The whole ecosystem around Talon[0] is fantastic. You'll probably want to start with [1] if it's your first time, it's a community-maintained talon config which is a good starting point for customization.

The speech recognition engine built for it is great and the whole thing is free of charge, though I do recommend donating on Patreon [2].

Cursorless is a nice rethinking-from-the-ground kind of project. However, you can just as well keep using your current tools.

I've used Talon on and off with Jetbrains IDEs when I had some wrist pain and the overall experience was great, with my coding speed being fast enough without much practice. When voice typing, autocomplete is also very useful, so the introduction of Copilot was an additional huge improvemet.

But overall, the design of Talon, its config files, and the way this leads to very easy customizability, is really great. A bit like making your whole OS easily automatable and programmable (even if your OS isn't emacs /s).

My intuition was indeed trained a long time ago. In terms of memory use, the current choice is likely optimal. But I have a hard time believing that doing an or operation on two sets of sorted numbers will be as fast as the same for two bitmaps of 8k. The latter can be trivially simd accellerated, and could be done in-place.

Having said that, I applaud that this type of datastructure is being investigated. An efficient bitset should be present in every collections library.
“Annoying” doesn’t describe a quality of social media and forums. It describes an emotional reaction to reading and participating in them. If you find social media annoying don’t use it. Or learn how to ignore the things that annoy you.
End-users would likely end up in large class actions against the manufacturers in such a hypothetical situation.

While turbulent for a brief moment it would be a strong market incentive for those who pump out insecure devices to change their ways.
> Why game community?

At some point you have to blame the community itself, that example OP linked to is not an isolated incident, unfortunately.

Later edit: This [1] is a very sick and not ok community, a very sick one. Harassing a person in his own village, in his own house, on the streets of his own physical community, it's not ok. I didn't know who that Drachenlord person was until seeing OP's link, I'm left wondering how come all of that is legally possible, how come those persons that physically harass him are not in prison by now.

Designing a coherent set of keyboard shortcuts
The Agile Manifesto lists ideas and guidelines, not inviolable rules from a burning bush. The author didn’t have all the answers or a crystal ball. Take what you can use, adapt what you can.

One thing decades of software development teaches us: no one knows how to do it right reliably and consistently. No silver bullet. No one right way. Try ideas that seem to make sense and have worked for others, but avoid ideologies and self-proclaimed experts.
I did the same thing but didn’t continue because I hate the kinds of slow app you get vs. web 2.0

That said what I noticed is a lot of chains are EVM compatible. So had I continued I would have stuck with Solidity, piggybacking off the innovation there.

> Would it be impossible to run DDoS as a service for profit without Cloudflare?

Quite frankly, yes. Before CloudFlare won the race to the bottom, you'd have to front thousands of dollars per month for bulletproof DDoS shielded hosting to get started.

There is a finite amount of DDoS-for-hire business that used to keep itself in check because they were constantly throwing attacks at each other raising everyone's "cost of goods sold" so to speak. By protecting these providers shops and ignoring abuse complaints CloudFlare helps more of them stay in business increasing the frequency and size of attacks needing to be mitigated.

I do not believe CloudFlare really thought this out. I believe it was a happy accident.
> Nobody goes out and blames the gas station or holds them accountable.

If the gas station operator knows the criminal's identity and hides it, I'm pretty sure everyone would go after the gas station.

DDOS-protection is one of Cloudflare's services. The other one is hiding where you host your stuff, so people cannot contact your host to have them shut down the illegal operation.

My side getting our way is good. Their side getting their way is bad.

It seems rational for any partisan to think this way, no? People standing on opposite sides of the battlefield, shooting at each other with the same sort of weapons, both believing in the goodness of their cause.
I assume he means the basic syntax like the fact that everything is an expression, `name: type` not requiring brackets for `if` and `for` etc. Most of the ugly Rust syntax is for advanced features like lifetimes and generics.
Reading the article, I've been programming for 45 years now, starting with a Z80 kit (which I still have, and still works - 768 bytes of RAM free) then PDP-11's (Fortran and Macro-11), 35 years of C (TurboC 1.0 FTW), Javascript, various scripting languages (not sad to see the back of Perl) and a shedload of embedded stuff. Helps I started out in electronics; I've long been surprised how many programmers don't really know what's going on under the hood.

Main thing I'd add to the article is about keeping motivation. There's always new stuff to learn, but one of the biggest motivations I get these days is helping others. Working at startups with people just getting started on their careers is intensely rewarding, being able to help them gain understanding and solve challenges (rather than just telling them how to do it/what library to use).

Traffic enforcement varies widely. Larger jurisdictions here in the Pacific Northwest seem to not enforce anything outside of parking rules in paid areas.

Meanwhile some neighboring suburban jurisdictions come down harshly on passerbys, even when the stop was unjustified and no crime occured.
The implementation as it stands is actually easier the way they do it. They replace the image by scaling Rick to the image size. That means that they can still automatically put your output images in a grid without any extra code. They could have zeroed the pixels, but that could have led to confusion about if things were working or not.

It's silly and you're able to patch it out if you so desire. But most importantly, they released the model to everyone so it's way more open than OpenAI's DALL-E 2 (for better or worse). I don't think the argument that they're trying to control you really makes a lot of sense given how widely accessible this model is.

Exactly, if you don't defend your trademark, you don't effectively have one. It's not enough to have a trademark registered. You have to actively go after people when they infringe. It's not optional. You can't be selective about it either. Oracle has not done that.

There are countless examples of people using the javascript name, incorporating it in books, articles, products, derivative works, etc. So, effectively the trademark has not been defended for decades. All fine with Oracle apparently. They never objected or sent any cease and desist letters. Oracle would not stand a chance in a court trying to enforce it now.
Well the replacement of this code base uses Solr. But when legacy started we where on lucene 1x that over the years upgraded to lucene 9x. So one of the things we used our bitmaps for was for a number extensions to pure lucene. So like facets, but also inter index joins. And then preserving résultats for fast faceting that remained part of the query.

E.g. a thing that legacy can but the new www (Solr) currently can't is allow downloads in a streaming fashion of more than 5million documents. As maintaing a roaringbitmap cost very little memory but depends on docid to key/value store mapping. Our extensions allowed this and gave us a very easy to use rest API.

Itertools is your friend:

from itertools import product

for x, y in product(a1, a2):
if test(y):
break

Not only you get the behavior you want, but you get an easier to read code with one less level of indentation. Bonus, you can now use "else" (which most people don't know can be used with "for" and not just "if").

Why introduce a new syntax when a library does the job? A new syntax is a huge bar to pass for a language, and nested loops are rare.

Itertools is a gem, and any python dev will benefit greatly from mastering it.
I'm seeing a lot of people making Agile something it isn't/shouldn't be. There's a difference between core Agile (as in Agile Manifesto) and one of the many commercial imagination of it.

Agile wasn't meant for project management but instead as as a tool to organize work in development teams and respond to situation arising in such landscape. It was "weaponized" by business but (at least from my experience) everything that is wrong with it was brought to the table by those business practices.

Agile isn't for planning long term projects or managing projects portfolios. It isn't a communication method not a risk management one. There are dozens (if not hundreds) of PM methods implementing full scope of PMBOK's areas of concern that one should use for those. Some even use Agile as an internal process, but still plan using other tools.

Yet, I understand many of comments here. In many places I've seen Agile is misused if not bastardized to a level where I hated it.

But just to show the contrast: I've worked recently in an environment where there was no scrum, no sprints, no agile points, and environment was really allergic to any mention of Agile (Oh no, we don't use it HERE). There was a lead who talked to everyone on Monday and said "we want to have X by the end of the week, can you do it?". Every single person had their X and everyone worked toward that goal. That planning usually worked and each week ended with deploying next iterative version of the software. It was the most Agile place I ever saw.
The most complicated projects that humanity has built are software.

The tooling and the culture in the software world is decades ahead of fields like engineering or business management.

Take ideas like version control - a way to do change management. Open source. Test driven development. Continuous integration. These have existed in a nascent way in other fields, but software engineering has really taken the ideas to the next level.

I know some new hardware companies that have taken these approaches to their whole integrated hardware-software development methodology, with extreme success.

So it seems we need new car companies in Europe, and at least one founder probably needs to have used git.
I will start by saying that I personally do believe that the brain is a computer, with the minnd simply being software.

However, given our current level of understanding of how the mind works, we can't say for sure that certain thoughts are algorithmic. For example, we don't know an algorithm by which new systems of axioms can be created, nor even a general algorithm for proving a theorem in a given system of axioms, beyond brute force searching. Given that human minds do these things relatively often, it's unlikely they are arriving at it by brute force search in the enormous domain of mathematical statements.

So, we can't say we've ruled out the possibility that the mind is using some unknown non-computational process for finding novel theorem proofs. Note that proof checking is algorithmic, only proof discovery is potentially not.

Now, to me extrapolating this to a non-computational theory of mind smells a lot like a God-of-the-gaps argument, so I don't buy it. But it is worth remembering the limits of what is actually proven to be computable.

I've taken this example somewhat directly from Turing's paper on computation - there, he bases the model of the Turing machine specifically on a mathematician doing rote mechanical calculation with a pen and paper (the machine state is their brain state, the tape is the notebook, the writing head is the pen, and the reading head is their eyes). However, non-rote calculations are arguably left out of the paper's claims (or at least most of them).

Much more famous arguments about non-computational theories of mind are, to me, much less convincing. The most famous is probably The Chinese Room, where the idea is that a man locked in a room receives a question on paper written in Chinese characters, and follows lookup tables and English instructions to return another paper written with Chinese characters, but can't really be said to understand Mandarin even if he is always returning the right answer for the question asked (or so the author claims). Another such famous argument is Mary's Room, where Mary is also locked in a room where nothing has the color red, but where she gets to rid everything that can be known about the physics and biology of the color red and its perception in the human brain (much more knowledge than we have today), but where she is assumed to still have a new experience once she leaves the room and actually sees red for the first time directly.

Depends.

For a small company the interviewer might well be the beneficiary of your work and in the end he needs you more than you need him. So a good one won't let his bad day ruin a nice candidate.

Also, depends on culture. There are countries where 1:1 interviews with a different gender candidate are okay.

It is like renting a storefront in a mall and selling goods stolen from other shops in the mall. What the storefront is doing is illegal, and offering them free rent hurts the other legitimate shop owners in the mall.

To extend the analogy, the mall also refuses to tell the other store owners who owns the shop so they can take legal action. (Cloudflare quite famously will just forward your complaints about hosting illegal services to the service themselves)
