I would say the most annoying bit is around javascript. For example I would like to move a rails 6.1 project to 7, and also replace webpacker with esbuild. I'm pretty sure I will just create a fresh 7 project and start copy pastaing files over, then do the javascript stuff delicately (the default javascript setup in rails 7 is also quite strange)

But upgrading pure API Rails projects is much less painful
I wonder why they are even allowed to do 1). There are entire industries (like airlines, for example) which rely on negative working capital to operate at all.
Typically it requires being given to an IRS (in the US) recognized charity in exchange for no goods or services.
I’m curious about the brands you mention, as I haven’t heard of them too much. I usually just shell out for Anker stuff since it’s performed well for me.

Would you say they’re all typically good quality? Or am I reading you wrong and you’d like to see analysis of how bad they might be despite being popular?
Yes. Once we dispense with the cliches that aging is "natural" and "a part of life" and actually think about what it entails, we should realize that it's a horrible thing which we should be devoting substantial resources to mitigating.
I don't think you realize that it is the law that enables companies to abuse "legal" hoping-to-be-immigrants. And I emphasize "legal".
> They asked me to put together a pricing proposal prior to sharing ANY data on their budget, revenue, audience size, or anything.

To me that's a red flag, as quite often this is somebody with a mandate to collect competitive proposals after an internal decision / vendor choice has already been made.

This is extremely common, unfortunately...

Is the correct way to see this is that logic has to be specified in a finite number of terms? For countable families there’s some sort of meta logic like “for the Nth element I induct to that”?

I believe to understand that idea (since it comes up in real analysis to some extent, basically acknowledging there isn’t really infinite sums except as limits of finite sums), but is there a specific sort of text that lays out this idea specifically?
It is the US dollar's fault when people trust Paypal to manage their own US dollar?

So how many people do you assume in the US are throwing away everything they own to fly as much as we do?

And you’re also assuming airplanes are flying at 100% capacity. I can tell you out of the 12 flights I was on between business and personal the last two months of last year [1] none of them were at capacity.

Well keep in mind that it's not the rotation that's stopping, or reversing.

So far there's debate, but the data supports the core is spinning 0.1 degrees per year faster or slower. Other researchers think it's changes in the surface of the core (not the rotation). What we do know is that earthquakes show waves that travel slightly faster or slower than we'd expect if the core's rotational speed was constant with the rest of the planet.

But overall it's nearly in the noise compared to the other energies involved. The flows involved are turbulent and move like fluids, but at the pressures and viscosties involved they change rather slowly. Some models show it switching from slightly faster (0.1 degrees per year) to slightly slower ever 35 years or so.
> I don't see where I used the word "ignorant".

Maybe english is not your first language, but this quote of your literally means "ignorant of ..."

>>>>> Because you're choosing to ignore the growing threat of white supremacist violence to minorities all over the country,

That's where the word ignorant comes from.

> Yes, obviously by statistical cause of death, terrorism will always be a rounding error. However, the goal of terror is always psychological -- to create a culture of fear in which people are afraid to participate in society.

This is all way too subjective, and therefore not actionable. We cannot (and should not) exact punitive measures based on what other people feel.

We take legal action against perpetrators based on the crimes commit, not what crimes we think they may commit in the future.

All those harassment, abuse, whatever you said above, that's legally actionable and I urge anyone, no matter their skin color, on the receiving end of crimes to report the matter and legally pursue it.

> That, in combination with law enforcement insufficiently targeting white supremacist organizing, is primarily an issue of social and racial justice.

What do you want them arrested for? Being in a white supremacist group is not, last I checked, illegal in and of itself.

> Simply, it's unfair to expect demographic groups which collectively comprise half of the country to put up with this mess.

The "mess" is in your mind. You are in a minority amongst minorities.

Do you not also think that it is unfair to urge measures be taken against people who have committed no crime?
It's not just Android. I think every Linux device has this problem. I seriously doubt my TV has any of these patches for example.

That's not an excuse of course, but a lot of the blame does lie with the Linux devs and their general disregard for security. I suspect it is a major motivation for Fuchsia.
Interesting view, imo, probably wrong.

We imagine the "value-add" due to advanced cognitive skill is somehow "less real" than that which could be replaced with a machine arm.

Nah, it's pretty normal even in small-fairly-poor-town ~900 sqft houses that were absolutely not anything special at the time. You'll see whole neighborhoods built like that. Decent-or-better wood was just cheaper back then, and the labor to finish it was (relatively) way cheaper, too. All the houses would have these heavy, thick, solid wood doors that you don't see in new-build neighborhoods unless someone customized it or it's a very high-end neighborhood.

Growing up, basically all trim & baseboards in early-90s-or-earlier houses was solid wood, even in poorer neighborhoods, though by then solid wood front and interior doors were on the way out as features of middle-class houses. These days, you might see solid wood in one or two public rooms as a kind of highlight feature in upper-end McMansions, but almost no-one finishes e.g. extra bedrooms with solid wood baseboards anymore. They used to be standard for the whole house—you almost never saw anything else.

I've found that when I'm planning things I tend to use Google Maps, but when I get in the car I tend to use Apple maps. I swear there are little differences like Google instructions will be "In X feet... turn right" where Apple is "turn right at the stop sign" which is easier to follow.

> Using debit cards means that you need to keep a sufficient balance on a zero interest checking account in order to make transactions.

Many banks allow linking a savings account to a checking account as a backup funding source.

> Why would anybody want to keep _any_ amount of money in a non-interest bearing checking account right now

Conversely, why would any credit card issuer give you an interest-free loan for a month in a world of 4.00%+ risk-free APYs?

Leaving aside all concerns of repayment risk, somebody is paying for your interest-free loan already.

Depending on how you view it, that's either yourself (via 2-3% of credit card fees baked into all retail prices) or other credit card users that don't pay their credit card bills in full every month, or a combination of both.

Why would it matter to Microsoft? Paypal is an 'opt in' choice for people wanting to receive money, so if you didn't want to use paypal you didn't need to:

>Several of you have reached out asking why we don’t support certain platforms (including PayPal and Venmo) natively in FUNDING.yml, the file for configuring a “Sponsor” button on a repo. Great question!

>We decided to leave PayPal, Venmo, and others out of the set of supported platforms because there is a less explicit social contract for where the money is going compared to platforms like Patreon, Open Collective, Tidelift, and Community Bridge, to name a few of the platforms we do support. Those are community, creator, open source, or developer-focused—and they make it clear that you are supporting the work of the person or team developing code in that repository.

>We support custom fields so we can monitor funding methods we might not have known about, and iterate accordingly. Good news is you can put PayPal—or any other link—in the custom field, too.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the clear explanation and the link! :)

Think about it as a policy maker. You have a choice whom to blame - an individual or their environment.

If you blame the individual there is nothing you can do - we can’t change other people.

If you blame the environment now there’s something you can do. You can try to reduce supply by making it illegal (only works to a point) or you can try to reduce demand by increasing overall quality of life - housing, healthcare, and generally a way to escape the clutches of the rat race that is life in America for so many.
This looks very useful! I'm gonna try to give this a shot some time this week.
Counterpoints:

- Average person lives in a household of 4.9 people[1], which means market size isn't 5 bil but closer to 1 bil

- Plus, the household needs broadband internet, which rules out vast swaths of the world today, brining down addressable market further

- Many of the hundreds of millions of households not signed up are in markets like India, where the price is like 20% of the price in the USA or Europe; so a 100% increase in membership might only mean a 33% increase in revenue

- Further, if you capture the Indian and Nigerian and Indonesian markets, sure you have more revenue (say +33%) to spend on more content, but a lot of that content will need to be Indian content and Nigerian content and Indonesian content, so the actual increase in content spend relevant to you will much much less than 33%

In conclusion, I think a +500% increase in spend on content you're interested in is not a plausible outcome of everyone on Earth signing up for Netflix. It's probably an order of magnitude less, like +50%.

Spotify is overrated. Apple Music is the same, in the aggregate, and Apple's family plan allows you to share it with everyone.

Spotify also sells all your previously 'private' public playlists to other platforms and advertisers.

What is the official way that someone whose account is wrongfully frozen is supposed to get their money back? There has to be some answer, at least for US citizens or foreigners in the US whose assets are wrongfully frozen due to the effects of US law... every civil or criminal forfeiture law in the US provides some way for the property owner to challenge the seizure, usually involving filing or defending some kind of court action. I assume that it would be unconstitutional in the US for that not to be possible.

A dashboard for ERP software that made our life much easier when I worked at a warehouse (as a keeper, non-dev). It presented today’s tasks in a detailed list, created multiple cascades of documents with select-and-click, allowed to query qtys through omnisearch and to store cell addresses in unused fields for faster inventory. Our “terminal” was one of the quickest in a company, but nobody up there gave a fuck about some boy’s code. It was actively used by other employees for 17 more years after I left, also they asked to fix it a bunch of times after ERP upgrades. Proud.

A local webapp for doclinks, plans, motivation, remote project control. Sort of a self-launch dashboard. Most procrastinated WIP right now, wish I had it to implement it faster.
PayPal is roughly the size of Visa, e.g. in terms of quarterly revenue. It's extremely not-dead.
You have to be super careful with gems because every single one you add risks blocking you from updating rails. Resulting you either having to wait for them to get updated, or if they are abandoned, you have to remove them and rewrite all the code that depends on them. I've spent so long replacing all the code in our app which is built on abandoned gems.
I think you could draw somewhat different lessons from this, though:

- Cell failed because it required too much work and was too incompatible with any other platform (save for DSPs).

- Larrabee failed because KNC wasn't binary compatible and the toolchain was too much of a pain to work with, and KNL/KNM "failed" because they were too hard to get (although, I think "failed" is perhaps too strong here, the "lots of general-purpose cores with vector units" is exactly where Intel, AMD, and the aarch64 vendors have gone since). KNC's lack of binary compatibility is really what got things off on the wrong foot, the whole advantage it had over AMD/Nvidia GPUs was it amenability to GPU-unfriendly code, but I think the barrier of having to rebuild everything was prohibitive for many of the smaller users who would have been well-positioned to use it.

- NVidia "won" in the GPGPU space because CUDA and its libraries have provided a stable-enough basis for complex applications to use, and the underlying hardware has evolved to be ever more performant and capable.

- AMD "failed" in the GPGPU space because their toolchain abstraction is too weak and compatibility is poor. Unlike CUDA, there's no capable API that works on the whole range (even with OpenCL AMD's support is questionable at times, with two totally different driver stacks).

I'd say the biggest lessons are: (1) compatibility with existing code is king, and (2) toolchain and hardware accessibility is critical. You can survive breaking (1) if your tools are good enough, but you can't win by breaking both of them.
You are right that the argument boils down to what we take "by construction" to mean.

I will resolve this, simply, by saying whatever advertisement Rust makes for itself, is better made by any "dynamic" language.

And if we're inclined to trade PR against PR, Rust looses. Managed memory has better PR.

And so those repeating the Rust agitprop against managed languages are simply "NPCs for the wrong ideology".
Hell, maybe it is required by code in some places. I've only really looked at the plumbing of houses in a three-state cluster in the Midwest, maybe elsewhere more-conveniently-designed plumbing is normal.
The problem is that no matter how well you quote or encode the input, the assumption that any discernible instructions inside that input should be followed is too deeply ingrained in the model. The model's weights are designed to be "instruction-seeking", with a bias toward instructions received recently. If you want to make it less likely it through pure prompting, placing instructions after quoted input helps a lot, but don't expect it to be perfect.

The only 100% guaranteed solution I know is to implement the task as a fine-tuned model, in which case the prompt instructions are eliminated entirely, leaving only delimited prompt parameters.

And, thanks! Glad you enjoyed the talk!
> "gh pr" runs several git commands (5 to be exact):

Only the first two are actually important though (the rest smell like an antifeature to me in fact). I have them both as a single `git pr <remote> <PR>` alias:

[alias]
pr = !sh -c 'git fetch $1 pull/$2/head:pr-$1-$2 && git checkout pr-$1-$2' -

...and an equivalent for GitLab:

[alias]
mr = !sh -c 'git fetch $1 merge-requests/$2/head:mr-$1-$2 && git checkout mr-$1-$2' -

You could easily hardcode remote to be "origin" and get what `gh` does.

I thought we started with $15K? 30K you could do, but if it wasn't accompanied by other measures to control the amount of currency in circulation (vs just printing the extra money), I'd accept it would likely significantly devalue the currency, meaning that $30K wouldn't be able to buy as much. Most likely you're right that whatever the amount is, the taxation system would need reforming too, I'm just noting that it doesn't necessarily require increasing the total tax take (or size of government spending).

Actually, no. Had he been drawn to a programming conference, I wouldn’t have been able to draw a line between the dangers he’d been near and those interests.
