I used to work for a while with blind people. The boss of the local blind people community was shooting dad-like jokes about blindness all the time, I loved that attitude!

It helped to make connection with these people and we needed that, because I was developing some app that main audience was blind people and to actually understand their needs and problems you need to make a connection with them.

The most time/cost optimal solution is probably to buy 32 or 64 gigs of ram. That'll still be slow but most people are already half way there.
Absolutely. Or baking. I learned how to make sourdough last year and am now at the point where I make all the bread our family needs. Sourdough is especially deep because the steps are so simple on paper yet so full of nuance to explore. Easy to learn hard to master sort of situation.
Contemporary word fixation is a distraction. People should get off the social media hamster wheel, take a walk, and dream up a more meaningful way to help their fellow man (human / hxmxn / whatever).

It's blown up to the extent that we must now write essays about it, but it would have been better if we had never gone there in the first place.

This stuff is very not new. George Carlin did a rant about it over 30 years ago [1]. Seems like the only real effect is class signaling; those who invest in staying "with it" signal their willingness to pay lip service to the latest ideological fads.

I find that the "gherkin" syntax is not really expressive enough to express requirements in a way that is interesting for the business.

The business therefore always loses interest.

Having had no issues with them sounds unreal.

Everyone has to learn what they can do and what to avoid.

We use the to build our whole system out of one commit, although we have several repos. We made the artificial rule that a commit that updates a submodule must not contain any other changes. It has reduced the number of problems especially related to rebasing.
We tried it once and the semi-tech SMEs had no desire to write cucumber code so it ended up being the developers who hated writing in a second language. No real benefit.

This happens outside of America. I believe it’s to avoid the risk of the employee maliciously causing damage after being given the news.
It is feasible actually. Graduated med school with two people in their late 30s, early 40s. You didn't ask for it but be forewarned: it'll take 10 years before you have a realistic taste of what the job actually is like. I don't usually speak in absolutes, but I will confidently claim that no amount of shadowing, training, volunteering in clinics/hospitals, or family will provide you with a shortcut to that experience. Could talk for days about this, but I have a cloud to go yell at.
Perhaps, but that feels like a distinct claim, rather than a reason to just lump these things together, or a reason to assert one is the rehash of another. And either way, the philosophy in question here is not about embodiment of platonic forms, but rather simply the agency/character of plain objects on their own terms.

If you are interested at all, the book they reference is quite good, and almost certainly not what you'd expect. Ill just say it's more Deleuze than Plato :)
I think people embrace Python because they think it's easy to learn and use. While that might be true, the real complexity lies not in learning and using a language (unless it's Rust) but in learning the libraries, frameworks, idioms, dos, don'ts, tooling.

You can't fix the problem, period, certainly not by talking about it. The internet offers catharsis, not praxis. Americans have no more ability to affect their government's imperial capitalist agenda than they do to command the tides, others outside of the US even less so.

I really want to move into teaching. I learned to love programming in HS AP CS and am really considering making the move. I would love to hear more about your experience switching.
You need to manage loneliness. Almost no-one can do what you’re about to do, unless they had a similar tech career.

It might ironically be easier to start a company. At least you know half of the stuff (tech); and the other half you have to learn from scratch. But knowing one half is a bit like being talented when you learn the other half - it gives you a head start over all the MBAs.

Something to consider: small phones are a niche and producing them is a way of capturing a specific set of customers.

I was an Android guy, but one of the top two reasons my newest phone is an iPhone is due to the small form factor (the other is longer support cycles). If Apple stops making small phones, my next one may well be an Android.

On consideration, capturing a niche market segment like this may be more valuable for Apple than it is for other manufacturers, as it increases the odds of getting them locked into your ecosystem.
Coolify (https://coolify.io/) has support for deploying docker-compose based app. It works quite well and is easy to use. You still need to manage the server on which you deploy the tool, though.
There can be more than one reason to do something… perhaps security isn’t the primary, but it is still in there. It is the startup time that relates to security.
Does that mean they think they would themselves do that? And on other hand do they not trust their own systems to protect from these actions? Or being legally capable of suing employees?
> Could be anything.

How about something like woodworking?
They are both wrong and it's a contrived question. Tech used to race to solve common real world problems. The tech industry would obsess over those issues and got rewards from Wall Street. If one ignores the march to smaller form factors and speed, the last capability that tech delivered in my eyes is networking. I believe the only reason things like, self-driving cars or AI are endlessly hyped is to keep Wall Street thinking there is some big thing happening that they must invest in. I long for the day where technology is boring and nerds are outcasts.
How does that work? I don't see any way that just turning the bars would imprint forward momentum.

> I'm just curious, how did Elon acquire Twitter using loans guaranteed by his Tesla shares, and then he was able to unload his loans on Twitter, the company?

Well that's easy. And is very typical for all private equity transactions.

I take out a loan to buy a company. Once I own the company I can do what ever I want with it. The loans were taken out to buy the company and therefor get assigned to the company.

That just makes sense as the company is the reason for the loans in the first place.

Decade or so ago I was once in a room with a group of people where one person was blind. An acquaintance of the blind person came into the room and said oh hey good to see you to him. The blind person replied back to them with one of the best comebacks I’ve ever heard in my life with “well I’ve never seen you” before” and had the whole room laughing.
During development I don't really care, but every once in a while I commit them so that there's a known-good configuration to start over with.
This is awesome, thanks to the authors of this, as well as all the authors involved in the Rust text rendering ecosystem.

While browsing this, I found the Rustybuzz project which implements the Harfbuzz shaping algorithm in pure Rust. Harfbuzz is yet another example of a mission critical piece of infrastructure that is maintained with meager resources. It is excellent to have an alternative.

Text rendering is truly a daunting engineering problem.

The safety aspects of Rust are well suited to this problem space, as the fonts and the text we render are often coming from untrusted sources. TrueType font parser bugs have been exploited in the past.

Thanks to everyone who has put their time and effort into this. Truly important work.
>then it turns out that those business folks aren't really interested in it

It's weird how business folks can just go "nope not doing that" to a process that was created to give them more say and doesn't make sense without them.
I think a lot of this stuff boils down to Elon Musk being absolutely ruthlessly uncompromising in his hiring and technology vision and management.

His management style may not be agreeable to people and he gets criticized for that a lot obviously. But the technical vision that he drives at Tesla, SpaceX, and his other companies are undeniable what makes these companies so valuable.

And it's exactly where his competitor's performance is less than stellar. Particularly at the companies you mention.
Good management knows when it knows less than the ICs it oversees. That’s a benefit. If your troops are experts at many things, you can rely on them and focus elsewhere.

Bad management doesn’t know what they don’t know, doesn’t know what you know, doesn’t understand that you know more, and possibly at the same time subconsciously does and fears a knife in your hand.

Never let the stress of bad management impact your health. And if it isn’t and the money is fine, try to laugh. Your “superior” is only that in hierarchy. Never let them suggest otherwise. Shoot, if you want some fun and don’t mind some fallout, go talk to HR.

As a one liner, if you feel motivated manage up, if you feel demotivated, leave, and if you feel feisty, reach out to HR. Or do none of these because I’m a stranger on the internet.

Just don’t let the words of a fool get you down.
This line is probably smaller than it may appear. The reason much of this language policing started is because of the dominant group using language to reinforce the inferiority of a less powerful group.

It’s always easier for the dominant group to say “it’s just words — no one cares” since the words are never at their expense.
An actual AI might well be (which is what Musk is talking about).

But what we have today is as far from that as the wheelbarrow is from the Space Shuttle (which is what Gates is talking about).
Important to point out that AI and robots don't 'take' peoples jobs. Rather managers fire people and then replace them with robots and AI.
$30m training cost is too high. Amazon's p4d.24xlarge is $32.77 an hour for 8 A100 GPUs. 2048 A100 GPUs for 23 days costs $4.6m at that rate. You might even get a discount.
For me it's not that I don't feel lucky or enjoy my job in a general sense I guess. I just don't want to do the same thing over and over again my whole life. I started programming on a Commodore at like 6 or 7 years old and have basically never stopped now that I'm in my 40s.
AutoHotkey enables Emacs-like extensibility at the OS level rather than the application level. Some of my macros and shortcuts apply in every text field I interact with, even this comment field on Hacker News. Whether I'm editing in VS Code or vim or Microsoft freakin' Notepad, my macros travel with me. I like that a lot better than being locked into any specific editor and unable to get comfortable outside of it.

Do you have numbers on that? Specifically, that the average transwoman athlete moves neither up nor down in her rankings compared to when she was a man? My personal exposure is purely anecdotal, but I have never heard of someone performing worse against women than they did against men unless they also changed their preferred sport at the same time.
I would definitely be at danger of getting into the habit of just saying no if I was asked everytime it changed, especially early in the dev cycle. However, if it was just at pull request time, I probably wouldn't get frustrated with it.
> By the way, iMessage is XMPP. Whatsapp is XMPP. Just artificially closed. Long etc.

I've heard these rumors, but they don't seem to be true. WhatsApp seems to have moved on a long time ago (to a binary format wrapped in an implementation of the noise protocol framework) and I find zero indication iMessage was ever XMPP.

But that's besides the point. XMPP is great for a uniform ecosystem (in fact, a lot of XEPs are some company standardizing their use-case), but awful if you allow federation and third party clients.
Thanks! :D

I had more one-off project domains than I’m ready to admit, but then one day I realised I can buy a generic project domain that is 1) cheaper 2) thus possible to maintain longer 3) reduces decision-fatigue from new projects as I only need to choose one subdomain and not weigh cool TLDs vs price.
So how can someone phrase the exact same question in a different way that is not a dogwhistle?
can confirm - did exactly this. Plus big+immediate quality of life improvements from the work you do! Note: "woodworking" also includes composites and some plastics (metal and paper are different). Laser cutters and 3D printers add fascinating options, e.g. laser cut a template for use with a handheld router.

there's also an egalitarian community in "builders" and you'll find all sorts of friends who just-so-happen to also have interest/skills in this stuff.
Hi the same thing did happen to me a few weeks ago and not for the first time. I decide to migrate over the ClickHouse after reading this blog: https://clickhouse.com/blog/hifis-migration-from-bigquery-to... Took me less than two weeks to completely migrate over. It saves costs but more important I did gain performance!

People have been conditioned to mistrust everything, even the premise of objective reality, to the point that they don't believe it matters - ChatGPT being wrong some of the time is still seen as preferable to the perceived status quo that all media, politicians, scientists, scholars and everyone on the internet actively lie to you and manipulate you all the time.
Was this comment made outside your fasting window?

Alternatively, I set a 20 min daily timer for chrome on my phone, seems to help a lot.
It really depends on what you're doing, but I don't think it is generally accurate.

What slows Python down is generally the "everything is an object" attitude of the interpreter. I.e. you call a function, the interpreter has to first create an object of the thing you're calling.

In C++, due to zero-cost abstractions, this usually just boils down to a CALL instruction preceded by a bunch of PUSH instructions in assembly, based on the number of parameters (and call convention). This is of course a lot faster than running through the abstractions of creating some Python object.
I don't think "whacking off to porn is detrimental" is a solely Mormon perspective.

That said, if you had to pick a group who can claim that they have figured out what it takes to have many children, Mormons are it, right?

Gotta love how Musk brings actual practical solutions to issues that leftists are usually more concerned about, they must hate it. :o)

Same with SpaceX bringing an end to reliance on Russia. Without him, space industry would still be dangerously reliant on Putin.
Misconception #2

Candidates for the remaining Commission portfolios have to go through a tough parliamentary vetting process too.

The European Council, in agreement with the Commission President-elect, adopts a list of candidate commissioners, one for each member state. These Commissioners-designate appear before parliamentary committees in their prospective fields of responsibility. Each committee then meets to draw up its evaluation of the candidate's expertise and performance, which is sent to the President of the Parliament

After the President and Commissioners have been approved by Parliament, they are formally appointed by the European Council, acting by a qualified majority.
> Show how there is causal deterministic connection between the environment and behavior of a thinking person.

...how could there not be? The idea that we're separate from the environment is an abstraction that allows us to operate in the world but it isn't reality. We're made up of the same elements as everything around us. We are created and built from them, and our brain is an elaborate machine operating on electro-chemical interactions.

If our environment could not influence our behavior, then psychology and psychiatry wouldn't exist.

The only substantial difference is the scale of the system. That you cannot draw a straight line from cause to outcome does not mean the system is not deterministic[0], it just means that it is too complex for you to comprehend.

[0] One might be inclined to bring up quantum mechanics, but that's a property of the entire universe including the river. And quantum behavior is very predictable, even if it is not exactly deterministic.
She’s in Church of the SubGenius. Gotta be.
What about input method editors? Don't you need to install those on windows and macOS as well (unless you are happy with the method provided by OS)? Or are the third party input method editors less popular now? (I don't use any of the languages requiring them so I don't know how widely are they used at the moment).
Or a copy of Windows or Office source code.
But the word is not about agency: it expresses a state. How that state was achieved, doesn't matter. Are we going to say "enprisoned people", "people who somehow and totally against their will caught COVID", "people who accidentally experience permanent, fully reduced hearing"? Do you still call people who once were, but not longer are, slaves, enslaved?

The assumption behind it all is that if someone can make a inference about your thoughts, no matter how far-fetched, those thoughts must contribute to an undesirable state, hence you are a bad person.

yep my wife and I.
we retired from tech ( startups) at 50. In order to keep out minds working AND make a buck we decided to both trade options. Luckily for us we have chums who own a trading environment that teaches people, like us, how to do this effectively and so we set off on our adventure. Very quickly into this I decided to code up a trading analysis dashboard which gave us guidance as to the REALITY of our approach. This coded in Python and Dash based on the math taught to us by a good chum who is a retired floor trader from the Cboe. Pretty successful one I might add. We read the financial times ONLY twice a week ( Fri and Sat) to find out what others are thinking but our REAL trading happens in the math. So I suppose it's an amalgam of tech and new adventure. The trading takes about 20 minutes a day and for the rest to the time we are out and about having fun in Chicago. I'm looking at a language called Julia to move to from Python but that is NOT going well and I am planning on chatting to the Carbon people next month. Hope this helps a little
Agreed. It's because Emacs truly respects the user. It is the embodiment of Free Software ideals. Those ideals center around community. Emacs helps us understand how capable we are.
I'm colourblind so I'd posit that the people who banned the term brown-bag are ableist.
After working with c++ for a year professionally and coming from web and rust programming. Definitely the latter. The language is a steaming pile of garbage. The existence of cppfront by herb sutter proves that. It feels like every default has the wrong behavior.

Depending on how exactly you mean use, I would not say so, because chatgpt cannot actually summarize anything.

In this case it may be ok because we may assume the author looked over the result and agrees with it. They could remove the citation as far as I'm concerned, the same way they don't have to cite their spell checker.

But a summary is a distillation of an understanding.

chatgpt does not understand anything, it is merely pattern-matching against and recomposing other texts.

The only reason the result is even half way sensible is because as of today, most other text that it is matching against and recomposing was written by people who did understand what they were writing and writing about.

So I would perhaps agree that a person using it as part of the process of their own writing is a good use case. But I would not agree that chatgpt can summarize things, and would not say that letting it do the entire job of interpreting and restating is a good use case.
Or they could start working with wood.
