This is true, but still has limits. Moving from Reaper to Ableton Live made music easier to make. But then there's the tendency to wonder if I made the wrong choice between the handful of comparable DAWs like FL Studio or BitWig. The fact that I'm absurdly productive in the one I picked can only do so much to stop that thought process that starts any time one of the others goes on sale.
You're mixing things up.

Nobody bought an iPhone or iPad because of Facebook. You could also install the Facebook app on that, but you could also use your notebook or your desktop pc or your cheap Android phone or whatnot to use Facebook. Most people already had some "Facebook ready" device at home.

Nobody will buy an Oculus headset if its main/sole use is the Metaverse.
How clever! Getting the introduction section really helped. Glad to check it out, highly recommended!
> upwards of 75% of the time I see better ways to do something. It's often small things, like making what's being build more configurable / hard coding less, abstracting differently so code is more reusable, naming things better, organising the code in a more logical way, etc. Other times I simply don't agree with the change because it adds complexity with little benefit.

Are there general rules about this that your colleagues can learn from (and are learning from), so that their PRs will improve over time?

And are these general rules documented somewhere in a coding standards document, so that less experienced developers can refer to it?

Or are the "better ways" you see of doing something different from case to case?

If you cannot write down general rules that can be put in an agreed-upon coding standards document, then it's possible you are not as good a developer as you think you are, and that you may not be good to work with either.

> You know those requests, "could we make this button green with larger text in this one specific place"? My answer to these requests are typically, no, because unless it's extremely important it's just adding complexity and making thins harder to maintain down the road.

Is your codebase so brittle that you can change the format of a button without "adding complexity and making things harder to maintain"? Or are you being a control freak about minor stuff?

I used to work for a company that had a few developers who were full of themselves, and nitpicked at every PR, often being given contradictory changes between PRs and even told that "I know it when I see it" when confronted about this. They were so obsessed with making code that was clean and easy to maintain, but the codebase was an insecure and inconsistent mess, and they painted themselves into corners that made bug fixes or refactoring difficult. It was a toxic place to work, with a significant turnover of developers.
Don't try to use open internet platforms for your political campaigns. I think "feedback" in that case is justified. People defended themselves against propaganda. The campaigns have ruined themselves.

I am not sure about mass killings. Some say that Facebook enabled a genocide in Myanmar, but I think that is a false hypothesis. It was used as a platform by conflicting parties, sure, but it wasn't the reason for the conflict.

Google has strong governmental ties right now, so opposing any of their messages regardless of content seems sensible. Without backlash it would just fortify the situation right now so it has to be costly for both Google and political parties. Google lost a lot of trust in recent years, sadly that is not true for their market influence. Perhaps they put out these message because government contracts require it, the user wouldn't know because that is not transparent.

I have no affiliation but want to second this.

If you want to keep your filesystem in sync across many devices Syncthing fully enables this.

It is a use case where you would expect a payed service would be easier or more reliable but with Syncthing it is the exact opposite. Just install it on your devices and select the folders you want to keep in sync ... done.

I had never had any problems with it something I cannot say about Dropbox which can be terribly slow, hogs my PC and resulted in lost files on some occasion.
My question was not answered. In that scenario you have access to the work both of them do, so it speaks for itself, and it is equivalent work done in equivalent time. Use or non-use of power tools is the only difference. Do you factor that in your judgement or you flip a coin when choosing an employee or supplier?

Sadly it took too much time, and lost momentum. C++ version

int squares1[4] = {0, 1, 4, 9}; // doing it by hand

std::array squares2 = [] {
std::array<int, 4> a;
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
a[i] = i * i;
return a;
} (); // doing it with CTF

Is as pretty? Not as much, but it does the job.
Not quality? What if an out of bounds access produces a noisy peak once per ten minutes of audio?
same. I have 5000 notes now - without even making conscious decision to use Apple Notes in the first place.

I also make a tool that takes one folder in my apple notes and publishes it as a site. So my site https://podviaznikov.com is basically served from the content of Apple Notes.
Imagine that it only had black box testing - you can verify the ins and outs, and don't care about the middle. The AI's responsible for the entire codebase for that particular API.

I don't believe this will scale to all software anytime soon, but the type of thing that junior engineers work on is vulnerable.

It produces neutrons and exploding atoms, so it has already turned out shit.
Printing worked great though, right?
The "to where" bit is really important when specifying the fs. If it includes at least one high-bandwidth high-storage high-uptime device (like a server), the requirements and capabilities change drastically compared to if it's composed of a bunch of battery-powered portable devices on limited data plans.
Did he tell you about how you shouldn't act suspicious when you walk into a convenience store lest the employees stalk you? Did he warn you that attempting to sell a house in this country will automatically result in a lower sale price from your own agent than if you were white? There are literally hundreds of these examples.
Questioning vs. Asking
> people work multiple in-person jobs all the time to survive.

but the difference here is the concurrency. In-person jobs require the person, so you cannot do two at the same time.

But a remote job, where the employer assumes you have their job at full attention, might be short-changed if you were to work two remote jobs at the same time. That is, of course, unless you work remote for two employers, in two different time zones (so basically the same as the two in-person jobs).

I've actually seen that one, but I don't think it's close to being ready yet.
This article points to the threat to Putin from both pro-war social media leaders and from those in power with their own militaries.

And shortly after this was published, security forces publicly (dramatically) arrested Wagner Group's social media guy, who would fit both criteria:

They will evolve step by step just like everything does.
Are there any safety considerations with regards to having the power supply and other innards exposed?
Or they’ll hit a wall short of their promises, like supersonic airplanes, nuclear, etc.
Isn’t it pretty clear that we evolved from other life on Earth? This sounds clearly counterfactual like Larry Niven’s Known Space where we are descended from the Pak living near the galactic core.
Oh, so that's why we have millions of blog articles about how to scale software and software organizations?

Because software used by 10k people needs as many features and infrastructure care and investment as one used by 3 billion people?
They did ban such videos and now people take videos like this seriously. Don't be so naive. This is a PR message, nothing else.

The whole banning spree did more damage to vaccine acceptance than flat earther and lizard people together. It isn't even comparable. Because of course they ended up censoring legitimate criticism and scientific data. That was inevitable, no matter how well intended.

Now they made themselves unreliable because someone on the internet was crazy.
C++ has been trying to get compile time introspection and synthesis into the language for a while. There is a proposal going slowly through standardization, but it is not yet know when it will be ready (I believe it missed 2 or more release trains already).

Circle, mentioned elsewhere, is a C++ dialect with fully working compile time metaprogramming.
Will west escalate to interdicting Indian and Chinese flagged vessels used to circumvent embargo to bring home even more discounted fuel and food? Because ultimately that's what directly harms the food and energy security of these two other nuclear powers. At the end of the day RU isn't the one disrupting their bilateral trade with "friendly" partners. The real question is how will west make it worthwhile not to trade with RU, and so far it's been mostly sticks instead of carrots which is unlikely to work when it comes to fertilizer and fuel.
Sure, but almost nobody uses Facebook on their PCs anymore. Most Meta's users and revenues come from smartphones, which have an ecosystem controlled by Apple or Google.

Zuck is betting that more people will use VR in the future, and if you believe that hypothesis then it makes sense to invest infinite money in making sure your company becomes the Apple of VR instead of the Nokia.

How wisely that infinite VR money is being spent is another matter.
That’s not true one won’t be negatively affected. If somebody is being given an opportunity because of their skin color, that means another person is having an opportunity taken away or delayed. That’s just how quotas work.

It’s frustrating to see, especially when somebody is discriminated against for e.g. being white, but fills “other” URM boxes that aren’t visible such as sexuality or gender identity. A well-off cis-het person with worse qualifications will be given higher priority at resume review stage than a destitute queer person just because they have the ethnicity the company is looking for.

I think techies tend to overestimate their experience outside of their immediate area to a degree that I would describe as arrogant. As a person who adopted the tech sphere, as his community, it is extremely sad to start to notice this.

Techies tend to be good at tangible, measurable, immediate facts.
Not so much when it comes to any social situations, let alone bigger concepts like social evolution of trends and their impacts. Hence you get sorry attempts at apologies from big name tech bros for terrible influences on society.

Swiss post has a similar thing, you can buy a stamp (on the form of a 9-letter code) via SMS. Never used but seems it works. No barcodes for regular stamps for now, but datamatrix barcodes are used since more than 15 years for bulk mail and print-at-home stamps.
firmware = simple, but not simpler than required to do a good enough job, hardware programming interface on complex chips.

You need software jingle room to fix things on complex chips, which is very true for SOC and GPU and now CPU, hence one of the main reasons for firwmare to be. But going beyond that sole purpose of presenting a hardware programming interface is a slippy slop, for instance the CPU user digital jails.

Many simpler chips can expose a hardware programming interface which does not require a firmware though.

I have not read on what is the nvidia hardware programming interface is since now we have open source code, but rumors say it is orders of magnitude simpler than for AMD GPUs (which is still kind of a mess).

I see a similar thing with people complaining about other people taking pictures of things. They assert that you won't remember anything if you spend your time behind a lens because that's how their memory works. I won't remember much/anything if I don't take pictures. I get new phones with a focus on the camera because photos are a big part of how I navigate my memories. Same with taking notes: if I don't write it down, it's gone. It comes back quick with as much force as a fresh memory upon review of the photo/note.
I have a Kepler laptop gpu using nouveau and the 2d experience is great. Even after reclocking it’s only just as performant as my haswell i7 iGPU with worse OpenGL support. That being said all I play is Minecraft and Stardew so it doesn’t bother me much.

I will be happier in the future getting better support. Either that or getting a newer laptop!

The thing I don't get is... how are "self driving" cars better than public transport?

The two advantages I see is that you have a private space. And that they are point-to-point.

Those are important advantages. As, I suppose, is the fringe benefit of finding work for mathematicians.

But it seems to me you could do "self-driving" a lot cheaper and easier by improving the commons. Embedding sensors in the roads, street signs, and furniture - isn't that going to make more sense than turning ever vehicle into a super-computer?

Even after all that... buses and trams and light rail work absurdly well, at a fraction of the cost.
What development are you doing where there's a notable difference between an M1 Mac and a "workstation class machine?"

I have lane assist and drive assist in my new car and I really do love it for highway driving, it's pretty suttle overall but very useful.

Feels like a solid backup and less of self driving but I am enjoying it as a user.

It will follow the bends hands free and keep you centered but doesn't intrude the way lane assist does by itself.

Idea: Suggester of Dating Ideas for Couples
Hi there!

I am starting my side hustle and came up with the idea of creating an app that would suggest ideas for dating with your partner. I've always faced that problem and feel like it's something I could try to solve.

Currently starting to build the app and at the same time checking the feasibility of the idea and would be happy to hear your opinions on that.

Have you ever faced the same problem? If so, what would you like to have in the app that solves it?

Do you assume scarcity of resources is required for there to be a scarcity of products and especially services? You may still want to have someone cook you dinner without there being a scarcity of food. There is still art and stuff, live performances you may want to see.

Probably if you filter by raw IQ (either yours or others definition) you would get a lot of imaginative people as most intellectual faculties are positively correlated with each others.

On the other hand if it turns out that you are actually filtering by "willingness to take years of testing" then you might get different results
