Evolution.

I use it for work with my Google Work account, and on my personal machine with my imap provider. Aliases, PGP, autobcc, virtual folders + labels, calendaring, tasks, multiple accounts, ...

I use imap custom labels (flags) + virtual folders and also use imapfilter to automatically add labels based on conditions (can write more complex stuff using lua). I really wish more clients supports imap custom labels. I am a zero inbox person, so its really important to be able to quickly and easily label things.

Invitations + Calendars all work well which is important for work.

As a heavy emacs user, I have considered emacs+mu4e. I think it'd work fine for my personal/side business, but I just don't think it work well for my work, as calendaring is critical.

Ah, I've been on that conversation a few times. My favorite has been a couple of times the conversation went some variant like this:

"Why can't I download this thing from you?"

You have a web filter that is forbidding you.

"No, I don't have a web filter."

Yes, you do.

"No, I definitely don't. You and/or your product suck if they can't download a simple file like this."

Here's the exact page & headers the download process is getting; you have $BRAND web filter, it is complaining that you're violating $POLICY, and it says it's located on this IP/domain address.

"Stop making excuses and just fix it."

Sir, if I was able to just reach out and disable your web filter, you would not actually be happy about that.

"I DON'T. HAVE. A. WEB. FILTER."

(Some hours pass)

"I have spoken with IT and it turns out we do have a web filter. A local blame-finding and finger-pointing meeting has been scheduled for who snuck that on to the network without telling anyone else in the organization. I have now redirected all my quite substantial and more-than-a-little profanity-laced anger towards my IT team, which as I am the VP of $DEPT is going to be a bad time for them; heads may roll. In the meantime, we've gotten the whitelist entry added for this and your stuff is now working fine."

I interpolate a little, obviously, and this is a composite of several incidents I've had over the years, but I do sometimes enjoy the little subtle hints dropped in the last communication we receive on the matter that mean that my last interpolation there is likely quite accurate.

I recently opened Minecraft for the first time in several years to smack a few blocks. Their “telemetry settings” were my favorite. Options? “All” or “minimal”. Unsurprisingly, the game still ran after I disconnected from the Internet to disable all telemetry.
"How to Train Your Dragon" was good, for sure. I'd still enjoy a live action (as live action as you can get with CGI) version.

Ok, but if we focus on results, why has software usability and functionality declined with the rise of telemetry.

I personally think it is because program managers rely on telemetry instead of stakeholder research and industrial design, either because they don’t know better, or because management thinks it will cut costs.

Besides, telemetry is a feature that 0% of users use, so it should be the first to be cut.

That’s mostly on the way you plan structure your code. But also inherent in programming. Make sure you comment your code and keep certain planning central or near to your files.
Personally, I never found Duolingo to be a great app for learning a language. By far the best combo I’ve ever found is following along with Language Transfer [0] lessons and reviewing flash cards using Anki. Adding in-person classes to the mix greatly boosts that.

I’ve learned more Greek in 2 years now with that combo as an adult than I did in a decade learning Spanish as a child by only taking classes. The only thing more effective was living in a city that only spoke the language I was learning after I had achieved a certain level of proficiency.

Duolingo made me feel like I was learning a language and having fun while doing it, but every time I looked back on using it, I observed I really wasn’t learning very effectively with it. It’s far too robotic and impractical in my experience.

Reached 1600 chess.com within a year starting from 600 and 2000 Lichess. What I believe to be more important is how you do something rather than what you do. What I mean is, someone can play many puzzles or games but if you are just blitzing out moves in puzzles even when you haven't calculated to a guaranteed advantage then you aren't learning anything. You are just exploiting what you have learnt over exploring by trying to look for patterns you wouldn't normally look for. Constantly even in complex positions people blitz out moves only to blunder.

This is why I don't recommend bullet to anyone.

> but they will probably earn less as they won't ever be domain experts

I disagree.

I've rarely seen any programmers that are domain experts, most of those domain experts are actually hired in a consultancy role.

As they work through the projects programmers can become very familiar to a specific domain but in general that's not their job and they will be treated as such. They will be consulted on implementation but less likely, if at all, on strategy. Which is what I would expect from a domain expert i.e. a consultant.

The highest paid programmers move jobs most often the lowest paid don't that'll tell you what becoming a domain expert means for a programmer.

The article really seems to be attacking a bit of a straw man - for sure technology-first rather than utility-first isn't the right approach if you're looking to create products, but IMO neither of the examples he leads with are really falling into that trap.

The "suggest a large project I can do in language X" seems to be more about asking for something larger where the given language might be a good choice rather than asking for product ideas. The person asking the question would seem to just be wanting to get some more in-depth/real-world experience with the language they've just learnt and are excited about.

The "suggest a Windows program you'd like to see available on Linux" seems entirely reasonable from POV of market/utility-first. Maybe the newbie's enthusiasm isn't going to be enough to succeed, but no harm in trying to develop something that people actually want rather than coming up with your own toy project.
Not the kind that are trying to steal my attention to increase their sales.
Nowhere in the article says it was engineered.

Upcoming price changes to Linode services
Hello,

As we expand our cloud product portfolio and work to improve the resiliency and reach of our network, we face the same challenges as many of our customers: a tough financial climate with growing costs for data center space, energy usage, and newer hardware. We have resisted making changes to our offerings for as long as possible, and we understand this may not be the news you wish to hear from us, but we are announcing price changes for certain compute services effective April 1, 2023.

On April 1st, you will see the following changes to our pricing model:

Shared and Dedicated CPU plan prices will increase by 20%.
The price of additional IPv4 addresses beyond 1 will increase from $1 to $2 each, per month across all of our existing core data center locations.
Transfer (egress) fees are being reduced from $0.01 to $0.005 per GB* up to 1PB per month across all of our existing core data center locations.
What’s not changing?

The price of Nanodes (1GB Shared CPU plans).
The price of NodeBalancers, Backups, Managed Databases, Linode Images, High Memory plans, GPU plans, and the High-Availability Control Planes on Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) are exempt from price changes. All other cluster nodes deployed with LKE will be billed according to the new Shared or Dedicated CPU pricing.
IPv6 addresses and pools will remain free.
*You will start accruing the new cost of these services on April 1st, and they will be reflected on the first invoice you receive after that date.

Despite these changes, we remain more aggressively priced than our peer providers, and with continued investment in our cloud computing services, customers can look forward to new and improved services on our roadmap:

Network expansion, with existing and new data centers running on the Akamai backbone.
New ISO, SOC 2, and HIPAA standards compliance.
Capacity improvements across the board.
New core and distributed sites as part of the Akamai Connected Cloud.
Performance updates to cloud primitives like Object Storage.
New services like VPC and Functions for serverless compute.
We believe this is the best way to build a bigger and better platform that enables your cloud computing success in the future, and we hope that you’ll stick with us through this period of growth and change.

I mean, yes, if you do something completely fucking idiotic like put an IO operation inside a tight calculation loop, then all your speed gains will vanish. But I don't see how that refutes anything.

I’ve been playing with this recently and it’s made game development fun for me again. The prospect of creating an account, signing a bunch of EULAs, installing an Electron ”version manager” so I can install a massive engine, hook it up to a massive IDE, only to have it all instantly crash just about extinguished any spark I had left for game development.

But Godot is like a breath of fresh air. Lightweight, beautiful abstractions, with a lot of horsepower to back it up. It crashes as much as the competitors if not more, but man is it fun!

Even the Godot subreddit feels like a breath of fresh air compared to /r/gamedev. People are just having fun.
okay, I do see what you're saying now you explain it, but can you see how your original comment can appear more like "I find Elon criticising OpenAI weird: OpenAI is fine because these two guys I know [/of] are at the helm"
Dependabot helps when fixes are available and/or if your automation and test coverage is strong. Context from what’s running can help focus your efforts when more investigation is required, if the CVE is tricky or fixes need to be tracked and rolled out across a lot of teams. You'll see a lot of CVEs marked "won't fix" for example.
Totally hijacking this cool product to say something else I wish AI would do for us: better highlight reels for sports games.

Sure, the news can give us the 30-second version that has all the goals (or touchdowns or whatever), but I'd love an AI to edit a 90 minute game into a 15 minute game. Or 10 minute or 20 minute, or whatever the viewer has time for.

It would keep all the goals, of course, but also keep all the near misses and moments of tension and uncertainty, making it feel like a full game in a smaller time.
Basically this. Once you establish a track record of paying for things, you will be expected to pay for everything.

It’s not only feature requests. I’ve filed bug reports on open source projects complete with example reproduction cases and summaries of my debug knowledge, only to have the maintainers demand money for it. In the last case, the bug was a show-stopper that led us to switch to a different library, but I thought I’d do them a favor and share my knowledge as we switched. The response was a snarky reply about how we need to hire and pay them if we want it fixed (even though we didn’t need it any more).

Lately I’ll just submit big reports from my personal email/account to avoid this whole back and forth.
A corporation lied. Where are my pearls?!!!

In 1970, OpenAI would have been funded by the DARPA and would have been deployed along with the internet. Americans decided that it Morning in America meant corporations should eat all of our lunches. It was a bad decision but, we elected Trump, so it's clear we can't have nice things.

My beef with this article is all the criticism of chatGPT itself. Not a single complaint is valid. It's fine if it says weird stuff. Nobody expects (or should) it to be perfect presently. Programming that can be done by it is grunt work anyway. You're better off on unemployment figuring out how to do something cool.

Undefined behavior means the language provides no guarantees about the outcome. Whatever happens is up to the compiler, or rather the specific implementation of the compiler, and the target architecture on which the program is run. These things are not constrained by any spec or guarantee, so they are allowed to change, for any reason, to anything. These changes may be triggered by not only different execution environments, but also changes to properties of a given execution environment. The behavior of a program with undefined behavior is non-deterministic, and cannot be predicted, modeled, or effectively maintained.

> 4 years of development.

For some perspective, console generations are usually around 6-7 years. Given their stated AAA aspirations, I wonder what the future development process will actually look like, because another dark age like from Godot 3 to 4 would be a deal breaker. It's easy to say "future 4.x releases will come with a much faster cadence", but it's also easy to decide that something else absolutely needs to be rebuilt from the ground up in a multi-year effort.

But negativity aside, finally having a stable release is great. Godot is a really nice engine, and definitely a huge step up from the existing commercial engines in terms of usability.
congrats on the launch!

three questions / thoughts:

1) Your post mentions "Ranking", and while do the most impactful work first is great, the method I have most often used is when dealing with Vuln-overload is to "Reclassify". That is Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) (super flawed as it is) has let reporters check the box for "remotely exploitable" therefore its a 8.0 HIGH vulnerability -- but I think your product could let me reclassify the vuln to a medium/low - maybe a built in CVSS score editor?

2) One other thing there should also be a built-in concept of "accepting the risk" -- and ideally a concrete report of what was previously "accepted", and if that package gets used in new ways?

3) I'm curious what you think about market segmentation in this space? Specifically the sub-200? person companies seem to be using alot of the "all in one" Compliance platforms (eg, Vanta, Drata, etc). Vanta for example does have a vuln management + SLA tracking dashboard + ticketing tools.
My gender is icecream gender, and I wish they would allow me to use 'Ice/Icem' as a pronoun.
Unfortunately that's the conclusion that most managers will draw, without asking more questions.

But knowing that only 1% of users use this feature is not enough to make that decision:

- maybe 1% of your users only use it, but they are the ones that pay the most money

- or it's the most prolific users so it generates half of your content

- or it's a niche feature used by power users, but those users are the ones bringing other users, introducing you to companies and doing free support

- or it needs to be used by only 1% of the users by design, and it's enough to be useful (E.G: bug report form)

- or your report it wrong, it's one percent of all accounts, but 10% of actually active users

etc.

Most telemetry will not tell you that of course.

The Dissident Fringe, Where the New Right Meets the Far Left
Eliezer says anything, for conscious or unconscious reasons, to further spread his opinions as fact. There is also a large profit incentive for him to do so, since his foundation and personal income depends on donations from people who are concerned about AI safety. I've seen him imply some pretty ridiculous things that amount to hyperbole.

He is ultimately doing nothing in the engineering and development side of AI and his predictions about this technology are based on armchair philosophy exercises, not reality.

As an aside, I love this gem from the transcript: "We're all crypto investors here. We understand the efficient market hypothesis for sure"

Fairly confident most crypto investors have never even heard that phrase.
Teams is the projection of a fourth dimension ancient Eldritch horror onto the mortal plane. AI had nothing to do with it.
This is the complaint from Plutos perspective. They are likely using client side ad insertion to serve targeted ads. There’s a separate VAST ad manifest which likely goes with the m3u8 url that has all the ad load and beacon data.

This doesn’t happen in an alternative client.

Note they could also be doing server side ads which replaces the individual video segments but there’s limitations there. Most streamers are still focused on client side ad insertion
I bet you I'll love any library in Node.js or the ecosystem itself. That's significantly worse.
For all the GTK2 and GTK3 era apps getting remade, it blows my mind that Evolution is not one of them. It's really comprehensive from a personal productivity point of view. Plugging it into Gmail, you get everything synced up in one interface. It's overwhelming at first, but it quickly became a mainstay for the work week.
Studying openings is a waste of time, even counterproductive, if you’re a beginner who hangs pieces all the time. This advice is much better suited to someone hoping to get over the 2k rating milestone. If you’re below 1k or even mid teens then your best bet is just to play a lot (longer time controls against better opponents) and study your games to look for your blunders, mistakes, and inaccuracies.
I would just rather pay for the program to remove telemetry data than accepting to spy on my device.

I believe this is a better choice for developers and users.
Hmmm. I don't know, I'd argue these are the people that might just happily write the proverbial DestroyBaghdad function.
Yes. for someone that sometimes plays around with microcontrollers but knows very little about electronics I feel if this had detailed documentation it could be the perfect next learning step. Who knows it might event make me take an adventure into ordering custom pcbs and soldering surface mount components.
It looks also like something that won't be used by anyone who is familiar with the existing approaches, generally happy with them and is just looking for tools that would help them with what they are already doing. The nice part is that nobody's trying to push it as a replacement for existing notation programs or DAWs.

Most cities in the US were practically small towns in comparison to the populations of today. The vast majority of most of our cities were built post 1930, with a few exceptions like NYC.

In 1920 the population of LA County was about 900k. In 1950 it was 4 million. In 2020 its now 10 million.

For comparison, the population of Amsterdam went from 650k in 1920 to 835k in 1950 to 872k in 2020.

Considering that we don't have any history of chess until more than 500 years after Seneca's death, in India no less, I think it's fair to say that this is yet another example of "ye olde translationes" editorializing and using too much dynamic equivalence. latrunculi, the word he uses in this sentence at the beginning of chapter XIII, must have referred to a different game.

Plus, I doubt most people would really agree with de brevitate vitae. It's the equivalent of "grind culture" but from the first century. Amusing and interesting but probably not congruent with now most people want to spend their lives. (No shame from me if you do want to live your life that way, but it should just be known that this is far from a neutral perspective.) For a more balanced view of otium (pleasure, relaxation, opposite of negotium, business), I'd recommend the letters of Pliny the Younger.
