There are two different career tracks, namely IC (individual contributor) and EM (engineering manager). The latter revolves almost entirely around people management. For the IC track, I've found this writing[0] on staff engineer archetypes useful. The gist is that there are archetypes that involve a lot of people management, but there are also some that are highly technical / coding oriented.

One analogy that comes to mind is wuxia/murim novels (i.e. stories set in ancient times east asia, involving martial arts sects). Among the strongest characters, there's the sect leader type that is involved in politics most of the time, but there's also the recluse master training in the mountains type. Naturally, there's also plenty of characters clinging to titles, overconfident fools, etc.

I think this analogy is interesting because there's a clear parallel between the two worlds in terms of how titles are perceived, the craft that they purport to represent, and their place in the world. Titles can represent both status and mastery, but only loosely at best, the craft can be honed irrespective of both titles and the state of the world, and it's only through increasing a sphere of influence that one can have a sizable impact in the world and its citizens.

> People keep looking for “the next big thing” and it just isn’t coming.

Or... what if the next big thing is the phone becomes the computer, i.e. there will be no laptops? Imagine a device that you can connect to some peripherals including a monitor (possibly with its own GPU), then you undock it, put it in your pocket and move on to the next place - your home or your work with peripherals ready to use.

Today it seems impossible or hard to build but I think the bottleneck here is not even the hardware as much as it's software. But that's a long conversation. Just an idea (kind of an obvious one) I wanted to share.

> Imagine you're building a monitoring system that alerts very rarely, but reaction time is really critical for you. Do you really want to JIT compiler to optimize the alerting branch out because it hasn't seen any alerts yet?

Yes I do, because once the constraints are invalidated the the runtime system will instruct the JIT to recompile the code with the now uncommon branch [0].

Servo produced a very fast CSS rules matching engine now used in Firefox (see https://nolanlawson.com/2022/06/22/style-scoping-versus-shad...), and WebRender which underpins Gecko's rendering. That's not nothing.

About embedding Servo, I have some experience around that (https://github.com/fabricedesre/servonk/) and it's been easy to embed: you just need to provide a GL surface and hook up your input events into their event loop. Clearly there were not zero integration points, and a some other examples exist (like https://github.com/paulrouget/servoshell).

It is not that straightforward, but as general statements go, you are not wrong. The issue seems to be that the government lately ( via various distributed actors ) has recently deemed some entirely legal transactions unsavory, which then banks/processors and so on deemed as risky and then those unsavory yet not illegal transactions become defacto verbotten. I hate to say it, but it really is one of those 'the tighter you grip' situations. Case in point, one few years ago, most people did not know what SDN list or OFAC is. But now more and more customers, and not just business customers seem to be aware of how expansive BSA really can be.

That's the solution everyone wants "identify bad food and tax/ban it" - but when apple juice has as much or more calories than soda, what do you do? A per-calorie tax might work if you rebated it correctly, but the mechanics of that would be insane.

I always found the conspicuous absence of India from the mainstream Geopolitical discussions weird.

India has:

- Largest arable land in the world.[1]

- Multiple productive zones like Ganga, Kaveri, Godavari and other basins that can support multiple crops a year.

- A good demographic dividend, due to a young population and a stable democracy.

- Favourable weather. Monsoons are highly predictable and are timed well.

- A competent workforce. Due to the sheer size, India can manage to find the required quota of productive workers.

- Favourable location. It sits smack in the middle of Indian Ocean with all major trade routes passing through its doorsteps.

- Good diplomatic alliances, albeit it’ll be harder to maintain the tight rope balance in the coming decades.

India might not be the most lucky nation like the US, and has several major challenges in store but nevertheless it is an interesting player.

I'd like to use Julia for audio and image processing. The language and library support is well suited for my applications. However, the current state of the PackageManager is reason for Julia to be a non-starter for me. I looked at the linked release notes with hope that PackageManager improvements would be slated for 1.9. The startup time for standalone executables is unacceptably large and baffling given the computing efforts required to compile and package them. I reached for Julia to improve upon Python and the start up costs far exceed the available system time for gains. The mere existence of the acronym TTFP indicates that the Julia community has neither an appropriate frame of reference nor prioritization of developing Julia into a truly general programming language -- Julia remains far from production ready. Computing generality goes far beyond the habitual use of: input, analysis, plot. Swift and Rust ought to be benchmarks for executable startup. From my perspective, Julia runtimes ought to be able to be constructed and frozen in dynamic shared libraries such that startup can approach that of Swift and Rust. Julia developers perhaps can look to GraalVM for inspiration. A long wait for Julia 2.0, particularly if standalone executable compilation would be addressed, can not possibly help the adoption of Julia from my perspective.

What really bothers me is when someone copy and pastes something they've written in MS Word into their email and turning the email into HTML without even noticing. What's even worse is when people bump up the font size of the entire email body because they think since their email client has a small default font size it must be the same for everyone else, I've seen tech CTO's do this to, sometimes you wonder what the technical chops for a position like that really is.
The newer geneerations are aware of that but when it comes to social security they will actually have the upper hand: older people will need them. The precipitous drop in fertility rates happened in the '80s. Old people put a strain on the current youth, but in the future things will be more even. And btw , most countries will go through this bottleneck
My point was that a machine is always intended to make some useful work, and even as a sole developer of a private project, that project still has one enduser, the developer itself, since the existence of the project is to achieve meaningful computation one way or another, even if that computation is performed only in the test suite, hence the enduser as root. However, as a project organizer, sure, you want to strive for welcoming others, making it easy to embark, 1-cli command to setup, interesting to engage and persevere in development, and so forth.

As far as I understand this is downloaded data and they may offer model selection later on? If so they have little choice and putting your data in the user `/Library/Application Support` (or maybe `/Library/Caches` but that's a mess in itself) is what you're supposed to do.

With the various security changes in "recent" macOS, you can't modify your bundle and download files inside it, as it would change its signature and break the notarisation system.

Well, some do. Why would you forbid one of those groups to get what they want?

Which does nothing in practice. Any AML lawyer would have advised them so. The fact that the service was designed to be incompatible with the law isn’t a get-out-of-jail card.

It is? I may be cursed with a good memory but absolutely no "AI art" that my friends passed on to me looked original. In some cases it was painfully obvious what it's based on, in other cases it just felt like i've seen it before.

Legal it may be (although there will be conflicts about machine generated derivative works) but it's also boring.

People are just enthusiastic because it's "do it with a computer". If a young human artist came up with this stuff you'd tell them they're good technically but now they need to develop their own personality.
It seems it is possible to achieve that, but it may look different.

Since we still have to give text prompts to generate images, and these prompts need qualifiers (x subject “oil painting”) it seems possible that a prompt giver could generate images in a specific way to achieve their own unique style.

Difficult now since the tools are new and don’t have a ton of features, but down the road if the tools are built out more and prompts get more nuanced I could see “prompt givers” as “artists with their own unique style”

Of course no single person or single group bears all of the responsibility, I was leaning on the already established mask metaphor in this conversation.

But if you mean "all of us" as in all people in the world? No we are absolutely not all equally to blame for this. And it is true that, overall, in general, the ones who disproportionately caused this, and disproportionally benefitted from it, will also be disproportionally protected from its worst effects.

Focusing on the diffusion of blame or the weakness of the metaphor without acknowledging that dynamic is cowardly imo.
This would be an absolute dream, dealing with carriers has been hell since the beginning. I often do upgrade my phone, but it's been a huge hassle. Sometimes the promos don't work well and they basically wrap you into a contract anyways. I'm honestly just going to pay extra cash and upgrade directly through Apple even though the carrier offers a bigger credit.

If I could cut them out all together and buy an iPhone and cell service with Apple. Done.
Good point! During times when AC or heat is running a lot, there might be a bimodal distribution of reported temperatures. I wonder if they could use the ambient light sensor to determine if the person is inside or outside, or if they could use location data to figure out that 'this Apple Watch is in the middle of a large field, so he must be outside'. Then they could just ignore other data in that microclimate area, and create a weather mapping based on watches located in known open areas.
I think you're missing the point.

Reluctant managers don't do it because "wooo, no more managers - I'm free!"

Reluctant managers do it so that they can fix some of those things that everyone was complaining about before. They do it because they want people to stop suffering so much and they see ways to make that happen.

I don't think that could possibly describe a terrible manager.
I have a phd in mathematics and to me, ultimately, it's just a tool.

There's plenty of things that make me say 'oh, that's neat' but it's all mundane, never sacred.
Honestly, though, I wish more people had the self-awareness that you had. That's a good first step to becoming a good manager. I also wish more technically minded people would get into management. It's all systems, when you boil it down.

I would also ask that you not rule it out. Honestly, if managing relationships was the only part that you had a hard time with, you can learn that. Overcoming the stress and anxiety of managing conflict and confrontation is all about exposure to it.

My work life, in managing all of the (in my opinion) petty nonsense, helped my home life. It certainly prepared me for having open and honest conversations with my children about playground nonsense.

Euler is an important programming language, because it was one of the first programming languages which had pointers (in 1965).

Moreover, it was the first programming language where the implicit value of a pointer was the address contained by it and an explicit operator was used to access the pointed object (in the previous language with pointers, CPL, they behaved like the references of C++, i.e. their implicit value was the pointed object).

Unlike in C, where due to a design error the "*" indirection operator is a prefix operator, in Euler the indirection operator (which was a middle dot) was rightly a postfix operator (this was later inherited by Pascal).

Of course, Euler also had the "address of" operator ("@" in Euler, as a prefix operator), which is needed to assign values to pointers.
I'm quite surprised at how high the Democratic numbers are. This is not just a Republican problem.

A third of the country is willing to forego democracy in favor of a strong leader. They're willing to have politicians remove judges they don't agree with. They're willing to let politicians silence the press. A third of the country. Not just Republicans.

I don't have concrete data, but my impression is that the numbers were a lot lower in the past. And therefore I suspect that as a society, we are failing at transmitting our values to the next generation. And, I think, it's going to continue, because I don't see any groundswell of will to do so developing. So, hold on tight, the future's going to be quite a ride...
