He fired the NLRB general counsel, not an NLR Board member/judge. This ruling, for example, was 3-2 along party lines. Calling the smallest possible democratic majority "packed" is something, especially when as I understand it it is impossible to "pack" the NLRB, it's required to have 2 democrats and 2 republicans.
As someone who has held both roles I agree with this point, though the same vice versa can be said about operating with certain complexity. Developers need to deal with a considerable scale of complexity too, with regards to various technologies and practices, that architects can't be expected to be proficient in. The key to success is your architects and developers having an affinity for each others role and responsibilities, and management ensuring appropriate conduits to keep the two engaged.

I've been a solution architect embedded with a team of 4 devs, but was constantly dragged into meetings by more senior architects collaborating on the wider platform we were re-writing. That collaboration was important, but it consumed too much time. At the time I lost connectivity with the developers and they were to a degree twiddling their thumbs while a design was nailed out.

Since then I've come to see the benefit of design and architecture stages including the actual developers as much as possible/as much as they want to be included. By that I mean specifically things like getting developers to pair with you on proof of concept work, where you need some form of discovery that will lead to a design decision; pairing with developers on pieces of analysis and documentation around the current state of the system/application, or business/user workflows (in teams where there has been no business analyst).

With conceptual/high level design you might not need much developer input, but when you get into the detailed design/logical design dev input can be crucial (especially if you don't know a lot about the current state of a system). When I'm putting together a design I like to go as wide as possible first with the scope, and then fill out the scale of each area with details after further analysis. Getting your developers (if they're available), to help fill in some of those gaps can be beneficial.

Getting that early engagement with the actual developers is key, and in my opinion taking a more agile and scrum approach to the architecture is much better than doing all the big design up front with zero developer input and then throwing it over the fence. That said, your development team needs to be geared for this, and some might not be, if all devs are busy delivering feature A while the architect looks ahead at what's next. But if I can get time from at least 1 developer who has a good handle on the current code and tech stack, then that's definitely something I capitalize on.
Not just economic. Reagan believed that the Soviet Union itself should fall, and would fall. Neither was consensus among the politicians and diplomats in America, to say nothing of Europe. he applied economic, military, and diplomatic pressure to make it so. He understood what would happen when the soviets started to relax their control. Something Gorbachev didn't understand or couldn't fight.

Why do you think the key phrase of the end of the cold war is "Mr. Gobachev, tear down this wall!". Reagan challenged him to dismantle something that they both knew couldn't stand, and that would result in the eventual collapse of the GDR (it was, after all, built to save the GDR from all of its citizens voting with their feet to abandon communism and leave for the west). Ironically, the "domino theory" ended up being correct, but it was the east and the soviets that couldn't sustain the effects of satellite states being lost, not Asia and America.

Gorbachev gets a lot of credit for not behaving like his predecessors had, with violent crackdowns and marching armies whenever the rule of the party was threatened. Most say this was due to Gorbachev not understanding - but I think it's simpler. Gorbachev simply knew that the state could no longer do so - and in fact the one time he tried, it completely failed on him.

Gorbachev also lied (and changed his story) vis-a-vis NATO expansion something that Putin has used to build a "NATO betrayed us story" to justify his invasion of Ukraine much as Hitler used the "stab in the back".

Does that take away from Gorbachev? Maybe not, but Gorbachev was presiding over a failing state the second he took power. He simply rode it out, with as little violence as possible. That's something to be celebrated.

A problem with semantic markup is when it doesn't do what you want, and you need to wig-wam it. Does this mean you actually wanted presentation markup? Or, since you are trying to convey meaning, does it mean that the semantics aren't rich enough to describe what you mean?

In this D2 example (https://d2-lang.com/assets/images/intro-example-a917149ff3b7...), the diagram is nicely designed to be centered on the nexus node crawler. But the choices of which side the tributary nodes are on is not. You might want cron below and ps->express below - or to the sides.

The grammar can be extended to accommodate this (maybe already has been), but what is the semantic meaning of above, below, left or right?

One semantic choice is made: the "persists" arc is unidirectional, and is presented left-to-right - a natural order for many languages.

(Technically, "declarative" needn't be "semantic", but arguably is the most useful one)

> one day I'd be able to leverage that skill to advance my economic position. And so I did. I'm good at it. I don't have any specific complaints about my job or my team.

Don't think that this job is the same as any other job you could be doing. Try some other ones. It took me a while to get around to working at small startups, then a large company that runs smoothly with minimal BS, etc.

I suspect that a significant amount of your day energy is lost to the perception that your job is a chore. If you can run your day without emotional judgement perhaps you would have more energy at the end of your day for personal projects. Maybe you could try "going through the motions" that get the job done without the emotional energy expenditure. Or maybe I'm way off base. In any case, it seems that the goal you attained has led to disillusionment. For me the best thing would be working with sharp co-workers where I feel like any day I could be learning something new and interesting that might be useful elsewhere.

Western Europe was in it for buying the cheap oil and selling luxury goods to the Oligarchs.
Diaz’s whole shtick as a comedian is that he tells these off the cuff, crazy, somewhat believable, but always totally fictional stories about himself. They’re always super offensive, and paint him as a sort of greasy criminal/mobster.

So this clip alone isn’t really enough to come to any conclusions.

That would be truly awful if the stories he told were at all true, but without additional evidence I’m inclined to believe that they’re nothing more than a comedy routine.

The story in this video is offensive for sure, but in context it also wasn’t really all that taboo to make those types of jokes back when this was recorded.

I think that's why broader podcasts are popular. You don't really know the specific topic you're getting, but it's often pretty interesting, and you can go deeper from there, finding the one or few expert podcasts that talk about that topic.
>If the U.S. had pushed for a system that actually would've held the resources in trust for the people and allowed them to be developed by market capital, that very likely could've happened.

No, this is purely wishful thinking. The Soviet System was one fundamentally incentivized and propagated corruption. Those who had previously been in control or had knowledge of the workings of the Soviet Economy were always going to profit significantly. The US had little control over this.

Even in the most hyper-optimistic scenario, understanding how to translate user requirements into instructions for the AI - and understanding how to verify that what comes out actually does what was requested - are going to be valuable skills.
There are hash algorithms for image similarity. For a toy example, imagine scaling the image to 8x8px, making it grayscale, and using those 64 bytes as hash. That way you only have to hash each picture once, and can find duplicates by searching for hashes with a low hamming distance (number of bit flips) to each other, which is very fast.

Of course actual hash algorithms are a bit cleverer, there are a number to choose from depending on what you want to consider a duplicate (cropping, flips, rotations, etc)
"One of the peculiar phenomena of our time is the renegade Liberal. Over and above the familiar Marxist claim that ‘bourgeois liberty’ is an illusion, there is now a widespread tendency to argue that one can only defend democracy by totalitarian methods. If one loves democracy, the argument runs, one must crush its enemies by no matter what means. And who are its enemies? It always appears that they are not only those who attack it openly and consciously, but those who ‘objectively’ endanger it by spreading mistaken doctrines. In other words, defending democracy involves destroying all independence of thought."

This seems sort of pointless -- you could just compile versions of the function for all the types that might be there -- except maybe the code is to be specialized on a type that came from a shared library that was not visible to the linker at the time the program was built.
That makes sense, but that would imply that there's a limit, right? Once the image is pixel-perfect and outputs the optimal image, what does increasing the model size do? Who and how can decide: "yes, this is more Picasso looking than that one", or "this one indeed looks more energetic", or "this image does make me sadder than this one". How do you benchmark this?
Lovely article, and makes me wonder how the python ecosystem would look today if green threads won out over asyncio.

That said I do believe it's too late for this to change; for most people all that you really need to understand is the async and await keywords to take advantage of asyncio.

This is always the assumption of a new technology, and relies on people that assume the absolute minimum of the person's role. It seems you might have the belief that a creative's role is to sit and generate MS Office style clipart.

Instead let's take a short journey into the role of an illustrator with an example job.

An author hires an illustrator to produce a series of illustrations for their new children's story. The illustrator reads the story and discuss ideas with the author, they will talk through and present styles (or make a new one) that match the feel of the story, and match the progression of the story-arc. They'll craft mood boards and multiple story boards to best capture the story, then work through revisions with the author and finally proceed to artwork. Their skills extend beyond drawing, their skills are rather in the knowledge in how to craft and present in a visually engaging way, the picture is the end point - but everything else is 80-90% of the job. I know watercolour artists whose stunning visuals take less than 10 minutes to paint, their whole job is about the steps that came to that point.

However, let's get back to the illustrator - the artwork will then be tailored to suit the medium, for a book this may mean altering the imagery away from the spine area or where thumb placement typically is - for digital this could involve developing layered sub-elements to support animation or parallax, or ensuring that screen size isn't going to ruin the experience and so on, at this point we've now engaged other kinds of creatives to suit the specific technicalities of the output.

I won't go on, but the process does continue from here, it's a highly tailored process and every job is clearly different. AI text to image doesn't do any of this. It currently can't even do consistent images (hopefully that will change.)

Now we have people on the internet who have never worked in a creative field and not really experimented with StableDiffusion to see its obvious limitations all while telling the world that these people will be unemployable and that their craft will be worthless.

I think my simple example above helps outline that the drawing of a picture is just one part of the role. Here I've used an illustrator as an example, but it could have just as easily been a branding designer with a logo, a character designer, a story-teller, a prototyper and so on and so forth. All of these people ultimately produce a picture, but the "job" is everything that leads up to that point.

AI will merely be a new tool for these people, and they'll be excited to receive it.

Warlordism has nothing to do with democracy. Each warlord was just their own little dictator fighting for expansion. The people were just cannon fodder.

In fact the Chinese did manage to create a thriving democracy after the warlord era, which is still here today. But it's based in Taipei and the mainland Chinese leaders want to take it down because it undermines their narrative.

And the Russians having the easiest beginnings of democracy for a few months claiming they "tried it and it didn't work"? Never heard them say it but if they did it's just dogma.

The point is that nonsense "multiverse TV" has been a thing since I can remember watching TV.

Endless entertainment it's already there, you can't watch it simply because most of the content you're talking about is not on air and streaming platforms don't buy it, because it's shit.

Not that I don't like shit, I've watched more troma/SyFi/random low budget Asian movies (I am a huge fan of ninja movies) than necessary, but if we stop to think that there are already 6 or 7 sharknado movies (that are exactly the kind of endless entertainment you talk about, they are probably generated in some way), maybe it's not the volume of content that's missing, but probably content that's worth watching.
Is it really an exemption from the ToS for them to run their own operating system on other hardware?

For one thing, it would still be "Apple-branded hardware" if Apple just puts an Apple sticker on it, so would literally be compliant with the same ToS they offer to everyone, but even if it wasn't based on that technicality, they reserve all other rights to their IP, so I don't see any logical or legal reason why they couldn't either make a version of Xcode that ran on an alternate OS or run macOS on other hardware.

Yeltsin is very much to blame. Russia would have transitioned much better if Gorbachev had been the head of the post-USSR Russia instead of Yeltsin.

That said, the former Soviet Republics that transitioned well are those that were smaller, already edging their way towards a market economy before the USSR collapse, and received substantial help from (and eventually joined) the EU (Baltics, Hungary, Poland, Czech Rep., Slovenia), and in the case of E.Germany, unification.

I don't think most of the others have fared that well. GDP/Capita is not a good measure because it doesn't take inequality into account.

> xdotool does about a quarter of what AutoHotKey does, and even combined with sxhkd, Espanso, Autokey etc. still doesn't match up.

That may be true of AutoHotKey on Windows but we're talking about a Linux port here where some of the features straight up don't work or don't add anything that didn't already exist in Linux.

> xdotool doesn't do hotkeys itself, and doesn't work well being run with hotkeys involving modifiers

It doesn't do those things because it doesn't need to on any version of KDE or Gnome (or probably anything else) since about 1998, possibly earlier though my memory gets foggy beyond that point.

> AutoHotKey also does hotstrings (Espanso is the closest Linux equivalent I know, and doesn't work as well IME)

Espanso and AHK probably suffer the same fate, given this line from the AHK for Linux Documentation:

> Hotstrings don't work in some applications. Not sure if this is fixable (help needed!). The only reliable alternative is using Hotkeys.

> app- or window-specific behaviour, and more.

You can absolutely do app- and window-specific things with xdotool. It merely requires adding some steps to detect the window or process, which is identical to AHK's approach if you're just writing scripts.

The best thing this port has going for it is that it has a great UI that people are already familiar with and in spite of its shortcomings as a port it is worth checking out.

I'd love if someone spent the time to develop something like this into a script generator for xdotool that could do things like recording mouse movements, etc.

Maybe a wayland-ized version can support hotstrings and the other warty edge cases that don't work on Linux the way they do on Windows.
