There's nothing wrong with settling, you can go a week without food but not a month. There's nothing wrong with working a shitty job or six, there's nothing wrong not working in your field and there's certainly nothing wrong with not having your dream job-do you really think all those guys who worked in the mines or built the railroad were worried about their dream job? No, what they were worried about was putting food on the table and making sure there is a roof over their head. Feed your family, put a roof over your head and then worry about getting a better job. The privilege that allows all these people to sit at home and not work because the job doesn't check all their boxes is astounding. I remember the Reagan recession and I just got out of college in time for the Bush I recession, I know what it's like when there are no jobs and it's horrible. A job is just that a job, it gives you money so you can eat. If you like to eat you need to work, how hungry you are determines how shitty of a job you'll take.
Or even better, a way of reproducing the work of Harmy's Despecialized Edition of Star Wars. You have a lot of frames of video in the blu-ray reissues that didn't really differ in content from the frames of video in the old laser disc, VHS, bad interlaced DVD transfers. I imagine it wouldn't be hard for AI to fill in the gaps to produce despecialized high-definition frames from the old Star Wars transfers.

In other cases, I'd imagine you could use old post production NTSC broadcast and the OG 35mm films to do something much more akin to how Star Trek TNG was updated, than a simple interpolated upsampling.
Or perhaps as an underlying OS for a game console with games that can also run on Windows PCs for a wider reach.

> The level of redundancy and HA built into our everything is why our jobs are so boring and slow

I have also done this, and I can't say I agree. This is certainly one issue but the real issue is that these companies are not run by tech people. The tech is simply another cost center and gets no vote on how things are run. Many tech firms have equal amounts of redundancy but still manage not to have such terrible software
Fully agree. Imo, it is up to everyone to find their own balance within their own lived experience. Maybe this Jarred person is doing what works in their own case, and I hope its working well.

No, the software dev has to outfit themselves with expensive computers, constantly changing software, and years of knowledge.
I've heard of ReactOS, and it's not what I meant—the 'pipe dream' was Microsoft itself open-sourcing Windows and all its components, from the NT kernel to every single tiny program in Windows, like the various MMC plug-ins, Aero shell, Explorer, Task Manager, etc.

It's highly unlikely, ergo 'pipe dream'.
So this article doesn't go into 'Unexpected ways generative AI will change how you work forever' instead is just an advert.
They certainly were third world countries. In 1950, South Korea and Taiwan had a GDP per capita comparable to Kenya, Ghana, or Cote D’Ivoire. China’s was lower than the Congo’s. China was barely richer than Bangladesh. https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Economy/GDP-.... Japan was more industrialized: comparable to Greece and Mexico. But the US was still five times richer per capita.

Put another way, France had six times higher per capita GDP than South Korea in 1950. Today the two are comparable.

Very well put and couldn't agree more. Boredom is as important as deep sleep for recovery.
I experienced something similar recently. In my case, I quit after some unpleasant exchanges with management that were an indirect result of burnout and a difficult work environment.

I would absolutely agree that folks should take burnout (and depression) seriously.

However, please stop blaming yourself entirely for the burnout. It's OK to take some responsibility for not being productive, of course -- any good person would do that in your shoes! But it's your manager's responsibility to give you a productive work environment. If they don't directly contribute output, that's effectively their only responsibility.

So keep in mind that you don't exist in a vacuum, and your boss could almost certainly tell that something was wrong... so unless you are very, very, very good at hiding burnout and depression symptoms, they knew what was going on and didn't fix it. Maybe your problems were too significant for a manager to meaningfully deal with (they're not a psychologist, after all), but if they didn't try to help, that's on them. Not you.

Given that you include it in your predictions, I would not put much stock in them. You're confusing domestic propaganda and saber-rattling with actual assessments of geopolitics. It's up there with feeling threatened by a communist Grenada.

As for Russia, it's been a year, and it's still having quite a time in failing to invade the poorest country in Europe. There's a colossal gap between how you think the world stands, and how it actually stands. Russia's a failing Potemkin village, whose only asset of note is 10,000 nuclear weapons.

There are only three kinds wars that will ever be waged between the US and Russia.

1. A proxy conflict which one or both of the sides aren't actually deeply invested in. (<---- As of 2023, we are here.)

2. None at all.

3. End-the-world Armageddon.

None of these are a good fit for the rest of your narrative. It's just a hodgepodge of political anxieties.

Regardless of what records were meant to be, they are designed in a way where they do offer encapsulation (which by definition means not only the state, but also the behavior of an object, and it does not mean that we always hide the state - only that we control the interface to it). Records can have business methods and can have non-trivial constructors, so they are basically a syntax sugar for special form of classes, not tuple structures. If you can use them to encapsulate certain forms of behavior, e.g. by declaring methods for state transitions, then with{} block will be a change in their interface. Do I expect that new version of language will change interfaces of my data structures? Hell, no! This feature must be designed as opt-in solution, following the example of Iterable and foreach loop and requiring explicit declaration of wither interface. What kind of declaration could that be?

Imagine uniform declaration of intent for records and classes like in this example:

public record Point with (int x, int y) {}

public class Order {
public Order() with (OrderStatus status, Instant timestamp) { … }
public @(OrderStatus status, Instant timestamp) { … }
}

Here we explicitly say that Point generally supports „with“ block for all fields and Order supports deconstruction to status and timestamp and construction of a new object with the same fields. This way existing code retains the interface but can be easily modified to support the new syntax.

They didn't update their website often , that is the main problem of people not knowing much about PyPy . But they had made CPyext compatible and works fine with several Data-science Libs over past 2-3 years . Even anaconda have a miniconda for pypy called pypyforge where many of CPyext are building fine with it and they have same performance comapre to CPython. ( Can't make C-Extension faster since they are already C anyways.)

I'm sorry but I can't help but conclude that you decided to bring in text shaping to have a reason for your counterpoint to be valid after my last reply.

As someone who studied typography and worked in that field professionally I understand the complexity of these subjects.

If you re-read my question it was about rasterisers. I.e. something that takes a bunch of lines, quadrics and cubics and draws a filled shape.

Everything else you read between the lines of my question but it wasn't there.
I'm not entirely sure what the first point has to do with the second - can you help me understand what Superhuman has to do with anything? It's just a gmail client at the end of the day, isn't it?

My understanding is people who want to keep their contacts have 1) a lot of them in the actual inbox 2) have their Linkedin to fall back on 3) can always fall back to exporting all their contacts when they leave.

Apropos of nothing, $30/month/user is roughly the base price of Salesforce, and they have 3 more tiers significantly above that. High for a consumer, but pretty cheap for professional tools, and they don't sell licenses one at a time.
The past year I upgraded my firewall and exposed a plex port. My new firewall gives me notifications and automatically blocks connections to the plex server based on common signatures it knows about. None of my plex users complain or have issues.

A couple provides I sent abuse complaints to based on whois lookups responded with automated emails requesting the info in X-ARF format. It’s hard to get some cloud providers to respond to a random residential user.

Good idea in an environment such as an assembly line where the same tasks are repeated over and over.

Probably useless in a software development project where the tasks are different every time.
Sounds theoretically possible. I mean it definitely happens at conception, and methylation happens at specific sites where it should, and not where it shouldn’t. So there should be a mechanism.

Even if it’s trickier than that, there are probably lots of ways to selectively restore the epigenetic information in specific patterns or specific sites that might help chip away at disease.

Do you realise that the Sun "threat" is not for another few billions of years (with a "b")? Dinosaurs appeared what, 250 millions years ago (with an "m")?

And there's more: the closest star, Proxima Centauri, is more than 4 light-years away. It means that if you want a chance to survive the Sun, you don't need engineering; you need theoretical physics. You need a fundamental discovery in physics to make that kind of travel realistic. At which point the engineering you will have put to go to Mars will possibly don't apply at all.

Again: there is no planet B unless you make a fundamental discovery in theoretical physics. People need to stop pretending that going to Mars is a need. It is an artistic performance. It is cool, but mostly useless.

I had the same problem as you. I had the same reaction to this post. It sucks man. Dating apps were not good for my mental health, so I got off them before I could become a bitter person.

I eventually found a gf outside of the apps, entirely by chance. I still do not see how I could’ve found her aside from pure random chance, so unfortunately that doesn’t help you at all.

Me neither, but I'm curious how useful it could be for code review (but only in open-source projects).
From the “Al Capone theory of Sexual Harassment”

> often people who engage in sexually predatory behavior also faked expense reports, plagiarized writing, or stole credit for other people’s work.

> Mark Hurd, the former CEO of HP, was accused of sexual harassment by a contractor, but resigned for falsifying expense reports to cover up the contractor’s unnecessary presence on his business trips. Jacob Appelbaum, the former Tor evangelist, left the Tor Foundation after he was accused of both sexual misconduct and plagiarism. And Randy Komisar, a general partner at venture capital firm KPCB, gave a book of erotic poetry to another partner at the firm, and accepted a board seat (and the credit for a successful IPO) at RPX that would ordinarily have gone to her.

I get the feeling they are rediscovering white collar crime, and how CEO of powerful organizations engage in a variety of unethical behaviors that come out in troves if you start investigating them.

Sure some of them also engage in sexual harrasment. But drawing the conclusion from there is just backward.

Another upvote for Discogs - just be aware that there are many pressings of the same record so you will want to actually look at the matrix and runout codes in the "dead wax" which is the innermost smooth part of the vinyl. Anything that you want to salvage can be deep cleaned with a "spin clean" or like I do, with an ultrasonic tank cleaner.

A warning - this can actually become a hobby. Don't get wrapped up in high dollar modern pressings unless there is something you absolutely have to have. The world is still bursting at the seams with old records that are new to you and can be had for $1-$5 each. If you decide to get a cleaner you can bring many of them back to life and you'll be surprised how good they can sound. Mostly just have some cheap fun!
I don't know if this is the case for anyone else, but for me when I would come home and sit at the computer working on personal projects, then go to work and work on work, I was burnt to a crisp.

Finally I started hobbies at home totally removed from what I did at work, knowing I would be bad at them. Knowing I could give up on them. Knowing there was no pressure to finish or be good at a thing helped me alleviate the pressure of work where I had to perform.

There is some kind of explanation (in a nutshell: the audience of the book is way smaller and niche than we'd like to admit and to be successful the show has to hit it with a larger crowd) :

> I have over the years talked to a few (quite successful) Hollywood screenwriters, just through an accident of what I do for a living (I am a college professor who researches topics that sometimes get me in the same room as said writers). I had a very nice conversation once with one of the guys who had written one of the more modern Planet of the Apes films (I forget which one) about the difficulty of making films that were true to source material. This was in the context of World War Z, whose film is literally the opposite of the book in many ways (the book is about how there aren't singular heroes that are going to save the world, the film is about how Brad Pitt saves the world, to put it bluntly). Anyway, he made the point that the only way in which an existing form of IP has any chance of guaranteeing some fidelity is if the fan base is very large and very important to the marketing or acceptance of the film. So Harry Potter had to be (perhaps painfully) deferential to the original source material. But World War Z did not, because the imagined audience was several orders of magnitude larger than the people who had read the book.

> Similarly I don't think Gibson fans were the imagined audience of The Peripheral show, since there aren't as many of us as we'd like to imagine, and even most people who have read some Gibson haven't read The Peripheral (such is my experience, anyway; I know a million people who have read Neuromancer and that's it).

> I was a little stunned last week when my exercise trainer guy told me he was watching The Peripheral, because he doesn't read books at all from what I can tell. (He's a super great guy, and great at his job, but reading is just not really his thing.) Which on the one hand is a huge success by Amazon — they penetrated the jock-bro market with this series — but also explains, maybe, why they made so many changes. Which, again, I think is unfortunate, because I think you could have had something that was more interesting (and, incidentally, truer to the book, which is more interesting than the show) and still had a fairly large market. Because as you note, there is actually a lot of reasons to think that more complex shows resonate with many audiences more than "more of the same" shows. Sigh.

Honestly since I bought bitwarden premium two years ago, there hasn't been a single relevant improvement to the client. It is basically not getting any UX love.

OP didn't say... But were they trying to access a single page repeatedly, or were they just doing a scrape of the web?

People who are doing a 'get all content on the web' scrape, I try to not block, because there are plenty of reasons to want an offline copy of the internet.

I try to make sure all my webapps have sensible URL schemes to prevent such (IMO legitimate) activities ending up doing an infinite crawl because for example the URL has a session identifier in it and the bot keeps getting assigned a new session.

I am analyzing their binary in a sandbox as I write this.

I was excited when I installed it a couple of hours ago. But suddenly my firewall notifications start piling up.

As soon as you install it, it downloads a large binary that includes the trained models and starts a web server on your computer. Then it phones home what they call "meta data", it keeps sending heart beat even if you opt out.

Basically the go binary on your machine is everything the tool needs. But before giving output it dials home.
