We did build beautiful things post war! A driving tenant of Modernism was to bring good design to the masses through mass manufacturing - better living through ~science~ good design (see eg MoMA's Good Design Exhibition [1]). If you are thinking chiefly about architecture, consider the Sydney Opera House or the Gateway Arch. If you are thinking about houses, consider the Kaufmann house [2] or the Stahl House[3].

The fact is that we literally do not design homes in the US; over 90% of homes were just built by someone. That someone does not stop to consider design, aesthetics, ergonomics or joy. House developers are more or less doing enterprise sales. They just go by a checklist and the developer with the most checks wins. "Upgrades" merely change the quality of the thing on the checklist (formica -> granite), but thats the extent of it.

I didn't expect Apple to actually do this. Kudos.

During the client-side scanning debacle I noted they'd have to implement server-side scanning anyway, so they might as well abandon client-side scanning. The wording still allows for server-side scanning ("raw byte checksum" is vague enough be a image hash or merely a CRC-32; I strongly suspect it's the former) - and I'm perfectly fine with Apple choosing this. Their server their rules. It's also the better technical choice IMHO.
is apple making a hardware key?
Yes, that's my point. It's another market, and while markets have a lot of utility they also tend towards bimodal distributions which disproportionately reward a very successful and visible participants while disproportionately exploiting a much larger group. A pure market system has higher entropy than one which features some redistribution.

And if you live in an apartment and can't work from home? You let your $2000 package sit by the door? What if the package you have been waiting for three months happens to arrive during your one week vacation abroad? The package will wait for you by your door? Does sound simple yes...

No, I do not live in the US.

> "There was no point in which you had to worry that maybe it would show up at a gas station."

Why on earth would I be worried about that? That is what I wanted! So much easier and quicker. What I worry about is what would happen if I wasn't home during home-delivery.

I actually have a fedex package on its way from the US to me right now. Thankfully fedex are nowadays sane enough to allow me to redirect it to a gas station pickup point rather than trying to deliver it to me at home.
These researchers are trying really hard to start a Quantum Winter.

It's already looking pretty grim, but lying about results is a sure way to accelerate the decrease in funding for their departments and bring about professional repercussions.
Yawn. The US is passing straight protectionist laws and most of the American fines for embargo violations are targeting foreign companies. At this point talking about reciprocity is a joke. If the EU had modicum of a backbone, we would straight up ban American companies from sensitive markets and put tariff on the rest.
This is very interesting. In a limited but substantial way, transplanting parts of the photosynthetic cell system could help with a lot of cell-centric metabolic deficiencies in people, from T1 diabetes to hypoxia in general. The delivery method seems to be cumbersome. But perhaps in the next decade we'll have CRISPR vectors that can deliver genetic information for organelles in a cell, and that could also help with rejection.

If your argument is that capableweb is wrong and that parallelizing experiments will make research faster, then fine? That's an argument you can make.

But either way I don't really see it as an isolated demand for rigor: capableweb is disagreeing about whether Neuralink's strategy is actually optimized for speed, given that thefounder seems to be arguing that optimizing for speed is a moral obligation.
As I said in the parent comment (and as confirmed by the other commenter), he seems to present himself as a conspiracy theorist. One of the first search results was an AMA he did on r/conspiracy.

But you’re right, I’ll move on. I might even give the show a listen sometime. I just prefer looking at things from a more mainstream perspective first.
I don't even think it's the complexity, necessarily. More of the fundamental instability of it all. Why exactly does Mac or Windows need to be releasing entirely new OSes every 2 years, except to maintain a new product for the demands of a corporate behemoth to chirp around. People have PERL scripts from 40 years ago that still execute fine, but I doubt anyone has a PowerShell file from the early 2010s that maintains behavior.

Not everything is a tech problem requiring a VC. This just seems like old fashioned real estate investing.
Those exceptions don't prove the rule. They prove that there _isn't_ a rule, but merely a high likelihood.

An exception that proves the rule would be a statement like "Parking permitted between 3-5 PM."
I ask to live-design a quadratic equation solving function (the basic method is provided for those who forgot it) and to discuss decisions done. It tests for edge/degenerate case awareness, numeric issues, experience with multiple results specific to a language, and for choosing a prototype that fits the bigger task.

I don’t care if it’s buggy, how much time it takes or whether the first scratch is any good, because it shows fundamental things every decent programmer knows or knows how to discuss and reason about imo. Unlike fizzbuzz, if you pre-solve this question at home and remember these details, you’re already good enough for the next question.

Or its more sane friend, control-x+control-e to launch $EDITOR with a file in $TMPDIR containing the current command-line, and then execute it when $EDITOR exits. BTW, I don't mean "$EDITOR" as a placeholder for whatever editor is your favorite, I quite literally mean the shell variable "EDITOR". Strictly speaking, $VISUAL has precedence but I don't think any system sets that one by default, whereas many do set EDITOR. I guess the one drawback to this comment in reply to yours is that the very bottom of that fallback tree is "emacs", but what vimmer doesn't already have EDITOR=$(command -v vi)? :-D

Talk to all the people you worked beside, below and above.

If they won’t turn you on to work, there’s probably a reasonable reason.

Working with peeps who know you and your work doesn’t require a resume.

And the first step for finding work is always seeking rejection - because that’s the typical outcome of a phone call - on the phone not writing a resume.

A resume is only needed when someone asks for one.

Good luck.
Very interesting. I'm now keen to write a very simple benchmark comparing the results of N goroutines leaning on the WAL lock vs in-app serialization.
According to this Stack Exchange post from last year a full IPv4 routing table requires on the order of a few hundred MBs of RAM. This is indeed a tiny fraction of the cost of maintaining the global internet infrastructure.

It's not a special right, you just have to do it within 2 hours.
If it bothers you, you can just turn off overcommit. It’s not hard:

$ sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=2 # policy number 2
$ sysctl vm.overcommit_ratio=0 # ratio = 0%

So here’s your golden opportunity to show us how easy it is to program against that!

I didn’t claim that it is not easy. I claimed that it is practically impossible. You claimed it was easy. So please, prove me wrong and just show us how easy it is.
Having the ability to keep money is multiple jurisdictions is something that an extremely small % of world's population could achieve.

First of all, you almost surely need to go to a trip abroad in person to create a bank account. (So, you need a passport, and money/time).

In many countries you can open a bank account only if you're a resident in the country (which creates a catch-22: can't open bank account without an address, can't rent without a bank account).

Stuff might be easier if you have a right citizenship (rules are relaxed e.g. in EU and you can open an account in some online banks abroad via a smartphone app), otherwise, good luck.

In any case, if you open an account in a bank, and you want to have any serious money there - more than $200 or so - you need to declare in which country you're a taxpayer, and your taxpayer number, and that country authorities get notified.

Also when declaring taxes in the country you're a primary resident, there's often a rule that you need to declare all your abroad accounts, equities etc. and if you don't and they find out, you can be fined $$$$$.

Hope is everything. The ability to sell yourself a story about future success determines a huge portion of the human personality.

If you stand in San Antonio, Texas, surrounded by shuttered shopping malls and half-built-and-now-abandoned projects, it's incredibly hard not to be cynical about the future. Sit in the cafeteria of Stripe HQ and it's incredibly hard not to be optimistic. No mystery why the political beliefs of both places match the on-the-ground reality.

The greatest threat to a stable society isn't economic collapse - it's the collapse that follows: the collapse of a belief that things can get better. The exact second you don't think things can get better, the entire game changes, and there is no reason to do anything other than help tear down the system that left you so hopeless in the first place.

It's not that we pay so little that people can't make ends meet. It's that life costs so much, and can be so good, that people can't make dreams meet.
Picture this article being written a vi/vim user; about all of those "freaks who use emacs".

At some point you realise the writer is doing the same kind of thing as the people described, their criticisms make a low effort to understand and declare the "other side" wrong, for reasons that are basically "I didnt like it".

From other comments here, I've since learned there is plenty to criticise about the speech, actions, behaviour of this individual, which is trivial to discover.
What you are saying isn't wrong, but when someone reads "abstraction is expensive", they immediately assume the implication "and hence you shouldn't use it".

To make an analogy: people shouldn't buy a sports car if they want to take their family of 5 skiing every weekend. A person might reasonably write an article on all the factors one should consider when buying a car. They shouldn't title said article "Cars are expensive", even though the reason they wrote the article is because cars are expensive and hence the choice is important.
I’m starting a project that requires a lower level language. Ideally I have tighter control of memory and no GC. I want to move fast and be safe. Go gives me the speed of development I desire, but is a little higher level than this project calls for. Rust is in theory the right choice, but my development speed is like molasses. Given I hope for this project to turn into a company I seek VC backing for, I’m uncomfortable investing in a tool that slows me down so early on.

How has Zig been for you in this regard? Do you have any regrets building your company’s flagship software around it at this stage?

After the disbanding of the morality police, they are about to find out what real brutality at the hands of the full police looks like.

The morality police was not some violent police force. They were a force who grab, detain, and deliver to another location. Actual punishment (even if rare) was never administered by them, but by a different unit.

This is what happens during a color revolution based on falsehood. Things become much worse.
Quoting Phil Zimmermann:

What if everyone believed that law-abiding citizens should use postcards for their mail? If a nonconformist tried to assert his privacy by using an envelope for his mail, it would draw suspicion. Perhaps the authorities would open his mail to see what he's hiding. Fortunately, we don't live in that kind of world, because everyone protects most of their mail with envelopes. So no one draws suspicion by asserting their privacy with an envelope. There's safety in numbers. Analogously, it would be nice if everyone routinely used encryption for all their email, innocent or not, so that no one drew suspicion by asserting their email privacy with encryption. Think of it as a form of solidarity.

I didn't mean that subjective is bad, but the way the article is written makes it sound like the author thinks there can be an objective view of what constitutes a good aesthetic. Also, I'm not sure I agree that "most" people think modern art is ugly. Haven't seen any statistics to indicate that.

> The Oscars are not decided by critics. They're decided by peers.

That's the Oscar nomination process: it's by peers.

The entire Oscar Academy (ie all previous winners in good standing) get to vote on the winners in all categories.

Which is why many in the industry consider "it's more important to just get nominated", & also why the final winners are often a popularity context. Many of the ppl voting aren't skilled in the areas being voted for. E.g. there's 4x more actors voting for technical categories, etc.

Great writeup. Minor comment about the portion of the post mentioning Conda being glacially slow: Mamba [1] is a much better drop-in replacement written in C++. Not only is it significantly faster, but error messages are much more sane and helpful.

I think you're being unfair to the audience. The main complaints here aren't about the consequences of those legacy problems, they're about the fact that IPv6 is just such a mediocre designed-by-committee protocol.

Your point about mobile networks kind of illustrates this. There are all sorts of weird and wonderful protocols used in the mobile world, and it doesn't matter because 99.999% of us never have to deal with it, and the 0.001% that do have time and space to become experts. IPv6 isn't like that -- it needs to be a consumer grade protocol that people can understand and work with. It either fails that test, or perhaps at best scrapes a borderline pass. We deserved better.
Then again, some of the leadership of those towns are so far gone that they take obviously nonsense Facebook posts, have their sheriff hold press conferences lying that they've verified the posts, and then expend a ton of time/money/energy looking for "antifa busses" while passing around far-right newsletters encouraging the police to prepare for attacks on officers by these same mythical antifa adherents. Also going so far as to express support for the Washington militia that terrorized the random family of campers who made the mistake of visiting their shitty little town.

WhatsApp recently added e2e backups (as an option) too.

I always thought the reason they didn't encrypt backups was as a way to remove pressure from security services to weaken the encryption. Better to let the security services go after Google/apple as the backup provider. And have an option to turn off backups for the security paranoid users.

I wonder why they changed stance...

> No, because in the context of a binary search you should be able to map everything to a positive integer. So if your question is "find the midpoint, so I can start searching there" your "midpoint" is not going to be a negative number in the context of binary search.

That's not true. Binary search doesn't map everything to a positive integer. You are incorrectly looking at the index offset, but the issue is determining the midpoint between two signed numbers.
