The commenter you're replying to can chime in here for an accurate response- but I assume what he's referring to is that a company usually assigns you a fresh, internal GH account. My past three jobs have all done this, which makes it even harder to demonstrate the work I've been doing to employers... Especially when after leaving a company my GH profile is terminated.
My company turned their office where every engineer had their own room in an open-space dance floor. 60% of the engineer team became remote after that. But HR and Marketing loved this change.
Its a scary concept - internet and books being nothing but generated content is going to be a sad world.
Maybe I dont understand, but if you have to be there virtually, why not just be there in person on a video meeting
I second this. That's what mime-type headers are for. The URL should locate a resource, as the name suggests, not necessarily convey metadata about what the resource is.
Who’s Keith Hoskins? Goodhart’s Law was made by Charles Goodhart :-)
Agreed. I built https://sitepress.cc/ that uses git + files to manage content in Rails, but it needs an editor.

I’m not sure if the right thing to do is build a web editor or smooth out git workflows so that non-technical people can open content files with desktop software to make changes to the content.
Vim can edit files over SSH.

Invoke your local editor and edit the remote file. Additional benefits: no lag or delay in your buffer and editor, and you can save locally should the remote session crash.

(This presumes a direct SSH connection, e.g., no bastion host, though that can be addressed via tunnelled connections.)
Old school is an office with a door or someone's garage.

It got published about 30 minutes ago. And has gotten a lot of likes early on, pushing it up.
Nobody will use this nonsense. At this point we need to just let this guy burn his billions and disappear.
I don't know how I stumbled upon them, but I am glad to have gone through his audiobooks Mythos, Heroes, and Troy. Absolute treat to listen to the stories and the narration is just perfect.
You're directly depending on platform-specific stuff the moment you look up the user directory, because it's not $HOME on Windows either.

There is a difference between being cross-platform, and being Linux but mangling it so it technically works on other platforms.
Hey, so this article is 12 years old. VSC didn't exist yet (2015).

I used vim because it was installed by default on just about every modern Linux server, so as an admin it was much simpler to just use vi (less easy to fat-finger a config file due to the modal).

But I wasn't porting my personal config around 100's of Linux servers, unless when absolutely necessary [not every admin wants the same config].

As far as having a huge ecosystem with vi - has anyone actually done a comparison of number of 'things' that make up an ecosystem and active users between VSC, emacs, vi?

I know reddit isn't a good sample size, but looking at subbed users:

- vscode 95k
- vi 151k
- emacs 62k

I'm not doubting that vi would have the larger community, but I'd have expected emacs to be larger than vscode on reddit but it is not.
Nothing is stopping me and indeed that is usually what I do. But there is a difference between “getting up early and going to work” and just getting up early to sit at your desk or go to the gym. You miss the rhythm of the working world, of early morning delivery drivers and quiet city streets.
I hate Jira as much as the next guy, but I think you are confusing what you hate about some type of company with what you think the reasons are for 'terrible software engineering'. The coffee at my office is very bad though, so maybe you want to apply there.
Then you might run into the problem that chess has right now: if you happen to write in a style a GPT-3 trained model would write you will be declared a fraud. You might argue, who writes in a style of said model? Obviously: The corpus of data that trained the model. If you are one of them part of your writing ends up in there.
Maybe writing styles are transformed to be more in line with GPT-3 trained models, lets face it. AI writes good prose and people will read more and more generated content and thus adept the style.
No major company completely overhauls their tech stack overnight. I originally stated that they're transitioning away from Ruby so I don't think that's overstated, they are. Just like Twitter, LinkedIn, Soundcloud, Grab, Parse, Twitch, and Deliveroo have done before them, it's not unique.

It's 20 years ahead of Perl, but same fate. It doesn't have a niche besides web w/ Rails, which javascript/typescript is now dominating. It's the slowest and has the most well-known scale problems. The dev ecosystem is almost unanimously moving towards static types, a la Typescript and MyPy. It's symbols are not as transferable like more popular C-based langs: Javascript, Java, Python, Go. The only point devs will routinely point to in favor of it is "well, it just feels fun and nice to work with", while actually StackOverflow survey data shows Rust, Typescript, Python all leagues ahead in "loved", while Ruby is in majority dissatisfaction land right next to the monstrosities of C++ and Scala.
Apple has (re)enabled the downloading of remote content in the Apple Mail apps, as part of their recent "Protect Mail Activity" feature. Since then I received more spam mail. I have now disabled this feature, and reenabled "Block All Remote Content" again, resulting in less spam after a while.

I think there’s a good chance it was ghost written by a content farm for someone who wanted to publish a book in a popular category to make a quick buck. I recently learned that this is a soft-scam technique advocated for by a couple of guys called the Mikkelson Twins. They say you can make money by publishing audiobooks on audible by finding a popular topic on audible, then hiring a ghost writing service to write your book, then hire a voice actor to record it, publish it on audible, and then you too can become fabulously wealthy as the Mikkelson Twins claim to be. Except what the Mikkelson Twins actually make money on is selling you on a “money making course” where they tell you to do the above. So there’s all kinds of people trying to follow this method out there, it seems.

This excellent video [1] from Dan Olson at Folding Ideas is in my opinion a fascinating deep dive in to this whole scam. I don’t want to spoil everything in the video, but Dan does an exceptional job exploring how this ghost writing works, and why it produces the kind of nonsense writing that looks like GPT-3 but is actually being done by an overworked human who is trying to write an entire novel in three weeks or so on a topic they haven’t had time to properly research.

No.[1] Also their name "Matt Martin" is suspiciously generic, making it hard to search for other than the direct link given in the article to the Amazon listing.

Or maybe people will start paying attention to references and provenance, and start looking into sources of information - maybe even more widespread use of cryptographic signatures. Misinformation has always been out there, and so there are tools to deal with it. Perhaps now is our chance to make these tools wide spread.
Wow! Fantastic article. With AI generated stuff I expect we are going to see 99% of the book market saturated with generated nonsense, then collapse as a market for lemons.
With stablization, the rent can be set to market rate when you rent to a tenant. Afterwards, the rent increases are controlled. The increases are based on inflation and consumer pricing.

Rent control is where both the initial rent price, and the increases are controlled.

We're in a technical forum, so it's reasonable to actually differentiate terms we're discussing.
Begging for those interactions makes 15 seconds of every video telling me to smash that like, subscribe, bell, comment, share, rewatch 10x for good luck.

Should we limit the # of likes/stars one gets per period of time? Scarcity?
> Value the first minutes of your night sleep just as much as the last ones and just go to bed a little earlier.

What a weird suggestion. That person clearly prefers nighttime to morning time. Why would they trade being awake in the night for being awake at morning?
I'm aware, but it's not BP rewrite. It's a workaround for not having BP rewrite. It's a fine workaround for not having BP rewrite. Enough such workarounds can make BP rewrite unnecessary -- that is what was expressed in that talk, but it's not that vdev evac == BP rewrite or that vdev evac == a bit of BP rewrite.

BP rewrite is still needed for defragmentation, and for other reasons too (like if you wanted to change the configuration of a zpool to have more mirrors or stripes, or if you wanted to change compression algorithms, etc).

(A proper CAS would not be able to handle things like compression algorithms, unfortunately, not unless the filesystem hashed the decompressed block rather than the compressed block, but that has security issues if you don't trust the storage, so it's not ideal. Of course, if you don't trust the storage then you need to be signing/MACing Merkle hash tree roots, but that's another story.)
Another option would be a Lattice ECP5 based DC-SCM board which would work with the open source Yosys/nextpnr. The system clock for Microwatt only reaches around 70MHz on ECP5 vs 100MHz on the Artix.

Translation tools are solid and stuff like Duolingo are pretty good for basics, and people usually appreciate others making an effort with their language. Not easy for sure, but if you're determined to improve your relationship with your neighbours it might be good to consider (I find it has an outsized impact in terms of being well socialized, a warmer atmosphere sometimes really makes a difference)

It's easy to poke holes in peoples reasons why they can't do xyz, I'm still struggling and eating shit with this as an expat after some years. It's hard, but if that's your challenge and you can convince yourself it's an option, I think it's probably an option.
Best of luck to you, man.
Are you the same gzero who was featured in the Snowden leaks?

If so, long time no see. Hope all is well.
>its significance is dramatically overemphasized and mostly serves as a covenient excuse for people to not get their act together.

Ahh yes, the nation-state funded military-fake-book complex, destabilizing nations the world over. We really need to watch out for nation-states using incoherent technobabble!
The shell profile is a fundamental part of using a Linux computer. It affects how every single program is launched. This is not the same as a utility program's config file.
in some areas people are doing exactly like that. I know some teachers, doing exactly like that. Back to the 90s. No whatsapp, no mobile, just a phone to be called from 8-15h. Parents cannot call the teacher at 19:30 to talk about little Hans that got a 3 in science, and no whatsapp at 3 AM from the school director saying that a teacher is in sick call and somebody have to jump in.
He could have just created a second account to farm it by himself.
Yeah, I currently have a project on github with 665 stars, and I am anxiously awaiting the moment it receives 666 stars.
Popular and good are only loosely related.

I'm reading Mythos right now (in German translation) and… it's tedious. Hundreds of minor God's names within a dozen pages, all the time Fry refers back to some God, nymph or story he told several dozen pages ago, but where exactly?

There is no index at all! Why on earth would the publisher leave that out?

My partner is reading Heroes, and says it's much more like a novel, with a contiguous narrative structure. Maybe I should just skip forward to that one.
that's not the main topic from the article, but people with their f*ck off attitude. In your case is pretty much understandable.
What actually surprises me is that the author bought 11 paper books from Amazon about NFTs. You really need 11 books to understand or write about a single concept? It is a highly controversial ongoing topic. Those 11 books most likely become obsolete exactly on the day after they were written.

Good catch on the one fake book! But I am surprised it was only one. Maybe the author started from that one and will write about the others later.
A literal dance floor or an open-floorplan office?
Off topic: Why is everything posted here all of a sudden begging for my email? It feels like every article I click after reading few sentences I get a box begging to sign up for some stupid ass mailing list as if after spending 10 seconds reading their words I had become a fan and absolutely needed more of their bullshit in my life.

If I am interested in hearing more about you, I will find a way to subscribe to your shit otherwise all you manage to do is to get me frustrated and leave.

This time I couldn't even get to reading, I opened the article and had to answer an IM. By the time I got back I was treated with full screen "Type your email to subscribe" box that couldn't even be dismissed without clicking small "Let me read first" link.

Why is simple blog design such ass these days? Why can't I just read the content without being bombarded with pop ups, pop overs, and other crap that has nothing to do with the actual content?
I don't think it's that scary. I mean it's basically spam isn't it? The only thing new is the volume in which you can produce surface-level-indistinguishable spam.

It is now cheaper to produce lots of flowery, meaningless text that is full of definitions. I suspect that the future of literature is more concise and externally-meaningful writing.

Amazon is a terrible marketplace insofar as the rating system isn't sybil proof. this crap slips through the cracks.
Another problem with this was that some software was just broken. For some reason, some devs explicitly set the text color of labels in their software to black instead of the system default color, but left everything else—including the background—to use the system's color. So you end up with black on black for your dark theme.
I wonder if a company like rsync.net would fund work to make that "zfs send and swap" thing automatic and transparent. Or to fund a ZZFS. If for you the defragmentation need is critical... Not that I'm offering to do any of that work, mind you, but I am curious how much it would cost, and whether it'd be worth anyone's while.
I've always thought it had something to do with the cyclic nature of my daily routine. At 7am I am preparing for a day of getting ready and working and cooking and driving and cleaning, so having to be fresh and ready for a meeting is another thing to do.

But at 2am I have no other impending obligations; all I need to do is take the meeting and I already fulfilled all of those other things earlier in the day.
An interesting side effect of the Ruslan drones using off the shelf DSLRs is that evidently speed cameras in Sweden are being destroyed for the cameras and those cameras are showing up in drone wreckage in Ukraine.

I don't think this invalidates the point or makes it not problematic that they host this content without any disclaimer. It would be extremely easy in many contexts to pass this off as being officially endorsed and on some level, regardless of the specifics, I'd call hosting it on their website some degree of implicit endorsement.

If it said something really terrible or unPC, do you think they'd leave it up just because "having it on the site isn't an official endorsement"?

Id bet my bottom dollar there are people passing these .gov links around on shitty facebook groups and saying, "look, even the NIH admits chakras are real"

At a minimum, they don't do anything to disabuse that notion like a header saying "we don't endorse everything we host" which seems like a reasonable first step.
Omega-6 oils are the foundation of the body's inflammatory response: more Omega-6 -> more inflammation (prostaglandins are made from Omega 6 [0]). My friend was eating an Omega-6 heavy diet. Omega 6 can't be diluted with Omega-3, the only way to fix the problem is to reduce all polyunsaturated oil consumption.

My breakthrough 'intervention' was frying whole wheat donuts in coconut oil. Coconut oil is brain food for alcoholics.

I assume some people don't think in their stand ups. Or even necessarily get out of bed.
I've watched the video as well and wholeheartedly agree! His 'Line Goes Up' documentary about crypto is also exceptional; very critical but in educated and actually nuanced ways (https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g).
Yes, there is this and then too the fact that it's hard to predict how much space you'll get back by deleting files because of snapshots and compression. Combine the two things and managing free space is hard for users.
the page flashed an apparent hint of actual content before vanishing and going:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

I agree, and I think it's not a generally good state, but if you're the one who organizes hangouts you're making a large positive impact
Welcome to substack! “But it is better than medium!”
The author didn't want to "understand a single concept" this way, but rather, as they say themselves, "get familiar with the best-articulated arguments put forward by the proponents of this tech".
The point being made isn't about sleeping in, it's about not functionally having a morning between waking up and starting work.
It builds a habit and moves you closer to your overall goal. It's similar to a common suggestion for writers who want to write a book: open an editor and write at least one sentence per day. Or doing at least one push-up every day.

No more zero days, so to speak.

Starting is often the hardest part. An easy task makes it harder for you to talk yourself out of it. It also keeps the ball rolling.

I think the OP meant "code" in its purest sense - writing something for themselves, not necessarily pushing the contributions to GitHub as a part of gamification.

You don't have to do it if you're disciplined. I struggle with it and I find tiny daily habits useful.
While I mostly agree I think this one is more about older people in government simply not understanding tech and data in the age of IoT. I know they do have some small understanding because I have recently read up on SOX, HIPAA and Graham Leach Baily act which all have to do with protecting data and securing IT in some way. What they mostly boil down to is, write stuff down, make sure consumers know it, and protect your computers, and then we will make another group of qualified people who oversee the enforcement usually under the FTC or FCC and make more recommendations.
It's Newcastle/Northumbrian in the UK, and it's not inaccurate at all.
Time to produce a book about fake books ... click.
As an experienced python developer that dabbles in Rust (and the connection of both) I'd say that you should have a hard time to program Python in a way that makes it run into undefined behavior. However I have more confidence in the Rust code being unexploitable than the Python code. Rust's strict ownership rules, the default immutable variables, the strict type system and the good test framework all combine to code where much less can happen beyond the intended paths.

Python hooks into C at some points. I have not verified every single one of those points.
Wait, what? I thought the term "tape out" came from the original process whereby the design would be exported to a data tape for transport to the fab.
it is not rude. My internal voice was, I have been working on this for over a year, have put a lot of my savings in to put in a first MVP. the first time i talked to him about a year ago, he was like, this is a stupid problem you are solving. I showed him the pitch deck, sent him a couple of positive responses from large fortune 50, and he put himself as cofounder and CEO? CEO? what have you done so far to earn CEO?

Mind you, i don't see myself as a CEO, but at the same time, I believe, I need to see a little more effort before handing it over to somebody.
And if the ai would communicate with these toxic shadowbanned people in such a way they become aware of their rudeness or mistakes on the forum? If AI creates a feedback loop then it's all right?

Tiny nitpick – buttons don't look like that when pressed in Windows 98 (or any version of Windows for that matter).

This is what they're supposed to look like: https://imgur.com/a/iFMJCER (98.css on top, Windows 98 below)

As far as I'm aware, the only buttons that look like that when pressed are the Start menu button and taskbar buttons.

Similarly, buttons are supposed to have a black border in addition to the dotted outline when they're focused.
Same on all accounts except only one grandpa was in the Korean war.

We're pretty squarely in the millennial cohort, which is largely defined by the major world events during our formative years that straddled the turn of the millennium.

Assuming you're in the US:

We were kids at the tail end of the cold war. We were in our early teens during the unfettered optimism of the late 90s, when the internet revolution was really kicking off.

We became adults right after the turn of the new millennium, in the wake of 9/11, between two recessions.

The world changed a lot in that timespan and we're defined by our having experienced it during our late childhood and early adulthood.

No, I know. I should have just not qualified it as much. Would have been funnier.

"I wake up at 4:59 am, 1 minute before my standup".

Instead I felt the need to explain exactly what was going on (and that it was self-inflicted).
>I guess that’s how MOST people are. A lot of people just want their socializing handed to them.

This was the main reason for people to go to church. The congregation gets a built-in social club, and the leaders get rich and the ability to control people's lives in various ways. Now that more and more people abandon religion, people are having to find other ways to socialize.
The first job I ever had required me to be someplace at 4am to start loading meat into a -30 degree freezer, and I’d do that until I lost all feeling in my hands, take a fifteen minute break, go back into the freezer until I couldn’t feel my hands again, take another fifteen minute break, then go back into the freezer a third time, then drive as home as soon as I got back enough feeling to get my car key into the door.

Decades later I get to sleep until 9, stay warm, do tech stuff all day, DoorDash brings lunch and dinner, take a shower and go to bed. No more commute. No more trying to drive in downpours and snow storms. If my stomach feels bad or I stayed up too late watching movies I can shut my eyes for a while. If I’m in the middle of a tough problem I can power through without worrying about having a parking space, or missing the last train, or having to shell out $300 for an unexpected hotel stay.

A world of difference from where I started, remote work is the best thing that ever happened.
