What do you expect deno to do? Should it have a "repository" of whitelisted domains? Should it do typo checking for you? What is considered "good security defaults" here?

Deno doesn't intentionally control where and how you import dependencies as long as the code in the dependency is valid and I think that's better than gatekeeping domains. Deno has permissions built-in just for this - i.e., if a dependency goes rogue, there's some level of control.

Consider node/bun on the other hand. If a dependency goes rogue, there's virtually nothing stopping it except system permissions. That's a lot worse than deno.

I think Deno tries to solve the core issue with running untrusted code (like a browser does to some extent). Dependency control can only go so far. So no complaints here.

This also gives Deno flexibility to support package.json with the same exact security guarantees. Isn't that better?

We're talking about laptops. That's the whole point!

Ah yes. They were paid by altruists who had the foresight to know that 30 years later they will be able to track everyone and collect their dues.

>Most novel findings don't replicate

This is very context dependent so such a broad generalization probably goes too far. It seems like the “soft” sciences have a much bigger replication crises.

But that point aside, your Yale vs. Harvard example doesn’t fix the funding issue I alluded to.
I know a number of people working with LLMsat startups. None of them have ever even considered working on a crypto product.
Yeah, entrenched outlets with professional writers and expert pieces from very specialized writers are not totally dead like indie writers because of their reputation. But this is still going to compound their financial woes.
I just moved from Craft CMS to a DIY static site generator, Ursus. I moved 850 entries with various kinds of metadata, including various relationships between entries. This is the website that pays my bills, so it's important to get it right.

It took 6-8 weeks, and I was on a roadtrip for 3 of those. It includes writing a SSG from scratch and migrating both the content and the templates.

I'm about to write my own recap, but to summarize it here: it went okay, and I love working with markdown.

The biggest issue was the conversion of 5 years of HTML noise caused by Redactor, a WYSIWYG editor with many quirks. The converter didn't know what to do with stray line breaks at the end of block elements, among other oddities. I had to fix a lot of stuff manually.

The second biggest issue was implementing responsive images with captions, which replace img tags with elaborate figure elements. I converted those to markdown manually, then wrote my own markdown extension. It wasn't that bad!

I've now been editing markdown for a month, and I am loving it. It's text in files, not HTML in a database. You can transform it with an arsenal of tools from the last 5 decades, not just a crummy WYSIWYG editor. You can apply the same rigour to the written word as you would to code. You can use scripts, regex, linters, and fancy text editors with fine-tuned plugins and themes. It's awesome to have so much control over your work environment.

It's also great to review changes with a git merge tool, to deploy content updates like code, to work offline on slow hardware.

Oh and the server has so few moving parts now. No more WordPress updates, no MySQL CPU spikes. The whole thing is so simple.

I waited a long time to move to an SSG, but it was absolutely worth it.

They chose for a decentralised package management system whereas Node has a centralised one. A tradeoff as you mentioned is that you can't just take down malicious packages. I'm personally not too concerned with this because of the following:

1. The default permissions while running a script are stricter than Node's, you get told when your code tries to access your file system or network

2. Code I write for Deno typically uses fewer dependencies than the equivalent code for Node, simply because of how Deno has a good standard library with many web APIs

> the Deno teams stance on security is not so funny

Can you give examples of this?
I don't think it's nonsensical to use less popular/exotic languages. I prefer to write code in languages that I like to write in, as long as it's a good enough tool for the job.

The real problem with them is that while you and I might be interested in functional languages, our coworkers/managers aren't and we have to stick with the languages we might not find as immediately exciting, like python.

Side node, python has Hy (https://hylang.org), which is essentially a lisp implementation that compiles to Python's AST. The entire python ecosystem and stdlib is available to Hy, so it's as batteries included as python is. It's a blast to use, but similarly I wouldn't expect my job to be excited about it.
1 size doesn't fit all: The conditional role of CEO education on IPO performance
>> LiveView handles it just fine. If the websocket disconnects for some reason it will automatically re-establish itself when the connection is restored.

What the parent means is that, because state is kept on the server with LiveView, and events that change that state are processed by the server, if your connection is lost, then you may find that even basic things, such as having a dialog open when you click a button, stop working. This means that unstable connections result in very poor UX.

This is in direct contrast to a typical SPA for example, where the browser keeps and handles most front-end state, and talks to the server only when it needs to (e.g. form submission).
Except chatGPT has many obvious use cases
But that's not what this subthread is about. It was about different people having different priorities. fsociety remarked (quite correctly) that there are a large number of people who constantly feel the need to denigrate Macs, no matter the context—and you came in and said, basically, "That's not true. I have a Mac, and I don't like it very much."

Were those your words? No, but it sure sounded like it was your implication. You didn't just say they were overpriced (which would be a common complaint, but these days needs a lot more citation, given their extremely good performance per watt, and overall build quality). You said they were ridiculously overpriced, which implies that no reasonable person could look at one and think it was worth buying.

You came into a subthread that pointed out that there are people who like to gratuitously hate on Macs, and you tried to paint it as being the opposite, while damning them with, at the very best, faint praise.
I have my concerns about how AI will affect humanity, but there's something else on the other end of that spectrum that's been on my mind.

Effectively, we've implemented the ship's computer from Star Trek TNG. While there's enough enthusiasm that average people are playing with ChatGPT, it seems that the "glass half empty" attitude is far outweighing the perspective that we've achieved something that was once complete fantasy in our lifetimes. Nobody I know, including those with greater ML/AI knowledge than mine, is in as much awe as I am. Current generation LLMs are something we're already taking for granted as a cool toy, or we're concluding it's crap because it doesn't have a God-like grasp on facts, or we're waiting for it to become Skynet.

Given the overall response we're having to this technology, I can't help but conclude that society is overdue for being put in its place, and perhaps it even needs to be knocked down a peg. The real problem with AI may not be so much the technology itself but that we're not deserving or truly ready for it.
I call BS on excessive meetings. Not that meetings don’t have their place but the excess bikeshedding in meetings is not only exhausting but downright unproductive. 3 hours of meetings a day drain me for the day and for no good reason, whatever is discussed could be compressed to maximum 5 minutes.

I was working on something like this for the toshiba tcd2304(?) units a few years ago. I have a working prototype in my closet using a psoc5.

Psoc5 is perfect for this kind of project because it integrates cpld-like functionality with a microcontroller that can also perform serial over USB. You you can get jitter free logic signals to the linear ccd.

The raman spectrometer functionality of these units could be really useful for certain projects. I have half a dozen of them in my basement, and I hacked them a few years ago just for the spectrometer portion. But the filters and fiber laser are nice too. But like you, I never really took it any farther, mostly for lack of a good project to use it on.
Umm, I don't know but would guess water-ice sublimes over time in a vacuum.

The bing stuff can get very wild. But I think the reason they aren't making it widely available yet (and won't for a while) is that it's just a test for "ChatGPT that can search the web" the same way that ChatGPT was (is?) a public test.

You're just describing being well connected, which is nothing new. It's not 'a magical sequence of accounts', it's being part of a community.

> I "deserve" to get screwed

No one does, which is the point. Highlighting when companies' customer service fails users (and how they deal with it - sweeping the pattern under the rug versus resolving to address it) helps people make informed decisions about the companies they do or don't choose to work with.

While 'anecdata', it's still a more far useful metric to me than advertising in picking who I support, as patterns tend to arise (both positive and negative!) resulting from a company's culture.

Few years ago i had kde and used kde connect, but i didn't want that much qt in my life (can't stand it), and switched to gnome. There was gsconnect but it wasn't that realiable. Used that for a while but in the end i switched to sway, becaus twms are great and everything is so much snappier. But one thing was missing, kdeconnect. I didn't want qt, and gsconnect was a gnome extension. I tried several other alternatives to, but nothing was as good.

It sounds like the claim is that the herbs used are 100% pure and natural whereas it says nothing about the presence of other ingredients if any.
If you're entering normal mode for one or two commands at a time, that could be problem. However, if you're fast at entering normal (i.e. use jj, fd, Caps Lock as Esc, etc.), that's not a meaningful overhead.

On the other hand, having to constantly hold Control/Alt, including long chords (e.g. with prefix + count), feels much worse for me. I use Emacs keybinds on the terminal (outside of vim), but I can't imagine having to constantly press modifiers. It's not as comfortable as switching to a mode where those actions are explictly first-class.
It does matter, to me at least. You can read whatever you want.

And how is it speciesism? LLMs are not biological entities nor conscious (yet, I guess).
The root cause is their need to reach for conclusions, probably from the outset of the study in order to justify their so-designed "experiment". Statistical studies should come without any pretense of a conclusion from the researchers. There are always multiple conclusions to be had, and students are naive. If you have to start with a statistical conclusion, you are already lost.
The weakness was the open-channel for submissions, they now need to gatekeep with submission-fees or some other mechanism.

Its honestly shocking to me how fragmented Microsoft's authentication system can be and how many quirks it has. Knowing how enterprise software is built, you know under the hood their auth system is complete fragmented mess. Every login looks the same but is subtly different so you can literally log into one service if your account is setup a certain way and that would instantly screw you when it comes to logging into 5+ other services.

Inflation is the rate of change. If inflation is positive prices are rising. Inflation can be declining (second derivative) but still positive.

I can't live without Office! My personal favorite is 2010 x64, as Word then starts faster than the current Wordpad.

Office 2010 works great in Windows 11, but there've been some suspicious move making me believe old office version will be given a poison pill or something under the plausible deniability of "security risks of 13 year old software", like how Outlook 2010 can't connect to outlook.com anymore (though it works great with gmail using google's GWSO plugin)

On MY computer, I run what I want. So I'll try Office 2010 in wine within Wayland.

Legislation doesn’t guarantee rights. If the same body trying to violate your rights with a bill can just pass another bill to repeal your rights, your rights are not protected. Two things are required to guarantee rights from a government: a constitution or charter that is extraordinarily difficult to modify, and a court system whose decisions can’t be overturned by the elected government, neither of which the UK has.

I've found that many meetings are poorly organized and a waste of time. Meetings can be effective, but they need a few things: 1) a clear purpose, 2) an agenda, 3) structured progression through the agenda, 4) someone to keep things on track and stop things from going off the rails, 5) written notes or other written output.

Getting people to do this things has proven difficult.

I have found that you can replace most meetings, or at least parts if meetings, with asynchronous written communication. The problem is that many of the non-technical people don't seem to want to write things down - maybe they aren't good at writing, or maybe they are more persuasive or better recieved via verbal communication. It's certainly faster to tell someone to do something than write out sensible requirements.
There can be quality papers on Vixra, sure. But I'm not about to sift through all of the bad ones to find them. That's not an appeal to authority fallacy, that's a useful heuristic.

The level of interest in ChatGPT is completely bonkers.

My YouTube channel is mostly about embedded programming and electronics. But I posted a video on using the OpenAI APIs to make a ChatGPT equivalent. It’s performing better than any of my other content purely from the search traffic.

The comments are very interesting and it’s quite obvious that a lot of them are from non tech people who have heard that you can get rich from ChatGPT.
A bit disappointing that one has to search for an airport to have it displayed. One of my favourite parts of OpenRailwayMap is to explore tracks I'm unfamiliar with (particularly abandoned tracks), but this map seems to require one to know where one is going, rather than exploring.

First, a points on in-person meetings : I'm an introvert. I like people, but they tire me, and the more people, the faster my brain shut down. If I have a 3 hour meeting each Tuesday, my productivity each Tuesday will be between 1 and 3 hours max, even when I'm super involved and own the product.

Moreover:

- I need time to internalize what I learned from other people. If I go to work too fast, I probably won't have understood what was said and loose even more time. Since I want to get back to work after long meetings, and since my brain is dead, it lead to really poor decisions (nowadays I just scrap the code entirely and start from scratch rather than try to salvage).

- Online meetings feel worse. When too many people are involved, you can't just be a passive listener for 45+ minutes. But if you do other work, you might miss information.

- okay meeting size is four to seven , if you all have a basic knowledge of what will be discussed. Can be pushed if the team is tight and not too much junior.

- best meeting size is two to three.

All other sizes, you'd rather do a presentation with some interactivity and with the support available to everyone at the end.

Yeah, in hindsight this is kind of a stupid bill.

Google is a wide monopoly. They dont need to directly serve news if it isnt profitable.
Accidental typos aren't the only way this could be used. You could open a PR that contributes a new feature - all the code looks good, and the feature works as expected, but included in the PR is a new malicious dependency that uses deon.land instead of deno.land. That's an easy thing to miss when reviewing a large PR.
ChatGPT is that curation, isn't it?

Consumes a bunch of info that no human ever could. Develop a map of said info. Generate content. Rinse and repeat.
The problem is, if the officer doesn't believe your reason is good enough, you end up having to go to court over it - which is expensive, and you may well lose and catch a custodial sentence.

A lot of white collar professionals that I personally know, who didn't write a single line of code in their entire life's, use ChatGPT daily. Sure, when you just ask it questions, it hallucinates bullshit a lot. But when you ask it to process your input, for example, to write a professional sounding document based on your hectic bullet points, it's stellar. And a lot of white collar work is exactly this.
