What gives you the impression they think that? There is quite a lot going on before your google meets displays a popup of what you want to share and the display manager initiating screen sharing.

For what it worth, Wayland has really good externel screen support (mixed-DPI even), so it is likely just a not-yet-supported feature, nothing inherently problematic.

Hey Michael and Justin, congrats to the launch!

My co-founder and I were building the same product as you are some time ago [1]. We managed to scale it to around 5k WAU before we decided to pivot for various reasons.

If you think there might be any useful information and experience we could share with you, please shoot me an email - vasek@usedevbook.com. I'd love to help in any way I can to help you guys succeed.

Gave me smile because I have a little anecdote that happened recently.
My friend showed up for a B-day party, and after some time invited me and few other friends to have a look at his new car. I was thinking he must have gotten a raise at work, because the car was brand new Volvo V40, which is above average expensive in my country and also our income bracket.

Then it turned out he bought a new collar for his dog, and that the producer of the collar organized a prize lottery, where you could win a really nice backpack, and a car. And that my friend won the main prize, which was the brand new Volvo.

Now I know someone who won something really valuable, and also that these prize lotteries can sometime work.
> factoring their shit correctly

When is shit ever factored "correctly"? Next week, your product owner will come over with a new idea for a feature spanning multiple modules and suddenly you will realize you should have factored your shit differently and maybe not split things up into multiple microservices prematurely.

So what I'm trying to say is: Grug is right. Factoring a piece of software correctly is one of the hardest issues. The assumption that you can do it correctly is the reason why so many microservice architectures are such a PITA to work with.
let me get this straight, if CSAM is a problem in encrypted chats today or in future, how many convictions have happened in the last 10 years when there wasnt much encrypted chats in the first place?

CSAM is being thrown around as a scapegoat in order to not allow anti-establishment discourse or dissent.

edit: wasnt that guy in USA or somewhere arrested and held in comtempt of court when he said he forgot the password of his drive? why arent you doing that on a case to case basis as opposed to mass surveilance?
>I am of course biased here, but in all honesty, every single professional I know, whom I can count as an Emacs power-user or even a master; Every single one of them is truly an incredible hacker.

Good point. With the data as sparse and dirty as it is, it's hard to get a reliable analysis for specific procedures. Or at least one I consider publishable. That, plus, I don't have a good understanding of how medical billing works on the inside.

Some of that will hopefully change in the coming months as new data comes in (will write more about that in another blog.)

If you want to look at how prices for different procedures can vary between hospitals, you can get a rough idea from a previous blog post I wrote:

> It bears questioning how, in ”the richest country on Earth”, something as important as a hospital ends up held together with spit and twine.

In less rich countries they use paper records, which are worse. Everything is held together with spit and twine.

Some people here are a bit older than a typical %MODERN_FRONTEND_TECHNOLOGY% developer and thus they remember very well what Microsoft did to Linux and open source community a decade ago and back.
also: when wealthy you become a customer instead of a patient.

So they will do all kinds of useless tests and treatments because that is what they earn money on.

You will never really know if this treatment is good for you or good for the hospital.
The build process is faster. There are a number of algorithms running (on several threads) while building. That is where optimisation kicks in.

That is basically disallowing chats for anyone aside the largest tech companies that actually can filter on a large scale. Although I believe it would only be applicable to them anyway.

End-to-end encrypted messages cannot be scanned. They simply are not end-to-end encrypted otherwise. You can do it client side but that is easily mitigated by perpetrators.

To be honest, there are much better methods to fight child abuse. And disallowing people using end-to-end encryption and forcing big tech to scan all messages is an extremely high cost. Not that they do that anyway in most cases because legislation is falling behind...
Most probably that will force most of the people to stick to using more TikTok (or whatever video platform will be popular at a future time) and less feature movies. Which I find a real shame, because I personally love movies, but imo that's the direction things are going.
Music with words doesn't destroy my concentration like that, but instrumental music is a lot better to help me focus. Calm instrumental music, specifically. Techno would drive me nuts, but Ambient and adjacent genres tend to work very well.

Awesome website, two questions:
1. How did they make the letter animations?
2. Is there a terminal app (e.g. sh app) available?
No, I don't. Because engineering mindset isn't something you can quantify, and I don't care if a senior position isn't able to rattle off all of the 2xx HTTP status codes from memory.

Not sure whether you are aware, but car manufacturers were one of the earliest adapters of Wayland for embedded use cases.
I searched for "Position based dynamics" and I was pleasantly surprised by the results. The output if full of blog posts that I never encountered while searching on Google. It might be related to the fact that it rely on Bing which, I have to admit, I never used.

When I compared the output between Hello and Bing, the filtering worked pretty well. It removed most of the StackOverflow results, which are 99% of the time not insightful.

Great job on this search engine and congrats on the release.

Given it's 9% for my cohort (1980), I'd say childhood mortality is mostly focussed on the first year.
Depends on age. Either way it's the parents job to keep their kids safe until they're $legal_age. Sometimes this might mean teaching common sense, sometimes it might mean not exposing your kids to TikTok.

It feels like common sense is a dying thing, could it be because we specialize further and further? I "can't cook" for example.
100%, and I'd go even further.

The time I spent playing video games was better for my development all round than my time spent doing homework. The time I spent reading was far better. The time I spent outside playing was likely even better again, in my particular case.

I question the legitimacy of a system which teaches the scientific method yet kills millions of years of child development with utterly unproven busy work.

> Is it just me, or is the language in the essay strangely hard to parse?

It's not you. The author appears to have been influenced by deconstructionist philosophy. Read some Derrida to get a feel for this. That style is snarky with a layer of pseudo-intellectualism on top. This was a big thing at liberal arts schools in the 1990s. About one sentence in five will say something concrete. The rest discusses tangents consistent with the author's ideology. There's just enough meat in this sort of writing to prevent it from being dismissed as totally bogus. But the fat content is excessive.

Text:

By virtue of every imaginable variety of insufficient parenting and relentless contingencies of Oedipal failure, the victim suffered insufficient separation and individuation and was rendered susceptible to feelings of being a fake. The imposter was said to have an undeveloped ego that fluctuated wildly between grandiosity and insufficiency, and to be susceptible to what Freud called “the family romance,” a secret belief that one’s all-too-abject parents could not really be one’s parents. Surely, the imposter thinks, the real parents will arrive to reveal the truth of a more noble bearing.
Today’s imposter is not subject to the Oedipal treadmill. Experts assigned by universities and companies to mitigate imposter syndrome emphasize a rigorous self-sufficiency that tends to render the old fashioned attempts at a family-based etiology irrelevant. In another inversion, the neurotic imposter of old was the exception to the normal vicissitudes that would render one rooted in a convincing-enough sense of self. Today’s victim of imposter syndrome is the exception insofar as they belong to an elite and privileged class, but in other respects the imposter is the norm, the expected result of a naturalized economy where parents aspire to produce admirably competitive subjects whose imposter diagnosis testifies to the success of their efforts in raising admirable offspring.

Simplified version:

Impostor syndrome used to be mostly about with comparing yourself with your parents. (Classical theme of Freudian psychoanalysis.) Now it's more about being in a group of high-achievers and not feeling up to their level.

As someone wrote above, "the essay doesn’t actually have a lot to say, but that fact is hidden by convoluted language."

The problem is that it was built by the last 50+ years of technology and regulations. The system is a product of its upbringing. A company could starts out with noble goals of doing better and slowly year by year sink into this

My father works in that field. In his opinion heat pumps (with today prices and optimizations) are way overrated. The initial investment and the energy spent (it’s way more than advertised) doesn’t make sense for the average family.
What forced me most to use DRY in inappropriate ways is typing out blocks of the same code again and again. Then I realized that and began to maintain and use easily expandable snippets with fillable placeholders. It turned out that my mind had no objections against repetitive code at all, and the clarity of it has only increased, due to the lack of context switches and parametric entanglement.
All you need for those things is a complete overhaul of capitalism itself.

How do otherwise intelligent people come to believe things this stupid? An NFT is a glorified receipt, the most it can possibly do is prove you purchased something but you can already do that with regular fucking receipts and credit card statements.

Inevitable. If you truly want to own your content, you either need to purchase physical media or visit TPB.

Having expectations that a corporation is going to uphold some prior agreement is a fun joke. Especially, when you’ve already given them your money.

The only way to fix the behavior is to fix the consumer, but most people don’t have the patience to manage terabytes of on-site media in such a way that it can be reliably accessed by mobile devices.
There are several reasons a language can go extinct, and while the reasons you mentioned are included there are several other reasons that you didn't consider. The most common way language death occurs is through contact with a prestige language, which results in social pressure that makes the non-prestige language become less and less commonly spoken[1]. A community becoming bilingual is part of this process -- it doesn't always result in language death, but it is an early stage of that form of language death.

As for a European country official language (strange line to draw), Icelandic is already in a state where younger Icelandic natives speak to each other in English because smartphones do not support their native language. It is entirely possible that Icelandic will be in danger of extinction this century[2].

Haha speaking of Apple stuff being Disney-ified, my phone stopped charging wirelessly. The solution to that is to restart it, but Apple hid that option under 3 layers of menus and I can never find it, so I asked Siri to "turn off this f--ing phone". She said "That's not nice" and did not turn off the phone.
Apple colluded with Google when it suited them before, I cannot see a reason to trust them any more than Google.
that can't be true. In Germany it is quite a trend now, but they are installed for many years. What I can read in the boards is not that discouraging. Where does this 10 year number come from?
Or instead of raising bureaucracy and locking out people (not everyone has a smartphone), you could do the more sensible approach and just make things more expensive overall until less people come.
Im not allowed to do that. I work in high security environments usually. We can’t even talk to GitHub from those nodes. And if we could we’d be shot for doing it.

Pulling stuff out of GitHub regardless of the repo into a production machine should be frowned upon anyway.

Thanks! You have a really interesting taste in music I think. I just skimmed through every album.

I saved the album from: Tim Hecker, Sunn 0))), Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Brian Eno

With Mozart and Bill Evans I am familiar.

The Godspeed You! album I found not as straigt forward and distinct as I like my music. But don't take this as proper critique. Even though I hear lots of music, I have no 'intellectual' base to say anything substential about music else than wether it clicks with me or not. For some music I think I get the (an) 'idea' and other music just feels all over the place and I can't get hold of the (an) general idea.

Sleep: Jerusalem I didn't found on spotify. Seems like a very generic name... Are you sure this is the full name of artist and album?

If you have more to share, I'm happy to listen to just a bit more. Don't you go over board, I have other things to do as well ;)

Yes, I’d be happy to learn a new language if it was the step to one unified language. Of course there is no way to back that up since it will never happen but I at least assume I’d do it if that was the case.
The advantages of services and the complexity of distributed systems are obviously at odds with each other and proper architecture is going to be a requirement to be able to use a services oriented setup to its advantage.

If your team was bad at systems architecture before attempting such a project then they will do much worse than before. But this is akin to saying that cooks should not use sharp knives because they can cut themselves. Yes they can. But expert cooks would much rather use sharp knives than blunt ones even if they run the risk of cutting themselves.

A team of also-rans that go for a services oriented solution in a cargo cult fashion is going to get bogged down by complexity. That's no change from them getting bogged down by using a monolith that turned into a bowl of spaghetti.

I've seen microservices applied in ways that made my hair stand on end, every shitty little function was its own service and had its own API. Utter madness. But I've also seen a monolith with several major functional blocks cut up on sensible lines and then dealt with by a much larger number of teams than before with success. Like everything else: if you are doing it wrong no amount of magic is going to help you, you first need to know what it is that you are doing.

My best advice if this sounds familiar is that you should up the hiring bar, considerably so. But that will also require paying more per person and companies that have a problem with the former usually also have a problem with the latter.
We have several hot water heater apologists in this thread. It's rather amusing.

Mistake 1: Switch from DRY to premature optimization.

Finland assigns the least homework, and gets the best educational outcomes.

https://in-finland.education/homework-in-finland-school/

While "the success of education system in Finland is provided by many factors, starting from poverty rates in the country to parental leave policies to the availability of preschools", the above still seems pretty cut and dry.
I love the style this is written in: each paragraph starts with a new idea/concept/fact and then goes on to explain it in depth.

Leading with the conclusion makes it easier to grasp and gives context for the following explanation.

You can read through the whole article even if you don’t understand some technical detail, because the paragraphs don’t require understanding the previous one but “start fresh”.
I interpreted the GP to mean: "Why use `fn` instead of `function`?"

DRY is better for performance (cache efficiency). It’s also less work for the compiler. Those might not be concerns of someone writing pizza CRUD in python.
Unfortunately it's a losing game, by now, the future Steve Jobs-es will have to dig even harder in order to find people with liberal arts education who might also be valuable in some STEM field.

The latest example (and the one that also made me think along those same lines as your post) is this otherwise really interesting Economist article [1] about gender quotas among Finland's teacher corps (like I said, really interesting article). At some point the authors of the study the article is all about define as "more success" when it comes to the pupils involved in said study those kids that later turned out to study "STEM or medicine" (as it shows up in one of the charts, STEM as a "object of desire" is also explicitly mentioned in the article itself).

So, in a way, it looks like we have already conditioned ourselves (and probably our kids) to look at STEM as inherently more "valuable" than a liberal arts education, which will probably mean even less kids choosing that arts education way.
