I'm still not sure why.

The section doesn't really answer the actual question. It's cheaper, good enough, replacement parts are cheap, and I understand that argument; I myself use alternatively some kind of very old Thinkpad (that I don't remember the specs of), a 2011 Macbook Air, or a recent Macbook M1 and for what I do with them (little more than running Firefox and ssh) the only difference that matters in practice is their screens.

But replacing a Macbook M1 with a Thinkpad only makes sense if the Thinkpad is better in some aspects, not if it's just good enough. Otherwise you would just keep your somewhat better laptop and replace it later if you ever have to, right?
Well, datasette has some simple exploratory viz built in, and is easy to extend if you want something more complicated. At least, I have been impressed with examples on the author's blog that come up here every so often.

I agree it's not the same as something like superset, but it is still a useful tool that some people might benefit from if they don't already know of it.
Yes, there's a webhook notification.

Sorry for the snark in advance. Sounds like a justification/rationalization to me. Being able to persuade people to buy mass produced things they don't need makes you what exactly? Art needs to make me feel something, 100% subjective. A print of a can of of soup leaves me very unimpressed. Where is the Wow Factor?
I got a refurbished ThinkPad T470 for £200 and it is like new. May need to add more RAM (came with 8GB), but that's it.

I don't really need to upgrade my hw often, only when it breaks and it is clear it was so outdated is not worth repairing it. OK, it all depends on your requirements, but I don't see myself buying a new laptop ever again. Both because price and cost to the environment.
If the destination is Azure, why Cloudflare workers instead of Azure Functions?
+1 Screen resolution is the top reason I stick with Macs. Once you gone retina, there's no going back and modern cellphones only reinforce this. It could be my aging eyesight, but I don't remember the last time I saw a pixel.

Gamer laptops have the resolution but the price & weight are silly.

Would love to be wrong - macos just feels klunky for linux development (slow homebrew, annoying docker, constant reminders to connect to apple cloud, etc).
Being realistic here, 3rd party provider for data handling will be a no-go for many firms, for infosec reasons. Whereas a hub with no ui might also be a no-go for convenience reasons. I understand that oxenhub is a way to monetise the project but is there a self-hosted 'enterprise' version of that anywhere in the plans?
I do own a T480 and Lenovo has stopped manufacturing batteries for it. You can get existing stock for horrendous prices or knock-offs.
The early web had so much more diversity than the current web, and with far fewer walled gardens.

Try browsing the modern web in an incognito window and see how far you get before you are asked to login and then forced to login to read more. The big social networks force you to not only login to read stuff, they also strongly push you towards the mobile app because there's so much more data they can harvest from your phone.

Oh, and the ads. In the late 90s we had to contend with popup ads and animated gif banners but the modern web without an ad blocker is much worse. I'm not against ads, but why do 95% of them have to be so scummy?
The fines will be handed out in such a way that obeying the law would have been cheaper. That's how things are done in Western Europe.
Ah, so underlying the 'moral' argument is the uncontrollable FEAR that you, a wealthy but unadventurous person, are somehow subsidizing other less wealthy people as they enjoy their lives.

I suspect again that it comes from this religious-vs-atheist trench warfare that has developed along mostly political boundaries in the US. On the other side of the Atlantic, I'd claim religion is mostly just a private thing that people don't bother each other about much.
When you spreadsheet app struggle, tou know it is time to convert to a database. You'll work much faster with an sqlite database anyway. Even converting csv + perl/ruby/python is more convenient than that piece of shit of excel anyway.

Your right, horribly is probably the wrong word, but the same quote said [..] this genetic mutation that makes them resistant to HIV.

I don't care so much about the wording in this article, but there have been a lot of efforts for HIV "cures" in the direction of disable CCR5 = disable HIV, which unfortunately is not true.

Also when you disable CCR5 on more and more people, the selective pressure may evolve to HIV which primarily targets CXCR4.

The way seems to anti-retroviral drugs, and then finish it with CCR5 inhibition.

> stat day

If you don't know what a "stat day" is (I didn't), it apparently stands for "statutory holidays" which is like public holidays.

During my brief time in the US, I observed that over there the public holidays tend to be something like "nth Friday/Monday of so-and-so month"; that way you get a long weekend. This is how it's done in some other countries as well.

Unfortunately not in my country (where I'm lucky to have both Saturdays and Sundays off! (I should probably move...) ); if a public holiday falls on a Wednesday, you get the Wednesday off. But on the bright side, there's plenty of holidays here.
I've upgraded my x220 as well and it's good enough for basic dev work with about 8hrs battery life on the big battery. For the screen, are you using the Nitrocaster mod? I have it sitting here and the new IPS 1080p screen but I kind of regret not going for a 16:10 aspect ratio (which requires cutting the frame around the screen)
Rumor has it they don't do this in warm countries. Spain for instance is supposed to have a late night culture where people eat dinner at 9PM. Seems to be true based on what my Spanish friends say.

But generally you're right. I don't get it, what's the fuss about doing things early? Artificial light has existed for a long time now, why not get up a little later, relax, eat, chat a bit, and then go do whatever it is?
That's true in some cases, but remember hardware support can be a little bit mixed, particularly closer to the bleeding edge. So you could be happy enough most of the time, but if you encounter an issue that is annoying and disruptive but obscure enough that 90% of your day-to-day is OK, then you could definitely find yourself rebuilding and using kernel point-releases
tl;dr: pharaoh Ramses II did great things but lived 90 years, outliving many of his sons, and soon after he died his kingdom fell into civil wars over successions and collapsed
Many professional / salaried roles would be fine with that.

I get in early, only take 10 minutes at lunch but then I head home at 3-4PM to miss rush. Sometimes I log back in from home and do more hours (especially if there is a problem), sometimes I leave even earlier and don't, sometimes I WFH on a Friday and spend 3 hours in the middle of the day getting the train out to my parents for a long weekend then the afternoon is half heartedly watching emails while drinking coffee with my parents.

At the end of the day as long as I'm not inconveniencing colleagues then it comes down to does my output make me worth my salary.
> and getting head turns from neckbeards

Where is all this hate coming from? It seems unjustified.
Are they suggesting that this is a trailer for the real thing?
> It's a bit tough out there with inflation

Considering that the economy enjoyed 3 decades of basically uninterrupted growth, including right through all significant financial crisis situations (by massively supporting companies with taxpayers money), I couldn't care less how "hard" it is for companys with inflation now.

Baby-Boomers are going into retirement, the next 2 generations are low birth. The workforce is going to be an increasingly limited commodity. Supply and Demand also apply when it doesn't benefit the companies.

Either companies adapt, no matter how tough it is, or there will be less companies, easy as that.
Huh … Thanks for the praise, but I’m way too disorganised for that and hardly have thoughts worth more than a paragraph like above!
I agree, but only in the assumption that "weird artists" are not actually unique, but delusional.

This is an opportunity for real artistic innovation to find a foothold, but first we'll have an existential crisis.
I use Slackware or OpenBSD. I completely understand You said (I used RH based distros when I was at Some-Large Commercial Air* in Seattle (it was a joy minus my second set of mgr's)). As much as I dislike using Red Hat*, they are great at what You mention.
It’s so immensely easy to predict doom without a timeline, as everything ends.

It’s also completely useless, because everyone already knows everything ends.

I've replaced a Macbook Air with a ThinkPad T480, which I've upgraded with a 250 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM, and a bigger battery.

It's just the perfect laptop for me. The keyboard feels super nice (I don't like those arrow keys though), battery life is excellent, and the screen is sharp enough. Its only drawback are the speakers, but that doesn't bother me much tbh.

Amazing laptop, couldn't recommend it enough.
I'm in my 40s. Same.

This morning I had to get up at 0615 for the second morning in succession due to a couple of appointments. This is absolutely not normal for me and it's completely painful. Obviously sometimes it has to happen, and that's OK, but it comes at a cost.

People will say, "just go to bed earlier", but actually that doesn't really work because unless I go to bed hours after I've eaten I don't sleep and tend to get heartburn. Case in point, last night: got home at about 1915, ate dinner just after 2000, went to bed at 2200 (because I had to get up early this morning), slept like absolute crap.

Sorry (not sorry), but I can't live like this. I need a good 8 hours a night every night, and that means going to bed at 2300 - 0000 and getting up at 0700 or, ideally, 0800. I work much better that way, and am much happier with it. More than that, I'm not falling asleep by lunchtime.
I think I remember reading a while back that _any_ change to the work environment ends up increasing productivity in the short term, before reverting to historic norms.

You went somewhere that you had choice.

I, on the other hand, went to a local branch of a state college. So many classes were only available in one time slot, which meant that I had both classes that started at 8am and classes that started at 6pm.

Attendance wasn't always optional.
You know I've run Arch on Thinkpads forever and I never got one head turn from even one neckbeard. It's one of those dreams that never comes true.
That's not fair. Those AIs are stealing the credit by stealing TikTok posts and ancestry.com listings of the real nephews of record company executives. Those nephews deserve recognition for their IP and ID.
Thanks for sharing, I grew up in PNG, where the culture, generally, was way more egalitarian.

I had all mammer of friends from diff races/cultures, seeing each other as different, or better/worse, was much less prevalent than in PNGs former colonial administrator -Australia.

Most of my friends weren't white, or were mixed race...

I finished my high-school and university study in the latter, the differences were quite marked, though they have equalised somewhat, over the last 25yrs.

Still, to this day in Australia, I don't have anywhere near as many coloured friends/associates, as I did as a child & preteen/early-teen in png.
Let's hope it and echelon's conversational style are parodies.
It's true for big companies too. Not for those in competitive environments, but with the mergers of the last 25 years, those are more and more rare.

Sure but on the other hand, let's say you buy a plastic bottle everyday (for water). There's ~ 6 billion people on earth, if everyone does that for 10 years...you know, it's a big number: 2.136e+13 bottles, that's a lot.

The thing is, bottled water is convenient as shit, I religiously use a insulated water bottle to avoid this type of waste, and I suspect a lot of people do.

So I don't think reducing personal consumption is insignificant, although I agree with you.
I recently listened to an old startup podcast where the guest spoke about how waking up 3 hours before everybody else is the smartest thing you can do because you get an extra 3 hours on everybody else. It didn't cross his mind you can also go to bed 3 hours later than everyone else.

On a different startup podcast, there was a guy claiming he went to bed at 7pm and woke up at 3am! He claimed his kids went to bed at 7pm too. I mean sure, maybe between 1 and 3 years of age, but in the long run this is just absurd (or you are not putting in an equal share of parenting, or spending time with your kids or spouse in the evening.)
I actually think "weird and humiliating" punishments like this, or the stocks etc would be more effective, cheaper and more humane than prison. We've defaulted to prison (and fines, which aren't really enforced) as the only forms of punishment and that a mistake.
I do a lot of development work on a tiny Acer with 8GB of RAM and an Atom-class processor. Not fast, but fast enough. I rarely need to wait more than a couple seconds between editing something and seeing the results.

And making it impossible to open lots of browser tabs is actually nice for productivity.
I take the remark more benignly. I think it's meant in an affectionate manner.

The problem is how to to decide whether the change was trivial, or the change was the thing that made a 100x difference in success.
As a person that run on Ubuntu for a couple of years and then had to switch to macOS due to a work change, I can give you some feedback.

Most of those things (small utilities/plugins) exist for macOS, with two massive caveats - they are often paid (e.g. only 2 out of ~10 window managers are free; 1 out of ~3 usage thing in top bar is free), and the second one which bugs me more, they're often very Apple ecosystem centric (first or third party doesn't matter). They do things in the Apple way, integrate only with Apple tooling and services and devices, often in non-obvious ways. E.g. a fun one is that you can extend your macOS screen to an iPad, if you fill a bunch of Apple requirements (same AppleID account), but with zero feedback on which one you don't fill. If you don't, the button just isn't there, nothing says why, and all online guides boil down to "make sure you've done this". Which is my biggest problem with macOS - it isn't made for technical people because it is incapable of providing actual usable feedback that can help you debug. Be it magic buttons that only appear if everything is there, or useless error messages ("A USB device is consuming too much power and has been shut down". Which device?), or lacking features like separate scroll direction between mouse and touchpad. Oh and there's no native package manager for some unknown reason.

It's a decent shiny OS, fine for a graphical designer/video editor. I don't get technical people who swear by it, I'd be tempted to say Win 10 with WSL is better than it for techies.
It didn't say so in the post but I suspect 8GB RAM were just not enough and an upgrade was necessary anyway? And future upgrading was mentioned. In my opinion this is a valid point actually and should be very much considered when buying any of the modern all-fixed-no-upgrades machines, I mean its not just the Apple machines.
We don't seem to remember.
Haha :))
I think you should keep writing it the way you are, I found it a lot clearer.
Not necessarily. I don't think people were aware at each of these moments what ability they would compensate it with. Mostly they were just happy that tedious things got easier.

So many people here are worried about the essay with in-depth thought. But let's face it: a lot of written content isn't that valuable. A friend of mine had ChatGPT write his goodbye email for him, and the result was a) really good and b) really funny because it just illustrated how interchangeable these emails are.

Another example: at the large consultancy firms (McKinsey etc), they have a large number of "slide monkeys" that consultants can use to have their powerpoint slides made. Of course nobody officially admits to calling them slide monkeys (I mean, what a terrible term), but everyone unofficially does. These "slide monkeys" are basically low-wage support staff in developing nations like India. AI can automate that work.

That might maybe also make us consider whether the slide format is even an efficient one. Right now, slides imply value because of the time required to make them. Once that changes, we might focus our evaluation of value more on how much content they can deliver efficiently to their audience.
A bit off topic I know, but as a night owl till my mid 30s I actually managed to flip to an early bird. Maybe it was just a fluke or something and this is totally anecdotal but what I think happened is for about 3-4 months I was doing a physical activity in the morning that I _really wanted_ to do - some martial arts classes.

And then one faithful morning there was this training session that was just sublime - working out outside, in the heat of the rising sun, very idilic.
From that morning onwards, I started waking up 7am by myself, whatever I do, no matter if I stay late or not ... it was very bizarre, I just "flipped" from one day to the next.

I attribute this to the fact that most really fun things in my life happen late - parties, dancing, playing computer games to 3am, bouts of in the zone coding, spending nights with my partner - all happening in the evening, so my body obviously tries to "optimise" its attention to when I crave it most.

When I consistently had a thing that was really engaging for me for a long enough period (and no corresponding "high" in the evening) I switched to an early bird.

Last year I've stopped doing the fun morning stuff and I can sense slowly moving back to late evenings and unpleasant mornings.
It's not just going to be artists though. Doctors and lawyers are also on the chopping block, ai can't do surgery for a long time probably, but it could do a lot of diagnosing and pre-flight checklist type things, where society maybe needs a fraction of the doctors, especially primary care physicians as an ai-enriched doctor could maybe handle 5x the caseload, without breaking a sweat.

Lawyers will probably always be needed in court, but a lot of lawyering is done in writing contracts, and reading/deciphering this - again chatGPT excels here.

Terrifyingly the military is already using ai to fly and fight dogfights with f16s. Package delivery will be disrupted in a similar fashion probably, etc.. Lots of industries, everyone who just says 'artisists' has no clue what's coming.

Yeah, I've encountered real-life code that had such issues (was even running in production without anyone noticing). Type checking won't prevent every type of bug, but that kind of problem (returning a special value and forgetting that it should be handled differently) can occur in a dynamic language as well.

Just because keywords and symbols exist doesn't mean the hypothetical programmer who would return -1 as a special value in a static language will not do so in a dynamic language. But in the statical language when the sum type is used it will prevent people from passing the result into an arithmetic function when more code is added in the future (in an ideal world tests would catch it, but in an ideal world the sum type would have been used from the very beginning).

There are trade-offs between static and dynamic typing, and while dynamic typing allows us to write code more quickly, things balance out when we include the time lost by type matching errors that static type would protect us from.

The new AWS. From 2007-2009 there were countless AWS outages, a lot of heckling, including from my part as I ran on bare metal using Rackspace. Lo and behold AWS became a behemoth and a significant majority of workloads moved there. OpenAI is starting to feel like that. There's going to be countless outages, there will be a lot of people throwing shade at it, maybe even me..., but they're going to come out as a formidable force and a new foundation for the next generation of apps.

I really hope we see some open alternatives to OpenAI, the cloud space has largely been a sh*tshow. The choices aren't great, it's either crufty AWS or the trigger happy deprecating folks at Google Cloud. Azure tends to be quite painful to use. And well the rest of the landscape is a bunch of niche tools so we never really got even distribution and we never ended up with Android for Cloud, which should be a thing.

It's not clear Stable Difussion or stability.ai is creating anymore of a democracy amongst AI tools considering the cost of running these things. We need some sort of community led infrastructure where we can pool resources/cash and feel like there's a sense of ownership over this stuff that isn't directly attributed to corporations e.g maybe we could co-op community led AI infra and pay people a dividend for their contribution to it.
