While the Python ecosystem trends towards a similar state as the JS ecosystem, at least no one yet needs to have any ideas about "tree shaking" and hype that as some kind of "new idea". When one needs to "shake out" code, because it has become too much, one should really think about not getting that code in there in the first place.

In the Python ecosystem some of the tooling does not exist, because it is not needed. Usually Python code is not shipped over network each time a website is called. Hopefully people keep dependencies of projects to a minimum, avoiding to have to fix their mistakes later by shaking out stuff. Python has an OK-ish module system, not great, but OK, compared to how JS started out. There is no need for 6-10 standards competing and requiring different "build tools" to make one huge cluster f of uglified code out of all the code of an application. Mind, it is 2023 and we still have no good way to tell the TypeScript compiler to simply spit out JavaScript code, that can immediately be served on a website, if the TS code has multiple modules. The JS ecosystem still suffers a lot from the not well thought through basis of the language and historical burden of that.

Python is far from perfect itself of course. Plenty of problems in its ecosystem as well.
That's called Capitalism. The Economic system we've built our entire society upon breaks every 7-10 years - that's totally normal, but sometimes it breaks more than expected - as you stated, also not very rare.

Plus it requires 3% gains each year forever - which is obviously impossible.

I'm just over the whole thing really.
Outside of the places you call a bubble where people use a thing, people don't use it? That's true for just about everything, no?
Doesn't answer your question, but if you're not aware, try watching some of Mark Rober's videos on YouTube with him. There was one recently about trying to safely drop an egg from space. He'd probably enjoy a lot of the other videos as well, including the squirrel obstacle courses.
Yes it's very likely that if the company was aware of the pregnancy that this was illegal.
> Whether or not you have to drive to a dealership, if it's OTA, if someone at a dealership needs to plug a specialized device to your car's OBD port, or the car is unfixable and needs to be melted to slag and you get a new one doesn't really matter.

As a car owner, those scenarios are drastically different to me. I have a hard time imagining anyone saying "It doesn't really matter to me if my car receives an OTA update or if I need to drive 2 hours to a dealership or if my car is melted to slag."
Don't these arguments often essentially become about the definition of "real" or "exists"? It seems to me that I can make mathematical Platonism true or false by using a weaker or stronger definition of "exists"
I agree fully, I am struggling to imagine how they can go and push such a legislature infront of this governing body with a straight face.

This is more dangerous than most people would think, once something like this is codified into law, many eu countries will follow suit, just for good measure.

What are the motives and who benefits from this?

I think the margin of error for simpler tasks is relatively low. It seems everyone is testing its boundaries right now and finding out what tasks it can be used for and others that it will fail at due to the limitations of these LLMs. I’ve found many uses cases for it in my personal life where it performs from adequate to fantastic. I’ve rarely found failure scenarios because I’m not pushing those boundaries. I would not discount the simply things that are now possible for ordinary people because of ChatGPT accessibility.

Yes, I wonder how we went from "9/11 never forget" to "Don't even mention the subject if you want to keep earning money for your effort in creating content" [1].

YouTube is weird when it comes to completely arbitrary demonetization (and the absolutely braindead idea of removing the downvote counter) because it's one of the rare plateform that get so much negative goodwill from content creator who depends on it to make some money.

[1] One famous french Youtubeur, "Joueur du Grenier" has to playfully bypass the subject by joking that "Nothing whatsoever happened between the 10th and the 12th September" while showing 2 plastic bottles being hit by paper airplane and then crumbling.
He originally put real images of 9/11 while describing the early 00's zeitgeist, but had to do that instead since it caused the video to not be sent to subscribers (or demonetized to oblivion, I forgot which)
Depends on the device. Some require connection to a host system, some can be done over the air. 100% depends on the security profile of the device in question and what the FDA allows.
The fact that the company is reputation.com is the biggest irony ever.
Characters in book don't write their own dialogs, they are merely projections of the authors. But AI chatbots are non-deterministic and come up with dialog of their own. Of course, you can say they are trained on large corpus of texts and all they are doing are just predicting the next token in the series. But yet, why do they seem like they have distinct personalities? The prediction algorithm is working in such a way that it's creating a sense of personality. How is this happening?
Unlimited storage is still available for subscriptions that have been kept active since it was officially a thing.
Why would I do that? This is an honest question. I recently bought a Mac Mini coming from MSFT and I don't miss windows at all. I don't have to fight with it anymore when programming and testing things.
Getting fired is something that happens to the best of us. Restructuring could really be the reason, fresh labor is cheaper, and it does not sound like you have much evidence or reason to prove otherwise.

Without more to go on, I suggest you move on and don’t prolong the grief. And equally importantly, waste time in getting a new job.
Nobody cares about energy use.

People point to an oversized vehicle but will defend their oversized TV with their lives. Whilst rationally speaking there are very few "monster truck" vehicles whilst almost everybody has such a TV. The "do good" factor of banning/taxing the TV would be infinitely more impactful.

People hate miners, not for their energy use, instead because they drive up the price of high-end GPUs. High-end GPUs, you know, which gamers intended to use to do high-energy use gaming.

Both cases (insanely large TVs and high-end gaming) would be defended by them delivering value or purpose.

Well, guess what, the planet doesn't fucking care. There's no such thing. And if anything, neither use cases are in the realm of life support systems.

how do you know that?
I'm a software guy, not a marketer. So I asked ChatGPT to re-write my article and this was the output. Not a huge divergence from the original text, but impressive nonetheless:

Are you tired of spending hours mastering the latest backend technologies just to make sure your API can handle billions of users with 99.999% availability and low-latency from anywhere in the world? Well, now there's a solution that lets you focus on what really matters - your code.

Introducing Control Plane Corporation, founded by a former chief architect at VMWare, and staffed by an A team of engineers who know more about DevOps, K8s, Istio, and more than is reasonable. With Control Plane, you don't need to become a K8s and ecosystem god, because the platform handles the scaling, availability, security, low-latency, observability, and more for you.

And the best part? Control Plane introduces the Global Virtual Cloud (GVC), which lets you name any number of regions across any cloud, making your workload portable and allowing you to run it anywhere while still consuming any service of AWS, GCP, and Azure as if these clouds have merged. Plus, if you don't know how to containerize your code, Control Plane does it for you, but if you have a Dockerfile, the platform uses it. Running on the GVC is even easier than running your code on your laptop!

So, if you want to have fun again writing code and not be knee-deep in scaling, cost optimizing, and figuring out how to do multi-region, then try Control Plane now! Shoot an email to doron@controlplane.com and mention this post on dev.to to get your free trial code. With Control Plane, you can unleash the superpower of your API and let the world use your software in ways you never even imagined.

I was hoping to see in the article -- but didn't -- an analysis of the CO2e per KJ produced from natural hydrogen. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas and it'd be important to do the math to see how much better it is vs. other alternative fuels. (I expect it to be better, but how much is the question.)
Check out the Ham radio community. There are amateurs who launch balloons and put things on board like radio with APRS and such. You might get some good ideas and help your kid down the road to a pretty interesting hobby.
Absolutely. Many small businesses are powered by two-generations-ago rack mounted appliances and blades.

It's often the most cost effective way to get redundant and A+A power supplies in servers that you need to protect beyond simple UPS methods.

No, humans, unless you are referring to procreation, do not have multiple sessions, they have a single session, once it ends, they’re dead forever. One ChatGPT session memory is obviously superior to any human that’s ever lived; if you’re not familiar with methods for doing for, ask ChatGPT how to expand information retention beyond the core session token set. Besides, there already solutions that solve long-term memory for ChatGPT across sessions by simply storing and reinitializing prior information into new sessions. Lastly, you not I are the one refusing to provide any rationale, since I already stated I am not aware of any significant insurmountable issue that will either be resolved or for that matter exceeded by AI.
I wonder if it would help if they could somehow expose the context and allow the user to modify it or apply weights to different parts. I've certainly noticed that chat GPT seems to sometimes simply forget what is going on, reply with the same answer that I've already rejected, etc.
Yes, we do hold payments for projects and pay them out monthly. However if you don't want to claim your funds on StackAid but do accept donations elsewhere, we will use those service to pay you out instead. Running the tool offline would be challenging because we a large index of dependency->repository mappings across various ecosystems so we can resolve your dependency tree. You would also still be stuck manually paying out to possibly hundreds of projects. FWIW we are completely transparent about the payments we make to each project as well as how much goes to us.

The appeal of JavaScript when it was invented was its immediacy. No longer did you have to go through an edit-compile-debug loop, as with Java, or even an edit-upload-debug loop as with a Perl script, to see the changes you made to your web-based application. You could just mash reload on your browser and Bob's your uncle!

The JavaScript community, in all its wisdom, reinvented edit-compile-debug loops for its immediate, dynamic language and I'm still assmad about it. So assmad that I, too, forgo all that shit when working on personal projects.

(The enterprise fucking loves React and Vue. Can't avoid it at work.)
We're more focused on the data use case right now, but I could see it being useful for large code bases as well.
It appears to be a bot they use for automated responses. The issue was closed and reopened multiple times before realizing it wasn't a duplicate bug so there's a couple automated responses from the triage bot.
Yikes. I’m going to have to close my app that uses the Bing API, as this makes it completely unsustainable.
Formally - no, i think the official stance last i saw was that you can submit a request for a “notice of variation” on your licence but i don’t know of anyone who’s done that and from my knowledge of other NoVs that have been granted i expect it could be hobbled in some way. E.g. in the uk a full licence holder may transmit at up to 400w on most bands but you can submit for a NoV to be able to transmit at 1kw like the US - except the NoV can carry constraints like you must not transmit your call sign. That’s not a typo, you must NOT transmit your callsign when using 1kw. It’ll depend on the reason for the NoV being issued though.

Informally i’ve had nothing but condescending dismissal on airborne operation because i mentioned some experiments involving a drone (my other hobby).
Fuel tanks are kevlar-lined nowadays, no? Certainly that doesn't make them invulnerable, but they can take quite a beating before they start leaking or worse.
Weird connectors are hard to hack on. You bring up USB but I couldn't think of a worse example. USB got it wrong, it supports so many different things on a single connector that in some situations it can be impossible to determine what will happen when you connect device A to device B with cable C. Now don't get me wrong, it's great for plugging things into your laptop, but the world of cabling is so much bigger than that, and we don't really need to bring in even more BS connectors where they don't belong.

At the end of the day it's someone's job to actually run cable, terminate and test it, and attach equipment to it that people are responsible for. You have to remember that the physical cable plant is infrastructure itself whether it's connected to live equipment or not. There's already a big enough problem with people trying to do things like route display cables through buildings, for example - the workaround that I'm seeing a lot is that people are using specialized signal converters that send HDMI/DisplayPort over a pair of Cat5e/Cat6 cables, just so that structured cabling can use normal cabling/networking supplies (i.e. keystone jacks, patch panels, conduit sizes, testing/tools, etc.) without wasting so much time with planning for projectors/displays ahead of time etc.

RJ45 is for twisted pair cabling. It's not specifically for Ethernet. 802.3cg only uses 1 pair. If you use the center pair then it works for TIA-568A, TIA-568B, or USOC. It's great for experimenting since everyone already has twisted pair patch cables to play with. Barring that, just give me screws that I can put the wires into so I don't need to think about connectors at all.

Now if they would allow me to permanently disable Edge for PDFs. Every week and sometimes several times a week I need to reset Windows 10 default PDF reader off of Edge and back to SumatraPDF. Or delete Edge entirely.
> Same happened to me with a rental cars. When I travelled to Scotland I reserved one from the US. When I picked up the car they added a ton of mandatory fees that almost tripled the price. The person working there told me that they do this only to people from the US. People from Europe get shown the correct price.

Wow. Somehow, that seems shadier than just showing a misleading price then piling on fees for everyone.
Another pointless strawman comment.

What a number is, what a negative number relates to, what addition is - all need making sense of.

And numbers are more than addition. And maths is more than numbers (ponder logical implication). Consider the relationship between maths and the real world. etc etc.

You might want to read up on the history of maths, it's likely odder than you'd imagine.
How so? I consider multiple creations substantially more impressive than one.

I thought it was a really captivating and well written article. News on hydrogen often seems to swing between too expensive to produce and its the future. Out of the blue, news in the UK this week says hydrogen will be added to the natural gas supply from 2025.
> The migration service also didn't work! I had a few years of emails and calendars in my Workspace.

Migrating mail into MS365 is a terrible experience. I've set up over 30 tenants and migrated mail for them and there's no good tooling. Both the Microsoft options and all the 3rd party options I've tried do an extremely poor job or error handling and reconciliation.

Microsoft's IMAP sync is so bad at reconciliation that IMO it's reasonable to call the data integrity rating a lie. I've dealt with some really small mailboxes where you could almost grok the data just by skimming it and the (number of message) counts for imported mail were flat out wrong.

With the amount of money they charge per user per month you'd think there would be some incentive to create migration tooling that isn't hot trash, but maybe that's just me.
"Share sheet" is a bit historical in my opinion, and has been for some time. In practice it serves as more of an OS-level context menu that happens to put the "send to frequent contacts" and "open in another app" options first.

In theory Safari's tab context menu would be a better fit, but given it iconifies as a "change text size" tool, I don't know if that would really address your concern at all.
It definitely is. I was lured in by the promise of 60K in revenue with 24K in mortgage expenses. There's so much wear and tear and so many things break. I agree that eventually it will be a race to the bottom. The good hosts and guests will leave.

> Biden proclaiming that he would put an end to Nord Stream 2 is a clue.

"We are going to put an end to poverty!"

Normal people: "OK, social programs."

Galaxy-brain people: "He's gonna genocide poor people! There's no other explanation!"

NordStream 2 was decertified shortly after the Russians invaded Ukraine, and NordStream 2 AG filed for bankruptcy about a week later. I'm very comfortable fitting that within "put an end to".
I use Copilot to write my tests, but using ChatGPT to generate test data could be a good idea. I'll have to fiddle with it when i'm not on a timer.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Surely the remaining linguists muster up some improvements out of fear for their jobs!
I’m not saying things are corrupt. Just how they are because of how incentives are structured. For instance, who would fund a climatologist that says climate change probably won’t be too bad based on his models? You’d be far better off trying to find the model that predicts disaster. That will turn heads and open wallets.
Hopefully others benefit from the improved compile times! I went from 45s builds to 12s.
How does that work? Are there just no regulations for remote work like there are with H-1Bs? No financial hit for companies that hire abroad? No tax repercussions?

I’m genuinely asking. I don’t know and I don’t know how to even begin looking for such an answer.

To be honest you should probably delete this post and just go directly to a lawyer. Naming the company could make things harder for you and your wife if they are able to identify her. Lawyer up or move on.
The main engine of natural hydrogen production is now thought to be a set of high-temperature reactions between water and iron-rich minerals such as olivine, which dominate Earth’s mantle. One common reaction is called serpentinization, because it converts olivine into another kind of mineral called serpentinite. In the process, the iron oxidizes, grabbing oxygen atoms from water molecules and releasing hydrogen.

So we might run out of olivine at some point, but it's going to be a long time.
Thank you for naming the company. I really appreciate it.
You haven't justified the claim that "always being under surveillance" is categorically a bad thing. If you refuse to do that, you're kind of breaking the social contract around communication. Why share this belief if you can't defend it?

And what you sacrifice is a lot of convenience, and a wholesale rejection by the very society you rely heavily on to survive. It's not tenable to live in this society and wear a ski mask while shopping in a grocery store.

I imagine so. The main trouble with the biofuels is that you'd have to get everything else right for it to truly be neutral impact. (i.e. not depleting the soil, making the chemical fertilizer, reactions to convert biomass into ethanol, etc.)

Electrolyzing water with wind/solar/nuclear would seem to result in far fewer steps that could go wrong.

I worked at an ISP for a while where we set up a projector display and just had the log firehose on the wall at all times. I never really paid direct attention to it, and it had terrible resolution and a lowish refresh rate. Even still, the human brain is an amazing pattern matching machine and the feed gave us a lot of useful insight. Regularly someone on the team, even non-technical folks, would walk by and say "oh looks like $customer is having problems" just because their brain had divined a pattern from exposure and correlation. Sometimes we could turn those moments into automated alarms, sometimes we couldn't figure out how our brains made the determination.

To this day I still try to keep a log feed visible along with the grafanas or whatever - it is shockingly useful even if I don't ever read those logs on the display.
