We could think about ways to make it easier to have kids. But it will likely be costly and difficult — having kid means you sign up for at 18 years of drastically altered lifestyle at least! So if we are to try and incentivize people to have kids, we’ll have to convince that there’ll be some stability in the incentives there.

It seems much easier to have a kid if one parent is able to stay at home. But that’ll require restructuring the economy for lower labor participation rates. And I guess we’re not going to accept a massive gender imbalance in who stays home nowadays. So as a first step I guess we’ll have to massively rethink men’s role in society, so that we can get up from the paltry 16% of stay at home parents being fathers to more like 50%.

All possible but it requires sustained effort.

Accepting more immigrants is quite a bit more flexible. And they even show up as adults mostly, so we don’t have to raise them! It is sort of mooching off the rest of the world, but if people want to join, I say let ‘em.
No. That isn't negotiation, it is extortion.

"Pay me more, because I got a higher offer somewhere else."

It is a threat and employers shouldn't be forced to respond to threats like that. It isn't negotiation, it is a demand. How about instead of doing it that way, you say something like: "The salary you offered is lower than I expected. Here is what I expect and these are the benefits I'll bring to your organization."

It also sets a bad tone from the start. What else will the employee like to threaten on in the future? If I don't have the same coffee machine that Meta uses... will they quit on me? Where do you draw the line?

This is also why the newer laws around wages are focused on being upfront about what the wage is in the job description. I'm all for that. Don't apply for jobs that are paying less than your expectation.
If their compensations are linked to Meta results and stock prices, they are going to pay for that.

You can pass off one round of layoff as having to make a tough decision after overhiring when things looked different. Having to do a second one doesn't look good however. It's basically admitting that you either botched the first one or just realised things are significantly worse than you thought neither of which are particularly appealing to investors.
Users of coroutine-friendly libraries will have to adopt the async function coloring (co_await, co_yield, co_return, Task<T>).

So saying that coroutines are low-level / not application code is misguided.
Using generators to control animation flow is genius. Having used Remotion a bit it's heavily dependent on current frame count in complex animations. Generators is a more elegant solution.
It's one of his online handles (In instagram no less), I'd say it's at least as guaranted as calling you p0pCult

I pay $1200/mo per kid in NC
...And we don't know their respective jobs.

The only indicator we get is that more than 50% of those who consider going back need money, which probably correlates negatively with jobs that have a low entry barrier for remote work.

Add to this that people above 50 tend to have serious problems getting jobs in tech (and likely adjecent industries).
It's a little weird how an egg producer's optimal response to an egg shortage in our economic system is to keep not producing eggs.

It's almost like after enough rounds of consolidation, there's no guarantee that market economics will produce optimal outcomes for consumers.
I'm open to either possibility.

It also seems completely possible to imagine a scenario where 15% of all eggs set to be produced never get maid. If you are a producer who had no damage to your chickens you are now getting bids in from grocery stores and areas that had never contracted you - and your profits increase.

My local Trader Joe's was out of eggs yesterday. Presumably because prices have actually gone down and people are hoarding. But nonetheless, stores definitely were selling out because the prices actually did not reflect demand.
Thanks a lot for the feedback, we should do better job at explaining the benefits of the solution to the people not familiar with it! We will improve on this
If you use the proper software, it doesn’t. Vim is still as fast as it was 40 years ago if not faster. IO is also getting a lot faster. The SSDs these days are what RAM used to be.

That's pretty common in the US well. Kroger stores do it, I imagine any store with a membership program is similar. Home Depot does it too, without a membership program, if you give them your email address at POS the first time you use a new card. I'm sure they love the data.

Chlorine is a precursor to Vinyl Chloride and is far more dangerous than Vinyl Chloride.
At the end of the day they're a business. In America, I can't think of many things that have priority over capitalism (profit over all).

Does Facebook have a right to exist and try their best to earn profit? Yes.

In doing so, they become a middle man for trying to push ads. Does this have measurable negative societal effects? Arguably. I would say "depends on who you ask" but it's pretty hard to look at it subjectively instead of objectively when there is so much data showing it's true.

But what's the alternative? Asking them to stop entirely? Unrealistic. Asking them to make less money not pushing certain content because it's divisive? That's the same content that got optimized to the top based on engagement statistics and is netting them "the most money" from advertisement views, right?

I get what you are saying about the negative effects, I just don't know how realistic it is to hold Facebook accountable when their primary motive is profit. If society tears itself apart in the process because Facebook gave society the platform to do that, at what point does the government intervene and ask them "hey, help us police moral/ethics to control the effects"?
I've hear this before and I found it nonsense. In short, I don't see any advantage to distinguish responsible) deliberate debt from irresponsible/involuntary debt. A debt is a debt.

You take a loan to buy a house, knowing your salary will allow for the extra expense and you have backups plan. That's a responsible debt. Like, hardcoding some variables in a prototype - eventually that needs fixing. Everyone agrees this is technical debt.

But you can also take an irresponsible loan, eg for some far away vacations you can't afford to. Is that debt? Sure it is, and you better figure a way to solve it once you realize your mistake!
I agree it's not sinister, but I think it goes deeper than this.

Strong (static) type systems fundamentally make you do more work up front. They force you to be more explicit. They restrict what you can do. They're in your face, because you can't get your program to compile without them. No one gets through any significant amount of Rust programming without knowing that the borrow checker is there. It's so fundamental that it's just part of the experience.

C++ arguably has just as many rules for writing "correct" programs, but they're not enforced by a compiler. So much stuff happens by convention. If you follow the convention, great, your code is safe. If you mess up, no one catches you. Because it's your responsibility, it's easy to attribute this failure to your programming skill rather than to the language that made that mistake possible in the first place.

I'm not saying stronger type systems are always better, but I do think there is a fundamental human tendency to attribute the up-front as hard and the latent as easy, even if the up-front work ultimately helps you avoid the latent work down the line.
I have lack of imagination to think what kind of conflicts those would be, would you have examples?

In my experience there’s always a logical way to solve conflicts. And CRDTs can have any kind of conflict resolution algorithm, so it’s customizable per application. “Storing conflict resolutions”, eg. “a merge operation”, is not needed and unnecessarily complicates any CRDT.
Hey thank you for the great question! I think the short answer is that if you already have all of this wired up in CodePipeline+CodeBuild and it works for you, then you're probably set.

But there is a few steps to get there in that setup. I believe you have to have three CodeBuild projects, one for each architecture & then the manifest merge. So it works but is a bit of config to stitch together.

With Depot, you would just install our `depot` CLI in your config and run `depot build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64` instead of `docker build`. We handle building the image on both architectures in parallel and can push the merged result to your registry. We can even run the builders in your own AWS account so you maintain total control of the underlying infra building your image.

We are working on other features for Depot that would go beyond the speed & multi-platform capabilities. We want to surface insights and telemetry about image builds that could help them be smaller, faster, and smarter. We are also thinking about things in the container security space such as container signing, sboms, etc. Happy to answer more questions about any of this!
HOAs have their downsides, but I do really appreciate one of my CC&Rs: in my ~4 square mile city, we are not allowed to have exterior lights apart from ones to illuminate driveways and patios. Moreover, there are no street lights in the entire city.

It's an oasis of uncorrupted night in the unlikeliest of places: Los Angeles. You can see city lights from certain vantage points, but in most places it is pitch black. Living here feels like perpetual camping. It is wonderful, and it would be stressful for me to return to living in a place with perpetual illumination.
> What happens when GitHub adds native arm support though?

That will make it much faster to build arm images on GHA natively - in that scenario, Depot should still be several times faster like we are on Intel today, primarily due to how we're managing layer cache to avoid needing to save it or load it between builds (cache-to / cache-from), as well as just having larger runners and more sophisticated orchestration. We can take advantage of BuildKit's ability to share cache and deduplicate steps between concurrent builds for instance.

We're also expanding Depot in a few different directions, including along the security path with container signing and SBOM support, as well as some upcoming build insights and analytics features. The goal is that it's always super easy to `depot build` from wherever you `docker build` today, and that Depot provides the best possible experience for container builds.
Can we really re-introduce a de-extincted species?

IMHO we are either overestimating our potential at consciously controlling the natural world, or either underestimating the complexity of nature.

While I love technology as a part of being human and something that definitely sets up apart from other primates (even the other tool making hominids), I find it awkward to see organizations attempting to make planetary artificial changes without even being sure if we can survive as a technology-capable species at all without turning the planet into a boiler.

E.g.: We should still make sure that future generations will be able to enjoy technological wonders like computation without having to throw toxic byproducts into the rivers and seas.
Been using this for several months now and it's helped improve our build pipelines significantly! We are planning to integrate it with more of our tooling soon.
Tell me about it!

I think the fact this is just another "option" in an application normalizes it for users of those apps. Companies like Hubspot are not only selling software, they're also doing the marketing training for thousands of companies, so it's in their interest to say that this is entirely normal.

It's similar to how it became normal for company blogs to be full of SEO spam written by underpaid content-farm workers, or even AI now. I mean, is that the kind of thing a company wanted to be associated with its image? I guess it is now... :(

Is it really worse than traditional media, which glorifies violence and mass shootings? Or Twitter and it’s propensity for mass outrage? Or the Reddit echo chamber?

Of course all can be bad, I’m just not sure you’ve accurately identified the biggest offender.
what worries me is that it'll realtime correct what I say into what I mean so perfectly that I won't be able to learn to do it on my own.

Once our capacity to 'self-correct' (which is the essence of healing) becomes unused we will begin to lose it.

I guess in such a world we all talk to our personal 'computers' and they communicate us to other humans translating everything automatically. sounds like we will be so free that we won't have to learn to talk to others, 'our' computers will do that for us, and so on until we don't know whether we are ourselves or our computers are us; perfectly assimilating us into the borg.

we will have accomplished a more perfected state of "freedom": we will have become free from having to be alive!!
Yeah I mean if you are aiming to optimize for running on single node clusters then something that is first and foremost an efficient bin-packer isn't a great fit. I'm also assuming the alternative is running on the cloud rather than a colo/dedicated server.

EDIT: to be clear K8s is not good for "POC" phase of development. Its definitely good for "ok this is a worthwhile product and we are now officially building this out for production".
>Personally I'd find it delightful if the rage-engine got smashed with a legal hammer and my Youtube recommendations were as useful as they were fifteen years ago.

Why would it be safe for them to use an older recommendation system? It doesn't solve the problem, if their older system recommends a terrorism video, even if it only did so because that video came up chronologically, they're still liable.

I would think they would need to just stop allowing the general public to upload videos anymore and only permit trusted media companies and influencers (ones known to not create controversial content) to do so. Probably after being approved through a vetting process where their lawyers can look through at least some of the content first.
Geez, humans anthropomorphize everything we can! Even that crappy original ELIZA Rogerian psychologist chatbot inspires some anthropomorphizing. Heck, I named my Roomba "Dobby" and call it "him" most of the time.
I'm curious as to the reasons people have for down-voting this comment.

I agree with the sentiment of your comment. Not only is the concept of property a recent construct, but so is binary gender, binary sexuality, and binary sex.
Is it worse than using google or stackoverflow instead of reading the documentation? I don't use it but I see many people like it because they get 70-80% of the work for a fraction of the effort.
What the hell kind of lawyer is going to take a case where you microwaved your own cat... let alone on contingency? Some of the hypotheticals I see here, which people use to justify their outlooks, are so deranged and distant from reality that it makes me wonder. There is a constant emphasis on what is technically possible (such a lawsuit) while rejecting the reality wherein the other factors enabling such an occurrence don't exist. It's as if certain individuals here have no concept of what is reasonable or not.
Do you have any plans of open-sourcing or releasing your work here? This stuff is awesome, it would be great to try and apply it to different eras of pinball machines as well.
> I think it's more of a sovereign citizen "hail Mary" type move to get her out of jail.

It would only delay the inevitable by a few months at most, right? Trials regularly get delayed for years anyway, so they may as well delay her sentence for a few months.
I agree that it's not a regular mistake, and I sort of think that the context of the comment we never bring enough water was hyperbole, but it's I think a common enough mistake WHEN things turn problematic to find out oh damn, I don't have enough water for this problematic situation.

Had more than enough for things going good, not enough now.
All sysadmins have transitioned to Devops/SRE roles, given your background, you will be able to pick that up pretty easily.

Everything that you previously did on-prem has transitioned to the cloud.

The fundamentals remain the same - only the tooling has changed.

Kinda fell ass backwards into programming. I don't have a degree either. Studied physics -> computer repair as a side hustle -> help desk worker -> dropped out -> Linux/data center admin -> programmer.

IMO, the Linux/physical datacenter stuff is the most fun. Especially if you can read RFC/specs and program. That space is rife with awkward manual processes and roll your own solutions actually make sense with surprising regularly.

You might want to find a place with a physical datacenter and give that a whirl.

Also, a lot of people don't have degrees. Don't stress it.

Tofu scramble might be a little more expensive than egg-based version but 5x seems an exaggerated figure to me.

A 14oz package of tofu is probably the equivalent of 4 eggs and costs $2-3. So maybe 1.5x the cost of egg-based version. (Here's a great basic recipe https://www.budgetbytes.com/vegetable-tofu-scramble/)

Also, if you examine your diet you will probably find that you don't need to replace eggs with tofu 1:1. There are plenty of other ways to get protein (e.g. lentils, nutritional yeast, even whole wheat bread has protein).

Facebook isn’t coming over to your house and forcing you to navigate to their website. This would be more like the addict going to meet the dealer and then being offered what they want.
I'm not talking about how they were treated in humanitarian terms, but about whether they were considered property. These are obviously very entangled concepts but they are distinct.

And yes kids-as-property has been the norm, but again not close to universal. Many other conceptions of children have used. None of them necessarily leading to better overall treatment of children, but affecting people's understanding of the boundaries of rights and responsibilities around them. Which is the part that's relevant to this conversation.
53% that want remote positions need to realize that there’s someone in another country willing to do the remote job remotely for 1/6th of the wage.

My experience as of late is remote workers in India have advanced their language and professional skills greatly in the last 5-10 years.

Be careful what you wish for.

The bright line distinction between “platforms” and “publishers” is imaginary. Publishers generate content and also make opinionated decisions about the content of others, including decisions about which content to promote and which content to suppress. In an era where a newspaper may feature original content as well as moderated reader comments, you can’t pretend that freedom of expression is somehow limited only to the original content or the unmoderated comments. It’s all part of the same expressive process.

As far as the actual text of the First Amendment goes, I’m not aware of any distinction between platforms and publishers: there’s simply a broad prohibition on Congress passing laws that abridge freedom of expression.

And let’s be clear: abridging the speech rights of these private parties is precisely the intention of many lawmakers who have proposed Section 230/liability updates, both at the state and Federal level. They’re mad because they think private companies are suppressing content that they want published, and they want to use the power of the state to punish such infractions. Note that they don’t want to punish the companies for the specific moderation decisions they object to, since that would obviously be protected speech. No: the political goal here is to punish private firms who violate government speech codes by causing them to suffer for unrelated posts that appear on the platform, as a kind of protection racket. Nobody is even being coy about this stuff.
My assumption at first was that netflix would be crappy. Haven't looked at wm since they started appearing, but just the other day saw that Devolver is making games for netflix now. Pair that with seeing recent positive feedback, it made me second guess my wrongly held assumption

I'm guessing it's not a bad platform?
This is just another "X eats Y for breakfast" snowclone, where somebody thinks deeply about Y, so they conveniently ignore X as it relates to why something they do/don't like with respect to Y is unpopular/popular.
