The design team at Apple is still super influential. I should’ve probably clarified in my previous post: I work at Apple and over the years made good friends with writers on the team. We worked very closely in some Siri teams I was on.

Anyways, we still catch up once in a while and from what I gather the design team is truly organized to value the art and outcomes far far more than chasing promotions and titles. As an engineer, I can assure you I feel a very different vibe in the eng org; chasing after promotions is still a part the career “mindset”. Even amongst all my eng friends here. In all fairness though, that’s how all big tech eng teams in the Bay Area or Seattle are organized. Engineers are incentivized to get promoted to dissuade “rest and vest”.

Anyways, my larger point is: yes, design team at apple is def the most powerful and has final say on features. Of course, the MBAs run everything else from financial analysis that determine designers’ raises to operations in the supply chain. Someone’s gotta turn the magic into reality, after all ;)
Nothing about this is specific to software; it happens everywhere. Wikipedia was mentioned in the article, as well as various other examples.
Pedestrian visibility is also compromised. My SO is not a tall person. We've tested - she's quite invisible standing in front of these trucks and SUVs, because their front hood is so high and square. A small child would be impossible to see even some meters away. Worse if the driver of the vehicle is not tall.
As a Russian programmer, worked in companies big and small, I cannot say this is even remotely right.

All companies I worked with really cared about cleanness of the origin of the code.
So empirical evidence on sample size of N=2 (Rust and C++) shows that when you take out exceptions from a PL [1] you get a number of mutually incompatible libraries for communicating errors. (Exceptions are controversial in C++ and many projects forbid their use.)

And then there's Go which seems to be too primitive to even facilitate custom error-handling libraries.

It makes me sad that there's no research (that I'm aware of) about ergonomics of exceptions. They're easily thrown, but as they're dynamically scoped, it's hard to know what to catch when you actually want to retry an operation instead of just catching a top-level exception type and logging it.
Since every human on Earth will soon own an iPhone, it makes sense to go for the pet market.

In hindsight constantly improving the water proofing makes sense. How else will you be able to immerse your goldfish’s iPhone in the tank?
I don't know much of the history or politics. I've mostly been a "let's just use (open source, if it needs to be said out loud) nginx" fire-and-forget kind of dude for a while now because I mostly don't care about this layer...

> We realize it complicated matters when we created [...] an open source Ingress controller for Kubernetes, [...] different from the community Ingress solution (also built on NGINX).

> It’s pretty clear that the Gateway API is going to take the place of the Ingress controller in the Kubernetes architecture. So we [...] will make the NGINX Kubernetes Gateway – which will be offered only as an open source product[...]

... but these two bits very much give me a feeling like they're planting their flag here and offering an open source version so that there's no "need" to go making another one that they don't control.
No it's not, AOSP is developed in the open. Directed by Google sure, but not just a code drop every release.

That sounds like so much fun! Like running your own mini micro greens grocery with a raspberry pi! Please post your project here, I'd love to see the results.
For newcommers to this subject, I really recommend watching this video [1]. It compares C++ vs Blueprints in UE. The author behind it has lot of game programming overview videos. I'm not that much into video watching since it's much harder to jump between sections than in textual content, but still these are really really good.

Also, maybe in a little bit different space is enso.org - visual real time etl. People behind it have just received series A funding. You can design pipeline using visual editor (built in rust btw., however it doesn't work that well yet imo) and custom built programming language [2]. I think you can even go from textual representation to visual and back, not 100% on that one though.

That sucks. I frequently travel to Europe and in my experience that Tier is way better than Lime, Dott, and Spin. Unlike other scooter companies, Tier always has a wireless phone charger integrated into the scooter, bulk minute cost is less, and you can always get in contact with a human support agent.
>>the notion of magic essentially means the ability to use willpower to modify physical laws<<

It's interesting that this is how you defined magic, because in a very real sense the ultimate purpose of most science is precisely to use our willpower to modify (what we previously believed to) physical laws.

Physical laws prevent human beings from flying, or breathing underwater, or viewing individual atoms. Until we literally used our willpower to design machines to overcome these "laws."

I have no doubt that eventually our collective willpower will be used to modify other "laws" we believe today, like the law that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Pretty magical if you ask me :)
I have this book. Can absolutely recommend it.
“In effect, we are shifting complexity from end-developers to library developers.”

For me, this should be a principle goal of someone writing a library. A primary function should be to shift complexity into the library, and allow other developers to not have to worry about it.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some perhaps unconscious trend of buyers picking more aggressive looking cars that are more likely to kill on impact.
The most complex thing I remember doing with nginx is video streaming using OBS as a source and multiplexing with nginx to YouTube, Facebook and Twitch.

How can I do this with Caddy?

A strange product.
I met Ryan Dahl once at like a CouchDB meetup in Oakland or something a decade ago. He was obviously a brilliant guy, and humble, and very likable as a result.

I very much admire that he seems to be trying to get things right in light of lessons learned, but history would imply that backwards compatibility tends to trump better technology on average.
For me using my lambda is definitely better than having a dependency on yet another external service (like the logz.io advertisement in your comment).
I had an office for a short time. We were moving to a new building and got to pick our seating arrangements by seniority. I was toward the end of the list but nobody had picked the lone office in our area so I did. My manager immediately had the walls torn down.
Pretty sure you just enjoy the buzz. Stop drinking for 12 months and see if you still really like the taste.
You can still have a useful experience on a pure AOSP build.

You'll miss features like push notifications, Google accounts outside of the browser, an app store and various other features.

But there's no reason the open source community couldn't add these, a package repo/app store equivalent and push messaging would probably be the deal breakers for me as a phone where chat apps don't work isn't useful to me.

The binary blobs to get driver support are also a problem, but it's also true in desktop linux, see for example Nvidia's graphics card driver.
Besides being Linux-only, the GH page lists intentional restrictions like “commonjs modules, no support for ES modules” -- that seems like a biggie!

The benchmarks seem to focus exclusively on startup time, which is certainly important but not the only important thing. (And unless I misread those tweets it’s only a tiny bit ahead of bun.)

More competition is good and helps keep everyone honest, of course, but it looks like extremely early days for this project.
> 18% more applies

What do you use as a proxy metric for the quality of applicants? 18% more great applicants is a world of difference from 18% more shit applicants.
Ah, that's you! Thanks so much for sponsoring. Hit me up if you ever need something or would like something more/special from your sponsorship.
They recycled a lot of material from last year's presentation. Tesla is the only company you really have to say this about: there is a non-negligible probability that this thing doesn't exist. There are no published results and we aren't seeing the mind-blowing pace of FSD improvements that Musk promised us in 2020 when Dojo 1.0 was only a year away.
Historically speaking, GHC has had C backend option to facilitate porting.

https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.4.2/docs/users_guide/co...

> -fvia-C

> Use the C code generator. Only supposed in unregisterised GHC builds.

> This is the oldest code generator in GHC and is generally not included any more having been deprecated around GHC 7.0. Select it with the -fvia-C flag.

> The C code generator is only supported when GHC is built in unregisterised mode, a mode where GHC produces “portable” C code as output to facilitate porting GHC itself to a new platform. This mode produces much slower code though so it’s unlikely your version of GHC was built this way. If it has then the native code generator probably won’t be available. You can check this information by calling ghc --info (see --info).
Twitter whistleblower alleges ‘egregious deficiencies’ in security measures
I'm going on the article above. It alleges that crimes have been committed. If there is no crime that is great and they might have a reasonable claim to libel.

I guess my point is that any action against them should be for specific crimes committed by law enforcement. Not de-platforming by an angry mob. The nice thing about falling back on the justice system is you need to prove your claims. So if there is no crime here then there is no action required against Kiwi Farms. But if there is then there is a valid path to justice that doesn't involve the mob getting their way without any due process.
I don't know if things have changed, but you definitely used to be able to install AOSP on some phones, the Nexus line were typically the easiest.

This is a useless graphic.

They HAVE to export because they can't regulate and they have to sell so the dishonest hidden price scheme they drive with their tax payer doesn't get too bad.
In the end they still need dirty power from countries like Germany. Something which is not carbon-free but also doesn't appear in all those fancy graphics the radioactive Astro-Turf hands out to their followers.

Russia. I don't see how anyone can see the massive losses Russia has had as well as the lasting impacts of sanctions as anything but suicidal. Russia cannot even build a modern car with ABS and airbags, let alone a plane or a tank while sanctions are in place.
I've heard this a lot recently about storing embeddings. As someone who has dabbled in ML I don't understand what it means. Can you point me to a good overview of the topic please?

This is a political opinion and regardless an implementation detail. My response was that telemetry serves actual purposes and very useful ones at that.

Our goal should be to adapt and ensure privacy via regulations and standards. Wishing, or enforcing, that every application not have telemetry by default is both unrealistic and unwanted.
Fortunately, we don't have the government handing out free handset so opting out is still a legal right and a practically realistic option. My concern is that if few enough people do so, this will no longer be the case for long.
I’m the same. I’m able to host unlimited subdomains using wildcard TLS and unlimited apex domains using TLS on-demand, all from one Caddy config. It’s amazing.

No disrespect to the good people behind nginx. Caddy is simply part of a new generation of web servers.
And our hearts.

And probably the other three simultaneous days.

For text (the GPT-3 case), that’d work to train a model that had no knowledge of the last century of popular culture or idiom, and was significantly biased to more formal and traditional writing styles. The effects of this would be really quite interesting, but I think it would significantly limit the places it could be usefully applied.

For DALL·E and Copilot, I’m confident that you couldn’t find anywhere near enough material to produce results anywhere near as good as what there is now. I strongly suspect the results would be too poor to be useful in most places where they may be useful now.
I grew Software Ideas to $6k MRR in three months
Android runs toybox (or at least used to), which implements many of the GNU tools. But I think the complaint is that much of the userland to have a useful phone experience is proprietary.

If you could install all the GNU tools into AOSP Linux (probably not that hard), you still don't have a useful phone.

It's not even the desktop environment (think GNOME/KDE/etc.), as there is a good enough version in AOSP.
> Caddy is simply part of a new generation of web servers.

I feel old now, as I continue to deploy Apache :-)
> A closer look at the rattos' brains confirmed that the soda groups had all sustained varying degrees of damage to the frontal cortex, which controls vital mental functions like attention, memory, and judgement, as well as the hippocampus, which plays a major role in both memory and learning.

It was just a tiny bit weird to read this, as someone who has been drinking a lot more soda, but also doing personality-changing frontal cortex exercises for the last 5 years.

(But I guess they also use the word "sugary" a lot here and I've been drinking the zero-sugar stuff, which hopefully is also zero-frontal-cortex-damage stuff.)

BTW they say some brain trauma can be repaired or will even naturally heal on its own; is this kind of damage also in that category?
If you are doing telemetry in a way that respects privacy this won’t be possible. Or at least there won’t be a way to verify whatever data you have locally to their database
Yes but on Github, the place that people sensitive to the definite article will see the most, it says "The web scraping and browser automation library."

I opened a PR to change it: https://github.com/apify/crawlee/pull/1480
I think perhaps their point is that, if some of the patients not discharged are consuming a nurse budget that isn’t required (because they are healthy and can be discharged), then this nurse budget could be redeployed to those waiting in admissions. Not sure how reasonable this is, I’m sure the hospitals will have thought of it themselves. But it does seem particularly silly to have the paramedics stuck in place and unable to serve anybody who may be even more critically ill.
> AWS abused the leniency of Elasticsearch's original OSS license,

They did not abuse anything. Elastic chose a license that allowed everything AWS did. It is Elastics problem if they don't understand licenses.
It’s not obvious at all at the quantum scale. Nothing we’ve seen indicates that eg. the timing of the decay of a single particle, or the ability of a single electron to escape an energy well is deterministic, though they are easily predictable in aggregate.

Plex: Important notice of a potential data breach
Dear Plex User,

We want you to be aware of an incident involving your Plex account information yesterday. While we believe the actual impact of this incident is limited, we want to ensure you have the right information and tools to keep your account secure.

What happened

Yesterday, we discovered suspicious activity on one of our databases. We immediately began an investigation and it does appear that a third-party was able to access a limited subset of data that includes emails, usernames, and encrypted passwords. Even though all account passwords that could have been accessed were hashed and secured in accordance with best practices, out of an abundance of caution we are requiring all Plex accounts to have their password reset. Rest assured that credit card and other payment data are not stored on our servers at all and were not vulnerable in this incident.

What we're doing

We've already addressed the method that this third-party employed to gain access to the system, and we're doing additional reviews to ensure that the security of all of our systems is further hardened to prevent future incursions. While the account passwords were secured in accordance with best practices, we're requiring all Plex users to reset their password.

What you can do

Long story short, we kindly request that you reset your Plex account password immediately. When doing so, there's a checkbox to "Sign out connected devices after password change." This will additionally sign out all of your devices (including any Plex Media Server you own) and require you to sign back in with your new password. This is a headache, but we recommend doing so for increased security. We have created a support article with step-by-step instructions on how to reset your password [here](https://support.plex.tv/articles/account-requires-password-reset/?utm_source=Plex&utm_medium=email&utm_content=reset_password&utm_campaign=sql_db_password_reset).

We'd also like to remind you that no one at Plex will ever reach out to you to ask for a password or credit card number over email. For further account protection, we also recommend enabling [two-factor authentication](https://support.plex.tv/articles/two-factor-authentication/?utm_source=Plex&utm_medium=email&utm_content=reset_password&utm_campaign=sql_db_password_reset) on your Plex account if you haven't already done so.

Lastly, we sincerely apologize to you for any inconvenience this situation may cause. We take pride in our security system and want to assure you that we are doing everything we can to swiftly remedy this incident and prevent future incidents from occurring. We are all too aware that third-parties will continue to attempt to infiltrate IT infrastructures around the world, and rest assured we at Plex will never be complacent in hardening our security and defenses.

For step-by-step instructions on how to reset your password, visit: https://support.plex.tv/articles/account-requires-password-reset
Thank you,

The Plex Security Team
The positive interpretation is that this is an example of Gall’s law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gall_(author)#Gall's_law

Today’s JavaScript works because it has gradually evolved from the primordial JS which (just about) worked; at each stage in the chain it’s seen real-world usage as an in-browser language.

The alternative would be to build something better from scratch -- but that never works, says Gall’s law -- or to take some other battle-hardened language (C? Java? Python?) -- but trying to adapt those to work well in the browser would hit just as many technical and political barriers as JS did in becoming a decent general-purpose language.
I don't trust you concerned "we live in a society" types any further than I can throw yous.

(This is tongue in cheek. I'm not upset.)
I know this will be a item of only specialized interest, but I note that:

It is important to know that while this new repair site now offers parts and instructions for repairing MacBooks for example, there is also a special activation/configuration requirement on M1 MacBooks now after certain kinds of repairs, like screens, webcams, boards, etc. Otherwise they will not work fully (disabled webcam, screen brightness/Trutone not working, etc). I don't know the specifics but it's some kind of calibration codes, secure component tying or something similar.

The thing is that this repair site will not assist you if you do not buy the part from the site. I asked them about it because I was thinking of repairing mine with this new site. So even if you take a genuine original Apple part from another computer (not even ordering some 3rd party part, but a real Apple component) and use it in your own repair, you may not be able to activate it.

That sucks.
I have been saying for a long time. These big companies with an investment in getting these systems working could collaborate with twitter and instagram to include image license options. They could give users the option to opt-in to data collection. This would help the public feel like they’re giving consent, and it would also lead to the creation of massive, properly licensed open data sets. There’s already some big open image datasets to start with.

And of course, they could always work more on sample efficiency.
If it has survived this long without being replaced by something better it must be really good.

If such huge companies who has both the need and the resources to use ipv6 internally would rather stick to 240/4 or 10/8 ipv4, what hope do smaller organizations have of adopting ipv6?
Have you even seen a Smart car or a Toyota Aigo which has all the required safety parts?

Musk promising FSD by the end of the year - year after year - is one major thing that tarnished the Tesla image in my mind. I now assume that he has to believe that in order to avoid lawsuits. Maybe the same is with the computing infrastructure. They need to build it to show that they honestly believed it could work - even though they failed to deliver on their promises many times.

That said, they do make progress and the real reason why it's slow is probably because the problem is actually really hard and nobody has found the fast way to the solution yet.

Well, that's a bit off-topic from the parent comment, which was more about the Caddyfile supporting complex config (versus the underlying JSON config) and not really "complex usecases".

But that said, from a quick Google search... was this an RTMP stream? If so, I suppose you'd want to use https://github.com/mholt/caddy-l4 which is a plugin for Caddy that lets you do TCP-layer things. Caddy's standard distribution just ships an HTTP server (plus TLS and PKI, etc), which is layer-7

You might be able to use caddy-l4's "tee" handler to pipe into multiple "proxy" handlers. But I'm not sure anyone's tried this yet, I had no idea people did this sort of thing. I'd be interested to hear if it does work though.
