I'm not ascribing anything but to say that people who are laid off deserve sympathy because you cannot assume their personal circumstances surrounding the layoff. I have no dependents so it doesn't matter to me. My friend's wife is only able to work because of his healthcare, and if she loses his healthcare even if he finds a new job quickly his new health insurance will force the wife into a nightmare of proving she's sick enough to get her medicine again, putting her out of work.
We do have "socialized law care" for criminal cases in the USA. That's what a public defender is. If you cannot afford a lawyer one will be provided by the court. That is a constitutional right.

Of course they are overworked, have insane case loads, and the best attorneys are disincentivized from becoming public defenders. The system definitely needs an overhaul.

But the concept that justice should in theory be available even if you can't afford it is well established.
> Don't assume the team is incompetent or deaf. Given what has already been achieved, that would be a total mismatch.

I am not making any such assumptions (and I don't think most sane people are either); people are just unhappy with lack of an officially standard solution given that it was clear quite a while ago that it was needed. I also don't understand the comparison with GIL or C API - changes to them could be a breaking change whereas a fresh officially recommended solution would by definition be a new solution i.e. not a breaking change. It can be introduced and it can go through iterations while people can take their time to migrate from the myriad of third-party packages (or not, if they are happy with what they are using).

What people, who don't want to deal with deciding between or putting their faith in longevity of third-party tools, are looking for is a solution that is official, part of the standard library and is managed by PSF. That way the decision is basically made for them e.g. like it is done in Rust via cargo.
DMV and crypto nonsense - two things that take ages and ages! :D
Japanese companies, such as Honda, have a history of using personal relationships and direct communication to get their products off the ground, such as in the case of Mr. Honda writing to thousands of dealers to ask them to stock his new invention, the bike with an engine, in order to help his company and the Japanese economy to recover.

So the problem is that I don't even know where to start... where to buy, where to experiment.

Say I want to hoist a 30 lb bicycle to hang on a 10 foot ceiling. The winch just needs to pull the rope (the pulleys are already installed).

For that, how to go about finding the smallest motor needed (that's also quiet, I love when motors are generally quiet and don't whine). DC Stepper motors seem like the right solution there.

> The real damage to their long term prospects was over-hiring the past 3 years and saddling their businesses with a major problem.

So, the real damage was the people who ordered to over hire (usually top-level executives). If any, they should be lay off to actually mitigate long-term damage.

Any kind of assistant can make mistakes. But a human assistant can be made to show their work and explain their reasoning to check their output. If ChatGPT says "this thing is totally legal" or "don't worry about that rash", how am I to validate it's "reasoning"? How do I know where it's drawing it's inference from?
Apple encourages destruction of mint condition Macs while pretending to be green
My own reason for preferring lightweight languages like Python over C++ for web services is not security but flexibility: it takes more code to do things in C++, and it takes more work to debug that code when the program is small. The things you get in exchange (mostly performance, since callability from an FFI is not a consideration) are often not worth it. Most web services I've worked on have a much harder time meeting the demands on their flexibility than those on their performance.
Depends on exactly what I'm making, the answer is probably different if I'm making like a chat app or something more data centric.

For something really minimal, an internal tool, I'd probably use grist. Grist is a "no code" spreadsheet program that is open source and works on a relational database. I just threw together an inventory management system for my weekly dnd group in a few minutes, and I've shared it with the group. I find the relational mindset grist uses a lot easier to reason about than traditional spreadsheets.

The next level up would be django with htmx. Very minimal javascript, I might embed a javascript "applet" like a map into it if needed. This covers 99% of data driven apps.

If I wanted to build something like say discord I'd probably use a pretty similar stack for the MVP, but with server-sent-events (htmx with server sent events is nice) and web components for more complicated interactions. That's probably why I'm not in charge for building complicated single page webapps with a lot of interdependent state though. I maintain this approach should work but haven't had a real chance to test it in the wild.

If I'm writing CAD software I'm probably going with QT/python/(numpy/jax/compute-shaders/sympy/etc). Python might not be the fastest, but when you're accelerating it with one of those machine learning libraries it can be really powerful. I've actually been working on something CAD-ish using that stack here: https://github.com/traverseda/PySdfScad

That's probably roughly the same stack I'd use for things like computer vision, machine learning, etc. Ironically anything where performance is important I'd probably choose python over a compiled language.

Mind you the QT python documentation is really not great, for a really minimal MVP I might swap qt out for pyimgui which is amazing for rapid prototyping but is going to be a real pain to do things like syntax highlight a text editor or embed HTML content.

Embedded electronics? Probably micropython on an ESP32 for an MVP. A REPL on your microcontroller is really nice. Robotics I'd probably use buildroot to build a custom linux distro. ROS is pretty heavy and I find it gets in the way a lot, but if you need ROS stuff obviously use ROS.

I don't have much experience with mobile development, so I'd probably end up using QT with python and pyqtdeploy, but that's not an approach I'd recommend anyone else follow. I'm keeping an eye on Tauri in that space, although I really wish they made it easier to bundle in things that aren't single page javascript web apps (like a python application).

So yeah, mostly I'd use python. Master of some trades, jack of a bunch of others, it's flexible and powerful enough that I feel happy to have specialized in it, even if deploying apps to end users can be finicky and annoying. I'd avoid the javascript ecosystem as much as possible, and where I'd have to use javascript I'd prefer to make self-contained web components.
1Password for sure.

The addition of the secret key that is generated locally on your machine and not stored at 1Password + your master password + 2FA like a Yubico Yubikey is quite nice and adds significant security over LastPass.

The teams based accounts also include free family plans, it's wonderful. My wife's work pays for her premium 1Password which includes free premium family vault plans for me and her at no cost to us. These are entirely separate and cannot be accessed by her work - but are included for us to use.

The "deliberate with money" is really the whole key. Once your income is greater than your expenses, you can work out many things to do with the surplus, but getting out of the "I will just buy this now because I need a bit of joy" is huge.

"The planet is overpopulated" is ecofascist propaganda—and, these days, at least aligns very nicely with the interests of the very wealthy.

There is plenty of room, and plenty of resources, for the people we have, and the people we are likely to have by the time we peak. The problem is not the amount; it's the allocation. So every time you think "this is only a problem because we have too many people," instead of "this is only a problem because there are a few people hoarding all the land/money/resources," you're moving away from being able to effectively solve the problem, because you're not correctly identifying the cause.

It would be a spectacularly shitty world where IP protection is only granted to entities with a legal budget that eclipses the GDP of Antigua, and not to smaller independent creators.

The ends of having an useful model like stable diffusion doesn't really justify just ignoring the IP rights of tens of thousands of creators who were already having a pretty rough time making ends meet. That's just a shitty thing to do.

I don't think this is the case at all. Companies are rethinking the future a bit and forecasting a downward trend more than initially thought. This means preserving cash and reducing burn. This has a trickle-down effect with other tech companies, as they will cut back on saas subscriptions.
>> I'm getting "nuke the legacy system without bothering to really understand what it does" vibes here

> Not really. Are you suggesting that it isn't pretty difficult to navigate the legal system? Saying something is wonky and needs to be fixed does not automatically mean "Anarchy Now!"

No, I'm suggesting that complexity may often have good reason. Without specific reform proposals, what you're saying registers similarly to "coding in programming languages is hard, so simplify it by coding in natural language!"

> You see this when buying a house. You end up writing a bunch of checks to companies and people and it's not clear exactly what actual necessary service they provide, but it's not like you can NOT do it. Their service is necessary because the real estate laws make it necessary.

Being ignorant of the value of a service doesn't make that service unnecessary. And honestly, I bet you could "NOT do it" -- if you could pay cash for the property. IIRC, a lot of that is actually required by whoever you get your mortgage from, because they know the value of it.

They don't. That doesn't make being laid off not worth sympathy, though! You don't know someone's personal life circumstances. It's not helpful to just presume they'll be okay and therefore it isn't worth advocating for better treatment.

Well, I agree that moderation is useful for communities. I disagree that moderation standards should be defined by a regulator. On reddit, different communities have different moderation policies. Same for various chat groups. And there are resources with no moderation, like anonymous boards. This is fine. If you don’t like moderation policy of your community, argue for a change or create a fork. But don’t involve the government in it.

This looks really cool! I wonder if it only checks for collisions in the current statefile/template, or whether it actually makes call to the cloud provider and checks for even external collisions there? Though I guess that would be very complicated to accomplish without writing tons of glue code.

That said, if you like infra-as-code and are scaling your usage to more people, I recommend taking a look at tools like Spacelift[0].

We're a CI/CD that's specialized for infra-as-code and integrate very deeply with Terraform, CloudFormation, and similar tools workflows. This way we can give you better visibility, security and easy customizability through automations that are tailor-made for infra-as-code use cases. You can ofc additionally also hook in tools like this one.

Esp. if you want a single team creating reusable templates and guardrails for the whole company, Spacelift can help you a lot, but it's very useful for any bigger group of people using IaC together.

A lot of companies do this just as a matter of course. They call it "trimming the fat", eg, laying off the bottom 5%, 10% or whatever percent of employees, in hopes the future hires will be higher performing.
I would only trust my PDFs to Adobe, Microsoft, AWS, etc: the big players, very well-known, that are not going to use the content of the PDFs against me. And of course I'd rather use something that runs completely on my laptop.

They’d all have had to collude in December for this to happen. Laying off people in large companies takes a sufficient amount of planning, and isn’t accomplished in days. They need to hire external consultants to help, even.
I think the questions raised about creativity by generative neural nets have pretty simple answers. Creativity requires a certain amount of thought put into it: A writer doesn't just mash other pieces of writing together into their own work—they think about how they want the audience to react and what kinds of things they could do to create those reactions. An LLM doesn't have a model of an audience, nor can it even account for the fact that its work creates reactions in any way. Instead, it just blindly reproduces the patterns evident in the material it's trained on. An LLM isn't any more creative than a Markov generator is; it just produces higher-quality output.

1000% agree. Overengineering things is the death of MVPs. But man this is hard to do in many real world situations.

Stakeholders and managers want you to keep adding incremental features. Never had a situation where they were like "okay, cool MVP, see you in a few months after you tear it down and rebuild it 'for real'."

That "build a fast crappy MVP" mentality takes serious buy in from stakeholders from day one. That mentality might be common in SV and other startup communities but boy is it tough to find elsewhere.

Just be completely transparent with your compensation policy. Copy-paste whatever internal logic you use to determine salary into the posting, that should follow the spirit of the law.

"Compensation policy: We're open to hiring at a range of experience levels. Our junior engineers make $90-100k. The difference between $90k and $100k is whether or not they have a degree, whether they demonstrate proficiency in our specific tech stack, and whether they have previous professional experience. We define a junior engineer as someone who has less than 1 year of professional software engineering experience. We pay a $10k premium to junior engineers living in the following high cost of living areas: SF, NYC, .... Our mid-level engineers make $120-140k ... ...

It's not that hard. Many companies have privacy policies that are many pages long, surely they can put the same amount of effort and detail into their public compensation policies.
