It's funny how globalised the anti-globalisation populist political movements may be. Yesterday's news included "Reichsbürger" getting busted in Deutschland for conspiring to coup, and it was mentioned the suspects were also pretty QAnon-aligned. However, Reichsbürger are not indigenous, but are derived from US "Sovereign Citizens", who result from an amalgam of nuttery derived from XIX and XX conspiracies wishing to stand athwart history yelling "stop!": from those who thought the 14A is bogus to those who thought the 16A is bogus to those who didn't care for the Civil Rights Act, etc. Anyway, all these conspiracies apparently became more mainstream in the 1970s US because of the many newly embittered people due to the farming policies of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Butz .

(incidentally, our farming policy here is diametrically opposed to both "get big or get out" and "plant fencerow to fencerow", and we still have major political centre parties, as well as left and right wing parties. But that correlation may have no relation to causation...)
So my family has long described ourselves as nomadic. We just seem to get the wanderlust and want to pick up and move after some years in some place. I myself have lived in 5 different countries so far.

My great-grandfather (who died long before I was born) was a fairly extreme example of this. Shortly before WWI he decided to jump on a boat in Germany and immigrate to Australia (coming originally from the Baltic states). It seems like a fortuitous time to leave Europe.

I have a hard time wrapping my mind around that. His brother did basically the same thing (although in his case he was partly motivated by escaping getting conscripted into the Army). His story is fascinating too. A book was even written about it. He actually found an abandoned boat, fixed it up, made his own instruments and sailed to America in the 1930s across the Pacific Ocean because he always wanted to visit America.

I think about that and wonder what is it about some people who seem to be constantly restless while others seem content to staying pretty much exactly where they were born. I don't really understand that mindset but in some ways I envy it.

One of the most culturally identifiable songs to Australians is a song from the 1970s called Khe Sanh by a band named Cold Chisel. It's quite literally about a Vietnam vet with PTSD. it has a verse that goes like this:

And I've traveled 'round the world from year to year
And each one found me aimless, one more year the worse for wear
And I've been back to Southeast Asia, and the answer sure ain't there
But I'm drifting north, to check things out again, yes, I am

I think about that too.
If you want to have a Zig compiler written in Zig, you need to bootstrap it once initially. Cross compilation makes it so you don't need to do that again when you want the compiler to work on a different architecture. Of course, there's the question of why you want to self-host your compiler (instead of keeping the C++ one):
- dogfooding identifies problems & helps prioritizing
- it demonstrates that the language is suitable for serious projects
- most importantly, Zig developers prefer writing Zig over having to use C++
I find myself much more productive at home than in an office. Between long commutes and deliberately noisy offices, I can get so much more done at home.

Look at what happened in China over the past several decades, after the Chinese government embraced international trade and market economics. The average person there is much better off now. Hundreds of millions of people who had been trapped in subsistence poverty for many generations have been lifted into a much higher standard of living. It's such a drastic change in standard of living that it's indisputable.
There is a large difference between old vaccines and the Covid one in terms of trust.

It's strange the level of distrust in the west over institutions that the majority of the world find completely uncontroversial. It takes a village to raise a child, and in a world without villages families are the biggest support system most people have. I have a feeling this is another instance of the minority being louder than the majority.
The question is whether this is a better approach than just giving the LLM access to calculator / python-interpreter.
Which is fascinating, because while we know California is technically net-outward migration (people moving to other states), the demographic of people net MOVING to California is by people in the top 5%.

California is essentially gentrifying at the state level with wealthy transplants, pushing working and middle class people who grew up here out of the state.

I'm much more worried about...

Various ancient bridges near my rural home have been "saved" by local morons (here they might be called "hillbillies") who organize elaborate campaigns to demand that the highway department not close them despite their ill repair. In some cases an alternative bridge has been built nearby at vastly increased expense, in other cases it just means that only morons use the existing rusted-out (or in the case of the "swinging" variety, multiple-broken-planked) bridge, carefully driving so they don't drop a tire into the holes.

How a utilitarian object riveted together out of commodity steel in 1910 is such a triumph of human will that it must be imposed on posterity forever, surpasses understanding.

> I have nothing against MS.

I do. I've had Microsoft account hacked with no way of recovering it despite still owning the email associated with it. I continuously get email notifications from Microsoft stating that there's suspicious activity on the account but recovery is effectively impossible.

I won't buy anything at all that requires a Microsoft account to use.
Even for python there is pypy.

Bootstrapping is actually a very old tradition that any programming language must implement in order to showcase the power of language.
> @NotNull/@Nullable is not part of the standard lib, but is a de facto standard nonetheless.

Which one is the standard, the dormant JSR-305, the IntelliJ annotations or the checker framework (I guess that's the best candidate since it was actually accepted)?

> I found that defaulting to everything non-nullable (there is a setting in these tools which should be the default, implicit nullable or non-nullable)

Does this have a good cross-IDE support?

> gives you effectively the same null safety as Kotlin

"effectively", just ergonomically way worse.

But the main issue I have with this is that it requires you to actively seek null safety, pick a particular "standard" and push it through, ruthlessly enforce it during a code review. Which mostly doesn't happen. I've never seen a large codebase (which I would work on) which would use such annotations consistently. Yet unsurprisingly, all Kotlin code bases I've seen were in fact null safe.

Aren't cards completely orthogonal from bank accounts though? Is there an advantage that I'm unaware of? I have a citi credit card and use a local credit union banking account without any issues at all from either one.
Wait, this didn’t even rely on the constellations though. Get the latitude from the North Star and then look for matching air bases.
Nix/Guix users would think that way. They've alrady given up on the concept of system libraries or a unified OS. systemd's writing of 2 config files per timer would be right at home for people that have to set up an entire OS environment every time they want to try to compile something somone else hasn't already written a nix script for.
I think you're holding a (suitably) high bar and I'm still wildly impressed it got as close to it as it did. To me these seem extremely "synthesis-heavy" as opposed to merely fact-finding, which is what I would have seen as the more obvious/achievable task?

I do wonder if some of the first question is just that the answer an expert should give you is similarly equivocal (granted being more explicit about the equivocality) and we've just gotten too enamored with the idea of clear answers even when they don't actually exist.

Ok but like, we don't let the unlicensed drive cars either because that is you know, dangerous to other humans.

For the same reason the IP holder is entitled to a monopoly. The free market doesn't work without competition, and since IP law explicitly gives people monopolies, the only balancing force is piracy.

People in general don't want to pirate, but they will if it's the best option (just look at the often-cited example of Steam). That's the only thing keeping publishers in check. Without it, I'm sure prices for content would be much higher than they are right now.

Only if you want to die!

The standard highway speed is 15mph over the speed limit here in CA.

If you follow the speed limit, you’ll be going too slow to effectively maneuver or see incoming cars and increase chances of a crash.

Ergo: break the law or die.
One reason (among many) to do this is because compilers require complex and demanding source code across a wide-range of theory and algorithms.
And so make good tests for both the source language (is it sufficiently expressive to do this cleanly?) and for the various analysis, optimization, and code-generation passes.
They're only printing money because of the brand recognition and goodwill back from when they still made good games. That isn't going to last forever.
The fact that basically every platform has a working C compiler is why this approach works.

The benefit of this compared to the previous approach is that the developers no longer need to maintain a second compiler written in C++.

Ten miles is huge in an increasingly urbanized world. Within a ten miles radius from where I lived in 2017 there was some of the most expensive housing in the world and ghettos with weekly gang shootings. However the city I lived in is objectively regarded as one of the best places to live in the world: Copenhagen, Denmark.
From the headline and article respectively:

"Google Combines Maps and Waze Teams Amid Pressure to Cut Costs"

"...as the search giant faces pressure to streamline operations and cut costs."

"The activist hedge fund TCI Fund Management called on Alphabet to aggressively cut costs last month, writing in a letter to management that it thought the company’s head count was too high."

Are you suggesting that the WSJ is totally off base by drawing the conclusion that pressure from TCI, via this letter, is not the cause of the restructuring?
In my view it's tantamount to abuse, because ultimately what it does is erodes trust.

If you're shouting at someone to do something over and over again, eventually they just stop listening to you and try to get away from you.

The correct way is to explain to them the reasons that you feel it's good for them, or for those around them, and then let them make the decision.

Otherwise you're acting as a parent. You're not treating them as an equal.

I'm sure that some people will take issue with my specific use of the term "abuse", but it meets the definition as far as I can tell.

It even goes down to the point that people (who disagree) just stop talking about it completely because they're always walking on eggshells.

People flip out, tell you you can't go to XYZ or do XYZ, etc. It's just like, okay, whatever man, I'll say whatever you want me to say for an easy life. Doesn't mean I believe it or trust you.
I really like how when Andrew makes a decision about something related to Zig, he outlines how other programming languages do it and gives his thoughts.

My question is. I feel like Zig is trying to do a lot of things that GO set out to do. To reduce a lot of complexity of programs by removing hidden control flow, macros etc. But how will Zig keep itself from repeating the mistakes GO made that make people dislike it?

Personally, I think RTSs are way easier to watch. Its easier to understand what is going on at a base level (i.e. build an army and beat the other side).

MOBAs seem super confusing if you dont play. Its 30 minutes of nothing happening, and then like 15 seconds of people getting really excited and then the game is over.
Right. Someone is spreading known anti-science idiocy with a blatant disdain for actual science ("idiotic...restrictions"). The world is so awash in hard data disproving it that continuing to discuss it is like debating whether 2+2=4 or =17.

I provide a response citing some easily-found data that exactly answers the question, and the person persists in spouting the same willful ignorance, so I call it out and I'm the bad guy?

I see no any room for charity when someone is posting support for disinformation that literally kills people by the hundreds of thousands.

Yes, I understand that my response may border on too personal and there are guidelines against that. The site is also supposed to be a place for intelligent discussion, and baseless deadly disinformation also has no place here. So, ya, I'm not particularly patient

BlackRock has been promoting ESG, and Larry Fink has been aggressively defending it publicly. ESG is questionably compatible with being a fiduciary. What really bothers me about Fink is that BlackRock has been buying up every ESG consulting shop, and selling corporations on ESG and implicitly dangling capital injections as a carrot. I sincerely hope this strategy backfires.
Putting the earplugs in doesn't make tinnitus go away. But overstimulating my ears seems to aggravate tinnitus. For example, I worked for 9 months mixing my sister's CD, 6-8 hours/day. I liked the work, but there's no way I could do it for a career because it caused my ears to ring even more when I wasn't mixing. Earplugs give my ears a respite from high-frequency noise, which for me, over time, seems to calm down the tinnitus a bit; it lowers the volume if you will. It doesn't ever go away though.
It's not billionaires pushing up house prices but the middle class .. like me

I'm in the top 1% of UK salaried income and a family home is not affordable in an area I'm willing to commute from.

To buy a family home I'd be paying almost as much as a whole year of the UK annual after-tax s just in stamp duty (transaction tax).

Things have gotten out of hand.
What a horrid analysis!

50% of applications were asking for remote work in one of the positions that offered remote work (15% of the total LinkedIn openings). That's a 3:1 applications to jobs ratio.

So what!?

Saying "there aren't enough remote jobs" makes the assumption of a 1:1 match ratio: 1 job opening will be filled by 1 applicant. But that's never true. Forget about the remote jobs. What's the applications to job openings ratio for the ones that do not offer remote work?

> they regret writing their compiler in C++, and are too lazy to do a proper and optimized C rewrite

With coronavirus lockdowns and the Russian invasion later, I realised that one can quickly become trapped: locked accounts, useless money, no way to leave.

The tax office also froze my bank account once because of a mistake on their end. It lasted a whole week because of holidays. I could not transfer or withdraw money.

Since then, I transferred money for safekeeping with my parents abroad, and withdrew enough cash to keep me afloat for some time.

I'd recommend running strace on that journalctl command, you might be surprised what happens. It's even worse if you actually store journalctl logs on disk (most distros defer to storing it in ram). I have it set to store on disk and keep at most 1GB of logs

On my NAS

# strace journalctl -u nginx 2>&1 |grep open |wc -l
827

and curiously

# strace journalctl -u baked-potato 2>&1 |grep open |wc -l
827

(no i do not have baked-potato service on that machine)

It's DB implementation is utter garbage. It doesn't even organize files by time or really anything useful. If the binary database was a SQLite file with columns containing app name/log level/etc. it would actually be useful but current one is just shit.

Bonus round:

#:/var/log/journal echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
#:/var/log/journal time journalctl -u nginx >/dev/null 2>&1

real 0m3,232s
user 0m0,036s
sys 0m0,292s
#:/var/log/journal echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
#:/var/log/journal time ag -R nginx . >/dev/null 2>&1

real 0m2,531s
user 0m0,004s
sys 0m0,290s

slower than actually searching thru files directly...
Congratulations on this release!

If I have a Huggingface model that I've finetuned, can I load it using Bumblebee? I fine-tuned ConvNext and changed it into a multi-label classifier and saved it as a PyTorch model. It works great but being able to use it in LiveBook instead of Jupyter Notebook would be fantastic.

I think I'd have to convert the format, but what then?
Seconding this as my exact scenario too.
I consider myself lucky that my parents looked around and chose a place with many positive attributes, and they were able to make a living there. I haven't felt a big need to move from here, though I lived away during college.

Of course if I had a bad relationship with my family, or had wildly different interests/beliefs I would likely want to move away.
Dogfooding is not always related to bootstrapping. In fact, this is a reasonably common pitfall for language designers, because language implementations are very specific and if you only tune your language for them your language will of course need ADTs and generics and value semantics and GCs. Not to say that those are great, but you may have missed a whole slew of possibilities by doing so! And that's why you can do dogfooding without bootstrapping---you can instead have other big enough software written in your language and coevolve with it. For example Rust did this with Servo.
Congrats on the launch! Muito legal!

Alternatively to EXLA/Torchx, any thoughts on supporting an ML compiler frontend like Google IREE/MLIR by generating StableHLO or LinAlg? This could pave the way towards supporting multiple hardware targets (Vulkan-based, RVV-based, SME-based etc.) with minimal effort from the framework.

>Sony hasn't bought anything on this scale (and the scale of Bethesda) though.

Yeah. The biggest studio acquisition that Sony has done in the last decade was Bungie, that employs about 820 people. The next biggest would be Insomniac Games with over 400 employees?

Meanwhile Activision-Blizzard had closer to 10,000 employees, and Zenimax had >2000 employees.

The scales seem quite vastly different.
