The readme doesn't say if this works on iOS, which would be an upgrade from Apple's OpenGL ES implementation.

OpenGL ES works great on curent iOS hardware/software but the Simulator support is broken with newer iOS images. In the Simulator, GL ES is now unusably slow, buggy, crashy.

I have an app store Mac/iOS app which is written twice, but the two versions share lots of source, including all the GL rendering code, which is complicated. My strategy has just been to silence the GL deprecations and carry on, as it's not worth the time to rewrite the renderer in Metal, and the performance is great on modern GPUs. I just do cosmetic updates to the UI code as needed.
The bigger one is the lack of any consequences whatsoever. For instance, do something that leads to the death of another person, even unintentionally, and you may find yourself behind bars for some significant period of time. Do it as a corporation, even on a large scale, and you'll generally suffer little more than a fine that is generally no more than a few days of yearly revenue, and of course zero consequences for the executives who in many cases are directly culpable - frequently making decisions consciously prioritizing short-term profit over all, including safety.

Sure, you're not going to want to start up a major project with a long-abandoned language experiment, but frankly it's not much of a step down from even an active language experiment.

I suppose it's got a greater chance of being harder to get going, but so much of that depends on how it was built in the first place that simply being older isn't enough information make much of a guess on that either.

> But for me, I am effectively paying some other person $40 to get dirty and bang his knuckles and whatnot while I sit in the AC and watch cable and dick around on my phone (which I enjoy much more) AND a lot of places will check and top up your other fluids and top off your tires and do an inspection to see if anything else will need work, which I don't know how to do and obviously they know what they are looking for.

While I understand the point you're trying to make for people wandering by:

I've done my own oil, brakes, etc for as long as I remember. As long as you're not working on a supercar an oil change should take you less than an hour. Ideally inside of 30 minutes. 99.9% of vehicles are simple: place oil bucket under car, open oil cap on engine, gently loosen the oil pan bolt, drain oil. While the oil is draining you can get a second bucket and undo the filter. Reverse the process being careful to not strip the oil pan bolt, fill it up with the manufacturer recommended amount, and you're done. At least in America most AutoZones, Pep Boys, O'Reilly's, etc will take your used oil off your hands for free. As for tire inspection, fill up, etc you should also be doing this yourself. It's another 10 minute job with a $5 tool. I'm of the opinion every home should own an air compressor. It is one of the most universally useful things a person can have.

Why is this important? Oil shops are rife with fraud. The quality of your oil can dramatically influence the life of your car. I've had quick lube places rip me off so many times, leave parts off, etc. For what? I saved 30 minutes but gained another expense. Most of the time unless the shop is very reputable "premium" oils aren't actually royal purple. It's just the same crap they put in everyone else's car. By not paying dealer/etc premiums I save hundreds of dollars and get far better quality oil and service doing it myself. This is a skill I picked up being extremely broke before I got into tech and I've dedicated a small portion of my life to being able to fix (most of) my own issues. To the point I only show up to a shop when I need work that requires an engine crane or transmission lift (I've done transmission work myself before but its worth it to make it someone else's problem).

Do your own oil. You do it once or twice a year, you understand your vehicle better, and you get better oil and filters for the money. Moreover, the average tech connects an ODB-2 alarm checker to your car and then writes you an invoice. Cars are not difficult. If spending 2-3 hours a year is too time-expensive for you I'm not sure what to tell you. I just hope you don't run into a situation far from home where a tow truck is 6 hours away and understanding your car could get you home safe and fast.

I think they are trying to compete with Stable Diffusion, etc. But training those models is expensive so I wonder where they got the money for it.

If they are simply using the actual pretrained SD model I don’t understand what exactly they are offering. There got to be more than a gallery site, right?

EDIT: they clarified they’re using 50/50 own models/SD. OK, so in this case I’d like to see how their models are better.

> This is honestly just dumb

Yes, but in an indirect way. At some point, nitrogen deposition was identified as harmful to nature, and emissions targets were put in place. Politicians then did everything they could not to be the one having to introduce unpopular legislation, until they couldn't anymore. Now the government has painted themselves in a corner and cannot give permits for building projects anymore without breaking the law.

I think we'll see this more often in the future when the consequences of ambitious targets will need to be reckoned with.
Richard Hamming called what we now know as assembler “automatic programming”:

> I give you a story from my own private life. Early on it became evident to me that Bell Laboratories was not going to give me the conventional acre of programming people to program computing machines in absolute binary. It was clear they weren't going to. But that was the way everybody did it. I could go to the West Coast and get a job with the airplane companies without any trouble, but the exciting people were at Bell Labs and the fellows out there in the airplane companies were not. I thought for a long while about, "Did I want to go or not?" and I wondered how I could get the best of two possible worlds. I finally said to myself, "Hamming, you think the machines can do practically everything. Why can't you make them write programs?" What appeared at first to me as a defect forced me into automatic programming very early. What appears to be a fault, often, by a change of viewpoint, turns out to be one of the greatest assets you can have. But you are not likely to think that when you first look the thing and say, "Gee, I'm never going to get enough programmers, so how can I ever do any great programming?"

A lot of people are going to hold up this renewed discussion as vindication, and that is somewhat correct. But the hard truth is that now is the right time to focus on this, and the beginning of the pandemic was simply not.

The intelligence of groups scales something like the inverse of Metcalfe's law. More people means more memetic mass repeating poor local optima, severely curtailing everyone's ability for rational thought. So in a large group the bandwidth to quickly converge on nuanced truths just isn't there.

We couldn't even get wearing a basic respirator, as demonstrated in countless movies about pandemics, to become accepted as common sense until 22 months into the pandemic. That's how paralyzed we were as a society. The last thing we needed was even more energy being dumped into jingoistic (and other zero-sum) red herrings rather than taking basic care of ourselves.
I don't think the post is inaccurate or the authors untrustworthy, but I don't think it's a good idea to rely on their blog to get OpenSSL alerts, especially when there is an official, high signal-to-noise, alternative.

It was a total fluke and hit at least 2/3 of the state, most cold blasts don't do that. I was lucky and near a hospital, so my power only went out a couple of hours and I had 2 families (friends) come and live with me for 3 days or so. They cleaned out my larder, but honestly I enjoyed my time with them immensely. However, climatologists predict it will happen more often as the jet stream that usually keeps most of the arctic air out of the state is getting weaker of the years.

I've just finished Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman.

It provides a lot of strong evidence for an optimistic rather than cynical take on human nature.
That was my observation as well (didn't read the 1st ed.). The middle third of the book is very dense and a lot of concepts will have to be kept in mind as the CPU is built up from plain transistors. It was all new to me, so challenging.

In the last third however, higher level concepts, languages etc. are introduced, and there's nothing new or even very interesting in that part for anyone with a year or more of regular coding experience.

The counter-question is: how good are you at sales and marketing?

Fixing the bugs is the easy part; finding customers and convincing them to pay you to help is the hard part.
We replaced horse manure as a waste product with greenhouse gases, which produced a local improvement but will very likely put large portions of New York City under water in this century. So based on the evidence accumulated so far, we haven’t demonstrated that we can find our way out of the resource/pollution dilemma. Maybe we will in the future!
Are you familiar with the concepts of SDET (software development engineer in test) or software test/QA? I’m asking genuinely because in our industry, traditional quality control sometimes seems to have went out the window in the rush for speed.

Perhaps look for prior art on being a third party/contract SDET or test/QA engineer?

I suspect you’d need to look for a specific class of opportunities where you can work on bugs under contract for customers, or, look for things where you can work on bugs externally as a third-party on public products and services, things like chasing bug bounties.

With many companies trying to abolish more traditional quality controls for software, by having developers conduct more test driven development, self driven integration testing, etc., I am not sure if you can be as successful as an external third-party offering bug fixing services, unless it’s in the right circumstances.

Back when Apple was convincing people to transition to OS X, their website had areas that were strongly dedicated to people for whom a UNIX workstation might have made sense. I was working in life sciences back then and the workflow was Macs running Perkin Elmer gel machines and Solaris and Irix running the analysis. Apple pushed really hard to convince us that OS X was Real UNIX.

These kind of breakthroughs change the economics and composition of the new energy economy. They are not a challenge to the fact that harmful, limited, fossil energy is a very cheap and simple way to run an economy for a century or so.

But something like geometry has practical applications that continue even if people don’t know it by that name (most builders know the 3-4-5 triangle right angle trick, for example).
Absolutely. How many times have you heard this statement?

"Our next car will be electric... But not a Tesla."

The insult is a signal that something is wrong in the world, and may require effort and attention, even if you aren't suffering because of the insult.

But no this isn't particularly useful to actual humans who are still (easily) overwhelmed to madness with reactive pain, and the stoics compassion feels like that shown by the (non-hysterical) passengers in that one Airplane! scene [0].

(It occurs to me that expressing cruelty toward those suffering from hysterics is more than mere sadism; it may be a legitimate coping mechanism with their own fear. Focusing the mind on something, even hatefully, can save the hater from their own fear that the world is completely out-of-control.)

Yes. I’d considered tearing a 400 apart because I didn’t need the keyboard at all, but I don’t know what else I’d put it in to save much space.
I'd suggest to be explicit that you are not familiar with terminology, but willing to learn. It's rather arrogant to assume people with more knowledge adapt to your notation.

Maybe you already did this, in which case it's unfortunate. However, you're the one who has to make sure you communicate as clearly as possible.
- Not having the same people fixing bugs as the ones making it could be a bad practice. Learning from your mistake is a bliss. This would create a bad pattern of someone saying "our expert analyst will catch/fix it anyway"

- What's the size of a bug that is worth the (never small) dive to the codebase/dev environment setup? The big ones are especially interesting for #1. For small bugs, it's not worth it for both parties.

- A single project will probably not generate enough work. Juggling multiple projects is a risk for everyone involved.
Totally agree.

I'm not being glib when I say that it was the best decision I ever made and has improved my life immensely.
> while liveable land is shrinking due to climate change

Why? The article doesn't go into detail about this.
Is it because the climate is getting hotter and people are migrating to colder places? Instead of you know using air conditioning.

Then this just feels a country that doesn't want to grow, not that it hit any actual limits.
Isn't this also similar to what's happening in Japan?

Fixing bugs (even super hard ones) is a very narrow set of expectations for someone in software.

Sounds cliché but an employee is expected to 'create value' which has a variable meaning.
As an employer - sure I have bugs for you to fix. But I also need new features, performance improvements, re-work old code, etc.

It's going to be a hard sell to hire someone who can only do one of those things (albeit very well), because employers expect someone who can adapt and can deliver whatever is reasonably asked of them in their domain.

I think you are also downplaying the importance of context, a contractor coming in fresh will be missing critical pieces of information that may influence why something happened or was designed like it is.

Bug/Security bounties sound to me like the closest alternative for what you are trying to do.
I would just like to note that I collect RSS feeds from a large number of sources, and none of them contained this non-trivial piece of news (I just did a search on the database).

I just checked on the websites of the NYT, on the Guardian - nothing.

It is like in typical treatment of History: progress is at or beyond the margin.
tl;dr: get yourself a therapist who understands that the most important questions for you w/r/t to your mental and emotional well-being are not whether you ‘really have’ social anxiety, or whether autism ‘really is’ just a disorder, or whatever.

> However, if having social anxiety becomes part of your identity, it becomes the lense that you see the world. TikTok makes it easy, but social media as a whole is identity obsessed by its nature,

I think this is as much a feature of that stage of personal development as it is of social media. Adolescence and early adulthood are periods in life when there's naturally a lot of focus on identity formation. I think the issue with diagnosis being taken as identity formation comes out of that background more than it does the nature of social media or out of medical diagnoses themselves.

It also (imo) comes from a scientistic approach to psychology: it starts with the premise that the diagnostic categories one finds in diagnostic manuals all correspond to real conditions in the world (realism) which divide the population into kinds of people (essentialism). But that forgets the purpose of those diagnostic manuals and their contents (to help mental health clinicians guide treatment plans) and the nature of the science and clinical practice here, which is driven almost exclusively using hypothetical entities we can't directly observe. The DSM's purpose is not to provide an ontology, or to identify essential features of the human mind, and certainly not to do so in a way with any kind of finality.

The other thing to think about is the kind of profound validation and relief that can come with gaining a ‘label’ for one's struggles, a framework for thinking about them, and references to communities where you can learn from other people dealing with the same things. That is huge, and it's really important to a lot of people when they first get diagnosed (whether with mental health or a chronic physical condition, for that matter). And it's natural for that to push one to see their diagnosis or the label associated with it as defining part of who they are.

That said, there are psychologists and psychiatrists who are also troubled by this, who are critical of ontologizing or essentializing approaches to their own fields. Go in with an attitude that you're looking for labels that are useful regardless of whether they're true, with an understanding that mental health exists not just in the patient but in their social relations to the whole of their society, that our diagnostic categories in 10 or 50 or 100 years will likely be quite different from the ones we have now, that many conditions with similar symptoms may be related or distinct in ways we don't yet understand, that as you work on things you might shed just enough symptoms of this or that thing to go from qualifying for diagnosis to no longer qualifying (despite the clear continuity in who you are, your personality and traits, etc.) and so on. You can find therapists who are comfortable taking an anti-realist, anti-essentialist approach which resists that mental habit of reification.
