Hm in Haskell I prefer single-header. I can just copy it into my repo and it Just Works. I guess Haskell does have really good C interop. Both the FFI and hsc2hs make for seamless interop. It even understands pkg-config - it doesn't embed anything in the compiler though. Just understands the ecosystem. It's to the point where I consider C a DSL you can use.

My biggest regret was not to take path less travelled and the risks that would probably put me on a tougher journey, but more satisfying process.

I dabbed into programming when I was 25 and thought I was late. I also killed my business pre-maturely going the safe route when first hardship occurred. I suppose fear got better of me.

I am incredibly grateful for where I am, but the monkey brain always wants more and asks what if...
> What everyone wants: Autogenerated type guards by class.

I’m quite sure people are asking for that, but I’m quite sure they’d regret wanting it if they got it. To the extent it’s desirable, it’s a thing that should be in TC39, not in TypeScript. The wailing and gnashing of teeth over when or whether or how type coercions happen is already mythical for the underlying language. Adding it to a compiler that’s increasingly not used to compile but only to type check is gonna add ten years of gripes about JS tooling nonsense to every single discussion.

They have considered this feature. Type guards are the solution and they’re a really good solution given the circumstances.
Language models aren’t even terrible at math. The Minerva paper provides a devastating counterexample. It will soon be replaced by more powerful linguistic-mathematical systems. Within the next twelve months we may well see 100% performance on all major benchmarks.

Government is a great example of why unions make sense. Exempt employees working in legislative or executive roles make peanuts and work their asses off. They may not get raises and sometimes get schnookered out of pensions.

Mainstream government workers make average/below average pay with premium benefits. In better states to work, your benefits are 40% of salary.

It's not about reasoning. Sure he could have better information but this isn't the point. It's all about WHY probability works. Why are these laws suddenly obeyed when there's a lack of information?

Do we assume it's fundamental? Or can the laws of probability be derived from deeper axioms, like logic.
People who are retired, and have absolutely no way to bounce back if the market is unkind, should absolutely invest in places that never lose money. I'm not talking about inflation. I can go out and buy actual guaranteed bonds that pay me an actual guaranteed positive interest rate. Yeah they don't keep up with inflation, but it only a small trickle in lost earning power at that point, not a loss of 1/5 of the number of years I can stay retired which the funds are delivering.

My savings account is not what I'm talking about. Inflation or not, it is still a number I can describe as "positive".

I'm referring to bonds that retirement and wealth management add to funds use to supposedly counter volatility. These are investments that at best will only pay single digits. They have suffered the worst year since 1931 or something. And we're just getting going. The frustrating part is as I said, the underlying bonds themselves still pay that 4% or so which would be much better than the funds are achieving. But for some reason they have to sell the bonds at a loss.

The conversation never mentioned “iOS” or phones and the submission is about Intel who has nothing to do with mobile or Android. He specifically said MacOS:

Doesn't this only work well if you can get an email address of a decision maker to contact? Otherwise, it seems like a lukewarm lead at best.

Also, it seems that the products and services a website uses tend to be sticky, at least far down the stack. So this lead-generation approach is really just about picking off technologies at the top of the stack, right?

As it is now, the lobbyists and special interests have control.

30,000 sounds like real representation, would make gerrymandering pointless, and the lobbyists would find it difficult to control even 1/5 of the 30,000. I support this bigger government! They can do zoom calls, meet regionally, or meet in a baseball stadium.

> The key takeaway for me was that the mid-2000s were the perfect time to be a founder of a software tool. I can’t help but feel that there are so many tens of thousands of similar stories without such a successful conclusion.

I think the takeaway should be that the mid-2000s to now was the perfect timing to succeed as a bootstrap if you were going to. In 2040, with the same survivor bias, people will probably say that 2022 was the perfect time to be the founder of a software tool.

Apple has 370+ stores across the country and 65,000 retail workers. Exactly one store is unionized. It’s safe to say that broad benefits decisions across the company aren’t being driven by this union.

I wouldn't see those as educational benefits. To me it means you are able to do online courses worth USD 400 in your private time.

I don't know the hourly salary of Apple employees, but let's assume for the sake of the argument it's 50 USD/hr after taxes. And let's assume a Coursera course costing 400 USD will require 20 hours to be completed.
If you do such a course during your private time you are giving Apple 12h (20 - 400/50) of your time for free for educating yourself for the company.

That being said, I personally value my free time outside of work 1.5x higher than work time. It helps me evaluating if something is worth my personal time. Means if the company offers to pay for training I am happy to do so during work time, and if I think the training can be beneficial for me in general I am also willing to contribute some PTO time in return as long as the partial (the time the company expects me to do outside work) costs of the course are bigher than 1.5x my hourly salary multiplied by the number of hours I need to spend on this.

I hope it's somehow clear what I am trying to say. Native German speaker here.
It's be a damned good time for someone to start building a competing Google Sync impl & server & passkey implementation into Chromium.

For a while this was largely built around XMPP but now the stock Google implementation is custom.

I'd love a refresher crash course on what's in Chrome that's not in Chromium. It's been a long time since I used Chromium but I think when I did it seemed to have a as-best-I-could-tell working Google Sync implementation.

It's hard to imagine a scarier project to fork. I dont think there's a lot of resources out there for DIY'iny a Chromium fork.
Yes. Multiple promising direct air carbon capture technologies exist. At scale, they will cost about $1 to recapture the C02 released by a gallon of gas.

None are at scale yet. There is a lot of hand wringing about the cost (negligible compared to annoying Putin or OPEC), and some moral arguments from the greens about how it is unethical to expect our kids to spend electricity to clean up our mess (even though the cost of electricity production is currently dropping faster than it has in our lifetimes).
If you believe in meritocracy then you would not join a union in the first place.

While I don't necessarily agree with most of this article, it's very good. It really just illustrates why so many people get jaded with tech.

I believe you can absolutely build your own well-documented framework and be successful, but ultimately some little sh*t is probably going to come in either say, "Why aren't we using React? Let's rewrite in React!" or "I don't like how this is done so I'm just going to redo it some other way I like in this one place." From here you have your camp of people who say, "Just don't let that happen!" and then your other camp of people who say, "I need to hire people, and nobody wants our custom stuff on their resume so let's just use TodaysFlavour.js so we can hire whoever and make the investors happy". And that's, like, two scenarios of many.

I guess all I'm saying is that it's really hard to find value from articles like this one when the surface area of the context is pretty much unimaginably wide.

I like frameworks and two of my professional anecdotes are: I once worked for a company with an absolutely horrid culture yet their codebase was rails done "the rails way (tm)" and it was great! I got my bearings immediately and pretty much had no questions about where anything was (which was good because I didn't want to talk to my coworkers... don't worry, I didn't stay there long). I also worked at a much better company where one or two people were hell-bent on coming up with their own ideas while everyone else mostly didn't care and just wanted to get the work done. This is well-and-good but these people had already decided a previous defined way of doing things was no good so they changed that, and when they leave, I can bet that whoever replaces them will decide that their well-documented way of doing things was no good. I wish people would just follow the framework unless it doesn't make sense to (which you only actually know after you've tried to do it the framework's way).

Well, I've written way too much already for a comment... But I'll add that I think the biggest thing this article misses is its points around "speed of development". Speed of development is always important in the beginning. Once the idea has been proven to work market fit, then the generators this article talks about are no longer important.

Anyway ya, Imma shut up now. Overall, good article. I'm going to read it again tomorrow as I'm sure I missed a lot.

Sure, but absent material supply constraints for production of PV and wind (of which none exist), supply will respond to that demand as it always has.

Using green hydrolyzed H2 for making steel makes more sense because our only alternative for steel is to use coal to produce it, which we know is terrible from a C02 emissions perspective.

Public sector workers tend to be professionals. So in a place like California, comparing them to an average is most likely a distortion.

If you compared an accountant, attorney, or IT employee working for California to a FAANG equivalent, the compensation would probably be in the 40-60th percentile.

I’ve seen a whole lot of stories like this at larger and larger companies. There was one like it about Facebook yesterday. They’re shorting their own stock [predictions] and adding employment insecurity to reinforce that. Big tech companies would love to benefit from a less competitive hiring landscape and the “recession?” narrative fits that well.

Too bad, and so sad, that they’ll be just as eager for talent when talent inevitably moves on and finds they’re happier where they landed when they were being used as stock price pawns.
> perhaps all of them (every single one) have not actually experienced writing an application without a framework

I actually have written software without a framework, so by this standard I feel qualified to comment.

Not all software has an implied framework within it. Most Unix command-line utilities do not, for example, with only a few exceptions, and discounting the C standard library as something worthy of the label “framework”. Nevertheless even they exist within an overall architecture that starts to look like one, if you squint, and realise the enormous power of piping stdout around.

However, many line-of-business applications do develop sufficient complexity, as the owner/operator adds new features to support their expanding operations, that the subsequent edifice either accretes random code into a horrifying fatberg of unmaintainability, or some wiser developer refactors substantial parts of the interface, business logic, persistence, and runtime configuration, effectively creating a framework within that application on which the logic and interface and so forth subsequently hang, and with a pinch of skill and luck, in a fashion that is more readily reasoned about and amended.

Whether that informally-specified framework might be considered worthy of extraction into a unit of software for itself is another matter, and largely a case of programmer hubris.

Professional ONLY means you take money for a good or service. There is no assumption to the quality of service or good.

The other term is "amateur". That is not related to profit or renumeration.

I'm not from the US so I may offer the viewpoint of an outsider

It seems pretty obvious to me that if you find that some US unions are rather bad, which is probably true because most of everything is bad, the right solution would be to strengthen the good ones. And if really there aren't any good ones, a good solution would be to organize to create better ones based on what has worked in the history of the labor movement united States. And based on what is working abroad, especial in more democratic societies like in Scandinavia

This is how it has always worked. No worker right we take for granted - and in the US you are missing some! - has ever been gifted to us. They happened because a small group of people decided to organize and do something about it.

Not saying that's easy, but the base principle is pretty simple and according to the research paper - and history in general - clearly worth it.

And to be transparent, if someone says to me that what I describe is impossible, i will listen to the arguments, but my baseline assumption would be that he spreads corporate propaganda, or worse, is victim of it.

I’m in favor of a state owned bank of last resort. Private banks can do whatever they want, but some secure way to store funds is a human right.
The implication is that additional perks will make other stores less likely to unionize. One store successfully unionizing is certainly enough to cause Apple to take such measures, they're likely trying to prevent a domino effect.
