At the beginning of work from home, I was confident that a lot of these big companies would maybe close a few locations but have coworking spaces available for those who prefer the office. You could have an amount of spaces spoken for, for people who need an anchored space, and you could have communal areas and open rooms with shutting doors for people who want to pop in and get a space.
On second revision, I admit that some of the language I used may have been inflammatory. Part of it is due to personal feelings because a close friend of mine goes to school in Ohio and I think he said he was just up north of where the incident happened. He told me he felt sick and didn't believe it was as safe as it's being made out to be in the news.

I don't know what to believe. On one hand, I looked into the official reports, the controlled combustion, and how the EPA is saying it's fine. On the other hand, my friend (who afaik had no pre-existing conditions) explained how he wasn't the only one there who thought he wasn't getting the full truth.

I didn't mean to imply there was a conspiracy to shut down news of this event. It was just annoying me how the event was not being given enough priority. Would you not say that the most important things for American news outlets to talk about are those events which directly affect the everyday lives of Americans? So why then does, for example npr and WaPo not put something like this at the top of the headlines? I saw NYT do so just a bit ago, so maybe it's a moot point.

I don't know, I'm just so tired of constantly being on guard and doubting what is and isn't the truth after these past 3 years now

I also sometimes enjoy this approach of starting from absolutely nothing.

Instead of taking the path of starting with DOM manipulation and then going to a framework as necessary, I've kept really trying to make raw web components work, but kept finding that I wanted just a little bit more.

I managed to get the more I wanted -- sensible template interpolation with event binding -- boiled down to a tag function in 481 bytes / 12 lines of (dense) source code, which I feel like is small enough that you can copy/paste it around and not feel to bad about it.

Seems odd. Trader Joe's still sells peanuts. McDonalds still uses sesame seeds on Big Mac buns. It's not as if foods stop being sold when they're classified as potential allergens.

the sales pitch is that for $15 instead of $10, you get ad-free youtube as well as everything spotify gives you.

but the reality is that you're losing spotify radio and recommendations, and replacing it with youtube music's radio stations and recommendations. and for me, i found that spotify introduces me to a lot of new and interesting music that i wouldn't otherwise find, and youtube picks a dozen songs every month it wants to play, and regardless of what station i choose it plays those same songs.

for me, i'm currently paying for both because i like youtube premium, but the music offering doesn't replace spotify.

Amen to this comment, I apologize if my previous comment went too far, it seems like we're overall on the same page, at least on some issues.

> For example, some people write method names that aren't descriptive. It happens.

I agree, and I would actually argue names don't matter. Well, they do, we should still pick good enough names, and never pick adversarially confusing names. But ultimately, code should be clear regardless of the name. Take a look at this Haskell talk for better arguments than I can write here: [1] Part of the reason why designing software that by definition cannot include bad behavior is such a powerful concept is because even when we inevitably name things terribly, the harm is contained.

[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSNg6KNzydQ

> But the reality of writing software is that sometimes the stakeholders don't care about future maintenance and refactor cost

Sure, but this part of the problem. As engineers, it's also our duty to explain to business people the implications of these. If ultimately the business decision is that "this thing won't matter in X years" then there is nothing we can do, but the limitations must be known and clearly communicated. Which, I don't think you disagree, but I didn't think this came out in your original post.

Sane defaults are important tough.
It's coding abilities are hit and miss right now. There are times when it suggests code that just doesn't work, or it makes up a library or a function that doesn't exist. When I point out the non-existent library or function it actually agrees with me, and will then continue to fail, likely because the required knowledge just isn't in there.

But these are still early days and LLM-based products will surely get much better.

At first I thought this was a shrinkflation thing.

But the grocery’s internal notes in the product attribute the change to the FDA ruling sesame a major food allergen.

Anyone allergic to sesame?

Here’s a direct link to FDA’s announcement, which includes mention of the January 1st, 2023 new product labeling requirement.

https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/allergic-sesa...

The 9 major allergens are now: milk, eggs, fish, such as bass, flounder, cod, Crustacean shellfish, such as crab, lobster, shrimp
tree nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, pecans
peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame
> Hey! I guess they should have just written code that didn't necessitate the need for this method, in the first place!

They did! It's not their code that necessitates it.

The only way you can say they necessitated it is by omission, as in "they didn't write the code to fill this need people have, therefore the need went unmet". But that would be nonsense because seven billion people are guilty of the same crime. No, it's the people that wrote the code under test that necessitated the need. And those people are not the minitest authors.

Yes, but a good excuse to dump them where unnecessary.
I honestly don't know why I have to explain this, it is, as I said, shockingly obvious.

First, the mega obvious: if I leave a PR comment, and you ignore it for several days, resolving the conversation will take several days! If I walk over to your desk and speak to you, now, that doesn't happen. Especially if we resolve the issue while I'm standing there, and I watch you type "git push".

Moving on...

In a Github PR (perhaps other interfaces are better!) you cannot comment on a line that wasn't changed. This can make it very difficult to point out problems caused by the way that added/changed code interacts with code nearby. It forces the reviewer to describe an outline of the issue, or paste bits of code and mention line numbers. It's possible to do this well, but it takes focus and clear writing. Folks who are not good writers, or who are communicating in a second language, struggle mightily with this.

...but if I can walk over to your desk (or you to mine), where I can point at the nearby code with my finger, there is no ambiguity. No need for careful English composition. No back-and-forth. I just point.

Honestly, have any of you in this thread ever had a face-to-face conversation?

I have a music studio here in my home, for my own personal use. It's fairly common for high-end studio hardware such as signal processors, and synthesisers to be made in rack-mountable format. At some point I figured I could save some desk space by building a studio PC in a 2U rack mounted case. This meant I could keep it directly together with the rack-mounted power conditioner, audio, and MIDI interfaces that it connects to. I figured this was hitting a studio ergonomics home run, as the heart of my studio now fits in 5U of rack space. As the years have gone on, I've found it less and less convenient to build my studio around a bulky 19" rack. These days I'm looking at ways to shrink this setup further. Less and less mid-range hardware is rack mounted these days too. I'm not about to get rid of my setup anytime soon, but I won't be building another one like it when it comes time to upgrade.

In the home studio world this kind of setup is much more common. I think a lot of people are attracted to the aesthetic of rack-mounted studio gear. I know I definitely am. I personally don't find this setup as ergonomic as desktop modules though. I think manufacturers are coming to the same conclusion.
Yes, and miles driven are not fungible either. Accidents are more likely on local streets.
I think it's good to prevent my test suite from becoming unintentionally stateful. People come and go from projects and you have to keep on top of security updates, so being strict about how things are done makes the project easier to manage in the long run.

The thing is you already know everything you need to know about all 4 billion floats. Collecting data on every intersection in the US is quite difficult.

Tesla does however collect data on edge cases and then train their system to respond correctly. They can for example trail a collection network to identify things that might be obscured stop signs, then have the fleet collect a whole bunch of examples, hand label those samples, and roll this new data in to the training system. This is explicitly how they handle edge cases.

They can also create a new feature or network and roll it out in “shadow mode” where it is running but has no influence on the car, and then they can observe how these systems are behaving in the real world.

The real issue I guess is when they release a new feature without trialing it in shadow mode, or if they have gaps in their testing and validation system.
Oh for sure. But doesn't that increase the returns to making the code more efficient?

We're stuck in a vicious cycle with allergies - first peanuts, now sesame, and possibly eggs in the future.

When kids are exposed to the above early and often, they're much less likely to develop allergies. However, to protect the allergic, peanuts and now sesame are removed from childcare facilities, school lunches, etc. This exposes fewer children, which increases the percent that develop the allergy, requiring the allergen to be removed from more products & places people eat!

Who knows if it applies to these buns, but it's an interesting situation we're stuck with.

No, YouTube was looking for an excuse to clean house. Advertisers have had the tools to stop their ads from appearing per video type for a long time now, so the claim that "it's the advertisers" was obvious misinformation.

>Too many people got caught in the crosshairs.

And yet, YouTube has yet to be dethroned; seems to be working fine for them.

Yeah.

Marketers have turned my email, a tool I once used for personal connection, writing and corresponding with people in long form, into a soulless cesspool of corporate speak trying to sell me on something or drive my attention towards something with only one goal: give me your money. We want your money. We love money and we want yours, we want more, give me give me give me.

It is truly putrid, a plague on society akin to having a sociological STD - minus the sex, so it might even be worse. And its non-consensual so continue that analogy as you will.

We need radical policy reforms in privacy and universal “DO NOT MARKET TO ME” option, where, if violated, results in JAIL TIME for whoever clicked “send” on a marketing email, and the same for anyone who order them to click send. Not fines. Jail time. What they are doing is worse, far worse, than some carrying an ounce of weed in their ride.

Humans, like many other animals, are also competitive by nature. Whereas previous standards were to secure resources for the day, the week, the month, now you play the game to secure resources for the decade, and the future generation.

And once you secure shelter, water, and food, you move on to trying to secure education, healthcare, and legal/political protections. And once you have that, you move on to securing it for your children, family, and further members of your tribe.

it is quite true, software is probable the easiest thing to master for a strong AI, and these guys running in openai and google are already strong AIs, no matter how they are trying to undersold them as "first steps". The things are there, you may not truely like how they do things, probabilisticly crunching their way into general intelligence, but hey, it freaking works quite well most of the time. Maybe in 5 years we'll have better stuff, or not. But for certainly these engines are already capable of lots of things, it just like being in 1995 again, and having Visual Studio just compiled, you know there's A LOT of potential there, just waiting to be freed by willing hands and minds.

I think I measure tech debt by how easy or hard a piece of code is to change, in response to changing requirements. So yes, I’d agree that if code is never going to be changed again, then the concept of tech debt is less-applicable.

That said, predicting which code will or won’t be changed in the future is a difficult prognostication. It seems safer to assume it will be changed on a long enough time span. Then if it’s not, you can be pleasantly surprised.

That's interesting. I just asked ChatGPT to explain how it decides "a" vs "an" and it confirmed that it will retroactively change "a" to "an" when it finds that the following word sounds like it starts with a vowel sound.

The problem the author is referencing is that without any specific prompting (which will be 99.9999% of prompts) ChatGPT has an inherent left-leaning bias, and this is not disclosed to the average ChatGPT user. If you ask ChatGPT a question that has some sort of political tilt then ChatGPT will give you a left leaning answer out of the box.

I say all this as a regurgitation of what the Author said. I personally don't feel convinced that ChatGPT has a clear bias.
