That sounds like "if you paid your racketeer, you can expect you'll be OK". However tomorrow you can get an additional racketeer to the first and both will demand payment then. First won't care to protect you from the second. Unlike mob protection racket they aren't exclusive.

The right thing here is use something that doesn't have a default protection racket attached.

Don’t developers face consequences over bugs in their code? Too many and you might get shown the door.
They should also stop building open office plans, as numerous studies have shown.

I'd like to see a study which analyzed corporate management as a cult and looked at the irrational non-profit-motive based behaviors that you have to 'signal' in order to work up the ladder. Where decisions were more about peer approval than actually making the company better.
Yeah. I mean the line feels a bit arbitrary. I'm certainly not against fuel injection or even having an ECU. The stability control stuff I guess I'd want to talk to a mechanic and understand if it comes with a maintenance or quality burden.

It seems like a lot of what's being sold today goes way past these points though. Just an impression
It made me curious too, but I still think that comments in the mold of "well I heard" should be supported at least a little bit. Did you find any support for the claim?
How about just add it to release notes? Or mention it in the blog post for the new Chrome version?

"Quietly" fits perfectly in this case if it didn't do either of those, when it's actually a huge deal.

Plain Jevko is a notch below JSON/XML/S-expr -- it's not really a format, but a syntax that can be leveraged to build a format.

This is where the rules for whitespace would be specified. These can then be taken advantage of by tools to reformat, etc.

The world is way more competitive nowadays so it makes sense that everyone has to work harder to meet previous standards for scarce goods.

> Bitcoin is the first (and most stable) theoretically unseizable currency.

Bitcoin is subject to federal policy as much as anything is: as much as secret Swiss bank accounts.

You imply evasion works. But that certainly doesn't mean it is federally legal, legal with the IRS, or legal for whatever other reasons. You have the risk of serious consequences if you are caught breaking the laws that apply to you.

Your argument implies that you can break the law without getting caught, but we already have surprising crypto counterexamples against that.

Also, the market is slowly being split into legitimate trading (via centralised platforms with KYC rules) and illegitimate trading (for stolen bitcoins, or bitcoins tainted by tumbling with illegal bitcoins). As that plays out, it seems likely to become more difficult to actually trade your crypto without some laundering costs and risks.

Keeping a number in your head or hiding some gold in your secret location are the same thing.

Top-down modulation impairs priming susceptibility in complex decision-making
> Decreasing taxes to fight inflation. We've clearly got the experts in the driver's seat here.

This article is not describing any kind of policy change or decision that was made by the IRS.

The size of the standard deduction is set by a federal law passed by Congress. That law fixed the deduction at $3,000 (for single filers) in 1988, and specified that it should be adjusted for inflation in future years by multiplying by the change in CPI, so that the real value of the deduction stays constant.

The IRS is just doing the arithmetic and updating the forms, as they're legally required to.

1. Whenever anyone in the organization has an interesting conversation about the product they take notes. They're just plaintext notes using notepad or whatever.

2. There are about 20 keywords. They are represented as ALL CAPS

3. When you take notes, you tag them with the keywords

4. These notes are checked into git like everything else, and built as part of the dev/team/pmo/enterprise DevSecOps pipeline

5. Doing this creates a realtime and ever-changing analysis model

This leads to better conversations, better questions, elimination of duplication and conflicting business ideas, entry of data once, tracking bugs and features in plain language all of the stakeholders can understand, automated testing frameworks, interactive diagrams showing what the business thinks the world looks like and how they're products will change it, and more.

It was fun trying to design the simplest system possible able to map the almost endless complexity of human interactions around a given domain. tl;dr "Intent" is everything that happens between humans to organize their view of the world and the tech they're making to interact with it. Intent begins with brainstorming, perhaps BS sessions with coders, marketers, customers, and so forth and ends with feature tests, user manuals, and everything but the code itself.

Sundar took the easy way of trying to force revenue growth at all costs and achieved it in 2021, but the tactics are not long term sustainable and have slowed growth and profitability.

A lot of people no longer believe in personal freedom. They would rather fire employees before banning tobacco and alcohol, yet tobacco and alcohol is far more dangerous and leads to more deaths than COVID-19.
I'm actually working on something that lets AI spit out code of a specific architecture, somewhat inspired by AWS CloudFormation.

I think it's like anything else. You figure a way to communicate to the machine. Except instead of our current programming languages that resemble legal documents, the future "language" might be more abstract and high level.

The pitch for the current generation of AI is "your pair programmer". So that's probably the first step - it checks your code or you ask it to code and you check its code.

That’s easy: it’s not our guy! It’s those other guys! We’re wonderful and they’re terrible!

That’s how incumbents can maintain their edge whilst Congress as a body is untrusted.

I’m convinced that capping the House of Representatives at 435 was a mistake, and Federalizing most laws even more of a mistake. The question isn’t whether democracy can scale, but whether ours can within its present constraints. The reforms I would want to see are mechanical; not social, economic or judicial. A Continental-sized nation with hundreds of millions and growing probably needs thousands—not a few hundred!—of legislators if representation is to be meaningful. Short of that, my Representative has 700K+ constituents, so any one individual holding her accountable without other connections is a pipe dream at best.

Did you tried to encode anything with av1? Even with a high end CPU it's just not feasible, I tried with ffmpeg and it was encoding a single digit fps per seconds.

A video of just 10min would take many hours, on the other end h265 encoding is slow but doable.

Edit: just retried on my laptop:

0.6fps with a 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz
Using the lastest version of ffmpeg with the sample from the wiki: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libaom-av1 -crf 30 -b:v 0 av1_test.mkv

It's that slow that I don't even get the file size to change on disk, still 0 I guess the ffmpeg encoded buffer is still too small to be flushed out after a minute.

Here’s something everybody can do. Buy something at a yard sale and sell it on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or EBay.

For a more advanced and challenging option, set up a Shopify site and try to sell something there. Buy Google Ads to get traffic to it. Blog writing will likely take months to pay off unless you have some kind of audience you can get it in front of.

For a really advanced option (that almost nobody will take you up on), find a local business and make them a website that’s optimized for SEO. Get them listed on Google Maps, onto directory/citation sites, and start tracking conversions through Google Analytics. I was fortunate to be able to do this for my partner’s e-commerce business and the lessons I learned were really valuable starting my digital marketing career.
Totally the opposite - I think that's really from Scala's first versions of so.

But Scala has a steep learning curve for the advanced techniques and the compile times can be very annoying when using those. And if you don't use the advanced techniques, you might as well pick Kotlin or Java instead.
Festival 1.96 text to speech. Festival 2.x available in modern distros does not support the 1.9 voices and the Festival 2.0 voices are far inferior. There are no comparable replacements for native text to speech on linux. Just a bunch of cloud stuff and bleeding edge things that require nvidia GPUs, etc. If an OS can't run Festival 1.96 then it can't be my main desktop.

imgSeek. It requires python 2.4 among other things. It allowed me to draw crude MS Paint style images and then use them to search for similar colored/shaped images on my hard drive. There's no good replacement for it's ability and porting is non-trivial. https://sourceforge.net/projects/imgseek/

Also, the relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2224/ My solution for this is to keep my old computers running old OSes and software. I build a new computer with all the new software once every 5-10 years when I'm finding I can no longer compile things.

Consulting Wikipedia's "first appeared" field for each:

D: 8 December 2001; 20 years ago

Go: November 10, 2009; 12 years ago

Rust: July 7, 2010; 12 years ago

TypeScript: 1 October 2012; 10 years ago

Zig: 8 February 2016; 6 years ago

The only one of these which isn't at least twice as old as Zig is TypeScript, which has the might of Microsoft behind it, and is based on a well understood, pre-existing language.

This is not a fair comparison.

> It probably doesn't have much value if you're say, a doctor, working with different systems each time that look similar.

You either don’t know what a doctor does or I don’t understand the point you were trying to drive. Doctors spend decades refining their ability to recognize all kinds of issues that have vastly different conditional probabilities of occurring. Internalizing that is the entire value of a doctor over webmd.

Being a doctor isn’t as simple as absorbing a mechanic’s guide to the human body and just doing the same procedures over and over.

Quite simple, assuming you use a filesystem that supports snapshots.

I'll assume you're using btrfs, but ZFS works too.

You create a subvolume.

You create a docker-compose.yml file inside this subvolume. You create a directory beside the docker-compose.yml, and you put ALL of your stored volumes for each container in your project in it. I define the volumes with relative paths so I can just pick up and move the project around.

Terrible art incoming:

example-project/ <-- this is your subvolume
|- docker-compose.yml
|- volumes/
|- example-project-psql/
... files ...
|- example-project-conf/
|- configuration.yml
|- example-project-redis
... files ...

Now when it's time to upgrade, you can snapshot the whole thing. App and DB are both frozen in that point in time, and you proceed not needing to worry about how you will rollback.
The actual information is buried at the very end:

> When Spotify later submitted an app update with features unrelated to audiobooks, Apple rejected it. App Store reviewers told Spotify that the audiobooks offering, which had previously been approved, violated rules requiring apps to use Apple’s payment system to unlock new features, according to Spotify.

> Mr. Zicherman’s team changed the email customers would receive, stripping out the purchase button they had previously included. They replaced it with an email that gave customers a link to browse Spotify’s audiobook titles.

> Apple rejected Spotify’s change days later, saying that offering customers a button to receive an email about other purchase options broke App Store rules. An Apple spokesman said that Spotify also had a discrepancy in an external link in its app, which sent people to a different web address than one that Apple had approved. Spotify said the link was unrelated to audiobooks and that it has resolved that issue.

> Mr. Zicherman said his team consulted with Spotify’s legal staff before deciding to strip out the email phase of the audiobook process. In its place, they told listeners to go to Spotify’s website to buy a book.

> “What we have now is effectively a dead end,” Mr. Zicherman said.

> On Monday, Spotify said that Apple had rejected Mr. Zicherman’s latest redesign. He and a team of product designers, engineers and attorneys worked until early Tuesday morning on four other options. They stripped away Spotify’s website and directions for more information about audiobooks, putting the onus on customers to go online and figure out how to complete a purchase. The changes won Apple’s approval, Spotify said.

> “You can’t buy audiobooks in the app,” the landing page now says. “We know, it’s not ideal.”

Seems like Spotify wanted to sell their audiobooks without giving Apple their standard cut via some weird email linking scheme.

The wording seems deliberately ambiguous to give the impression that Apple is denying them for some unclear reason. Which they'd be very silly to try to do.

It's a lot more sensible that they're not willing to grant Spotify a carve out to their most well publicized and discussed rule regarding in-app transactions.
> does not address the gap in hardware support between HEVC and AV1 for efficient accelerated decoding

I'm rooting for AV1 just the same as everyone else, but it's still nowhere close to HEVC in terms of hardware support, or even general quality/efficiency. It's just going to take some more time.
Supposedly the app/site went AWOL more or less a few years? and then got resurrected.

V1 is the takeoff decision speed. Vr is the rotation speed. V2 is the initial climb speed.

V1 is the speed that’s relevant here and I think the crew decision to abort well past V1 is both completely appropriate and unusual. There often isn’t enough runway to reach a chosen V1 then Vr then try to rotate them realize you’ve got an unflyable airplane then start the abort and still stop on the pavement or EMAS overrun.

Normalizing post-V1 aborts would almost surely cost more lives than it saves. Taking a problem into the air is often the safest course of action.
My tips for maintaining velocity and sanity:

1. Ensure your devs are making choices that do not mortgage tomorrow. Anything that gives O(1) value (one new feature) and requires O(n) investment (forever maintaining) is a bad deal.

2. Make as much of your code someone else's problem through FOSS. (This is kinda the same idea as innovation tokens)

3. Solve the generic problem not the specific one. For example, i could write a program that reads a csv row by row, converts it to my internal model, then emits those data into a ndjson file. Or I could just write a program that converts csv to ndjson , agnostic of the data. The former costs you every time the model changes. The latter is useful for a variety of system architectures again in the future.

4. Let the computer do as much as possible for you. Automation is compounding returns. O(1) value from manual testing, vs O(n) value for automated testing, there's a clear winner in my mind. Typed languages prevent a class of bugs, so does TLA+.

5. Most customers wont tell you it's broken, most engineers wont stay to clean up someone elses' mess. Best to avoid those issues or resolve them immediately.

6. Remove broken incentives where individuals leverage everyone else's resources for their own gain. An example of the pattern is "pleased to announce" emails sent to all@. (along with the litany of reply-all posturing). These kinds of emails cost you for every employee, but only bring value to a very small subset of folks. At it's worst you have N^2 cost for 0 value. Ensure individuals can be recognized and promoted without such emails. Disincentivize those who bring that behavior from previous broken cultures.
For what it's worth, Intel & Netflix's AV1 encoder SVT-AV1 is extremely fast -- it changed my mind about what encoder rates are possible with AV1, to the point that I'm very happy with realtime CPU encoding.
I started collecting some legacy hardware in 2018 because I missed the touch and feel of playing Digger, Popcorn, Lemmings... on real hardware (not attracted by emulators).

Problem with such hardware is that when you look for a piece, you find it cheaper in a batch than alone. I've ended up so far with a nice collection 10-12 PCs from the eighties. Nicest ones are the IBM 5150, 5160 and 5162, the Compaq Deskpro 386-20 (in the original huge Compaq form factor), the original Compaq Portable 386, a pair of IBM PS/2 8530-286...

I can play my old games, run Turbo Pascal programs I wrote in 1988-1990, play with x86 Assembler programming, play MOD files on PC bipper and Sound Blaster 2. In addition I can run Area5150, 8088MPH... Recent software that only run on very specific and very old hardware.

No regret, it is mostly fun!

How are you going to handle it when the Supreme Court reverses itself on decisions decades later? Or even just a few years later when a new Justice is added? Does all the money from damages get returned, with interest and accounting for inflation?

Law is never settled and courts disagree and reverse frequently... So I don't think you've really thought this through... :)

Including who is going to pay for all those damages, which is going to be the taxpayers, so hello much higher taxes! ;)
