If only there were swarms of self replicating autonomous systems that can heal, recharge and defend themselves without input and adapt to new situations, while being stress tested for free for millions of years.

But I'm dreaming, certainly if it would have existed humans would have tried to leverage them a long time ago.

Couldn't rosetta (or other x86 emulator) do some static analysis and emit the instructions for computing PF and AF only in cases where there is a chance that they will be inspected? And not emitting extra instructions if nothing until the next instruction which overwrites flags reads the problematic flags. That way in most case it could use the regular arm add instruction. And only in the rare cases where analysis fails you would need the extra instructions.

Or are there some common patterns where making such analysis is difficult? Something like copying the whole state of status register for later use (don't remember if x86 even allows that) instead of checking flags directly. Although in that case you would need an extra code anyway to reorganize value so that it matches the strucutre of x86 flag register. I assume the order on x86 and arm is not identical.
> Accenture highlighted governance flaws on both the ASX and delivery partner sides, including “inefficiencies in the delivery lifecycle through to testing, with siloed execution and reporting resulting in misaligned views of status on delivery progress, risks and issues.”

Sounds like the problem was mismanagement. Let's not blame crypto for everything.

I'm not saying blockchain was the answer to their problems, but it could have been a sub $10M mistake if not for the terrible management.
So interestingly, they made that bet internally, standardised their own platform and then released some sort of abstracted on demand cloud compute services. However the tools they developed for themselves and the SOA style of development would have been valuable to others too. Google did the same. Netflix did the same. None of this stuff really emerged as a product. I'd argue it still hasn't. IF it had, maybe we'd be doing things a bit differently now. But then I guess proprietary RPC based architectures sort of failed along the way when we look at the list you mentioned.
Tracking stock ownership (at least in the US) is both messy and slow. And companies do either make mistake or do not honor their engagements (a la FTX, for example, by not actually having the stock and trying to procure it later when needed).

A blockchain solution can make settlements faster, final and prevent the current issues. It also means you no longer need a broker to hold your stocks/assets. More sophisticated users can run their own "wallet".

PHP is your friend.
Outside of the US, where people seem to have licked some lead paint or huffed glue when learning about unions, developers often do unionise or join an appropriate trade union.

Why?

Its a form of insurance.

Your Union will provide legal cover in the event of a dispute with your employer (eg: wrongful termination), legal advice, representation if you are dealing with say, HR department, and are super useful when engaging in collective bargaining to get a better deal when your company starts down the road of stupid policies (eg, limiting WFH).

Think of union dues as a small fee you pay to retain a legal team for employment problems.
We didn't use inline policies much, but we had many policies linked across different objects, and the error message never pointed properly and we somehow didn't stumble upon the docs you mention (that's going into my notes :D).

I no longer work on that project, but it was considerable blocker when I was leaving as Sagemaker notebooks started randomly failing to start depending on role they were launched with.
For one, you can't sell stocks that you don't have, like the Gamestop stock. Also you can own and transfer stock outside of exchanges, like the old paper stocks. Smart contracts could even be used for adding dividend and voting.
Okay and the other $245,000,000? Lol.
Helping your neighbour is a colossal waste of time and money in most of the developed world.

Accelerating the development of developing countries enables us to have more minds working on actually difficult tasks like curing cancer in all of its forms, managing and curing our planet, curing diseases that plague humanity, and finally advance our civilization.

If all the help you can provide is isolated to your local neighborhood, you are stuck with well off neighborhoods improving logarithmically with time and money spent because they are well past the inflection point, and everyone else struggling to improve because they lack the resources, and likely facing the same issues the well off community faced and solved before, enabling even more waste of time (and therefore money).

Local improvements do not propagate further if you are isolated, and thus you miss the big picture.

This by the way is a well studied phenomenon and is the core difference between "conservatives" and "progressives", where the former considers their local community, but the latter considers systematic improvements. From my experience, the latter understands that the issues faced by other communities are issues they could have faced as well, and therefore see it as their responsibility to help them.
I dream that one of these days, CSS will get a selector similar to `has()`, but that can target text content, not the structure. E.g. I want to be able to write something like:

article a :has_("click here ")

to select elements that are otherwise hard or impossible to target. Of course, I don't want to use it on the websites - I want it for userstyles, so I can swiftly and efficiently deal with the insanely bad UX of most of webpages, despite their authors making it hard to fix (often on purpose).

That, and I'd like some way to punch through shadow DOM, because as far as I can tell, elements in the shadow DOM cannot be addressed by userstyles at all, which prevents me from fixing annoyances in some webapps (looking at you, Gerrit).
Even if their comments were sincere they wouldn't be the first suit to have a limited understanding of the Pareto principle.

Also if there's a new CEO they are certainly going to want to clear out the cupboards, hence the call to Accenture (doubtless with some significant guidance on what the client expected in the report).
I don't respect myself as a dev and even I wouldn't use it.

> ... 100% coverage requirement of the codebase ...

Is 100% really practical? Probably in life or finance critical code.

What about those "should never happen" cases? Incredibly hard to trigger because you only know from gut feeling it can happen in some really weird way.

I know it would feel very nice to have 100% coverage, but my gut feeling is that it will also affect the code base in a negative way. Developers might skip catching errors that would be very hard to reach.
So we are basically back to SQL servers for data storage.

I meant traditional public school, it's what I referred to as "classical" ("classical" in a sense what I believe most of us went through), though I understand there are private schools that in principle operate in similar way.
Does anyone have a real-world example of where this is applied?

Nice to see a new feature that reduces boilerplate, buy I’d rather see a real case where it was useful rather than an artificial one
I suggest, in this discussion, to not consider a single company a real, monolithic entity, where everything works the same way everywhere on the planet.

I was at AWS 2008-2014, two years each in EMEA, APAC, Americas. I didn't contribute to code directly, but I built my own software demos (I was the tech evangelist for these regions).

My experience has been vastly different between these 3 "regions", and also when interacting with HQ in Seattle (which I visited very frequently).

There are certain things that unfortunately heavily affect the company - the internal tools were already considered quite bad back then, and I'm not surprised it hasn't changed much.

There are others, though, that in my view are even more important. I had a total of 4 managers, and three of them were amazing, average, and quite bad.

But in all honesty, I was probably not perfect all the time (real modesty, uh? :D), and it might be that the "bad" manager and me were just a poor match, or that I failed to understand things that made me perceive him as bad.

I will never work for someone else ever again in my life (I can afford to, both economically and career-wise; in fact, I just launched a VC fund in Europe), and I love that. But if I had to go back to a corporate job, my single best piece of advice would be: pick your manager wisely, especially if you're early in your career. Everything else is important, yes, but your manager is going to have a huge influence on how you develop, how happy you are, etc.

If you're curious, this is how I got hired by Amazon back in 2008 [0]. I find that post a bit naive in retrospect, but I also wrote it ~15 years ago.

> But it is ultimately trying to improve a horse and buggy rather than developing a spacecraft.

First, you're underselling it. 95% less pesticides is huge. If that's economically viable we're a LOT better off. I have my doubts since it's clearly a PR video, but still.

Secondly, the analogy falls short. The goal of horses and cars is transportation of goods and people, which is easy to measure and cost. Agriculture is about utilizing immensely complicated biological systems to deliver nutrition to people. We don't know everything about nutrition, let alone everything that contributes to making nutritious food. That's why we always look for minimal modifications to biological systems in order to tweak it to our liking. The same is true for say medicine; we don't design an artificial organ if we can avoid it, we usually aim for something like a simple chemical compound that triggers an existing response that helps the organ function normally, as defined by our existing biology. We may be quite advanced species, but biology is not exactly something we master.

> vertical self-contained (almost completely closed systems)

Well, sounds more convenient for humans, that's true. But if you take nutrition out of the system you have to replace it with something, which I don't think we've figured out.
I can understand the issues. Money is important to support some tools many already take for granted. But what is certain is that there is some conflict of interest here. Would be nice if the corporate sponsors were different companies...

The Linux Foundation is an industry lobby with special interests and copyright lawyers. That should be clear, although I believe they try to obfuscate that fact not only by choice of name.

Toronto woman applies for euthanasia after nearly a 10 year search for housing
I quit Amazon over a year ago with my managers encouraging me to stay. I was on a cross road of decisions between being stuck in an engineering work that intensify my depression vs taking the high road and hope for the best in uncharted startup territory.

Engineering at Amazon is not for a fainted heart, and internal tooling is definitely the source of most people's miseries. On multiple occasions, I had to fix external tools at the expense of making progress on my own work, in the name of exhibiting a "deep dive" ethos.

On another hand, however, I think Amazon is a good place to work for people who will eventually get into startups.
It was at a period when computers, especially small computers. were new enough that it made sense.

Sort of like custom fleet vans. or when people had to make their own electrical systems.
It's an open source textbook so professors will tweak it to suit the course they specifically want to teach. There may be parts of it that they aren't fans of or would prefer to be done a different way so they can make those changes they want and share the ebook with their class.

Ideally more classes would be able to do stuff like this but given the fairly "fixed"/closed source nature of most textbooks, this isn't really an option for most professors or courses.
Strategy Execution Myths and Misconceptions
Ah yes, actual hardened dangerous criminals finally facing justice.
In your example the if statements would be needed in any case, since they depend on external state. In that case the refactoring would make sense.

This highlights another big issue. You were riding your vehicle on the footpath. Vehicles of all types should be on roads, not a footpath which is for people on foot. But in many countries for decades the road has been an incredibly hostile place for any mode of transport other than a car. As usual the person with the smaller mode of transport suffers the biggest injustice, in your case the pedestrian.
Boycotton all recent x86 CPUs is probably not reasonable for most people. More actionable is to make sure you control the software (most importantly, the OS) that runs on those CPUs so that their user-hostile features are not used for DRM.
heh, control theory as applied to economics... this is really what MIT's system dynamics is/was about IMHO. Forrester's world model was an attempt at that.

NYT innovative use of tech helps people cope with emotions about politics
As a slightly older engineer, I believe there are 2 sides to the coin. Age discrimination can happen. On the other hand , older engineers don't always help themselves. In my last job, a colleague who was early 50s kept talking about 1980s TV sitcoms (which included various racist, sexist content that would at least come with a warning nowadays). This made him look like a dinosaur to younger colleagues. I generally find, younger engineers can sometimes play it a bit cocky and make out they know more than their older colleagues but when you show 'em a few old skool command line tricks or rapid edits in vim, and generally be a nice person to pair with, they quickly appreciate what you've got to offer, and the combination of youth and experience can be a great team dynamic. But its true I guess, people shouldn't have to get past initial prejudice based on age, and work harder to prove themselves, same as they shouldn't have to for race, gender etc.

SQL servers with JSON support that is ;D
Yeah but that’s not the case. You see a lot of the injuries because people on Reddit and YouTube and discord like to show them off, but in grand scheme of things most of these riders will tell you they were being idiots (like riding drunk at night, pushing 30 down a hill, trying to hop curbs at speed, ignoring pushback, etc), and many hop back on their board as soon as they can. The few that weren’t being idiots, well a fraction were lousy or inattentive riders and some fraction suffered a failure. What you’re not seeing is all the riders and boards with zero problems.
On one hand there’s a story which hints at an escalation that may lead to a world war which is understandably very interesting.

But on the other hand the story which would calm the potentially panicking population is not important? This is public announcement 101 and there should be huge interest in knowing that the world is not heading into a war (for now).

I personally think that the people in the previous thread are too embarrassed to post any more after they speculated and were proven wrong.
What drives me nuts is that, as far as I can tell, all the players get to keep their share of that $250 million. There’s no talk of sanctions, nobody seems to be losing their job, the board is still pulling down their fees.

So many large Australian institutions have been captured by consultants, snake oil peddelers and grifters, all with their hands in the jar. It’s embarrassing.
You might not be aware of this, there are 7 variations of ADHD and half of them are the pysch kind in that you have to up your L-DOPA dose to counter having to take 5-htp. Its the 5-htp that is part of the reason why medical treatments include the pysch drugs and in fact you can get off them.

They do not tell you that part for obvious reasons, but if you find the right doctor to explain the biochemistry of how they work it then becomes obvious.

Rhodiola is MAO inhibitors and so is Ginkgo, while 5-htp is the serotonin intermediate and corresponds to SSIs. Not to say that you need not to be careful, that still is required but with other cofactors consumed you can micro-dose.

Note, due to my understandings of what cofactors I need I do in fact micro dose L-DOPA as some recommend 500mg but I only consume 20mg daily.

Cofactors such as aromatic amino acids to increase tryptophan absorbtion across blood brain barrier including Macca extracts and fenugreek and Phenylanaline .
> If these AI models are suggesting the code that could be called in a library/module instead of the the code to actually include and call a well known and trusted library or module, I'm not sure that's progress.

I think the judgement call of when to use a library & what library to use is quite subjective, even for humans to get right.

If I'm doing JSON deserialisation it might suggest I use Gson library which would be much better than rolling your own. But the original authors are saying that you should prefer Moshi over Gson — I think it'd be hard for an AI to reach that conclusion though (though maybe not if it's doing something like tracking migrations in OS projects from Gson->Moshi).

With something a little more trivial — I don't want it to add in a dependency on left-pad, even though it has 2.5M weekly downloads so is arguably both well-known and trusted :)

You could probably set a threshold for how complex code is before it's suggested to be swapped out for a lib, but then is my code simple because I'm ignoring edge cases I should support, or because I've trimmed the fat on what I'm choosing to support (e.g. i18n, date handling, email validation etc.)
I'm not convinced vertical systems will every be very economic. It's much cheaper to just stick some seeds in a field than build some high tech building. Re letting the earth go wild, replacing regular meat with artificial would go a long way - a lot of the land is used to feed animals we eat.
It seems to me that the correct behavior to encourage braking from the user is TILT FORWARD, i.e., show that you are nearly at the limit but do it before you're outside of controllable phase space.
I really like this film, especially with my photography hat on. A lot of the imagery taken from the mind of the serial killer is actually based on surrealist art, and some of the cinematography is superb, e.g. the sequences filmed in the Namibian desert

The title is wrong and ridiculous, but the first sentence is true:

> “Social media as we’ve known it is probably doomed.”

For most people, social media increasingly means messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, etc.)

These are where people share news and photos, keep up with family, and do everything else they used to be able to do in peace on Facebook.

Social media products are starting to pay the price for poisoning the well with ads, news, strangers ranting about politics, and spam.
Or maybe for inland barges have some medium sized batteries, recharged at each lock, where you already have infrastructure, possibly with pantograph. There are already a bunch of these type of projects for buses with quick charge at multiple bus stops across their routes.

No need to install thousand of miles of pantographe cables above every canal. If the locks are too far, you can install the overhead lines every 10s of miles, on long straight with clear rules of passing.
