I would honestly find #3 a tough pill to swallow as well, and where do you draw the line? If I copy a line of `arr.map()` and use my own variable names does that count? Direct copying from SO can be bad generally but also adding all the license hoop jumping overhead just seems annoying.

The first two are fine though as long as there is room for interpretation, but if the person is pushing back every single time that’s just obnoxious.
Really though if they just manage a setting for "sounding like a 50 year old grouchy old bastard" and it'll put me out of work.

I think you are seriously overestimating the utility of these right now. It is not just about cost, they are more limited than wheelchairs in many ways.

Yeah absolutely agreed. This article is widely and wildly retweeted, but seems academically dubious. HN really has a problem with upvoting things that conform to it's worldview.
Generally, I view people who push back as valuable, but the caveat is they have to be correct or at least providing a valuable alternative viewpoint. If they're not, and actually just being lazy, then collect some objective documentation if necessary and get to work on firing them.
A few years ago there was a US Congressional Hearing [1] about how to handle deepfakes (OpenAI had a representative on the panel).

There was some deep discussion about that topic.

For example: even if all authentic content had an embedded steganographic watermark, how do you reliably authenticate recordings of recordings or otherwise degraded copies of authentic content?

Lol wtf work flow is that?

Man Mac iOS and osx are cooked af in workflows. Had a client recently run out of space on phone due to photos. Lol turns out apples sync is all or nothing. She couldn't free up space by telling iPhoto to not sync ancient ass shit, also extra iCloud storage. Can't use it while syncs on as your old phone only has 10gigs of space. Lol complete joke, told her to go rant at the local apple shop about it.

Predatory af and shite from apple. She can't even just plug phone in and strip the photos to a usb or external cus lol iPhoto/iTunes/apparently you should only do stuff how apple wants you to do stuff. Apple products are cooked af.

On and trying to find or free up space on the phone? Ahahhaha good luck, apple happily grouped 30% of the devices storage to "other apple apps" to with zero descriptors or indicators to what they were or how to delete them. Products a joke.
> It's curious that we don't advocate for storing blobs in relational databases anymore

That's exactly what I did recently on new work: migrated blobs from DB to S3. It significantly reduced load from the servers (and will reduce more, right now the implementation is primitive - just proxying S3, using URL will allow other services to deal with S3 directly). It solved backup nightmare (those people couldn't do backup because their server run out of space every month). I'll admit that backup issue is more like admin incompetence but I work with what I get. Having database shrink from 200GB to 80MB now allows to backup/restore it in seconds rather than hours.

I didn't find any issues with S3 approach. Even transactions solved by a tiny possibility of leaving junk in S3 which is a non-issue. Just upload all data to S3 before commit and delete if commit fails (and if commit fails and delete fails, so be it).
Some commentary...

- Without access to the article and the author's definitions, I have some concern about the use of the word "ideals" in relation to tolerance as tolerance is less a matter of ideals and more a matter of being able to endure what we regard as disagreeable. It's something like patience. We can't show tolerance or patience for what we regard as good.

- Today, we often construe tolerance as an obligation to accept and agree with ideas you disagree with (or else risk being called a bigot). Those who seem to be more vocal about the need for tolerance are often some of the nastiest people you'll meet. To quote Marcuse, "What is proclaimed and practiced as tolerance today, is in many of its most effective manifestations serving the cause of oppression."

- What, then, does this article say about our universities? Our culture? Where is the tolerance of people with political views other than those now practically sanctioned by the state?

- That cognitive ability should correlate highly with whatever is held to be an ideal in a culture is not especially surprising given that children who do well in school often do so because of how well they've conformed their thinking to what they've been taught. What is the difference between a child who receives high marks in a school following a curriculum laced with Nazi or Soviet propaganda versus one celebrating liberal or progressive values or something else? I am reminded of a story by Czeslaw Milosz in which he was addressing the problem of why so many intellectuals went along with the tyranny of the communist regime, and why he did not. His poetic answer was that it had less to do with reason and more to do with a "revolt of the stomach". What I take that to mean is that the "stomach" stands here for conscience (which is ultimately a matter of intellect, virtue, and rightly ordered will), and that intellectuals are great at rationalizing the hand that feeds them or threatens them if they do not possess properly formed consciences and virtue. If a certain understanding of tolerance is promoted in schools, then that's the version of tolerance I will expect most graduates to hold. You might even put on a show of considerate listening of the most absurd and obviously bad claims because you don't want to appear boorish and not because you're actually examining the claim seriously.

- While it's true that greater cognitive ability means a greater potential ability to examine claims, raw cognitive ability alone is worthless without virtue. You have to be honest, you have to have practice reasoning, you have to want to examine a belief fairly, you have to possess humility so you can know where your knowledge ends and therefore where your capacity to judge the truth of a claim ends, and you must not be swayed by ulterior motives like the desire for social approval or fear of disapproval. You should also have nothing to do with stupid, nonstarter ideas like skepticism or relativism or whatever else is used to justify false varieties of tolerance.

> How is Linux on a MacBook Air?

In my experience, older (pre-T2 and Apple silicon) models are relatively easy to get working.

I'm currently running Linux Mint 21 on an Air 2017 that was excruciatingly slow when running mac OS, and it got a lot snappier on linux. The drive is still slow, and I'd love to replace it, but the adapter that supposedly lets you connect an M2 NVMe to that silly we're-so-so-special-and-you-can't-have-an-M2 port didn't work with the spare drive I had on hand.

Oh, and due to restrictive licensing (on Apple or Broadcom's part) the wifi drivers and webcam firmware can't be included in the Mint installation media, so I had to bluetooth tether my mac to my phone to download and install the correct wifi drivers, and also had to download and install the webcam firmware manually.
Compile time code generation can be done in many ways.

Again, templates are not a feature that is part of the close-to-the-metal part of C++.

What exactly does template metaprogramming in C++ allow you to do that you could not do in Rust? In the context of performance critical code?

Besides, Rust has generics and macros. The latter are arguable as powerful (if almost as cumbersome to debug) as C++ templates.

After seeing great folks laid off from FANG, i would also question if you should care so much about these things. IMO, us SWEs tend to care so much about writing idiomatic code for corporate overlords when in reality the effects of mildly sloppy code won’t be realized for a decade, it’s okay to leave it to the next poor soul that has to deal with it 10yrs down the lane and just enjoy your weekend :-)
> I'm the tech lead but not manager of my current team and I'm responsible for the technical execution of the team and the success or failure on that level.

I’ve been here.

Resorting to authoritative measures (giving commands) is the only way. If you don’t need to pull the manager in, it works better. When they simply refuse to do the task you’ve agreed to and just do something else, you go in and solve their task, and you raise a concern with the manager. But to the extent that you can have the dialogue directly and make them sound spoiled will carry more towards equipping your own authority.

Ultimately, they are measured by their ability to solve problems they’re asked to in the ways requested.
Yeah, I'm generally more productive in a macOS-like environment too.

With how diversity and customization are such highly vaunted qualities of Linux desktops, it's disappointing that the most fleshed out DEs are all built around a Win9X-type paradigm, with the only outlier being GNOME which is what one might get if they tried to turn iPadOS into a desktop OS. Where's the DEs inspired by macOS?

One reason why I think reading great books multiple times is important is that it allows us to gain new insights and perspectives on the text each time we read it. Our understanding of a book can change as we grow and experience new things in life, and rereading a book can help us see it in a new light. For example, a book that might have seemed simplistic or shallow on our first read-through might reveal itself to be a deeply complex and thought-provoking work on a second or third read. Additionally, rereading a book can help us better understand and appreciate the author's intentions and the themes and ideas they were exploring.

There's still lots of desktop software that doesn't support AArch64, optimising for "just works" it seems a strange choice. Perhaps "just works (with a limited subset of programs)" seems more apt?

Making a comfortable dev environment on MacOS leaves my machine feeling like it's bursting at the seams...

I'm sure it's a great tool for creatives who want to loathe Windows with the rest of us, but for development MacOS has become more of a hindrance than a help. Even WSL2 feels nicer to use than baremetal Darwin deployment.

For what it's worth, Searle is a naturalist (so he thinks brains are "just" meaty machines) and he would also disagree with you.

> For example, is there any specific, measurable thing that you expect a future AI system absolutely will not be able to do?

Not sure how you'd measure this, but I think sentience is most likely unachievable by AIs (at least how we're building them now). This is not without controversy, as while Roger Penrose would agree with me, David Chalmers would not. I'm not actually sure when Chalmers pivoted on his stance (haven't read him much since undergrad) because he was a bit more hardline in the early 2000s[1].

> in the early 2000s there was a war on natural fats. Nutritionists declared all fat bad. We now know that to not be the case.

Saturated fats were and remain to be generally thought unhealthy (if we say things like 'all' or 'always', we're almost certainly spreading misinformation; the world doesn't work that way). Other fats (polyunsaturates and monounsaturates) are believed to be healthy or neutral. There is ongoing uncertainty and debate; the degrees and nuances change; we don't get sure, hyperbolic answers.

I'm not a grammar and spelling critic, but I'm going to be a style critic here (sorry to the parent; lots of people write this way): Hyperbole commonly leads to misinformation. 'War', 'all fat', 'nutritionists declared', 'bad' etc. divert us to an emotional, adversarial contest with a strawperson enemy, rather than into the pursuit of truth, whose object is always nuanced and whose pursuit is difficult enough as it is.

You’re definitely right about having a wealth of accessible information! The Internet was of course the next innovation since the Gutenberg press paved the way for knowledge transfer.

But The Internet is plagued with the disease of infinite moving adverts, and when we log in with the intent of performing some task, it is simply too easy to get distracted.

Not only is there supplemental content-oriented distractions—but form factor dictates the speed with which we read. Newspapers are indeed perhaps a bad example because the short columns of prose encourages rapid reading and potentially encourages misinterpretation. On a mobile phone with the delight of accessible, responsive websites, the shrunken column is now how we read articles of all shapes and sizes. Shapes that would traditionally be designed for a larger form factor, for slower rate of consumption.
Fuel prices are at an all-time high, and fuel companies are posting record profits. Rent is at an all-time high. Mortgages are getting insane because we have double-digit inflation and insanely high interest rates. Saving are worthless because of double-digit inflation and insanely high interest rates not actually being passed on except where it benefits banks. Food prices are at an all-time high and farms are going to the wall because they're being paid scrap prices for everything they sell.

Unemployment is at an all-time low? That's great, but people are working their backsides off and cannot afford to eat or heat their homes.

In the UK we have had twelve years of the right-wing extremist Conservative government and their "economic austerity" to "right the ship". What this has meant in practical terms is that wages have not risen in twelve years, taxes have gone up and up and up, and public spending has gone down and down and down. We had the woefully inept Kwasi Kwarteng who blew £60 billion off the UK's economy by raising taxes on the poorest and cutting them for the richest, collapsing most people's private pension pots. We went from roughly 40,000 people in the UK using food banks in 2010 when the Tories took power to 2.5 million people using food banks in 2022 - and these are not just "poor people" who the tabloid trash papers sneer at "well somehow they can afford mobile phones and TVs, why can't they afford food" - no, there are people on £30-£40k per year, who simply cannot afford to feed their families because they have to choose whether they keep the lights on, buy food, or pay their mortgage.

The political right have over the past 20 years done incalculable damage to the world.

For a company like Amazon or Google it makes more sense to shed people. It shores up the stock prices as investors like to see companies doing something to address the recession (cut costs) and gives them a chance to shed some weight also without looking bad to investors (eg. dump Alexa).

Facebook and Twitter are the above combined with pushback against social media platforms. They won't recover as quick or as well, but they are their own niche and not a good generalize-able representative.
So, compare the power efficency. M1 idles at ~6w + 2-5 watts for the display. The 4800u idles ~10w + 2-4 watts for the display. A simple node bump would close the efficiency gap between the two chips, at least on paper.

What is the difficulty with fish and eggs? I ask because I used to use eggs to deglaze my cast iron skillet. Cook something and then when I'm done cook scrambled eggs in it to soak up all the debris. As a plus side the eggs have the flavor of whatever you're cooking.

(To be clear, I'm really interested in what the issue is. This isn't meant to be asking a question as a form of sarcasm.)
What I don't hear is what you've done to understand their p.o.v. Some questions that you should have clarity on:

1. Why are they pushing back on it? Have you asked them what they consider up to standard? If they don't have high enough code standards and think it's OK to push crap, then there is a clear expectation gap that you should identify to them and tell them they are not meeting the bar.

2. Did they have any say in these standards? Sometimes you can turn an enemy into an asset simply by having them own a piece of the standard (and holding them accountable if that standard doesn't hold up)

3. What do they suggest in lieu? Maybe it's a stylistic thing, maybe it's a quality thing. Maybe they don't understand the difference, or maybe their impostor syndrome is making them defensive.

My summary is that you need to ask probing questions to fully understand their perspective. THis is difficult because they sound defensive, which is reasonable - your approach sounds a little like an attack due to your frustration. I can assure you they are frustrated as well!

Finally, keep in mind to set up the right context. When the light is red, stop pushing. Find a way to have an open and constructive dialog - you will have to bear that responsibility, but once you can find that, you will probably have better luck.

And document each of these steps, in email, to the person. Then when you go to leadership, you can share what you've done. If they ultimately just don't meet the bar or expectations, they should be let go.
