The buzzword of the week is macroeconomics.

For the parachute pants aficianados, the 1980's used the term poison pill to thwart certain strategies. The linear explains a lot of "fun the mentals/fundamentals" in place in 2022.

Layoffs, housing price decreases, used car decreases, crypto crashes, balloning interest rates.

It looks like the updated strategy is "get them high enough to where the fall kills them" :)

It does sound like a macroeconomic saying if you look at several linears for each :p

Yes, I'm sure Apple had no way of extending the license.

There's no "buy" here.

Rosetta is complexity to maintain, and an easy cut. It's not even part of the base system.

And “what people will buy” certainly didn’t prevent essentially removing support for non-hidpi displays from MacOS. Which is a lot more impactful than Rosetta as far as I’m concerned.

Git commit crafting (and rebase to achieve it) is overrated. If you care about crafting beautiful series of commits so that the future readers understands what's going on: don't. Context is more useful to find out why something changed. Example:

- you build feature F that is touching N files and M lines of code

- you craft your git commits so that each of them is atomic and "understandable" on its own

- now if I want to see the context of change for line X, I won't get the changes in all the N files... I'll get your crafted commit that updates only line X (worste case) or its immediate surroundings (best case). But how do I get the full context (i.e., this line is about feature F)? I have to git blame lines around line X and see if I can actually make a picture of the bigger feature. Examples of feature F: a whole new http endpoint touching controllers, services, data access models, middleware. What do you get when people craft their commits? 1 commit for the controller, 1 commit for the service, 1 commit for the data access model, etc. Zero context. Time wasted for the reader
Debate HN: Emacs vs. *Nix Philosphies
here's a soft position, open for much debate; happy to learn things today.
I think we are on the cusp of machine aided rules generation via example and counter example. It could be a very cool era of “Moore’s Law for software” (which I’m told software doubles in speed roughly every 18 years).

Property based testing is a bit of a baby step here, possibly in the same way that escape analysis in object allocation was the precursor to borrow checkers which are the precursor to…?

These are my inputs, these are my expectations, ask me some more questions to clarify boundary conditions, and then offer me human readable code that the engine thinks satisfies the criteria. If I say no, ask more questions and iterate.

If anything will ever allow machines to “replace” coders, it will be that, but the scare quotes are because that shifts us more toward information architecture from data munging, which I see as an improvement on the status quo. Many of my work problems can be blamed on structural issues of this sort. A filter that removes people who can’t think about the big picture doesn’t seem like a problem to me.

Is that any faster than modern versions of Photoshop today?

I seriously doubt that. Consider that Velocity Engine is another marketing term for AltiVec, PowerPC's SIMD instruction set. The Pentium III only supported SSE, which was a lot more basic in term of capabilities.

But SSE was extended a lot by Intel with the succeeding processors (SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4 (SSE4.1, SSE 4.2)), and supplemented two times by a more capable SIMD instruction set (AVX, AVX-512). By the way: SSE was intended to replace the older MMX SIMD instruction set (and to replace the x87 FPU by a modern floating point instruction set). So, if we consider AVX-512 to be the "sensible" instruction set for SIMD on x86, Intel needed four attempts to get it right. ;-)

So, I really doubt that Velocity Engine/AltiVec can compete with the modern x86 SIMD units. But it is very easy to admit that AltiVec's SIMD instruction set design is much more elegant and orthogonal than modern x86 SIMD (say, AVX or AVX-512).

Okay, what about when you are writing the parser?
Interesting read, though the writing itself is ironically quite clunky for an article about writing. It's bad enough that I still suspect it might be written by an AI.

It's worth noting that technical writing is basically two professions wrapped up into one:

- On one hand, there are traditional technical writers; folks with next to no coding skills who frequently edit technical content written by others. These individuals typically use a CMS to produce content (since they have very few technical skills), use Google Docs or Word to edit and create content, and make money in the range indicated by the article.

- On the other hand, you'll find, er, "technical technical writers." These are typically former developers or senior writers who do a lot of coding on the side. They generally practice docs-as-code, write novel content with only technical reviews as input (instead of editing content written by the developers), and also serve as QA and beta testers. Organizations often rely on these kinds of writers as the first users who aren't internal developers for new features, and they can be trusted to explore the bounds and edge cases of a new feature all on their own, with only occasional questions and meetups with engineering. They also frequently hack on documentation frameworks, writing extensions and layers on top of sphinx, docusaurus, markdocs, etc. They make near-developer salaries, sometimes even more.

As we lose testers and QA, and engineering organizations endure more and more hiring freezes, the latter class of technical folks become more and more valuable. It'll be interesting to see where the industry goes over the next few years. I'm tempted to say that docs-as-code scales better than collaborating on Google Docs, but who knows?

This article, unfortunately, is completely targeted at the traditional class of technical writers. See their recommendation on running your own blog:

The first step in creating your own blog is deciding on a
content management system or CMS that will help you maintain
your blog posts in one place without having to worry about
technicalities like formatting HTML code or writing css or
get busy with the back-end. You can start with any of the
following: WordPress, Wix, Ghost, Squarespace, Strapi or Sanity

Besides the fact that the first sentence is so long, rambly, and has enough structural issues that I don't believe a competent technical writer would ever craft it... this seems really close-minded to me. I personally use Jekyll and GitHub Pages for my personal blog, so I don't have any CMS besides a GitHub repo. If you're currently a developer, I recommend that approach -- it's closest to the docs-as-code documentation approach, too. Additionally, this quote commits the sin of conflating "using a CMS" with "writing posts in something other than HTML". Hopefully non-technical folks interested in technical writing don't get too confused by it.

For those wondering what "accountability" and "responsibility" should look like:

They do not need to mean punishment, they can just mean "clear, concrete intent for remediation and improvement".

The remediation part is implemented by the severance package.
The intent for improvement, is nowhere to be seen.

When somebody makes a mistake, punishing on its own is meaningless. The point is to remedy the mistake (eg pay money if the mistake incurred a financial loss) and prevent further future mistakes. No, the CEO should not resign, they should just identify why things went SO wrong and show a clear plan on how to prevent such mistakes from the future.

If someone deletes a database, I don't expect them to resign, I expect them to restore it from a backup, and find a way to prevent such mistakes from the future (eg run migrations in a reversible transaction)

Oh cool! I've been working on something similar. I am trying to move to a more ergo keyboard from a straight ortho and wanting to build something that fits on top of my laptop when I'm in bed, etc. So I had some "core" 6x3 boards build and glued magnets on the bottom:

I'm now waiting on my thumb cluster PCBs from china as well as my corne-style column stagger cores. I've also moved from raw header pins to JST SH 4 and 6 pin connectors to connect the raw row and column signals to a central board.

The intent is to play around with angle, position, splay, etc until I find something I like. The magnetic parts make it a lot easier (and cheaper!) to make changes.

I bought an inexpensive 12"x12" magnetic steel bulletin board from Amazon for the base.
> You may find there's nowhere better to go

Yeah that's kinda the rub right now though. Everyone's frozen, tons are laying off. If the only information you have is "my company did a layoff", it's not clear you're better off looking externally vs. internally vs. staying on your current team.

One bad case is you leave your company that just did a layoff for one that has yet to do one (but will need to soon).

> I really like squash merges because then you know tests passed at every commit. Makes bisect easier

Here is a script (just 3 lines) that tells git bisect to ignore commits in the feature branches, so you can bisect only the commits (usually the merge commits) in the main branch. Best of both worlds.

This is a pretty poor take, IMO. I have not seen any difference in results of a CEO who "takes responsibility" vs "blames outside factors". Taking responsibility seems to be a cheap way to come off as a better person without actually doing anything differently.
> Or, in other words: "housing is a human right" does not need to be construed as a positive obligation.

I struggle to think of a way to construe it that is not a positive obligation.

Increasing zoning is not making housing a human right. It is bringing down housing prices, which is great, but it would make words meaningless if it qualified for “housing as a human right”.

On the other hand, the government reimbursing everyone for the annual cost of housing in the 20th percentile of the US is something actionable. For example, if housing at 20th percentile is $12k per year, then everyone gets $12k per year to spend on housing. They can choose to move to wherever they want.

And that example is basically UBI, so might as well just advertise that as the solution.

I bought Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer in May of this year, less than 6 months ago. Some companies that offer perpetual licenses would simply give me the upgrade to the next version for free since it came out within a year, and basically all of them would offer an upgrade discount that isn't simply a launch sale, into perpetuity.

The price is good for decent software but it's kind of discouraging me from wanting to upgrade, when their goal should be the exact opposite of that.

Google's ad network is pretty ubiquitous since it spans almost all the known web. Facebook is pretty big too but relies mostly on its own platform (FB, Inst etc.). For sure Google is affected, but I imagine the impact is less.

Also one thing that shouldn't be missed: Google controls Android, the most popular mobile OS in the world (except US maybe) so it wasn't affected as strongly by Apple's clampdown.

The lesson to Zuck is clear: he absolutely needs to own the next digital platform, and in his mind its the metaverse so he's going all in. I question the decisions he makes but the reasoning seems pretty solid at least (unlike a certain Electric Car maker)

I'm a ML dilletante and hope someone more knowledgeable chimes in, but one thing to consider is the statistics of how many instructions you're translating and the accuracy rate. Binary execution is very unforgiving to minor mistakes in translation. If 0.001% of instructions are translated incorrectly, that program just isn't going to work.
Stash -> pull -> unstash is just manual rebase, though. You're already doing the thing you're claiming not to do, you're just doing it the hard way.

- It doesn't matter how you name variables. (if you want to sound cool: "lambda terms are invariant under alpha-conversion")

- Each new variable introduces a scope.

- Therefore, how scopes are nested defines the entire expression.

- Instead of the usual way, we represent scopes with numbers, with the index representing "how nested the scope is". Imagine it's python, and you're pressing tab that many times.
