I would have agreed with you in the past. Now, I have to disagree.

>the web was hard to navigate and you relied on webpages "befriending" each other and helping you navigate to similar pages. That was real navigation and it had terrible recall.

This is exactly why internet was decentralized. A network of social connections between small online spaces people congregated in was essential to find what you wanted. It was somewhat of a replication of the old world - where in order to find an answer, you first had to get into relevant circles (eg. a local club, university, etc). You didn't just get an answer to your question, you inevitably had to sift through a lot of other content and learn about new places.

Google cut through all of that. Ideally, you could just get the answer you wanted, and not even see the rest of the site. The first order effect was that everyone's life get better. The second order effect is that it killed the old decentralized web, because random discovery nearly died down.

LLM are only the next step on this, but I don't think they change much. I think it's mostly going to damage reddit. A lot of reddit questions are an attempt to find an answer to something that google is too dumb to find - but llms may be able to.

The defense to this - are chatrooms, like discord. Sometimes I see people complaining that so much information is now 'hidden' on discord. But that's the exact point. Making information hard to get means people are forced to interact with each other. This creates incentives to contribute.

That's the future. Chatrooms may be replaced by voice based vr, hard to say. We already passed the peak of public information dissemination, and are going back to old style "ask at the university", just more decentralized and online.
> Btw, the panel is 50W

In their dreams maybe, that looks more like 40W sized poly panel, and it'll never get close to that unless they're driving it along the equator with active cooling on the other side.
> From personal experience, I am MUCH happier getting out of the house a couple of times a week.

You can still do that. My friend rented an office a five minute walk from his home - it costs him 3% of his salary.
Eh, I've tried rails many times just to ask myself what makes this better than laravel?

I mean laravel new app --jet (jetstream/saas features) gets me:

- authentication/authorization
- Including: oauth, tokens, 2fa, etc.
- queues w/ choice of redis, memcache, db, etc.
- cache w/ choice of redis, memcache, db, etc.
- SaaS dashboard w/ teams using something like phoenix's liveview called livewire OR vue + inertia
- If you use filamentphp you have the perfect backend dashboard, but without that you still get the consumer saas one with teams, etc.

The only package needed above is filament for the above, and that's to have a resource based admin that's just super easy - try a tutorial it'll take a day what it used to take a week to build. Everything else comes baked into the initial app.

Rails you have to pick a queuing setup, an admin backend, and setup devise, etc. Having auth baked in just makes things super easy.
I agree a lot with your analysis - thanks for sharing your insights.
This page is unreadable without clicking through a cookie popup that takes up the entire screen. Here's a tip: nobody wants "targeting cookies", and if someone belongs to the 0.01% that do, you can let them enable it manually, instead of using semi-dark patterns to have uneducated users accept all cookies without understanding what that choice means.

I understand some pages need advertising revenue to survive, and that targeted advertising brings in a lot more revenue, but Linode is not a blog, it's a cloud provider valued at almost a billion dollars. They don't need to do this.
Mmh, ok I could have sworn is was working for me on normal Firefox as well. Thanks for the correction.

If the kid is home then either office work was never an option, or there's another parent present. Just make sure you've got a separate room as your home office. (Admittedly not always possible with smaller apartments; this is the real additional cost of working from home.)
No, thats just a theory as earlier data cutoffs met the end point.

But since we know the strains have changed over time it seems the most reasonable explanation as to why efficacy has dropped off.

What follows is the most detailed account yet of FTX’s final days. It is based on interviews with people with first-hand knowledge of events, as well as court documents and extensive internal messages and emails, which have been minimally edited for length and clarity.

They show how a tiny group of millennial millionaires and life-long friends panicked and despaired as they ran a $40bn company into the ground.
I don't think there's any "weird setup", other than having a separate room for work/computer. It's pretty good insulator for all the interruptions. And of course, better coffee.

The additional productivity probably came from the added time per day and reduced fatigue from lower amount of noise (office room vs. open office floor). I don't think there's anything weird about it, I at least found working at the office very tiring since concentration was difficult and required energy.
Thanks for clarifying. Yes, I'd typically install a Rust program from the distro's repos.
Something like this

with open("beef.txt") as file:
lines = [line for line in file if "lasagna" in line]
print(set(lines))
This argument is all wrong.

1) Because science has proven time and time again the opposite. Suicide has a contagious component, so reducing access to it reduces overall numbers

2) Because your argument ignores all the cases where people could have been saved by rules like the ones social media implements. Basically if twitter didn't have those rules and you felt less isolated but 1 more person went ahead and did it. You would call that a success because there is no feedback form the victims side but there is from yours and your perceived social conection.

Suicidal people need help, tools, close human connections, and a society that is less alienating. All of those things are achieveable without removing the solutions we introduce to make an AI less prone to give advice on how to off yourself if asked.

This site was styled by YouTube comments
I created a video where any comment that was valid CSS would be added to the site without moderation.

I suggest that you have a look at the site. Its a testament to programming joy.

Early on someone posted css that added a trollface that would zoom across the site. I realized that allowing images inside the css was simply to dangerous so whenever an image was included in the css i would have to approve the css before it being applied to the site.

This video explains how the technical setup was achieved.

My theory as a film person (worked as a DoP, colorist and VFX guy) is that the grain of a film has three main appeals:

1. It simulates detail and depth where optically it may be lacking. This gives the imagination of the viewer some space to operate (think how pixel graphics in video games work)

2. The moving grain makes the glow of time visible. A grainy still picture of a empty room feels different than the very same image without it. The one without grain feels like a photograph.

3. Grain on an image can make the image feel like something you look onto rather than into depending on how it is used in editing. Just like the visible brush stroke in a painting it can be artistically desirable to make the viewers aware they are looking at a picture that has been made.

In the end more often than not it is just a matter of taste. Personally I like the feel film gives
I do something but on the computer. I issue `j w` on the terminal, which means journal write, to create a new time coded entry and open it on an editor where I copy the URL and any immediate thought I have in my mind. Most people will just bookmark and forget which I also do often. Anyway, we replaced a tab overload problem with a notes/bookmarks overload.

Natto. It’s sort of like the Japanese version of Vegemite. People who grow up with it, eat it for breakfast. Everyone else in the world thinks you are insane.
This is underselling the value of economic clustering. Even if everyone works from home, there are advantages to drawing from local talent pools (people know people and can vouch for their work, cultural norms make it easier to work together, there are less labour law difficulties, there is less geopolitical risk of parts of your team being sanctioned because you hired Chinese or Russian programmers, etc, etc).

All else being equal, the only reason to hire a distant programmer is to pay them less. From the firms perspective they can't easily tell if a distant programmer is more effective than a local programmer so it is a struggle (market-for-lemons style) to justify paying the same amount. If the costs are equal, may as well hire local.

It starts to make sense when you realise salaries are driven by the cost to replace an employee (including the risk of a bad hire), not the value they provide. Companies can't measure the value individual programmers provide anyway.
My theory is the compiler maintainers don't themselves use 90% of the language features they implement. So they can't begin to care how well they work for people writing other types of software.
Whoops you're quite correct! It needs an end anchor or something.
If your boss wants you to do a corporate hackathon why not have a little fun with it? We all know how marathons work, you need months and months of training doing shorter runs, cardio training etc. So for the 6 months before the hackathon completely stop your day job and just pound out leetcode style problems (at this point coincidentally, your weirdly well prepared to go interview somewhere else). Then once the marathon begins, start coding very slowly, It's important you pace yourself for the hackathon. Also ensure that your boss tells you exactly what do - marathons don't just let you pick your own route, you have to follow the exact route correctly. Once the hackathon is finished, take a week or two off to recover.

If you really want to push the boat out, insist on wearing a funny costume for it and go around your coworkers asking them for donations too.
Yes, the viral ‘Cocaine Bear’ movie is based on a true story (kinda)

I compare Bhyve often with Docker or Podman. It is a hypervisor and virtual machine manager. Basically you link a ISO and run it. It can be any OS.

There are several ways to run Bhyve:

- CLI
- Libvert and virt-manager
- vm-bhyve

A vm-bhyve template can look like this:

loader="uefi"
graphics="yes"
xhci_mouse="yes"
cpu=2
cpu_sockets=1
cpu_cores=2
memory=4G
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch="public"
disk0_type="nvme"
disk0_name="disk0.img"
disk1_type="ahci-cd"
disk1_dev="custom"
disk1_name="/path/to/disc.iso"

Hi, your job is rough sometimes, and hats off. Here is the one of the best arguments I have found here as to why the quality of this article is highly questionable:

> I know nothing of him, but given that there's an entire paragraph about Jens Stoltenberg where almost every sentence is just completely factually wrong in a way that could be verified to be wrong with a look at the first paragraph on his Wikipedia page, I'm not inclined to take what he says seriously.

This is something that could be verified quickly by you and others.

As other people pointed out,

manages to be twice false _and_ offensive in such a tiny number of words.
The real story in Israel is more complicated; the courts have taken power from the other branches; it's about time for there to be some kind of correction, and is often the case, the rebound might very well go too far in the other direction, ruining the possibility of a real system of checks and balances. Netanyahu himself may be going along with it to penalize the courts, but it's unlikely to help his court cases directly. The idea that it's supposed to somehow magically help him is a talking point for some of the political parties, but he would probably need some kind of new legislation to grant him immunity.
> It should be about the value I bring to the company, not where I live.

Tell that to the kid getting paid 14 cents an hour on the other side of the planet to make your $1,500 iPhone.
I think it is complicated because a large number of management jobs are "bullshit" (see [1]). I.e. they could be eliminated, and productivity would not be affected, or it could even be improved.

Remote work does an exposé on the usefulness of these roles. And of course, those holding them, would be eager for everyone to return to the office work theater.

Yes huge +1 to t3. Given how opinionated t3 is I wish they added (even if optional) more must haves like testing and background workers.

Sure, it's funny, but stealing is still illegal. In legal terms the technicalities of how you stole something is irrelevant. Self-scanning services in grocery stores, for example, are everywhere in my country; but willfully not scanning an item and taking it out of the store doesn't stop it being shoplifting just because you didn't hide the item from a human being behind a register on the way out.
Risk is also just a cost.

Being a shareholder requires capital, which the vast majority of people don't have.

Except the market ain't going to bear it, not for a long time anyway.

If I am a CEO of a remote-first company and it truly doesn't matter for me where the employees are located it makes no sense to overpay for labor in high cost of living area.

So if there's a company A that pays $X in high COL area, and $X/3 in a low COL area. And then there's a company B that pays $X/2 everywhere. Then people from the low COL area would go to the company B, and people from the high COL area would go to the company A. As a result, company B gets the same results 2 times cheaper.

Repeat this process enough times and the salaries will be equalized. Of course it's not immediate, there are companies rigidly set in their ways; there are people who won't move no matter what; there is limited supply of both companies and workers; etc, etc. But eventually the market forces will do their thing.
I’d agree with you that a sabbatical would be ideal. However, I’d say it’d be interesting if you make it a somewhat “active” sabbatical.

In your place, I’d read, exercise, or just dig deeper into something I’m interested in.

Personally, whenever I feel I’m close to burning out, I realize it’s not because of how much I work, but because of thinking I have no purpose. Choosing my own path gives me purpose, and that’s very helpful.

Maybe that’ll give you some food for thought. Hope it helps.
This reminds me of the old defense of OJ Simpson, that in fact only very few of men who domestically abuse their wives go on to murder them.

And yeah, that is true. But when the wife was in fact murdered, then the odds that the known abusive husband did it are very high.

Maybe it was a reasonable interpretation that he didn't mean blowing up the pipeline, before the pipeline was blown up.
This just feels like the wrong way around, I go to stackoverflow for stuff chatgpt can't answer. If anything, the right tool would be something which turns chatgpt threads into a stackoverflow question. (I don't actually think that is a good idea, just that it would make more sense)
People are living with it until they stumble when an innocent expression

(a + b) >= c

suddenly fails to work. For instance, in Excel the expression

A1-B1-C1 >= 0

returns FALSE when A1=2.03, B1=0.03, and C1=2. Such an expression can be used for instance to filter records that fall within a certain range, and that filter would produce wrong results.
Can you elaborate on Stupidus for those of us who have neither read the book nor been to Burning Man? Googling "stupidus" provided even less insight than googling "shirt cocker" (even with any attempt of context).

There's a dimly lit photograph of a stupidus statue as figure 11 in the PDF but that doesn't really explain anything either. Is it a character with a big penis and only wearing an upper body garment?

> That would be outright war

Uh, yeah, Russia already describes the current war in Ukraine as against “the collective West”.

> they don't need to threaten that at all,

Whether or not you think Russia needs to issue war threats to Western states, rhey’ve been doing it a lot inn last year.

> if it got to that point they might as well just nuke Berli

The point of a threat is to dissaude an opponent before it becomes necessary to execute on. Yhe threat. So other attacks that they might do if the threat fails don’t really effect whether the threT might be seen as useful. Also, Russia has made implicit nuclear thrrats to Germany, most, recently over the decisions to send MBTs to Ukraine.
Absolutely! Everyone is free to select among their options the one that they most prefer.

I'm French and I'm missing the Nord Stream pipelines. We need all the supply lanes we can get even if our neighbours are untrustworthy.

Now we have to rely on the US and there is nothing worse than relying on the US. Europe just showed once again it failed to learn anything from the Suez crisis. The US should never be trusted. They are not a reliable and only care about themselves.

Europe has been mismanaging its relationship with the BRIC since the end of the Cold War. We are too dependent on NATO. Not that there is much to expect from the EU. Every addition since 1995 has only weakened it.
GTP will free us finally. I'm serious about that.

Well, to be fair, erect pensises and depictions of intercourse are considered risqué if not pornographic even in most of Europe where you might see naked breasts on magazine covers in corner store displays.
I believe the US often takes stupid risks, despite having better options.

This is not an indictment of the US, it's just an assessment based on my own and other's extensive experiences with large, hierarchical organizations.
Yes, I live near a large park. I walk/run there every day, but the point is, the routine of doing everything alone (walking, shopping, working, eating) starts grinding on you.
a quick search on indeed.com reveals 78 elixir jobs (https://www.indeed.com/q-Erlang-Elixir-jobs.html) and 426 f# jobs (https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=F%23)

I’m sure some false positives, but I doubt enough that brings the F# count lower than that for Elixir.

ymmv
We do have nukes you know. Feel free to pack up, go home and never come back. Would be the best thing to ever happen to Europe.

Honestly Europe would be far more peaceful now without NATO. The US has mostly been a destabilising force for the past three decades.

Not really a fan of using ‘&’ as the concatenation operator instead of the traditional EBNF way. The examples show both ways with the TOKEN_SEP (? space I guess) not seeming to need it.

Also the string rules look like they don’t allow an empty string, maybe intentionally as that’s probably a bug in someone’s grammar.

About as far as I got on a quick glance, got distracted by the mathematical operators and other things like concatenation sharing the same tokens and started thinking how hard it would be to parse it.
