insecure) and the time spent searching Google, SO, and GitHub issues for support.

I think the underlying tension here comes from the fact that people are currently prescribed drugs for ADHD on the basis that it is a disorder that needs to be treated, and a lot of those people would like to still have access to that medication while also being less stigmatized. The analogy to homosexuality is problematic because in that same analogy Adderall is equivalent to conversion therapy.

As far as I know, in the US both Seattle and Austin became terribly expensive to the point FANG salaries don't allow for a comfortable, well-off life style with a lot of disposable income to spare.

Austin alone is renowned for requiring a >$100k salary to live comfortably, when FANGs with a presence there barely pay $120k.

Personally, I know a couple of ex-Amazon developers from Madrid who outright quit because Amazon's salary (around €40k for SDE1) wasn't enough to afford a two-bedroom apartment in the city center.

sadly no. CoquiTTS integration was in the making, where you have some voice cloning features, but I had to delay it, as it required some newer versions(python 3.9) and I think it was 64bit only.

I agree. I’m really happy to be in the M1 era. Healthy companies have a good balance between engineering, design, and marketing. The M1 is the direct result of some really talented engineers not the design team.
Sheesh. If Impossible Foods really believes in their mission to replace beef then they need to realize that mission is too big one single company. They should be about creating a market category. What they're doing is stifling.
That pretty much fits into the "data" for most companies, and especially high-growth ones are actually made by people well into their 40s if not 50s.

I recall reading this paper[0] which really bursted some of the myths/legends regarding age and entrepreneurship. The take is that a high-growth company happens more rarely to very young individuals compared to older ones. And this makes sense: to run a company you need to fail in order to gain the experience and insight into what means success. This is not to say "give up", but that one should expect ups and downs alongside the road (which let's be honest many of us 'youngsters' [<35] don't do this).

My complaint is that it is too easy to create an object with uninitialized members by accident. On account of the syntax being identical. I guess its too late to add affordances there.

I suppose a definition of valid that prohibited uninitialized members would preclude lots of useful stuff like container and buffer types.

From the msan documentation [1], the flaw with my earlier example is that `printf` isn't instrumented.

And to address your other question, I don't know if msan can instrument a function implemented in assembly. It definitely can't deal with something it didn't compile as the instrumentation is added during compilation.

It seems that on godbolt the platform library also isn't instrumented because the equivalent iostream code is msan clean [2]. I suppose that makes sense as it's allowing you to pass arbitrary options to the compiler.

In summary, msan can detect these uninitialized reads but it requires quite a lot of fiddling.

So, what do you think of terraform?

It's puzzling to me that we, as software developers, spend so much efforts trying to automate such one off deletion tasks, and the automation would inevitably go wrong and result in data loss.
You can still control for this, by having the participants taste both drinks, in a blinded manner.

If they can still somehow taste the difference between them, then you change your mix so that they can't tell the difference or eliminate them from the study.

This may have other effects on the study, but at least you can be reasonably sure that no one can tell the difference between the substances being tested, except possibly by the effects they feel after consuming the substances in question.

It's not a matter of being free and able to travel, wages are a matter of supply and demand: too few workers? => skyrocketing wages. Too much workers? => very poor wages.

Now look at population density of, let's say India. How many Indians have enough knowledge to apply for some positions respect of let's say the ratio of French? You easy see that potential number of workers climb exponentially, so wages go to the bottom.

You might say "hey, but also the offer became far bigger", true, but now look at the entire world: in the west/JP/SK we have the highest wages and cost of living in the planet. We have had in the past a certain "mean culture" thanks to developed schools systems witch WAS around the highest of the planet, we have dominated tech sectors. In the past. Now mean culture is plummeted, thanks to those who have pushed the Ford model to the extreme because people without culture, especially without a generic culture, are easy to govern. Tech is still a bit higher than the rest of the world but not so much anymore and so on MEANWHILE cost of living do not lower and will not in a more globalized world.

As a result pay-the-same means for some countries pay much, for some others pay too little. As a result we would see another mass disruption from a war between about-to-be-poorer vs about-to-be-less-poor that, summed to all other ongoing crisis will just push more people toward wars and extremism. As I said anything can and should change, but at a certain slow peace, to avoid too much collateral damages during the change. That's valid if you are thirsty almost dead of thirst and you drink too much once new water arrive to die of water indigestion and equally valid if you consuming too much water daily and suddenly stop: your kidneys will be the source of huge health problems. You might say "hey, but some will got rich quickly". Yes. Very few multi-national giants surely would be more rich in a quick time. Workers who get rich quickly from poverty in most of the cases will be equally or even more poor in a nick of a time because getting rich quickly means being unable to handle richness and so squander quickly as we regularly see with young generations too quickly substituting rich parents, that even if being born wealthy they have studied well and have had good examples and practice at home, in theory.

Always consider a thing: from chaos there are very few who can really profit, like the same ration of lottery winners, from the "poor" classes, while the topmost rich being outside the chaos observing normally profit very well. See the French Revolution: the real winners were the bankers who have substituted an impoverished nobleness, not much differently than so many other revolutions. Simply because those who see the big picture being a bit outside and resourceful can maneuver, those in the fray can only elbow hoping to save their life in skin.
> there's a numbers game that can be played with this

The human bias is to pessimism. Sure. The world sucks. It always has and always will. Ukraine is going through hell. I saw a program about miners in Congo whose job is to go down into deep holes, not much wider than their shoulders, that not infrequently cave in and bury them alive. It's good money though, at $5 a day, so, there's that. If the Guardian is to be believed, there are 40 million slaves alive today, more than the entire 250 year history of the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Or, maybe, to remain rational, this bias needs an explicit counter. No matter how good things get, we humans will always be prepared to get really depressed about what's not working. There's a war. There are several wars actually. But fewer people by every measure are dying in them. Cold comfort to the guy whose entire family, including his 3 month old baby daughter, died yesterday in Russian missile strike, but, hey, fewer babies dying in war, I can't see that's not something to celebrate.

I fall asleep easier with an eye mask on (and sometimes can't without it), but also feel like I dream more without it, and no dream sleep isn't as mentally refreshing.

I would have liked to see what Ive could do with the M1 and its thermals.

I think that your comment is insightful in that while Ive's time at the top of Apple product development was far from perfect, his success was undeniable.

Jony might not always have been right but he was always wrong for the right reasons. Principled in his vision for design and human interface. I think his worst successes (lol) were those he had over software UI and removing information from the UI in the name of aesthetics or the Touch Bar in the name of changing how we see keyboards.

His understanding of how to make a computer something you wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with but also something that you can take with you everywhere (thin and light are good when the tech can match) have certainly made his devices more a part of our lives.

Jobs could match him on this stuff but I would imagine that it would go over a lot of business and engineer types' heads. Takes all sorts.
Ive is a brilliant designer, but Steve seemed to be able to reign in his worst instincts. From everything I have heard about Ive, he reminds me of a few designers I have worked with who were wonderful designers, but struggle to understand the importance of practical constraints such as engineering, cost, user feedback, etc.

The Apple Watch is a great example. It is a wonderful device, but the whole launch seemed confused. Remember the 24k Gold watch? That was the least Steve thing Apple has ever done. Steve believed in well designed and built products, but was almost allergic to excess.

It's probably the onset of modernism - they decided everything in life had to be lived according to logical rules they made up in their heads, rather than just doing whatever folk knowledge your parents passed on that had no rationale. The advantage is this often does work, but the disadvantage is you end up with Victorian parenting, doctors who wouldn't wash their hands because you can't explain why they should, having to eat corn flakes, world wars, etc.
This is similar to my experience but without a bootcamp. My biggest problem when mentoring people that want to and are capable of learning to code is pointing them towards any avenue of someone who might hire them to code. It seems like the few companies that do "junior" positions only target new grads, and many companies don't even bother with junior devs. As a result, finding the first job can be a larger barrier than being able to code useful things.

Wondering if anyone has any insight as to where I might be able to help people look for a first coding job, especially without a connection to a bootcamp.
No kidding. I bought a reasonably high end Thinkpad for myself and the entry level M1 MacBook Air for my son to do his schoolwork on. The performance, battery life and screen are much better on the M1 despite being significantly less expensive.
I’m personally quite excited for what intel has planned and I work on M1 chips (opinions are my own). I think there’s a decent chance they’ll have a comeback in the next few years. Yes, AMD is doing awesome and ARM is bigger than ever. We’re definitely headed into a very interesting time for processors as consumers.

Alfvén was pretty much the father of the electric universe theory.

From Wikipedia:

In 1937, Alfvén argued that if plasma pervaded the universe, it could then carry electric currents capable of generating a galactic magnetic field.[6] After winning the Nobel Prize for his works in magnetohydrodynamics, he emphasized that:

In order to understand the phenomena in a certain plasma region, it is necessary to map not only the magnetic but also the electric field and the electric currents. Space is filled with a network of currents which transfer energy and momentum over large or very large distances. The currents often pinch to filamentary or surface currents. The latter are likely to give space, as also interstellar and intergalactic space, a cellular structure.[7]

His theoretical work on field-aligned electric currents in the aurora (based on earlier work by Kristian Birkeland) was confirmed in 1967,[8] these currents now being known as Birkeland currents.[citation needed]

Alfvén's work was disputed for many years by the senior scientist in space physics, the British mathematician and geophysicist Sydney Chapman.[9] Alfvén was regarded as a person with unorthodox opinions in the field by many physicists,[10] R. H. Stuewer noting that "... he remained an embittered outsider, winning little respect from other scientists even after he received the Nobel Prize..."[11] and was often forced to publish his papers in obscure journals. Alfvén recalled:

When I describe [plasma phenomena] according to this formalism most referees do not understand what I say and turn down my papers. With the referee system which rules US science today, this means that my papers are rarely accepted by the leading US journals

-----
Plasma does indeed pervade the universe. Electromagnetic forces are 10^^30 times more powerful than gravity and decrease linearly with distance, not with the square. They play a much bigger role in cosmology than gravity. eUniverse theory explains many things, like the rotation of galaxies with no need to invent dark matter. Also, star formation through the pinch effect mentioned above.
Probably not lol. And even more wouldn't want too. But many can with the right encouragement and guidance.

> When I started learning Rust after ~25 years of C++, I was quite productive after a couple of months.

Stating that it takes 25 years of experience in order to become productive with Rust doesn't really sound like a positive note.

Keep in mind that your typical user of high-level programming languages already has a very hard time grasping the basic mechanics of C++, and Rust's memory management paradigm alone is renowned for having quite a steep learning curve when compared to C++.
Wow, really nice article that gives practical examples of what ADD/HD looks like. I am not officially diagnosed, but I am 99% sure ADD/HD is something I have coped with my entire life. This has come up only recently with the pandemic forcing my schedule to change, and I started to realize how much the "9-5 routine" was keeping my train on its tracks and hiding any semblance of an attention disorder.

It's really interesting how attention disorders show and hide themselves. Like the author, I had a consistently inconsistent way of losing or forgetting things. I don't tend to be late or forget appointments, but I have a hard time scheduling them in the first place. I have rejection sensitivity dysphoria, which explains why relationships, family included, have ended poorly and needed a long time from which to recover. I did not complete college and had no idea what I was doing the entire time despite breezing through high school. I have many abandoned and unfinished projects around the house. I have been fortunate to receive accommodations at work such as choosing slightly different hours as needed, but now I understand why that was something I needed.

It hits you like a ton of bricks when you realize "I've had ADHD my whole life" because it explains every negative experience you've ever had. Having authoritarian type parents was the cherry on top.

> (W)hen the world has been willing to let me what I can do in the way that I can do it, the results have been pretty good. When the world has insisted that I do things the way everyone else does them, it hasn't always gone so well.

This is such a succinct description of the main issue with attention disorders. I think the author makes a very good argument that it's the stigma, not the disorder, that is causing more problems than anything. I know stigma against disorders like this is why it never came up.

I intend to obtain an official diagnosis and potentially try medications. The thing is, it's incredibly overwhelming to choose because half of you knows you're doing pretty well right now, why change? The other part is wondering what your true potential looks like, and fighting against how much work and experimentation you think that will take.
