Don't need them when your types are well-documented. Whereas when you pick bad types, you have to do things like remember to copy-paste that comment explaining what it is, and keep them all up to date. How is that a better solution than just once taking the time to create a descriptive type?
‘I didn’t steal funds’ says former crypto titan Bankman-Fried
A lot of the work is only because of the large size of the codebase. E.g. Forge and ObjFS, which is necessary because compiling the really large binaries on a normal workstation would OOM it. Or take days. https://bazel.build/basics/distributed-builds

If your codebase is "normal-sized," you don't need nearly that amount of infrastructure. There is probably some growing pain when transitioning from normal-sized to "huge," but that's part of the growing pain for any startup. You're going to have to hire people to work on internal tooling anyway; setting up a distributed build and testing service (especially now there are so many open-source and hosted implementations) is worth the effort once you're starting to scale. You're going to have to set that up regardless of a mono-repo or many separate repos.

It's probably only worth hiring serious, dedicated teams that work on building like Google once your CI costs are a significant portion of operation. That probably won't happen for a while for most startups.

Startup work is much more chaotic than established companies. It is much closer to my creative experiences of directing a feature film and being in a touring band than it is to my time at big software companies. Instead of having clearly set requirements, you have to figure out the requirements as you go, and it's different and unique challenges every day.
I find it baffling that the author asks himself a question that he already answered for himself (but dismissed the answer) a few paragraphs earlier.

The question: "What sort of roles should people who have received the call to this non-existent vocation be looking into to support themselves?"

The answer: "In the last few years our elites haven’t been doing a great job with this sensemaking stuff, and in many ways our shared reality feels like it’s coming apart at the seams."

The dismissal of the answer: "But there’s really not much you or I can do about that, now is there?"

To use the author's own words: Um, excuse me, what?
Blessed comment! :D

I appreciate if you're trying to be helpful, and hope you'll interpret this unsolicited feedback generously in the constructive spirit it is offered: I didn't find the callout helpful or useful.
Such a shame! I was really looking forward to a reactivated rail connection across that bridge.
That's _exactly_ what I'm trying to build, and you don't have to pay anything. I was frustrated with what I thought was a poor interface for Kibana, and having to deal with schema for Elasticsearch, so I built log-store. I appreciate any feedback!
Specifically, tenure is to remove the pressure that "you'd better be right" so professors are free to take meandering tangents through the solution space that don't seem like they'll pay off immediately.

The failure mode of tenure is that the professor just rests on their past accomplishments and doesn't do anything. That's a risk the system takes. In this case though, Geoff Hinton is doing everything right: he's not only not sitting around doing nothing, he's actively trying to obsolete the paradigm he helped usher in, just in case there is a better option out there. I think that's admirable

Public sentiment is what dictates how effective public policies will be. People will only agree to things, like getting a vaccine, if they hear it from someone they trust. Ignoring what the public believes, instead of educating and acknowledging concerns, is how you create the current strong anti-science sentiment across the globe. Vaccine hesitancy isn't isolated to USA, it's not even isolated to developed countries.

If the government makes guidelines about sailing based on the framework that the world is flat, but everyone believes the world is round, people won't follow them. Most people don't see scientific evidence in a unattached objective way or even look for boths sides. Most people don't make value judgments based on what's scientific.
I've been working on one: log-store.com It has a DB built-in that is schema-less, but it's really the frontend I've been trying to focus on, as I think the interface to Kibana is poor.

The initial research was done in yeast which was then able to be applied to mice so there is more than a small amount of hope that it will apply to other mammals.
Wonder where this idea of a Viking burial being this one single method came from. Burial mounds were quite common among the Norse, though perhaps the "viking" part of it is important here, because presumably we're only talking about bodies from people who perished while far from home.

In any case, there's no mention of this method on the wikipedia page for Norse funerals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_funeral
> M1 was a game changer.

The pandemic was a game changer, because everyone had to work from home. (Apple's quarterly results actually showed a huge Mac sales bump before M1 was introduced.) Now with the pandemic winding down, the tech companies are coming back to earth.

> airpods are more successful than most tech companies alone

AirPods are an accessory to other Apple products. iPhone and Mac set the stage for everything else.

That people are touting M1 now just shows how far Apple has fallen in software design. Mac OS X was vastly better than Windows even while Macs were still using the inferior PowerPC chips, before they switched to Intel. I would have never traded Mac for Windows just for a CPU.
Coinbase weighs Japan exit amid crypto headwinds
The Gnome/Apple way is also apps can opt out when they do their own scaling, such as browsers, and can just stream the output directly at 1:1.

The fix, unfortunately, is blame the hardware. Desktop monitors that don't approach standard DPIs shouldn't be still produced in the 2020s, 24" 1080p and 24" 4k are perfectly common and optimal for their intended uses.

And yes, I think 27" 1440p shouldn't exist... it isn't an integer multiple of 1080p (thus a poorly handled edge case of scaling rasterized media resources, ie, videos), but also, if you wish to maintain proper intended DPI scaling for ye average asset, 1440p needs to be 32".
Personally I think a representative system is more workable than a direct system for exactly the reason you've highlighted it's not feasible to expect every voter to be an expert on every issue, you need to be able to delegate the responsibility to someone better informed.

The idea in theory is that it is the full time job of the elected representative to stay informed on the issues and advance the interest of their constituents.

I think this probably worked better when electorates were more homogenous, going back historically to a time when towns (and the major districts of cities) were focused around one (or a limited few) key industries. During that time I imagine it was much easier for an elected representative to know what was in the interests of their constituents. Modern cities and towns tend to be quite diverse which makes it a lot harder for a single representative to adequately advocate for the majority of their electorate.

Maybe there needs to be some thought given to organizing electoral representation around something other than geographical area.

It is a difficult problem I'm not sure if too many other options have been attempted in the past.

I'm not an expert but I suspect the roots of current system with people in a common location electing a representative for their area evolved out of feudalism where you had a land holding lord in charge of all the serfs in an area. How did other historical democracies work? (I know Greek city states used direct democracy and I think Rome Senate had some kind of rotating system where people took turns). Outside of democracy I think some communists messed around with representation along class lines during the Russian revolution the soviet councils were organized with a representative from each of the soldiers, the peasants and the workers of the area. Some dictatorships have had 'grand councils' (and the like) but no idea how people were assigned to them, I suspect not in a representative manner...
I don't think this is just a joke, it's a gross overstep by liberal governments. We should rally together as conservatives and libertarians to ensure that we get the burial that we deserve - big government has to go.

> Nobody cares what your code looks like. Nobody cares what your architecture looks like.

Do I not count as somebody? ;)

> Now it's your job as an experienced and intelligent engineer to make quick, thoughtful decisions on how to get your product to where it needs to be so that your _customers_ can create more impact on their own business / lives faster.

Quick and thoughtful are often in tension. Sometimes you really do need to take a step back and take the 10000 foot view and think about your systemic challenges. It may be worth investing in a new architecture that will allow you to iterate faster and make quicker, better decisions in the future. The first instinct should of course always be to try do the smallest thing within the limitations of the current system to deliver customer value, but there are times when you are spending so much time fighting the system, that it is a wise strategic investment to rearchitect. It takes significant maturity as a developer to recognize the difference between this type of investment and hype-driven churn.

There are always going to be the kind of developers (often quite smart and idealistic but relatively inexperienced) who are easily susceptible to hype, discover a shiny new toy and want to rewrite everything in its image. This type of developer can waste a huge amount of time, both their own and of their colleagues, engaging in fruitless technical debate.

Also, it is not just the customer who matters. You as the developer also matter. If you hate the system you are working with so much that you desperately want to rearchitect it, you either should find a way to do that or leave the project/company regardless of whether you are able to provide value for customer.

my understanding is Nrwl's Nx is built by ex-Google employees, that their integrated repo style is based on the approach used at Google, and that it's open source (they make money with their paid build caching solution.)

Most companies aren't Google. So, the fact that they can't run the exact same tools doesn't seem like a real blocker when alternatives exist.

I've used Nx a bit before and intend to for my next project. Even as a solo dev initially, I'm optimistic it will help me keep things organized and catch potential issues with shared code via the dependency graph.

It's infuriating how Mozilla dropped the ball with Rust. Rust is successful, and Mozilla could have been the guardian behind the language. They gave away their biggest innovation in years. I installed Firefox on Windows Yesterday and walked through picking my culture-defining theme colors for the UI and then I made myself a stiff drink.

The genetic code is the same in every cell, a complete specification of the organism.

But cells are highly specialized. For example, you only grow nails on the tips of your fingers and toes.

This is due to what your pulled quote characterizes as organizational effects. The level of activity [protein production] of a given stretch of DNA varies wildly from cell to cell. Structural features are attached to the DNA that make it more or less likely to be expressed. What it would produce if it were expressed ("the code itself") doesn't change.

For this analogy, you can think of your genome like BusyBox: a single unified executable that will do wildly different things depending on how you call it.

I don't know. Life needed almost 5bn years to get to this point on Earth. Let's say we lucked out and it almost always takes 3 times as long. Then we look like early birds in the Universe.

What's more, earlier solar systems had a bit boring chemistry. We need a lot of supernova made stuff to really function so this narrows the time window.

You might think that near galactic core there's a lot of really cool stuff made but I think interstellar environment might be less stable because of that and maybe life doesn't even have a 5bn years of quiet time to develop there.

As an engineer (not a manager!) who does a lot of non-engineering tasks: this kind of misses the point. Don't get me wrong - if creating a GitHub issue helps you keep track of things, great.

But GitHub (and most other engineering tracking tools) are meant for relatively clearly defined tasks, and the input on those tasks come only from engineers. But a lot of times we deal with amorphous, poorly defined tasks that involve non-engineers. "Put it in GitHub" is solving the easy part of the problem. The hard part is identifying who are all your stakeholders, getting them onboard, and turning that task that is ill-defined into something well-defined.

We're a trust-based species.

Even if you're skeptical or cynical, you'll still fall for well-written nonsense if it remotely feels authoritative, sane, reasonable. Especially when not a deep expert on the topic.

The above effect is even stronger if you have prior trust in the author.

I guess the reason is that extreme distrust is an uphill battle. It costs a huge amount of time and cognitive load to discover objective truth, often for little reward.

Not GP, but I use versioned packages (npm, nuget, etc) for that. They're published just like they're an open source project, ideally using semantic versioning or matching the version of a parent project (in cases where eg we produce a client library from the same repo as the main service).
I had to look that up. Here's research[1][2] from 2019 about "why ice is so slippery", including some of the apparent surprises. I dunno. I'm not a physicist so some of the surprises seem like very minor things to me.

Spoiler: According to this research, ice is slippery because of a thin layer of water. (As we expected, no?) But the water layer is 1) thinner than expected, 2) more viscous than expected, and 3) contains bits of ice which help make it extra slippery.

See that’s exactly the kind of frustrating pessimism I’m talking about. You’re choosing to downplay what’s going well and choosing to highlight the bad and frame it as hopeless. I wasn’t talking about fluff stories of good news. There is actual, real good news.

The climate refugees statement has not happened yet, and the problem with treating it as though it has is exactly what you’re seeing in this story and in this thread: people start acting like there’s no nope and nothing we can do about it, when the reality is that we have time! The problem all along has been a lack of motivation, due especially right-wing skepticism and a concerted attack on public trust in science and government. Now that the skepticism is really starting to evaporate, it would be the most massive and incredible shame if we sat around moping even though almost everyone now agrees it’s real, just because everyone decided it was already hopeless and decided to be depressed about it. Some hopeful people are going to work on solutions, and the more we can spread hope, the more people will contribute. This is hopeful framing is still incredibly important right now, if you want the solutions to get funded with tax dollars! Keeping levels of public trust in government actions on climate change and keeping levels of public trust in science is really critical to avoiding the outcome you’re talking about.

Here’s a list of actually amazing things that happened, and this is just the very first Google result I got, the list is very far from complete, there are many more good things happening if you care to look around! https://www.positive.news/society/what-went-right-in-2022-th...

Startup work isn't necessarily more chaotic than established companies. Assuming we're talking about tech companies, working at a big company doesn't mean you have "clearly set requirements" and working at a startup doesn't mean you don't have "clearly set requirements." You can have a well-defined role at a startup or a fluid role at a big company.
> There aren't really any off the shelf monorepo options that scale super well

How can you say this when Perforce on a single machine took Google to absolutely terrifying scale? There is no chance that your mid-sized software company will even slightly tax the abilities of Perforce.

What I believe you meant was there aren't really any good options to make git tolerable for non-trivial projects, and with that I wholeheartedly agree. And that's why these threads are so tiresome: they always boil down to people talking about what git can and cannot do.
That makes a lot of sense -- thanks for contributing that nuance!
