I read the article. It seems to be suggesting that cache invalidation might no longer be a hard thing in computer science because of the insights uncovered by your tracing and observability solution. IOW, now that you can measure and audit the system, you're able to find and fix bugs in the system. Is that the correct take-away?
While any software can be cancelled, I'd say Atom is being cancelled because of investment in VS Code (both currently owned by MS), I don't see any reason to think it's "inevitable" that VSCode will be cancelled, except in the sense that eventually everyone dies and the earth falls into the sun.
If certain groups of students are excluded because of their ethnicity, that is wrong and should be condemned. If certain groups are excluded because they did not have a lifestyle that nurtured their talent and therefore do not meet the requirements to join, their lifestyle needs to be structed differently so that then next time around they do meet the requirements. In the meantime, holding Asian students back is not going to solve the problem of other student having parents who don't recognize the importance of their education.
True. Figuring out what to do is work.

My point is collaboration (aka "figuring out what to do when") is pretty much the essence of our work. It is machines or remote workers that are "actually doing it", as I believe GP means it.
Basically being able to draw what I want to draw, rather than being unable to draw lol
From MediumCo I will say: there is a lot of friction, quite intentionally, when you go off the rails. As a backend engineer, messing with things like VMs and SSL certificates yourself is definitely way off the rails. We want that to be hard. You are supposed to be creating and iterating on services using the standard application frameworks, deployed to the standard shared clusters, communicating through the standard service mesh, etc. where all of that is handled automatically.

Make sure there's not a golden path that you're missing? Or that your reasons for departing from it are really insurmountable?
> I assume the general silent belief would be that your guy with the spectacular failure is some kind of "take the tough cases" dude?

No, the silent belief is that he's the worst surgeon we have.

> they shut down the procedure in the remote hospitals and centralized it in a few (3?) tertiary healthcare centres. Do you recall something like that?

That's become an extremely common strategy for specialized surgery throughout Europe.
I grew up in a pretty wealthy area. The public school was good. The private school had this vibe of prestige but in practice performed a lot worse on things like AP tests

A weird state. I don’t think parents knew how to navigate it or even interpret the state of things. The marketing and formal dress code made it seem like the better choice. Suckers…
Surely people have been wrestling with the 'extensive' iPhone settings for years, and similarly struggling to find things hidden, misnamed or just tucked away in dark corners.

I let my iPhone sleep the display too quickly for ages, before I finally went digging for some option to fix it.

I guess it's clear where Apple are going with macOS, but we don't have to like it.
I think this is a remarkably short deadline and I don't think the infrastructure will be close to being ready by that date. The UK deadline for instance is 2030... I know of two public electric charging points in my city.

I assume they'll be exemptions for tractors, HGVs, etc, but even so for the person who travels hundreds of miles a week across country for their job, do we think they'll be consigned to buying used cars, or that the infra will be in place?

I want to believe, I just don't see it happening.
The bullet point you quoted there sits directly under this heading:

> Make the ultimate developer experience wishlist for the average rich-country developer in 2030
I went to public school for a couple years in those trailers. It didn't make any difference. Went to public schools with and without A/C (in Arizona). Didn't make any difference.
In my county, the all white schools have extremely well-funded PTAs, parents willing to volunteer in the classroom, and students who receive at-home tutoring from an early age. A couple of miles away, Title I schools that serve predominantly underprivileged families do not have the same luxuries. The actual resources available to these schools remains significantly lower. Even in a county that ranks among the best-funded school systems in the country, federal funding does not bridge the gap between the north and south.
>I chose a more expensive house with higher taxes because the schools are better.

The schools are better, but if you look at per pupil spending I'm willing to bet it's not due to spending. Typically the worst schools get the most most money from federal and state sources, far outstripping any differences in property taxes.

Better schools are a function of better parental involvement, everything else is a distant second.
Not only does everything have friction, most of it is by design to keep other less talented people in jobs.

If it's truly unpleasant, then try to be that guy who can "make a few calls" and get stuff pushed through a small bit quicker. Pander to the egos you'll encounter, hop to their beat until you get things done because fighting it will just end up taking longer.
Pick any measure you like.
> In NYC they also flatten all Asians into one group and say the “gifted” programs aren't diverse enough because a high percentage are Asian. As if implying Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, etc. all have the same life experience, cultures, advantages, disadvantages…

TBF that was originally something deployed by asian-american populations so they had enough of a cooperative block to make an impact: individual cultural groups were too small to be represented, but a pan-asian block had sufficient power to achieve representation and make political progress.
I was aware that siri sent voice data to apple by default. Because that's how siri works. But was not aware of the others. Can you link a source?
The punishment for betraying public trust should be severe.
> I assume if I filed a Feedback asking for the old System Preferences design back, Apple would close my request with the reason "works as designed".

I think any person reviewing feedback that is simply I don't like it and I want the old thing would dismiss it. The author makes compelling arguments which I agree with. So, they should open Feedback Assistant and make several tickets for each one of the issues identified. I know I will be doing the same. Hopefully Apple has reasonable people reviewing it.

This is just the first few days of Ventura so there is time for improvements.

My personal opinion is that this change to Settings seems like change for no good reason. I see some reviewers making the connection that it looks more like iPad OS. But I really think that is a stupid reason for this change.

I think Apple should of been more focused on the UX of the existing design. For example, say you launch Microsoft Teams for the first time. It asks you to go to System Preferences and enable Accessibility. You may go to System Preferences and click on the Accessibility icon. However that is the wrong icon. What you are actually looking for is in Security & Privacy, then click on the Privacy tab to then click Accessibility from the list.
>the fact they skipped working on the UX until now allowed Tarn to implement very difficult crazy features Z-level fortress layers and Fluid Dynamics

Not sure how seriously this was meant, but I unironically agree. I learned, while still in college, never to mock up a "working" polished UI lacking all the complex backend, just to show the client how it'll look when it's done. To the non-computerati, the metaphor is a tradesman working on renovations. If you don't make development versions look and feel like crap, the normies won't accept that it's not "almost ready".

Tarn's priorities here drive away most people, and filters for the sort of person who thinks "modern graphics library" means "ncurses".
thanks a lot for your comment, even for the wrist tip alone. by nature I always defaulted to almost entirely using my wrist to draw lol
Yeah I think you nailed it with "licensing something you're going to have to replace anyway." It doesn't make sense to fight/pay for something that may not have any value.
Good teachers prefer to work at schools where students are more responsive. Usually, this happens when parents of students involve in kids' education.
I think this conflates several concerns which are unrelated. In particular, for a project to be under ASF stewardship does not mean it doesn't have large companies backing it. Look at projects like Kafka, Pulsar, Camel, Arrow, Spark, Flink, Pinot, Superset, Druid, etc. pp., they are all thriving and have strong funding.
I find it deeply ironic that the page is http not https!
Can JetBrains IDE open and edit files over SSH? If so, it will work with Codespaces.
in croatia there is a personal identification number as well as the unique birth number of citizen (my transaltion). the latter is what you describe and the former i think is similar to the us ssn. the former should only be known to you. you use it, for example, when you sell your property or apply for credit. i think it is a huge fraud risk, especially in times of airbnb, because at least in croatia this is written on your id and passport and the national health card
I agree that it’s a worldwide problem. My point was simply individual countries slowing down is necessary even if it’s not sufficient to solve the problem.

Where I see real progress globally is more efficient processes release less CO2 so there are economic incentives even if governments do nothing. India isn’t building solar farms to look green, they are building solar farms to save money. That means even more economies of scale and thus more solar farms.

As these trends continue eventually fossil fuels lose economies of scale. That’s by far a more realistic path to success than every single government making wise long term policy decisions. Will that be fast enough is kind of an arbitrary metric, it’s not going to be as fast as possible but it will avert the worst possibilities.
it's not the first time they just put a random seized photo on a domain then do a press release.
take for example joker stash, after seizing one of their proxies they made a press release saying that after years of hard work they took it down. after two hours it came back online on the same domain.
Thomas Sowell has a great book on the subject called Discrimination and Disparities. There are interviews where he goes over the high-level ideas in the book if you don't have time to read it, but the basic punchline is that this: no two populations have ever been equal, and only sometimes is that because of some form of oppression or because of genetic differences. There are a multitude of cultural and environmental differences that cause disparate outcomes, and unless equality of outcome is your goal those differences shouldn't bother you.
Does social determination include culture? That's a greater determinant of outcomes than skin color, as the example of outcomes between African Americans and Nigerian immigrants indicates.
I still think it will be fun in an inconsistent, man made jungle of the web sort of way. And I agree the types of mishaps are really interesting because they almost can't be replicated since they depend on so many environmental factors they almost appear physical.

There's an interview somewhere on Youtube of Bjarne Stroustroup, I think it was one of those Big Think videos. He was asked what he thought about AI and Machine learning, his response being that he's not interested in things that aren't sound.

That really stuck with me, I don't think web scraping is sound, it's guessing retrieval at broken fragments. I admired The Old Reader for including pictures in it's feed, then I saw a CNN post on there about he new M2 Macbook.....with a picture of a kitchen blender as the headline, missing the 5 or so images in the link of M2 Macbooks.
Edit: After looking through the PSJailbreak writeup it seems like they are really similar after all. Both target the descriptors allocated on the heap.
I am definitely not okay with lying. I didn't read the article :) but from your description it didn't sound like lying.

> As to unrest, which causes more, social inequality or people acting out after being fed bad information? Which caused more attacks and deaths in the US over the past 4 years? Which causes more damage to the planet?

I don't know which is worse. I would say people definitely need given proper context, but social inequality is probably the problem I would fix first if I had the choice.
>A lot of people would disagree with those proposals, though.

Disagree that the proposals would work, or disagree that they want execute them?

I agree that there are complex stakeholders for issues like building more homes, but I think that underscores my point.

It is not that this solution to homelessness is unknown or impossible, it is that people generally don't like it and don't want to do it!
Can someone ELI5 how this works as an extension module ? Is it possible to do a similar thing with pypy ?
This look interesting, but a bit of a headache to scale.
I was not in the gifted program but most of my friends and younger siblings were. I agree with this assessment. They had access to after school programs and opportunities that were not offered to the rest of us. Their classes gave a higher GPA for the same results in regular classes despite (in some cases) teaching basically the same thing as regular classes, from the same book. Regular classes were the same workload but less creativity, enthusiasm, and support.

I later found out that test scores didn't entirely determine placement. Many of my peers were put in the gifted program after a parent advocated for them.

So yes, I appreciate these efforts to equalize opportunity. I'd like that the lessons offered in gifted programs can be offered to all students
Lesser pay is not always true.
Alyssa Rosenzweig: Conformant open source support for Mali-G57
Me neither, because I don't live in the part of town ~10 miles away where this is the case.

Why don't I live there, even though the location would be more convenient and has far more nearby parks and businesses, the housing is dirt-cheap, they have better access to public transit than we do, the area's more walkable/bike-able, et c? The schools are bad.

Why are the schools bad? Because people like me (that is, people whose kids have a low-stress life outside of school) won't move there. Digging out of that hole is nearly impossible. It amounts to "gentrify things all to hell" (which just shifts the problem around rather than actually solving it) or "fix huge social and economic problems the US has".

In either case, you can't do much about it by focusing on the schools themselves.
this took me so long to figure out.
I don't really know many details as I've only ever interacted with the school system here as a pupil, but I think the three major differences between here (NL) and the USA are:

Firstly, by not having extreme poverty. You can't solve at school the problems that exist at home. We have adequate housing and benefits systems, and a minimum wage that people can actually live on. In addition, we have local intervention teams (and budgets) that try to fix problems that children encounter in their home situations (such as violence, substance abuse, etc).

Secondly, by banning private schools: all schools are funded directly by the government based on number of pupils. This makes sure that the rich don't withdraw their children from society, and thus makes sure they have a stake in public education.

Thirdly, by investing heavily in teachers' education. Many teachers here have two degrees: one in their teaching subject, and one in pedagogy or psychology.

That said, I've heard many people say that our education system isn't what it used to be either, mainly because of two changes:

- a decade or so ago the government closed all special-needs schools (or at least the majority) and moved those children into the general school population. This put a lot of strain on the teachers, because they now had to deal not just with slow learners, but also children with learning disabilities and often behavioural problems. This put a lot of stress especially on the lower end of the spectrum.

- the recent appearance of many after-school tutoring programs. Since these are privately funded and operated, they bring a touch of the US' problems: since the rich now have a way to focus their money on only their own offspring, inequality in school achievements is rising.
Sorry, the two comments in my one post were not related. You are right, I was referring to most suburb public schools.
That’s an appalling tragedy, but nobody here is saying deaths from medical mistakes don’t happen.
Very helpful and encouraging point, thanks for sharing that. My interest is just improving, even if it's little by little, so I'm not too daunted by the process taking a long time if I go at it slowly. Definitely gonna give it a try
There is a fundamental difference between the kind of extensions that Atom has and the type Code has. It's something that people often miss when they compare the two.

Atom was made to be infinitely customizable by using web technology. You can dynamically change everything you want with custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Nothing is off limits. Want to shrink the size of the tabs? Just throw in some CSS, everything is changeable.

Code on the other hand runs plug-ins in a separate isolated thread where they are left to communicate with the editor through an extension API. Every customization "hook" that a plugin has access to needs to be explicitly added in that extension API. The things that the devs didn't think (or want) to add are simply impossible. Want to shrink the size of the tabs? Tough luck (except for unsupported hacks).

Code is awesome, but I think Atom should get more credit for what it tried to do. It is arguably the most customizable text editor ever.
"Chemistry is not the issue, life is"
I don't think a tree would, I don't think it acts on and reacts to its environment in the way we're looking for. A squirrel probably would, though, and honestly I think that's ok, since we still have no idea how to make something that navigates its world (and steals birdseed) with the efficiency of a squirrel.
I think existing systems like Helios have already solved this problem?
Zbrush and Houdini are still in their own category, untouchable though. Blender is getting close to the sheer pleasure that is sculpting in Zbrush, but there's still quite a ways to go. And Houdini's particle work is unequaled.
Amazing what you only learn by doing. I read so much on this and heard so many stories, but going through it really taught me so much on what to look for, what to think about, and how to structure these things.
Normally, it shouldn't be. But, my family ran into issues such as:

1. The office was physically closed for business during COVID.

2. They needed to get documentation which was physically in another country.

3. They could not travel to that country due to travel restrictions.
> How does that help anyone?

It doesn't, in ways which are eerily reminiscent of America's falling out of love with public parks and pools. Which completely coincidentally followed their desegregation.
Stuffing ballot boxes to win a judgeship in Chicago is a rookie move. Everyone knows that the legal way to get more votes is to change your name so it sounds like an Irish woman.

> three ballot cues have attained legendary status in Cook County: gender, Irish ethnicity, and first ballot position. Female candidates are believed to hold a significant advantage over male candidates, a belief borne out by election results over much of the past twenty years. The advantage of an Irish-sounding name in Cook County has long been accepted as gospel truth, so much so that several past judicial candidates with non-Irish names have legally changed their names to suggest Irish ancestry. [1]

It's so common that they passed a law to make it so that you really have to plan ahead:

> if a candidate has changed his or her name during the 3 years before the deadline for filing nominating petitions ... the ballot must include a reference to his or her former name or names and the date or dates of the name changes [2]

Not a joke:

> There are only two kinds of people, the saying goes, the Irish and those who wish they were. Shannon P. O’Malley, who is running to be a judge in suburban Chicago, seems to fit into the second category. For, despite the name, O’Malley doesn't appear to be all that Irish. O’Malley is a 55-year-old Chicago guy formerly named Phillip Spiwak who insists he is not trying to pull the wool over voters’ eyes. [3]

Totally agree with you. I think they should get into simple banking too. Even just a no fee simple savings account with debit cards would do wonders for the unbanked.
Thanks for sharing this perspective.

I was wondering why it seems to be such a big topic for the US. Where I’m from, gifted classes are for 1% of the kids and about socializing and keeping them engaged - their life outcomes are not statistically likely to be better than the “normal” children either way.

On the flip side, I have yet to see a really well-functioning PTA. Usually because it's a bunch of hyper competitive MBAs, CEOs, and lawyers who adore parliamentarian ceremony and only secondarily have any interest in marshaling resources in support of students.

I think it might actually work better if it were just properly educated average people running that show.
Does Apple do the same for Unreal? Could this be a subtle way of Apple saying they support Unity over Epic?
Minification helps the parser too, try running VS Code from sources and you’ll notice startup is significantly slower.
I'd go so far as to say that "Internet will always be available" is the new generation of "Works on my dev machine, thus it should work everywhere", which was a (common?) assumption over the last few decades.
Like the other two comments mention this was all reverse engineered by hand using ghidra.

[...] school systems are making the decision to contract or eliminate their gifted education and advanced academic offerings.
On the surface, this seems logical. If I’m leading a system in which the population of eighth graders taking Algebra I has a disproportionate number of white and Asian students, then eliminating Algebra I as an offering for eighth graders looks like an obvious pathway to equity.

This doesn't seem logical at all. It sounds like sweeping under the rug.
I'm assuming that what is obvious here is that these programs reproduce inequity, and are not a cause of it.

[...] As these scholars argue shutting down gifted programs only deepens the inequities for brilliant, underrepresented students of color and adds another barrier to unlocking their genius.

Does one really need scholars for this?
Playwright for Python has really good documentation: https://playwright.dev/python/
