Technical problems I have with logging: it is manual in that I cannot just turn on logging for lines 345-387, or for function doTheThing(), I have to add log statements and monitor wherever they are output (or even set up their outputting). For compiled languages this seems like a tough problem to solve. For interpreted languages to deny me this feature is a slap in the face.
According to Amnesty International, the death penalty is a “most fundamental” violation of human rights. [0] Should countries guilty of such serious human rights violations be allowed to host the World Cup? That would mean taking it off Qatar - but off the US too. (Canada and Mexico would still be okay.)

imo this limited definition of peer groups is in fact one of the biggest issues with our education model. short of being drafted there is virtually no other social or work setting where your entire social stratum will be comprised solely of people born within the same 12 months and the same zipcode. if anything this gives a highly distorted view of society and encourages a whole range of maladaptive behaviors & thinking patterns. it should be unsurprising that the most intense forms of bullying occur in these settings.
It's a huge leap from Marxist to "supports China and Russia." It's blatantly not the same thing. There's plenty of room to debate about the actual political differences at hand without introducing a ~~red herring~~.

Edit: this is actually a "straw man", not a "red herring".
- Long term "Savings account" - a volatile one, of course
- I buy stuff from online with it, household items (In country I live you can basically buy anything with BTC)
- Travel, I book hotels/flight with it and once I rented a boat for a family trip

In addition to that I now and then try to pay with Bitcoins at other stores. Last time got excited about boltcards (https://github.com/boltcard/boltcard) there are few places in my country which accept it, but it is quite a new thing.
Disagree; could be any large organisation - government, NGO or private company, it's all pretty much the same once you get too big to manage.

This is an interesting article. My takeaway is that this British team during the war seems to have streamlined a process for surfacing leadership traits that are relevant in a military context.

Lately, my view on what makes a good leader and what I'm trying to practice myself is simplifying down quite a bit. I've come to the conclusion that if there is one attribute you should optimize for, either for yourself as a potential leader, or in choosing someone to follow when selecting a venture, it's ... technical competence.

Hopefully it's clear that I'm defining technical competence broadly to mean deep knowledge about the details of your particular domain. I think this definition is applicable to engineers, attorneys, doctors, entrepreneurs, etc.

I think generalizable leadership attributes are important but purely supplementary to technical competence.
Isn’t mastodon like Twitter, with super short character counts? You can’t blog at that word count. You still get that Twitter-like inability to have discourse and nuance

Unless different instances lift that?
Why vi vs vim ? (I have no experience with vi, only vim.)
I would think that one thing FB could do to encourage them to post more is show how many people have seen something you post. Right now 50 people could see your post and all you know is that three people liked it and one commented. I think people would be encouraged to post more when they know they have an audience (assuming they actually do have an audience).
you're getting downvoted by people who didn't get the joke.
Within Lambda, yes, sucks. This is why container-based serverless is so much more exciting. (Which Cloud Run offers.)

I'm in the early stages of this rearchitecture but so far I've had no difficulty with local development.
Although it will be endlessly debated, it doesn't matter that much how a recession got started, nor who deserves the most blame. Once the spending-slowdown spiral gets going, it can become self-sustaining on its own, beyond anyone's control, affecting both the guilty and the innocent.
I'm not saying international developers are incompetent, it's quite the opposite. I've worked with great engineers from all over the world, but I'm willing to say that on average, American engineers in American companies do a better job building products for Americans and Western Europeans.

Come try to get my salary, I'm doing my best to stay ahead and justify it. We'll see who wins but I've been here before :)
If you use the program its plainly obvious this kind of opinion is well spread through it. Of course I deeply respect anyone who puts their work out for free as FOSS but the tool is not a shining example of good software.
The only other thing I'd add to this list is that Cargo and crates.io predate Rust 1.0, and that (subjectively) Cargo is an excellent package manager. So taking a dependency on 3rd party crates has always been simple and consistent in Rust, and the marginal added convenience of having something in the stdlib is smaller than in most other languages. In contrast, the Go tooling leaned pretty heavily towards monorepos and vendoring for several years, before the standardization of go.mod.
> so why support it?

Because it helps me convince new users to try it out.

I used to be able to tell people, "You can change your messaging app to Signal and it'll send secure messages to other people on Signal and you'll still be able to send text messages to everyone else." Seamless.

Now I have to convince them to use two different apps for messaging.

SMS sucks but it has a massive user base.

Their reasoning for removing SMS was that it was insecure and people didn't know when they were sending an insecure SMS or a secure Signal message. Loads of people suggested they just put SMS in it's own tab to differentiate them and that was dismissed like it was a dumb idea. Then they add "Stories" (a feature nobody is going to use because they don't have a user base for it) and put it in a separate tab.

I honestly don't understand why they think Stories, a feature that caters to social media users, is going to to be used by the new target audience (with the removal of SMS) of security conscious techies.
“just” is a subtle pejorative and unless you’re trying to be insulting, it’s better to rephrase what you’re saying especially if you’re getting negative reactions you don’t want.
He's really doing them all a tremendous favor, and he'd just like to see a little gratitude.
Maybe: Crypto is full of acronyms, token tickers are a great example and apropos here --> their names have been "tokenized"...?
I would guess that the sort of parents who let tots watch violent TV are lousy parents in a number of other respects, which would have a much bigger cumulative effect on school performance than the viewing of violent TV alone.
Keep at it... it's important to have multiple options, and I know the OP would likely encourage you to keep at it. Of course, make it open source as they did, if you can. :-)
More monetizable users doesn't matter if no advertisers are willing to monetized them for you.
"Abuse" is a leading term. It's possible to take drugs without it being an abusive situation. Almost everyone already takes caffeine daily and hardly anyone considers that abusive.

So therefore we should put substance usage into two categories: "abusive" and "safe".

"Abusive" substance use means that it's affecting either your health or your relationships. " Safe" substance use means that your life is generally improved and your long term health is not affected.

Of course it's a spectrum, not black and white, but it's a good starting point. Where a drug end up on this spectrum is a personal thing.

Marijuana, as long as it's not smoked, falls into safe usage for many people (not me, it gives me anxiety). Coffee is safe (again, for most people). Microdosing psychedelics may be safe. Likewise, occasionally using modafinil may be safe.

Treating conditions also falls into "safe" usage even when there may be some mild negative health effects - it's a tradeoff. One that is best just by a health professional, but that's not always possible or desired by an individual. I suspect that many workers who use amphetamines may have underlying adhd and they use it ameliorate that. Others probably just like the energy. In the latter case, as long as it's occasional and doesn't affect your relationships, this is probably ok. Amphetamines absolutely do have the potential to be abusive, but for many people they are not.
I think the implication is that by listening passively you can be an active participant. That is to say, speaking the problem out loud causes it to run through alternate pathways in the brain which helps the person sharing their issue resolve their own problem.

As with so many things in life, the hard part is working out if your actions should be motivated by actually helping or feeling like you helped.
For games, I believe Stardew Valley was a one man effort including all art and music.
Hi Eliza!
White doesn’t fully control the disputed territory but black controls it even less.

I’m rusty but don’t see why the few black stones in the disputed territory mean anything at all—as they aren’t alive. White should get the credit.

Also, yes, play should continue. That’s the best answer.
Yes. Bitcoin - It's cheaper, faster, simpler and more reliable.

It's not just faster on the front end. It settles pretty much instantly on the back end as well, so no counter party risk like in the case of using banks.
Books is just long blogs on paper. Films is just blogs played out by actors in front of a camera. Blogs is just...
Yes, it did. It’s down 95% from its peak.
> are you then justified to offer unsolicited advice, or do you have to just listen (i.e. be their outlet)?

You've exhibited what the book Crucial Conversations calls A Fool's Choice. There are other options. The recommended one would be to express to them the pain you have in always hearing it, and exploring with them their need to always talk to you about it.

They have a need, which is causing them to express it to you (perhaps in a suboptimal manner). You have your own needs, but are having trouble expressing your needs. It's a skill to learn, and it won't come easy, but it is learnable.

If you like this kind of thing, google Self-Adjusting Computation.

One advantage of self-adjusting computation vs. the differential dataflow approach is you can convert existing imperative code to it very easily. For example, a ray tracer with self-adjusting computation is written very similarly to a ray tracer without it.

There's a C++ library that implements parallel-friendly self-adjusting computation here: https://github.com/cmuparlay/psac

I see no reason why a Rust version couldn't be implemented.

1. We don't know what the lending basis for FTT from FTX vs the claimed value of FTT on Alameda's book. FTX lent FTT at $10 to Alameda and then FTT inflated to $50 would mean Alameda has $50 asset vs $10 liability.

It's reported that Alameda Research has $14.6 billion in assets and $8 billion in liabilities. Some claim that Alameda's assets are "entirely illiquid." Nobody knows how bad things are. The only thing is that FTX has stopped the withdraws.

2. Loans for long term and liquidity for short term? Like overnight lending.

Edit: add more info.
So what you're saying is better than most startups? At least this one has a naive technical premise rather than "disrupting [non-existent problem]"

Trying to detect nil pointer panics in go is a fucking nightmare. The compiler doesn't warn about it, and just lets it fly.
Totally agree, they went in presenting a problem and not a solution, to the wrong bunch of people.

Nobody wants to hear that, even if it's true, and even more so if it affects the company's bottom line.

There's two ways I see they might have worked around the issue. The fundamental problem with the project might not be workable, but firstly reaching out for a private chat with some of the participants would have shown the likely reaction in advance. Secondly, re-framing it as a solution space, might get more people to buy in.

Salesforce employee here. These were mostly the account executives who couldn't meet their quota. It's unfortunate that this is happening to AEs, who are usually the hardworking people at Salesforce struggling to close deals in a tough economy. It will be interesting to see what will happen to the random 'strategy', product and engineering folks who build over engineered, over priced, marketing bullock that doesn't sell.
You think it was Elon's decision to run Cent OS 7? Obviously this was done well in advance before he got there. Also migrating even lots of servers doesn't mean it is complex, if they are running things in containers or in k8s then the underlying OS is almost irrelevant and can be replaced rather quickly.
I think you misunderstand group therapy.

Tsunami is another good system in the US, unsure if they've been doing stuff since quarantine closed everything up. Analog in Brooklyn had a pretty wild SBS Slammer setup, but an ownership snafu caused that go away after only a couple years.

>But because I live in America, I have to either pay the cost to fix the problem or pay the ongoing cost of crime that the problem produces.

The "crime" the problem produces allow a lot of white men to put their kids through college, fooling themselves into thinking they are stopping "bad guys".

If you dont keep them busy, they would create far more crime than you think black folk do. They might even start storming the White House.

Pre-industrial societies have much higher infant mortality but for those who live to adulthood their lifespans are not that much shorter than ours. If you survived early childhood, your odds of getting into your 60s would be pretty good, and plenty of people made it into their 70s.

And many whales die of what we would consider old age - typically they get weaker and weaker as they grow old until they reach a point where they are unable to consistently swim to the surface for air, and thus drown. Pretty much what you'd expect if you flooded a nursing home.
Malnutrition is common in the west too, though it more often takes the form of unhealthy overeating. Lack of physical exercise and lives lived inside also contribute to poor every day health. You're right that sanitation and maternal health are better in the west, but those are things that tend to outright kill you if they get to you. The western style health issues are more constant and boring, leading to a different type of suffering.

Likewise with the institutional access and class system, the west has a more sort of guaranteed based level of societal support. But in India, chances are larger that you'll have a more local social support group of family and friends. In comparison the west is often much more isolated and lonely

Obviously I'd still prefer being poor in the west, but I think it's reasonable to say we also have forms of suffering here that are different in kind and sometimes worse than in India
a lot of skilled workers enter the job market at a reduced price, they have the know how to compete in the same or adjacent sector, medium company can acquire the competences at a reduced price, their profit increase their spending, etc etc

economics is not a single company

this is the tail of feds interest rate raise cutting down investment. it will last a while, but the economy doesn't yet seem unhealthy (well except some specific bubbles, but those have been there a while and if they pop will pop because they were bubbles, not because the secondary trigger)
Having worked at Amazon for well over a decade, here’s more or less what happened:

1. Product, in alignment with directors and VPs, have an overarching 3-5 year vision document

2. The document talks about “customer obsession” and a 2025 vision for “delighting customers”

3. Document has mostly fluff ideas, written by some MBA grad, on an H1B visa, who is feeling pressure to deliver a grand vision. Both to get promoted (eventually) and mainly to keep their job. If they get fired, they have 30 days to find a new company that will employ them with visa sponsorship. Or they have to move back to Hyderabad or whichever Indian city.

4. Document goes through several rounds of review, where this poor PM gets ripped a new one, many many times. In 1:1 with their manager, they are coached on having a thick skin and being able to handle verbal abuse and being made to feel small. Keep in mind, this person doesn’t really use Amazon Music themself. They just want to turn in their work, get paid, and go home.

5. Eventually, the product team aligns on increasing subscriptions X% YoY and increasing revenue Y%, by end of 2023 or mid 2024. Since we have some agreement already about to go in effect which will expand the music catalog, let’s leverage that. We’ll restrict the non-paid streaming option, and sell it as offering our premium customers (since that’s the metric we care about) more variety. Indeed we are “delighting customers” and “streamlining the music listening and discovery journey” <—- I shit you not. This is exactly how these docs are written.

6. This is reviewed and signed off by layers of directors and VPs. Keep in mind none of these people use Amazon Music. If anything, some of them might even have disdain for music.

7. The changes roll out. There’s an A/B test, designed in a way to not completely obscure reality but still give us what we want. End customers unhappy.

8. Product team works with technical team to look at specific A/B test results. Results show subscriptions are actually up. The measured increase is statistically significant. Music listening time is overall flat or increased slightly as well, but definitely not a regression.

9. Product team celebrates. Product team knows the product is worse off, customers are unhappy, etc. but the “metrics” we have show a win.

10. PM hangs out for several years. Realizes they can’t get promoted to a principal and leaves for another company, or they get annoyed with the whole visa back and forth process. They move to Canada and find some other Amazon team there, or they just go back to India once the initial stocks vest.

11. Cue the next round of MBA talent, looping through step 1.
For real? Like if in the course of a conversation, somebody brings up that they've been struggling with depression and have a hard time getting up in the morning, you actually interpret that as a request for instructions they can follow, in order to become happy again?
