Sure but like.........people always say that (for example) in London you can't live closer to work because houses/flats are too expensive. Ok, I mean that's true, but how are you going to solve that? It's a gigantic city which is already full to the brim, with literally 1000+ years of building on top of every single square inch of land available. You would probably have to demolish large areas of London and replace them with high-density housing to match demand - but obviously that's never going to happen. What other options are there? Maybe the only inevitable conclusion is that not everyone can live in London(or any other major city). You can't fix expensive housing in them by just wishing they were cheaper, or with regulations(or I'd love to hear how any regulations would help, beyond banning things like AirBnb).
Yes, drivers who blow through red lights and stop signs like the bad actor cyclists do will find themselves in jail (on reckless driving charges, incidentally) pretty fast. You're trying to compare apples and oranges here: a driver who happened to not see someone while driving (because they were driving more aggressively than you liked) vs. people who regularly flout traffic laws.
> So it sounds like they are not accounting for things like changes between crops or changing which areas are cultivated, which could be pretty significant.
> it seems like you would have account for more Canadian land becoming arable and agriculture spreading further north.

It's a map. It's litterally showing the changes by areas. And the map does show areas with increased maize yield, such as Southern Africa, but these don't include Canada or Russia. Potentially the full volume will include other crops yields and more details that you are hoping for.

Of course, the world will adapt and change their crops, but it will come at a cost for people who are unable to adapt, such as farmers in underdeveloped countries.

Ryan Dahl's talk reminds me of the time I came back to a forum I created and then neglected after being distracted by university for four years.

The forum had taken off while I was MIA. In spite of me being MIA. And while I could write a manifesto about how the forum had gone in a direction I didn't necessarily want, I had to admit that my plans for the forum weren't better nor more correct than the plans that emerged organically from the community over the years.

When you create something with a community and ecosystem, it's easy to see the success of the ecosystem and the downstream success of the people within it as your success when in reality you are more like an early collaborator who set the stage for others to join in and take it from there.

A good example of this in my case was the hubris that, because I created that one big forum, I could create more successful forums. I never hit gold again. I realized I wasn't some master forum creator, just someone who started something at the right time and the right place with just enough TLC to attract other builders, and that I didn't have some divine insight into how to start a successful forum. Oof.
That's a recursive definition, it precludes expansion of not-immune behavior. Any behavior you think should be unworthy of immunity by definition has not yet been demonstrated as being unworthy of immunity? And therefore is worthy of immunity?
>not "tool + human systems" doing what you expect them to. These are two different things.

Please explain how?

>Or are you going to unironically tell me they would blame the hammer + human system?

As your tooling gets more complex, yes it is very easy to have a non-zero blame assignment to each party. Look at any human+machine system where complex failure conditions can occur.
imagine how much of a shit show it would be if every single one of these people tried to commute in one day in their own individual vehicle instead of a bicycle.

It's the space efficiency of the bicycle that allows London to function at this point.
As mentioned elsewhere, you cannot reliably use a Makefile on Windows. A Makefile also is not aware of things like Node execution paths, the way `yarn exec` is. You're then pushing more stuff down to the writer of the package.json file, who is more likely to make mistakes in retail then you as a platform designer are likely to make in wholesale.

There are good reasons for things to converge the way they have. [EDIT: removed uncharitable reading]
I'm worried about riding my bike in the city. A friend of mine died on her bike when hit by a truck in Seattle a few years ago and since then I just don't feel okay biking alongside cars any more, especially with kids.

I know this is fundamentally born of emotion rather than rationalism, but still, it does seem like riding a bike is much more dangerous than driving. Bicycles are somewhere from 3x to 11x more dangerous than cars.

https://bicycleuniverse.com/bicycle-safety-almanac/

When I visited Amsterdam I liked how they often had separated bike lanes, not like in the US where cars can and do just drive through the bike lanes, like an actual physical barrier preventing cars from driving through bike lanes. Maybe that would be a lot safer, but, I won't hold my breath on that coming to the US.
I prefer Rudyard Kipling's If.
You can take a cab on the one day you're without a bike.
Why would you try to run a site like that based on ad revenue? It makes no sense.
> The legislation is really good actually; it orders sites that want to place tracking cookies (Google Analytics for example relies on this) to request consent from the user before they're allowed to do so. That's all it requests.

The problem is that “tracking cookies” is defined so broadly that it can be interpreted as nearly any kind of cookie, and risk-averse legal teams want to make sure they have all their bases covered.
That's a terribly stupid way to think about it. For one, it's not like you take one class and you're done with school. For two, it's not like your "45 credit hour" class is literally just 45 hours of "learning". If it's a computer science or engineering class, you're likely going to have homework assignments and projects that will consume as much or more time than the face to face instruction.

Also, usually what you're learning in class are the fundamentals that undergird what you need to know for software development in the job. The basic underpinnings and context to understand what you're learning those first two weeks on the job.

And if you're going to be that dismissive about what you learn in a college course, I'll tell you most of what I learned the first two weeks on the job: how to use the specific IDE the team I was hired onto preferred, how to build their specific project (barely applicable outside the project), how to contact IT to get a ticket to get them to install the IDE because I didn't have permission to, how to use the timecard website to log my hours, where the people on my team prefer to go out for lunch, a few hours of HR sexual harassment and cybersecurity training, how to set up my 401k and medical benefits, etc. etc. Basically, nothing to do with "computer science" which is what the original post was about.
The blog post didn't make it sound like this was implemented just for the sake of backwards compatibility, it sounds more like an admission that Deno's take on package management isn't a superior solution to how Node did it before.
It's honestly mind boggling that we grant such tremendous grace to abuses of power from folks who don't consistently experience any form of accredited training, and who much of the time have been on the job an amount of time that would make them an apprentice in any other profession.
Nice to see Blender team being thanked as major contributors for Gitea :)
> His point was that the mere ability was the issue

Can you elaborate?

> so they're going against their original values because they know what they wanted isn't what the broader community wants.

No, they are still sticking to everything, but added support for the existing ecosystem. Yes they are adding this to combat the network effect that node has, but it doesn't really go against anything. You simply prefix npm in front of npm imports. Now you could use a package.json file if you already have one, but you don't have to.
Barely related autoplay video that unmutes on click, only a second click stops it, can't be closed, later some completely unrelated stock data appears around the video. The people that made this website should be ashamed.

Anyways, this is ridiculous: What's their selection? I'd argue that 99% of firms world wide are not drafting policies on ChatGPT use. Gartner probably only asked HR and marketing busybodies who feel like they need a public opinion on any topic they are ever asked about to make it look like they are valuable, smart and active "thought leaders".
I wrote an article on writing a tiny pseudo-bootloader a while back[0] that got a bit of traction on HN at the time; you may enjoy it as an accesible and fun stepping stone into the space. There’s an accompanying GH repo[1] with all the resources you need to run it yourself :)

In theory, productivity gains on automobiles leads to cheaper cars and increased car sales. So an increase in workers is possible.

But I agree that looks like a questionable assumption. If the productivity improvement changes car prices from $250K to $25K, sure the assumption will work out. But not sure $25K to $24K would work out.

As with anything new, organizations are only now having to consider implications.

It’s absolutely the right thing to consider, just as social media rose organizations drafter social media policies.
No time like today.

You don't need to make a large datacenter, or to migrate everything at once. Find some low-risk services, get some consultant help you improve some room on your premises (you'll need to care about security, electricity and cooling), get a pair of network contracts and one hack of servers (or maybe even 4 servers), and move those services. Favor things that are used internally.

If you are looking for 7 figures of savings just by picking the easy fruit, you will almost certainly get positive ROI on that. Just do not move critical services if you don't know what you are doing.
Maybe hard packed snow is a strategy for only flat cities

Seattle infamously tried the hard packed snow strategy about a decade ago, and it turned it into a dangerous (hilly) ice rink
Wonder how many are using ChatGPT to help draft the policy
Could you point out a few things in the blog that made it sound that way to you?

It states many times it was added for backwards compatibility.

Even at the bottom of TFA they annotate the ideal solution (which will be implemented soon) is to use import maps instead of package.json, the same format the browser uses, which is in line with Deno's main goals.
I don't know how many of you relate, but a personal level this last few years has left me quite shaken.

In 2021 I remember thinking how tech really proved its worth by so quickly assisting our economies through the pandemic with e-commerce, video conferencing and work from home.

Sure, things felt a bit crazy, but I remember thinking how lucky I was to land in tech as a career and that it was hard to see a future any time soon where the world wouldn't value tech workers highly.

Skip to today and I'm honestly wondering how long I have.

We've had a massive influx of new tech talent over the last few years and now we see this dramatic turnaround in hiring which will likely make it significantly harder to get a good tech job in the near future.

And in addition to this we have tools like GPT potentially disrupting our careers on a timescale best viewed on the scale of months.

It doesn't help that I'm going through a lot in my personal life at the moment too, but I've never felt so vulnerable about what the future holds.

I guess I should just be grateful that we had a good run while it lasted, but it's hard to think like that when people depend on you to have things figured out.

Anyway, I hope everyone involved in these layoffs lands on their feet.

there are other SBC's available, like the mango pi mq pro, which is in the form factor of a raspberry pi zero.
We often hear about seeing our old bad code and cringing, but not as many people talk about seeing their old code and being impressed. I've experienced both as well.
No, it's worse than that. QI means officers are immune from lawsuits unless their behavior has been previously found to be unworthy of immunity and they were aware or should have been aware of this fact. This is, by design, an impossible standard to meet, so in practice QI is unlimited and absolute.
>it is surprising that no money was spent on demo kiosks.

For the Quest Pro they had demo units in Best Buy. You can search YouTube to find videos of people checking it out.
What I find absolutely mystifying about Meta's VR experiment is that they did not leverage the colossal advantage they have in that for facebook users, they know your friend network and interests.

Why is the Meta product so catastrophically naff? What went wrong?

The urban core should be pedestrian only. Bicyclists can stop at the edge and lock the bike and then walk. Then outside the bike zone there could be a car zone as it gets more suburban.
Who are these magical people who are fair and just, and how do you choose them? How come do they choose to do this completely free of charge? Do you pay for your Mastodon instance membership? If not, why is someone willing to go through the trouble of doing this for free for complete strangers? How the strangers choose the right moderators for them, even though they are not paying for any of this? I don't know, but something doesn't make any sense to me with Mastodon and similar decentralized services.
I always hear people make the argument that cost savings is the biggest benefit of ditching a car and living in a city with good public transportation.

Then I look at NYC and it's $5k to rent a 1 bedroom and everything as soon as you walk out the door is 30-50% more expensive than most other cities.

No one is saving money not having a car in NYC when everything else is so much more expensive.
The memetic shift, in coordination with the MSM, has been successful. Companies can now lay off normal numbers of people (for their scale) in waves, and sustain a narrative that times are tough, removing employee motivation to unionize as well as discourage other employee pressures for better work conditions inside the company.
Are there any open source pinball machines?

I have the Indiana Jones Pinball adventure and there are a few minor game design decisions that need modifying (partially due to the physical condition of my machine).
I know you were trying to prove some random guy on the internet wrong (and failed hilariously), but I linked a peer reviewed paper. That paper has even been cited by gwern in his article on GPT-3's creative writing capabilities: https://gwern.net/gpt-3. Sometimes people here DO know what they are talking about!

And even if you do somehow get lucky and get one prompt where it does this one time, it's never going to be reliable without significant evolution of the tokenizers.

Even if this is solved in the future in some technique involving fixing BPE/subword tokenizers, it's still sad that filter assisted decoding works today to fix it and no one is implementing it despite two tech demos being available showing that it works from the author.
I ran a large, somewhat infamous hacker house, and watched the beginning of a few unicorn founders. My observation is that everybody talks about being an entrepreneur, but the only people that actually do are the people with no other options. They'll never admit those painful and repeated failures at normal employment, or other areas of normal life. For instance, I have rarely seen men in relationships succeed. Their partner loses respect for them very quickly, and they will spend all their time job hunting until they either take a job or get dumped in horrible embarrassing ways. Partnered women usually end up quitting in disgust or dumping their partners to gain the benefits of being single when soliciting potential investors. Everybody that made it had some kind of family support or side hustle that supported them through it. This is not about money to survive, but some kind of consistent positive affirmation.

One category that I didn't see a lot of is the fully-employed side-hustler, so that may also exist with a completely different set of characteristics.

Incidentally, according to the article, I should be a prototypical entrepreneur, and I've certainly always known this, but, wow, the level of misery I experienced from everybody close to me has been overwhelming every time I've started anything. I've been 'lucky' in the sense of finding some kind of a way into a job when it got to be too much. I've been homeless, I've been to war, I've done ultramarathons, but this is nothing compared to the more normal types of people problems that nobody ever talks about. My plan had always been to make only enough money to survive for a few years of freedom. It turns out that this was easy, but didn't solve the right problem.

As a non-success, I still consider myself one of the lucky ones. I've seen people, who seemed to have it much better than I, get into much worse situations, and several didn't survive it. Steve jobs said you can't connect the dots to success looking forward, and this is obviously also true of disaster. It's easy to forget about these people, or only remember the bad dots.

I think about what to tell my son about all of this. I want him to never feel forced into anything. If he feels good about a job or a relationship, he should feel happy to continue it. But he should know that those things may change to hurt him, and he should never get into a situation where he feels stuck. One important thing about this is that I believe that the law and the culture is strongly against him, and seems to be getting worse. He should not expect success in this environment, and I'd advise that it may be wise to go somewhere less hostile, even at the expense of financial opportunity. Most young people don't realize that the majority of middle-aged men in this country are legally barred from leaving their state of residence without permission.

So the conditions for success seem simple, and the people that win big often don't seem very impressive, but the failure conditions are often larger and more hidden than most people understand early in life. You're not competing just with your mind, but your entire life situation to support your ideas.
My company is coming out with a policy that you can't put anything into ChatGPT. I'm ignoring it, the simple fact of the matter is it's a powerful tool. The firms that choose to use this will rapidly outpace those that don't, who will be left behind.
These are all symptoms of the end of 'cheap' money essentially. World's been running on QE for a long time now, and most millennials and Gen Z folks (myself included) haven't seen/lived in a world without QE.

This is all regression toward the mean. The next couple years should be interesting.

When people say a language "unifies sync and async code" all they mean is that there is no distinct syntactic category for "async routines". Rather, asynchronous operations are expressed as regular (i.e. synchronous, blocking) methods spawned on another thread. Either you agree that there is no loss in what you can express or believe it is doomed to fail. I don't understand how you can do both.
One thing I'm curious about is if it's just possible to sort of roll your own package version manager as part of your deno app.

For instance, the current thing, from what I understand, is <code>import foo from 'https://some-cdn/your-library@^1.1.1'</code> and deno loads that in. The problem that adding a package.json solves (also, from my limited understanding) is for cases when you import this library in several places and have different version requirements.

So, why not have something like:

export const libraries = {
"some-library": "https://your-cdn/some-library@^1.1.1",
};
export const load = (library) => import(libraries[library]);

Wouldn't that mostly solve the problem without just doing what NodeJS does?

It doesn't work out-of-the-box with any existing software, so it only applies to things you are building from scratch, or that are structured in such a way that adding an alternate network mode, or that would work with a dynamic library that shims the entire sockets API. Your user-mode stack won't be observable by any existing monitoring tools. Also, your process needs to execute with CAP_NET_RAW.

This is nothing new. Cue the old joke about when cars were new customers wanting faster horses instead.
`make` has been ported long ago! The problem is that almost every Makefile wants a reasonably large subset of POSIX stuff, when it doesn't want specifically GNU stuff. (And like, I write specifically GNUmakefiles because I don't care about those platforms.)

`make` being portable doesn't help that `mv` and `cp` and all that don't port amazingly well. You can write binaries for them that take POSIX flags, of course, and people have, but now, to replace package.scripts with a Makefile, you have to pack a whole bootleg quasi-POSIX environment alongside your JS interpreter? That's not really going to fly with most people. But assuming you do that--how do you write a loop that works in sh, cmd.exe, and PowerShell?

You get the idea. The only way to make a Makefile a real, cross-platform tool is to bring a Unix with it. And that's not super practical in a lot of places! So instead Node (or Ruby/Rake, etc.) converge to a point where libraries like `rimraf` are both really annoying and kind of essential for building an adequate cross-platform dev experience.

Again: not endorsing. But it is why it's the way it is.
Deno has TOML in the standard library too.
Presumably as it’s being drafted it’s not in effect and moreover the policy may be positive for use or negative against use, but before there is one in place, it cannot apply.
