You can sort of fix this in a free market system through reinsurance which spreads the risk out across multiple counterparties with deep capital reserves. But ultimately the only way to eliminate the risk is through insurance by a sovereign with the ability to levy taxes and print fiat currency.
It's not necessarily an easy problem to solve because as technologies like ChatGPT get deployed they will be able to effectively handle more and more customer issues. So I think it's going to be a more and more rapidly changing landscape. I do think that, at least for payed services, there will need to always be a human fallback that you can get through to if the system can't resolve your issue to your satisfaction, even when 90 to 99% of requests can be handled automatically.

For companies that don't provide that I guess for now the solution is to not do business with them.
I like this turn of phrase. Will employ in future.
As an SRE Manager, this is causing me a hell of a headache this morning.

In 30 days a bunch of images we depend on may just disappear. We mostly depend on images from relatively large organizations (`alpine`, `node`, `golang`, etc), so one would want to believe that we'll be fine - they're all either in the open source program or will pay. But I can't hang my hat on that. If those images disappear, we lose the ability to release and that's not acceptable.

There's no way for us to see which organizations have paid and which haven't. Which are members of the open source program and which aren't. I can't even tell which images are likely at risk.

The best I can come up with, at the moment, is waiting for each organization to make some sort of announcement with one of "We've paid, don't worry", "We're migrating, here's where", or "We've applied to the open source program". And if organizations don't do that... I mean, 30 days isn't enough time to find alternatives and migrate.

So we're just left basically hoping that nothing blows up in 30 days.

And companies that do that to me give me a very strong incentive to never use their products and tools if I can avoid it.
Quality doesn’t conflict with the actual development time, it conflicts with imagined development time. From experience we know screwing up is very expensive.
The best educational experience I've had in life was this summer course I took at Columbia as a high-schooler about "graphics programming."

In the morning, we would study a little bit of the physics and math behind image rendering. I didn't have a lot of the content in school, and this is where I learned all the high-school math around matrices and vectors. The instructor truly did an unbelievable job motivating us with this "real" problem we had about understanding the natural world, and then going through exploring how we could marshal the math to make it work.

Then, in the afternoon, we'd turn our attention to the computers, where we would then implement in C the math that we had done in the morning. We all literally started from a "blank sheet of paper," and over the course of a month build our own very simple rendering engine, including all of the helper math functions that it relied on, to a point where it could consume files with vertex information and render a 3D image on the screen. It was... absolutely exhilerating.

I vividly recall our discussion about aliasing, and just how awesome it felt being an "investigator" and thinking deeply about this phenomenon I had noticed while using paint, and now uncovering what to me where insanely clever strategies on how to mitigate it.

I've become an educator, and to this day I hold that as the gold standard for what an incredible educational experience can be. I've tried many times, but if I'm being honest I don't think I've come close to delivering to my kids what that course did for me those years ago. I'm embarrassed to say I don't remember the instructor's name, because I wish I could publicly give him a ton of credit for it.

That really is a CFO's job. To assess risk, and distribute it. Larger amounts in larger banks are swept across multiple branches transparently to reduce the account holders risks for individual branch failures.

However, the FDIC limit is REALLY low in today's terms. $250k limit was set in 2010. The money stock has been printed 143% more since 2010. To me that is about $607k in today's dollars.

> "It's important that you learn how to do this yourself!"

I find this response by the AI tutor to be unbearably ironic - if there's an AI that could do it better than me, and well enough to teach me, then it seems quite unimportant that I learn to do it myself. While of course I see a benefit to some people learning mathematics from scratch, for advanced research and continuity purposes, at this point I think that saying that it's important for "everyone" to learn math (at least beyond the very basics) is almost equivalent to saying that it's important that everyone learn how to grow grain, weave fabric and mix cement.
> stablecoins are about to become a Very Good Deal for ordinary people

> the UX of stablecoins is becoming vastly superior to bank deposits because you'll be immune to bank runs, control your own money, and have instant access to global markets, including for low-risk yield on your stablecoins, such as in treasuries or over-collateralized lending

I disagree, but OK

> over the weekend, USDC did lose its $1 peg and trade as low as ~$0.88

Hmmm doesn't seem like a Very Good Deal for an ordinary person.

> However note

Oh, now I see what you're doing. It's a Very Good Deal, except reasons

> However, all USDC holders were able to maintain access their USDC to do whatever they wanted with it

So it might have dropped 12%, but they still had access. That's a win to you?

Your definition of stable is vastly different than mine.

If a rich great childhood was sufficient to build great businesses, then shouldn't we expect a middle-class childhood to be sufficient to build a decent business?

But a lot of middle-class people try and fail to create any kind of business.

The reason is that it takes more than money and education to build a business.

Money and education are necessary to build a great business, like electricity is for your home, but insufficient, as your home also needs good construction, running water, etc.

Podman-compose isn't fully compatible with the new compose spec.

Also I really don't care if docker has a daemon or not, for me it offers feature like auto starting containers without bothering with SystemD, and auto updates using watchtower and the docker socket.

And since podman doesn't have an official distro package repo like docker, you are stuck use whatever old version shipped in your distro without recent improvements, which is important for a very active development project.

It's also worth noting that the US government itself sometimes uses USDC when there is no better option. If there were any doubts of USDC's legitimacy, the government would be trying to shut it down (see: USDT), not using it for transfers.

I don't like the idea of millionaires who make bad decisons being bailed out either, but it's not clear that is what is happening here.

Firstly not clear that this is really a bail-out in the usual sense. No tax-payer money is going to these millionaires, and any costs (if there are any, which isn't entirely clear) are going to go to other banks and their shareholders.

Secondly not clear that depositing money in SVB was a "bad decision" - doing this wasn't a risky thing VCs did to try and get rich.

At some point i did this with gradle (i'm a Java guy):

https://hg.sr.ht/~twic/devtools/browse/bin/gradle?rev=tip

If i'm in a directory with a gradle wrapper, i essentially never want to run any globally installed gradle, i want to run the one in the wrapper.

It's more of a mixed bag with python. If i do:

cd ~/myproject
python main.py

Then yes, i want to use the venv in ~/myproject.

If i do:

cd ~/myproject
salt '*' status.all_status

I do not want to run salt using the venv in ~/myproject!

On the other hand, if i do:

python ~/myproject/main.py

I think i'd like to use the venv in ~/myproject.

So maybe resolve the file that will get run, then look for a venv in the vicinity of that?

What happens when you do:

cd ~/myproject
python -m json.tool data.json

?

Another option would be to introduce a new set of commands - vpython runs python using a nearby venv, vpip runs pip using it, etc. Or call the ppython, ppip, etc - less mnemonic, but faster to type.
Show HN: I made a website to view Unity log files
Sometimes I download a Unity log file to debug an issue and find it to be unreadable compared to the editor console. So, I made a website with an interface just like the editor console to view logs. Meet Proxima Log Viewer!

Features:

- View logs in a list like the editor. Click on logs to see full message and stack (if available). It will try to detect if the log is info/warning/error from the stack.

- Filter logs by type or search query

- Collapse similar logs.

- Dynamically loads/unloads logs as you scroll for performance.

The hard thing about Type-C is that it, until late 2021, only supported 100w charging..which is woefully lacking. That's actually part of the reason Apple bought Magsafe back, it allowed them to stay within USB spec while pushing more than 100w to the M1 Max. Plus it meant that they could make an out-of-spec charging adapter that only enabled the out-of-spec mode when used with a specific cable while fully supporting all forms of type-c charging. Where we landed really is best of all worlds.
We've lived through several technological revolutions: the computer, internet, cloud computing, apps, GPUs.

The outcome for most of these is usually unknown. Sure, PCs led to spreadsheets. But they created tons of other things. The internet brought about an era of misinformation and porn, but also spawned Facebook and cheap books in your pocket. Apps led to ride sharing and the ability to report that asshole who ran the red light.

AI will do a lot of obvious things, but I'd say 80% of the things that emerge is unexpected. I mean, LLMs are basically text autocomplete machines and as of today, they answer physics questions better than most trained humans. There's an emergent factor.

Whatever AI will become, it won't be Skynet, because it's literally trained to not become that.

Humans are the best creatures on Earth at adapting. Heck, that's probably the only skill we have. My opposable thumbs are literally talking to someone on the opposite side of the planet now. We'll figure it out.
Nothing about that proposal changes how venvs work. It just changes what the global python command does. Anything you do explicitly with a venv today, you could still do under that proposal.
A lot of bad takes in response to this. An actual reason is that if you are as productive for FAANG as the numbers imply, $1M+ in revenue per employee per year, then the value of having a barista make your coffee instead of you taking 10 minutes to do so is well worth the cost. It might cost the company 80$ of your productivity when you make a coffee but only 13$ to pay the barista. That delta over thousands of employees and hundreds of work days adds up.

This is not access to the filesystem.

This is access to some controlled contents that happen to come from the filesystem, with interaction explicitly initiated by the user every time. It gives the browser no access to the structure of the filesystem, no way to navigate it, and crucially no way to transparently read or write anything.

This is good isolation, I'd prefer it to be this way. OFS also gives equally good isolation, I'm fine with that.

Sharing between OFS and the rest of the user's file system should be possible, but only explicitly, a la iOS, Android, and the file upload / download dialog.

As far as I can tell from reading the proposal, this claim is not true. The API is used from the bidding scripts run locally by the browser, and it is the ad space seller that decides which buyers' scripts are eligible to run.

What's often overlooked is that Viaweb was developed, as I recall, in the late 90s when the Internet was in its infancy and there were far less libraries than we have today which made hand-rolling everything in Common Lisp more viable.

The same functionality is available in Hyundai and Kia cars, so the enormous battery is not a prerequisite for this.

Tobacco companies dump over 300 carcinogenic chemicals into cigarettes, called additives, to make them more addictive, and which make up half of nearly all cigarettes.[1] That is what kills people, smoking carcinogenic chemicals. Unadulterated tobacco, such as what pipe smokers use, does not actually cause cancer, yet it shouldn't surprise us why cigarette smokers die in droves. The American Lung Associate did not discriminate: tobacco is bad! Yet all of this information came out during the late 1990's, lawsuit, US v. Philip Morris, and yet the settlement permitted tobacco companies to continue the practice of poisoning cigarettes. Half of the $200B+ settlement was forgiven by the mid-2000s.

But the US Surgeon General had different findings, and the only conclusion that we can make is that it is not tobacco that kills, only cigarettes:

Death rates for current pipe smokers were little if at all higher than for non-smokers, even with men smoking 10 pipefuls per day and with men who had smoked pipes for more than 30 years.[2]

Among the pipe smokers.... The US mortality ratios are 0.8 for non-inhalers and 1.0 for inhalers.[3]

Smoking actual tobacco can cause emphysema, not cancer. But most commercial tobacco is intentionally poisoned to increase the addictiveness of nicotine, and the result is cancer.

> 5. and lets not forget the complete anti-union sentiment and lack of "professionals" to unionize

I would hate for my bonus to be negotiated by the union. Generally the union gets a new funding and the employee get 14,89€ a year as a “hard environment” bonus.

In fact I used to work in a unionized company as a developer, and not only there was groupthink, but the groupthink was bullying the weaker elements.

And as developers, we’re all socially inept, so the weaker elements were most people except the union.

Worst working conditions ever, it was ATOS in France.
> from which they can afford to pay the devs 3x more doesn't actually mean they create 3x more value.

If these two companies are of equal sizings, or if we can find a ratio/cost per engineer/etc that we can say is "equal enough", and we say that Company A makes 3x what Company B makes using this metric, wouldn't it be right to say that Company A's employees produce 3x the profit of Company B?

Given, Company A has a stronghold on the market, government handouts, etc, that are _causing the 3x profit increase_. I for sure agree with that. But, at the end of the day, isn't the employee, the ones producing the output, generating output worth more than Company B?
I feel like this proposal underestimates the size of the audience that doesn't want, need, or use python's various virtual environment options.
This seems like a very thorough study on remote work. Many findings are quite relatable as someone who has been working remotely for the past five years or so. I do think that remote work is as much dependant on the project you are working on as it is when working on-site. Bad projects can feel bad when remote and good projects feel good when remote.

To his credit, I think I first heard about Pharo, and got my foot in the doorway to the Smalltalk world thanks to one of his posts. People mock languages that have lots of newbies asking stupid questions in the Internet, but in the end of the day, given programmers are mortal, if your favorite language has a noob to guru ratio smaller than one, that means it is stale, dead or dying. Even in this thread there's people claiming they never heard about Smalltalk before. For me that means that evangelism efforts like Richard's could benefit the Smalltalk community a lot. There's a lack of awareness in the broader programming community about it, and that's unfortunate.
