Should we ignore the fact that so many people watch his videos that it's impossible to ignore the number? I agree that his videos are basically a polished version of "give a homeless guy money to do something cruel". People watch them to see what people do for money. There s nothing beautiful in that, but it's a curiosity and it grabs attention. If it wasnt through ads, someone else would be funding it, i dont think that being ad-supported changes the dynamic of his audience.
Yeah the voice changer is crazy. Like the work and sometimes I peak the stream. Wish I could watch it with sound but it's unbearable after a couple of minutes.

Maybe it's about "can get" vs "should be allowed to get"? They can carry whatever so it's technically true, right?
I feel like good work culture isn't board games at lunch.

couple jobs ago we had multiple playstation 3s, foosball, even board games; frequently there was team lunches paid for by the boss. I can 100% tell you, literally nobody on earth would consider this place good work culture.

You know how often you got to actually play with those? Never. You were too busy writing reports, writing statements of work, writing detailed thorough notes so anyone regardless of skill could follow the procedures. If your procedure wasn't perfect, you will take all the blame for someone else's actions.

In the root cause analysis and followup meeting you will have to justify your mistakes and you will be criticized greatly for having made them. Your desk will then get moved to a vacant part of the building to help avoid distractions. Your coworkers will get encouraged to turn on you or for that matter encouraged to call out your mistakes so issues are resolved quickly. Though that tends to end up in sabotage, audit logs literally proved that one.

When things go well though... you don't get any credit. It wasn't you who did the work. You do get a reward though, MORE WORK! 60+ hour weeks just to keep your head from melting down. Constantly under threat that if you don't work that much you'll be fired.

Long story short, I think good work culture isn't some token game playing or free lunches. It has far more to do with not being micromanaged, being treated with respect, being given the pats on the back you deserve. All these things can be done remotely.
Well true, public keys would be better wording wise.

One thing I just wanted to append to this here:

> Not necessarily in real-time, but at least on a frequent periodic basis.

Periodically fetching the keys is not really a best practice on its own. The consumer (RP) must be able to handle newly published keys at runtime. Since a JWT includes a KID it is recommended to lookup a local cache pre-filled from a scheduler while fetching new KIDs on demand.
To make it fast I think we'll need custom silicon. I wonder how many stealth startups exist working on FHE chips?
> use a word like "scam" in chat casually is 100% going to get auto-flagged and reviewed by compliance and/or your boss

"Congratulations" on typed chat, phone call to boss within 3 minutes, and required a written report to senior senior management. There was unironic suggestions of doctors notes when the reason for the congratulations was their wife had just had their first kid.

> places stopped giving out work devices but make you download all the work apps

Havent come across this before, work issued device only, all calls and messages were recorded and preserved for 7 years. Installing any chat apps on the phone; sackable offence. Giving your personal phone number in any business context; sackable offence. Making a work related call from anything other than your mobile phone / recorded office line; sackable offence.

> they operate almost entirely in the in-person verbal realm

Inevitable really - and if you wanted any actual response from management, stick your head in their office and ask. If it goes tits up, you are on your own though as inevitably they "dont recall" that conversation.

I can highly reccomend - The Lowball Tapes - The secret tapes the authorities, on both sides of the Atlantic, wouldn’t want you to hear, that could upend the official version of the biggest scandal since the financial crash. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0014x77
To your point, I started writing my POJOs without getters/setters. It felt like I was doing something wrong and the ghosts of senior devs I have worked with were looking down at me with shame.... "how could you".

The worst part is that some libraries use getters as convention. e.g. Jackson (by default) uses getter methods to decide what to serialize.
The centrist mindset is just "Russia is bad. This was a bad thing. Therefore Russia must have done it." That's as deep as it goes.
I struggled to find decent espresso in Paris and went for a walk, bypassing anywhere that has a full automatic machine. I found a cafe with a nice looking machine and went in and ordered.

They grabbed me the next coffee off the line of pre-made Nespressos that were sitting in a bench out back.
I’m currently travelling so I can’t remember exactly what it’s called, but there is a setting on the stock firmware for this (at least there is on my C1). I think it’s called “device recognition” or something like that.

Basically it will stop it auto-switching the “device mode” for a source; I use it to keep one input permanently on game mode.
Ah, that explains why so many of the financial firms want people back in the office so badly :-)
Ah, good to know! Thanks!

Depends on what do you mean by "person running the code"

If by person you mean the admin of the machine, then yes.
If by person you mean the developer of the FHE-based application, then "maybe"
If by person you mean the analyst who would in the end order an AI python model to be executed through the FHE-based software on a machine. Then no, that person will in the end get back human-readable results. Be that a model, or a table from an SQL DB running in FHE
On a higher level, the trend a couple of years ago to have big video banners & highly complex interactive websites with lots of moving content does seem to have turned a bit. You still see it a bit from these more designerly 'award-winning' websites that start up with a loading bar...

But now tools such as Google Lighthouse and Next.js logging first load file sizes makes it quite tangible to focus the team on and advocate for faster first meaningful content paints.
The premise of the article is that you can take any existing stereo music and convert it to 3D "magic" space using AI because it is not economically possible to do it manually, no body is going to re-mix millions of tracks for 3D.

My point is that no "magic" AI is gonna work on electronic music because it simply is not natural sound you can target algorithmically and produce something that makes "sense"
A false flag attack, in other words.

Yes, Putin has done those before. So have others. But it has never before happened that 10 billion euro infrastructure, which was used explicitly as leverage (Putin said he would turn on the gas as soon as Germany asked for it, and some Germans were protesting in the street, demanding exactly that), was sacrificed as part of a false flag attack. You're not only talking 4d chess here, you're talking a queen sacrifice in 4d chess.

I watched this a few years ago, and it reminded me that sometimes we try to solve problems that someone else tried to solve before us. Maybe they solved it better, maybe not. But, there is a lot to learn.

The definition of default is to not be able to make loan payments. It's something the US has never done, and isn't considered likely to do in the forseeable future. The largest risk the US has in this regard is political; politicians occasionally use the routinely-raised statutory debt ceiling as a game of chicken.

> How you think the debt load might shrink without the US defaulting.

It won't, and it doesn't have to. We pay off a trillion on-time, we borrow another. As long as we make payments as required, no one gives a shit.

> And why will the US not just default...

Because then we stop being able to borrow when we want to, like Argentina.

> What do you think the difference is between borrowing a large amount, returning a small amount and claiming it isn't a default?

We borrow a large amount, and return a small amount lots of times, paying down both some principal and a little interest. Again, just like a mortgage.
Haven't played with them for a couple of years but can remember my "sweet spot" was when it sounded like the sound is coming from the center of my brain, not from from a left or right ear, not from the environment. It's a weird physical feeling, almost the same feeling I get from a small dose of psilocybin. Head feels slightly heavier too, esp near the backside. Eventually I stopped playing with binaural beats because I felt it does affect my brain in some way but I didn't know if it was good or bad, but my instinct at the time told me to stop.

What I want to see from a Learn To Code tutorial as a non-techie
My own faults aside, what I dislike about every "Learn to code" website is that they always show you the tools but never show you how to put them together.

Examples: "Oh this is HTML now build a website!" Bullshit. I want you to show me a full-fledged yet minimalist website, with a "front end" and a "back end" and "databases" and "plugins" yada yada that shows how everything works together - THEN I will know how to build a website.

Python: show me a full fledged yet minimalist program that shows every aspect of python and how they work together THEN I will know how to build something

All these tutorials show you the tools then expect you to build a house on your own

I would pay a lot if something could actually teach me.

Yep, I do it with https://ossia.io (https://ossia.io/score-web) to make the occasional demo ; it's pretty alpha and drag'n'drop still seems to kill it but every Qt release has made it better without me having to do anything.. looking forward to updating!
I have a significant C++20 app on zephyr (an RTOS), and it compiles to 65k on zephyr on an ARM board, and, with stripped/lto/etc to about 300k on ARM desktop (debug binaries are much larger, so it's not that). The only difference in code between the two (impressively for zephyr, IMHO) is some small GPIO/device abstractions to account for zephyr vs linux[1]. None of those take up any meaningful amount of code.

It all compiles nearly instantly.
So you can have large apps that work fine in that space and time.

I haven't debugged the differences in compile options, etc. I suspect it is related to constant data handling differences (they both have the same RTTI, exceptions settings. They both use the same GCC version). But IMHO there can be very wide variation in the size of literally the same code.

In the case of arduino, they don't provide you anything that could be used to flamegraph it, but i suspect it's just recompiling a significant part of mbed each time or something.

The non-Mbed based ones are faster to compile for sure.

[1] The one thing Zephyr does not yet support is std::thread/std::mutex, but it's really easy to make it work in your app because the build system functions properly, so i did and sent them patches as an example. They are working on proper support in the toolchain. Just need to rebuild it with some different config flags and twiddle a few files. MBed fully supports std::thread/etc if i remember right.

Is there a tutorial of how to make a desktop GUI app using only QML/Quick/whatever, without C++ or Python? I want to build a desktop app and will gladly offload the work logic to a separate app to be invoked in background via CLI.
Thanks, I stand corrected as Beast Philanthropy is a 501(c)3 charity.

I don’t see it on CharityNavigator.org so not sure how it’s audited and how effective it is but at least he seems to have filed the proper paperwork.
Interesting that your comment got some emotional responses. Do people identify with MrBeast as a person? I mean he s good at what he does but he s a cruel executionist, not relatable at all after he leaves the office. He 's entertaining, or else he would be as sleazy as the other person in that video.
JS ecosystem is really a joke, you need to put too much work on configuring, maintaining the tooling, just to write a "modern" JS project you need to setup a bundler, linter, test, etc. I think Vite with Vitest is going in the right direction, so you have just one tool, not a lot of tools, just check how hard is to test your code with jest (maybe there's a better library, it was at least from my knowledge widely used), you need to configure almost a separate building pipeline so your code can use ESM and typescript, or you also need to install ts-jest.

Deno also has an interesting approach (you have all the tooling officially shipped like Rust does), but sadly most of the official libraries will not work or does not work with it (maybe I'm wrong and there's a work about), but also I think that not having a manifest with your dependencies makes all harder (will import maps be a thing soon enough? is up to the task?).

Also there is rome.tools, but seems far from being usable yet, besides the formatter.
Don't underestimate people's reluctance to learn new stacks.
I agree! That's why remote attestation or simply verifiability is such an important feature of these schemes. Semantic attestation ofc means having access to the source code and that IMO makes open source the natural choice. Audits might be an option where OSS is not desired for other reasons (likely business related).
Not an expert on FHE, but confidential computing provides that attestation feature and it's just a matter of the software to make use of it.
My money is on a faction of the Russian military either attempting to sabotage Putin or alternately attempting to block off potential routes to negotiation to force a confrontation. Both are plausible.

US intelligence works closely with the UK and Germany. If it was the US it was with Germany's knowledge and approval.

That also applies to me. I would welcome it if the title were changed.
This is still too long. I think C# already supports top-level execution (eg, your program is assumed to be main() as do almost all other languages). `println` is also a bad name for something that could just be `log` or `print`.

You're conflating an IT Technician and a Sysadmin.

Sysadmins automate their work. Operations Engineer is just another title for sysadmin.

Systems Engineer is also another title for the same thing.

Platform Engineering (depending on where you are) is yet another variation.

If you're responsible for the operating system, monitoring, clustering, hardware etc; then you're firmly in "sysadmin" land.
Because instead of your eye naturally flowing down the text you get a sentence or two and then have to jump down to find the next sentence or two which while remembering the context. They aren’t contiguous at all.

Also because of the constraints of tweet length the sentences are chopped short rather than being whatever their “natural” length, short or long, would be.

The point of writing as the GP suggested is to minimize the friction between written text and comprehension/reasoning. Twitter is designed exactly against that, so the result is a bunch of slogans or tiny sound bites.
The difference being that in those cases both parties know you're lowballing. Which this bill introduces in this market too.
I am always surprised by this: I live in the UK, our roads are narrow and winding because they are basically medieval (or Roman even) tracks that have been gradually upgraded. It sort or makes sense to me that cycling here is dangerous. But in my experience US roads are very large with many lanes and lanes much wider than cars. It feels like it should be easy to (a) avoid other road uses and (b) take some space to give them dedicated spaces.

No, it's about what is practical and productive and habitual for a specific person. I hate large screen setups and I love drafting emails on the go and your opinion that it is somehow less healthy than doing that while stationary indoors (probably sitting, too) is just that, your opinion.

By that measure, looking at any screen or reading strains your eyes but I don't think you'll be switching exclusively to voice control programming and audiobooks any time soon because oh right this is not habitual or productive for you. (And if you do, now it strains your ears... I guess life itself is unhealthy, after all it's known to cause death.)

And no, it does not mean it causes nearsightedness. This is grandma's tale. Plenty of people have 100% vision while spending inordinate amounts of time in front of screens. Research points out this is more about spending too much time indoors, no matter screen size get enough sunlight on your retina especially as child.

I can only imagine how much nicer would it be to do the things I often do on the go (messaging, issue management), possibly more (programming), with proper physical keyboard. Swipe typing is just not helping much.

What's wrong with neovim?
It's actually a pretty terrible explanation.

They claim that English "Japan" came from Italian "Gaipan" due to "Gi" sounding like "J", apparently failing to realize that they misspelled "Giapan" twice, don't make the connection to the "Cipan" in Marco Polo's "Cipangu", imply that Italians traded with Japan despite Portuguese and later Dutch traders monopolizing most of the trade, and most importantly don't even mention the Middle Chinese pronunciation /ȵiɪt̚ puən/ of 日本, which gave rise to both "Nippon" and "Japan" due to different sound changes affecting ȵ differenty in Japan and China.

Wiktionary' etymological explanation is much better: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Japan#Etymology

I think the better use case for having Qt in the browser is if a web app could benefit from sharing code with a mobile or desktop Qt project. Other than that, yeah, I'm not sure why anyone would use Qt for web apps besides preference.
I'm currently experimenting with a low caffeine (no coffee, mostly green/herbal tea) lifestyle after having the stomach flu (no coffee for a week) and thinking it was the perfect time to give it a shot.

My god, I've never been more clear-headed in my life. My working memory seems greatly improved. I'm able to work out complex problems in my head that previously I would struggle to keep my "mental eye" on. Moreover, I'm much less anxious in general and generally much happier.

I think I'm ADHD/anxiety-prone and I think that, while coffee for some with ADHD really helps, the increased anxiety made it difficult for "long, slow" mental processing to occur in my head.

A confounding factor is that I've also recently introduced a green powder in my diet, but the effect of no-coffee has been much more immediate.

I love coffee and never thought I'd be able give it up, but I don't even miss it now...

> Has building a webpage never been easier or never been harder for a newcomer?

Interestingly, both.

It’s very easy to make a basic website that more or less works.

It’s very hard to make a website that does anything well.

Mistakes that people make on very basic, static websites:

- Images not optimized, so page speeds are very slow. Bad for Google rankings (incl. Google Business Profile / Google My Business). Sometimes these images break the design, and this can look very unprofessional.

- Responsive design is either non-existent or super janky.

- Content is not presented with a focus on how the users will most likely want to interact with the available information. This includes simple things like phone number, address, and/or hours near the top of the page for B&M businesses. It also includes more complex things like clear page/site organization and navigation.

Many people who make these sites know that they are bad, but they aren’t willing to pay the thousands it would take (at least in the US) to get someone to do a simple 5-page brochure site right (assuming that they don’t get scammed).

The gap between easy-to-make junk and tougher-to-make jewels is currently quite large both in terms of skill required as well as potential cost.
The largest I have is currently is ~20,000 or so, and the weight is in well in line (~450g) and capacity seems to match well with what it's meant to be. One of the 30,000 mAh ones that shows up for me on Amazon even has a picture of it on scales with a big "Note: Bulky and a bit heavy" and showing a weight of 659g for the pack compared to 61.2g for the 4000mAh cells shown on the site you link. I don't doubt there are fakes out there, but so far I've not run into any.

But that's besides the point, really which is that you if it works for you - and it sounds like it doesn't for you (but it does for me) - then battery backs solves the capacity issue. Obviously if you can't or won't use battery packs then it won't.

For me battery packs is very much preferable to having the device itself be bigger and heavier, because it means I can adjust the bulk I carry with me depending on where I'm going.
Accelerating web standards are not why Dreamweaver fell out of favor. Adobe could have accelerated Dreamweaver to keep up, but it didn’t. They abandoned it and it fell behind.

Same with Fireworks, which did what Figma does in a more basic and client-side way. Again: Adobe let it fall behind the marketplace and that is why it failed.

Flash, ironically, did advance and is used today in professional animation. Bojack Horseman (for example) was animated in Flash.
