IMHO majority of Python software doesn't use threads because it is easier to write single threaded code (for many reasons), not because of GIL.
That is true of all of philosophy (he says, at the risk of his Junior Philosopher's Secret Decoder Ring). The interesting part is the systems you build (hopefully using logic) around it.

This seems good but I've never seen a manager who allows their subordinates to complete a two-phrase sentence. How have you trained yourself to speak fast enough to get this question out?

Yes, but when doing so seems silly it's a good sign that they should not be separate services. Keep things that change at the same time in the same place. When you schema changes the code that relies on it changes.

Romney Child Credit: Steps Forward and Falls Short, Low-Income Families to Pay
There's been rumours for a while now of a 15" Air in the next few years. It would make a lot of sense—not many people looking at the MacBook Air would be willing to pay double the price to jump to a 16" MBP just for a bigger screen.

Maybe there are a ton of unqualified developers in SV playing Wordle instead of coding? I have no idea. The vast majority of software projects aren't managed by FAANG or Unicorn companies. The financial landscape in those companies is completely detached from reality and not a good basis for comparison.
"multiple rounds of fake job interviews" ... "The con culminated in one senior engineer clicking a PDF supposedly containing the official offer"

Wow! These folks were really on the ball if it took that much social engineering just to get an employee to open a PDF.
It's funny how they made an article about 4 short comments between 2 devs.

People sure like to hate on change. Rather odd for a forum about disruptive startups.

Might be worth thinking about where Wayland was 5 years ago, and where it is now, and where it will be in 5-10 years. That's basically what the conversation was about.
There are plenty of experienced Rails devs out there. They don't need to be younger.
This doesn't sound plausible in the slightest.

The only persistent connection Apple has that I can think of to implement such a concept is for push notifications. Which would be a massive security hole if a HTTP response to that daemon was capable of bypassing the lock screen, secure enclave etc.

And the logical question is if they had such a system why would they bother triggering an iCloud Backup when they could ask the device to specifically hand over certain information e.g. Messages. Which at least could be done quietly over Cellular.
I mean, the restaurant industry is getting hit disproportionately by employees leaving in droves...
Yeah, in which Twitter is also locked down.
I was thinking about this earlier today. Several years ago I used to read Gwern's blog and I was thinking to myself how difficult it would be for someone to do anything remotely similar in today's environment. It's not just the superficial stuff the author of this article is mentioning - editing HTML and CSS and glitter. It's deeper than that. There's just not enough attention to go around. The economics are off and the incentives are misaligned.

No one's going to read a hyper-neurotic blog post about a quantified self experiment anymore and that sort of content won't fare well on tik tok. And it's a shame.
I thought this may be of interest to hn because it shows the technical tradeoffs in policy decisions.
I'm puzzled with what the market for these kinds of languages are.

C is sort of a dead end. There is very little innovation there. And that's fine; the users of the language seem to want it that way. They just want to write software the same way they've been doing for the last 20 years. Why would such a conservative user base want to switch to a different language like C3?

Linus once said this about Subversion: "Subversion has been the most pointless project ever started... Subversion used to say, 'CVS done right.' With that slogan there is nowhere you can go. There is no way to do CVS right." Could C3 be the Subversion of programming languages?
I don't really remember the exact numbers anymore, but covering only the top 5 languages will cover maybe 40% of the world population, while covering the top 200 languages (many of them low resource) will cover maybe 90% of the world population.

Some numbers (but you can not exactly infer from them such accumulated numbers): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_num...

Some more numbers from here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016763931...

"96% of the world’s languages are spoken by only 4% of its people."

Although this statement is more about the tail from the approx 7000 languages.
I mean the CPI in some countries is increasing by double digit percentage points. And the value of the euro has fallen so its now close to 1:1 with the USD.

This is a fantasy that could only from someone who doesn't actually need it. The people who actually need Lockdown Mode-- dissidents, organizers, journalists, etc.-- also actually need to communicate with normal people, and that means having a phone. If you're so unimportant that you can get away with your proposed computing scheme, you're not going to be the recipient of targeted cyber-attacks.
This comment feels disingenuous to me, but maybe I'm misinterpreting. Security features are always a service but there are real apps that provide real security. Signal and Matrix provide real encryption for communication. There's even mainstream products that do, like iMessage or Gmail, though these tend to be more selective about what is secure and what isn't (typically through walled gardens). Apple and Google both use federated learning, which is at least a step better than your typically data "anonymization." I agree that there's not enough push for serious security, especially as a default, but I also am not pessimistic on the subject either.

I have life insurance, yep! Which includes accidents, etc. Not that either of those situations is remotely analogous to GDPR fines.

Edit: I should make it clear that I don't operate the sites, so if your upset about what conclusion these websites came to, take it up with them. I am just pointing out that there still is a risk, and it is obvious that this remaining risk matters to some of these sites as they choose not to serve EU visitors. Do I block EU citizens from my site? No, I don't.
Apple Keychain requires iCloud. Most of iCloud is not end to end encrypted.

> You are not promoted to manager

This seems like a statement you could use to describe one’s own path, but not the path of others.

People absolutely are promoted to management positions. This cannot be disputed.

Whether the individual transitions into the role effectively and becomes a good manager is a separate thing.

I’ve worked with managers who started as devs, and took naturally to the role.

I’ve worked with horrible managers who started from the same place.

> but the fact that you see it that way explains a lot about your position.

What does it explain? You are implying it’s meaningful, but it’s impossible to engage with your position until you articulate it.
You’ve done a great job - it’s super smooth! Congratulations
I don't think Google factors into this plan anywhere. The endpoint is iOS devices able to build iOS apps with full fidelity using Xcode for iPad, not a web based IDE. Total control for Apple.
But there are still plenty of either/or scenarios with a perfectly functional vehicle because there are other people on the road. Some of the interesting ones involve whether it is the AI car's responsibility to the drivers/passengers in the car first versus everyone else.

For example, a car swerves in front of you (or runs a red light, or whatever) and the car hits the brakes but knows it will not be enough to stop running in to the car. Do they swerve off the road where they might kill a pedestrian, but will definitely save the driver or do you continue to crash in to the other car which may kill the driver of one or both cars.
Google has been dealing with nation state actors targeting its users (Gmail specifically) for a decade now. They have Advanced Protection program. We actually regularly used to hear about how human rights activists were targeted in spear phishing campaigns and then arrested.

The Network State in One Essay
That's dendrochronology, and it is used to date wooden objects. The problems are that you only get an age (the tree was N years old at the time this object was created), and that you only get a slice of the tree (you can only see the subset of rings that are visible in the wooden beam supporting the house).

You can compare ring widths, assuming you have wood from the same climatic area, and use that as a standard candle to date objects reasonably well.

So they have a system that can translate to languages for which there isn't as much data as English, Spanish, etc. Waiting for a Twitter thread from a native speaker of one of these "low resource languages" to let us know how good the actual translations are. Cynically, I'd venture that they hired some native speakers to cherry pick their best translations for the story books. But mostly this just seems like a nice bit of PR (calling it a "breakthrough", etc.). I can't imagine this is going to help anyone who actually speaks a random, e.g., Nilo-Saharan language.
It's such an odd thing to not address. Even the old Intel MacBook Air could drive two.
That's not what anyone means when they say "in production" though. When people talk about things being "in production" they mean "on a production server".

To be fair has anyone made it work safely ?
The examples given are, with native speaker numbers, Assamese (15 million), Catalan (4 million) and Kinyarwanda (10 million). These alone are more than an Australia.

Furthermore, Facebook considers the internet to consist of Facebook and Wikipedia (Zero).

I view this as just another extension of their Next Billion initiative, an effort to ensure that another billion people are monopolised by Facebook.

That's the payoff.
This looks awesome! The main thing holding me back from switching from C++ to C is the lack of type safe generic programming. This language looks like it not only solves that, but adds some other interesting features like defer that I've been wanting to try out :D. It looks like there are some examples of large projects getting successfully compiled by C3 (the vkDoom).

Since this is still only alpha 0.2, I'm curious how stable the compiler is and whether the core language features are subject to change? I'd love to start using this on some projects, but I'm always afraid to adopt a language in its early stages.
I really like Notion for databases
The best thing you can do is, IMO, find a peer that's seems kind and reliable that gives you bad review. Usually they'll have some points that you can use to reflect on your work, or to improve yourself.

Don't be down from bad review, you just don't realized what you've done and can improve, or they see your works in a wrong angle, which is also can you fix.
Ok, the first thing I looked at is "long content" https://defensivecss.dev/tip/long-content/
and here they recommend to just clip it. Because who cares about content right? Who cares if the partial content you display is useless, as long as it looks good. And that's the kind of tip everyone here is applauding. I would like to say webdesign is in a sorry state nowawadays, except it was also that way 20 years ago. Maybe this "who cares about the content" attitude is inherent to web designers? Sorry if I sound blasé or cynical, but one gets tired after long enough of this.

Honest question. Why? Or, what are you hoping will be different if this occurs as opposed to the current status quo?

macOS does it by default now. I've found it to be very useful at times.

They do offer other sorts of backups.

And it's both cumulative across all those languages (see above), cheap/amortized (if you can do a good multilingual NMT for 50 languages, how hard can 50+1 languages be?), and many of those languages are likely to grow both in terms of sheer population and in GDP. (Think about South Asian or African countries like Indonesia or Nigeria.) The question isn't why are FB & Google investing so much in powerful multilingual models which handle hundreds of languages, but why aren't other entities as well?

Bunnie Huang is working on Betrusted [1], a communications device that is designed to be secure from state actors. The first step is Precursor (about: [2], purchase:[3]) the hardware and OS that will be the platform for the communications device.

It's designed to be secure even though it communicates via insecure wifi, for instance via tethering or at home. The CPU and most peripherals are in an FPGA with an auditable bitstream to program the device to ensure there are no back doors. Hardware and software are all open source. It has anti-tamper capability.

It looks well-thought-out.

Adding to this, it's trivial to get the human readable text on a Google phone:

switch between apps and pick the app with the text but don't jump back into the app yet, select text and you can immediately copy the text out.

It's yielding the visible text, so most be OCR'ing the image (works offline too).

When i copy direct from the example on the web page, in the non-OCR method, that does give the messed up text, but not when done the way above.

" Phone: 514-867-5309" was copied out easily (can't be bothered to go back get the Cell bit i was just inaccurate copying, I'm sure it works!)
You're right in that moving away from Google is a huge behavioral change. While our model does prefer natural language queries, what I was really referring to are the different categories of developer searches. Ad-hoc how-tos are a type of search where the developer knows what to do but not exactly how e.g "how to set a cookie in fastapi." Troubleshooting searches are things like copy-pasting a compile error, or "why is X behavior not working."
It's the compositor used on the Steam Deck.

There are people who decide early in their career to go technical and never change their mind.

There are people who decide early in their career to go management and never change their mind.

But there are a LOT of people in the middle, and that's been the overwhelming majority of people I (anecdotally) know in management roles - they were good at what they do so they were promoted to management - junior dev, senior dev, tech lead / architect... whopsie, now you're manager and you don't know how you really got there; or you found you are good at talking to customer, understanding their pain points, and are also good at helping and supporting your team, so you accept a promotion you never thought you would a decade ago. And any other number of permutations. But I do know any number of people who did not "make a different career choice". They simply were doing a good job and ended up a manager. Inertia is a more powerful career drive than many people acknowledge.
You can try - I certainly did - but it's inferior, in nearly every way: performance most of all, usability, interfacing with the host OS, availability of libraries, APIs, interactive documentation, discoverability, customization..

The fact that Emacs has been in use (for decades) as a tool aimed at primarily solving everyday problems, means that it's been optimized for practicality to a ridiculous extent. That's not the case with Squeak, since it still has a very strong academic/research focus and a much smaller userbase than Emacs.

That's not to say that Squeak is useless, I'm a hardcore Emacs user and I do use Squeak too, but it's nowhere near as practical. It does however offer by far the best environment to experiment with Smalltalk and image-based development.

On the other hand, I don't recommend Pharo, as I found it even less practical than Squeak with frequent braking changes and a -seemingly- complete lack of focus that has pulled the project in widely different directions over the years. At least, Squeak is cohesive and hasn't broken with Alan Kay's vision.
>Also be aware that you are not their customer. Their dealers are their customers.

> Ford makes limited runs so dealers can put insane markups, while GM makes cars for people to buy.

Didn't they just announce fixed price direct to consumer sales for EV's?[1] Regardless, I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Dealers reap the markups, not Ford, and they're hardly moving any of those trims compared to the F-150 and other "normal" vehicles. If anything it's hurt them. The Focus RS was arguably axed because of dealer greed[2]. Of course Shelby has more fanboys, Chevy doesn't have an equivalent. Ford has made non-Shelby Mustang Cobras in the past and currently have the Mach 1 to replace the Shelby GT350. Having shopped for both I can say with confidence that regular Camaros trims in general tend to be higher marked up than Mustangs because their production volume is much lower, especially with the 1LE package. Ford churns out performance pack Mustangs like they're base models.

Specialised search engines are the future in my view. Google is an ocean of data great for generalised search. But as soon as you want to narrow down to a specific domain it’s mostly noise - in my personal experience.
Pretty much agreed. And we should also be projecting Wayland's future on a non-linear basis. Lets of groundwork has gone into it, similar to pipewire, and that will create a tipping point for the project in terms of stability and feature delivery rate.
