I’ve been using a 2009 MacBook Pro since I bought it. It’s not my primary machine anymore, but use it for basic music production. I upgraded the RAM and fitted an SSD and was able to install a more recent (officially unsupported) version of MacOS on it.

Also, in line with the article. I was sentimental about giving up on it. It’s a strong piece of hardware with features that are no longer present these days, like a CD/DVD writing drive. Which I still use to create digital copies of DVDs I have lying around.

The battery is long dead, but I have a power socket and cable nearby.

So to me, it’s not dead. And I somehow hope it will last for another 10 years. (Fingers crossed)

Which basically sums up that there is voter suppression, intimidation of opposition parties, limitations on freedom of expression and the media, and allegations of vote rigging. There is also the dominance of the ruling party in Turkish politics
“you have to be living under a literal rock if you’ve missed the potential impact of LLMs”

Isn’t this statement condescending, which you criticize the article of doing?
> This was, in retrospect, insane. Who thinks that having no resiliency is a good strategy for wars?

The same issue that plagued all Western governments after the USSR collapse. So many people thought that with Russia being basically not able to threaten anyone and the Yugoslav/"block free nations" block collapsing just the same, there would not be any one daring to threaten any Western nation any more, so why invest into stockpiling shit that won't ever be used?

And that worked out for the last 30 years: let's be real, Afghanistan and Iraq were not complex wars by any stretch, not for the militaries. That was simply the US bulldozering a bunch of sheep and goat herders. The Yugoslav collapse wars were squabbles and the NATO dropping a couple bombs over Serbia. The Russian invasion into Ukraine however, that is the first time in many decades the world has seen an outright invasion war by a force a hundred thousand men strong.

Same thing that happened to Hillary Clinton’s emails. In fact, ”a computer technician” introduced the email deletion policy after a subpoena was issued. Remind me is how Google did something horrific here, must be some dastardly “computer technicians.”
How long do you hold your breath for?
On "Clarksons Farm" series, as he documents learning how to farm - there is a whole episode of him dealing with this, and missing the rain-window and losing crops and stuff... with them constantly testing moisture content in the grains. Cool stuff.

Most people fantasize about leaving tech and starting a farm.

I know two tech exec 'power-couples' who did just that - its WAY harder and more expensive that you can imagine.
Since 2005
Seriously, I’d love to be recycled one way or another. If a process like this happen to be legal somewhere I’ll probably volunteer to be part of it. I wonder how many thought about it, as when discussed openly the conversations tend to go to joking.

From a safety POV we already eat processed food made from leftovers of fishes that eat chickens (leftovers) that eat porcs (leftovers)… or the other way around.

From a moral consumer POV I would definitely enjoy more a food (plant or animal) feed from another human rests than feed from another livestock slavery facility.

From a “consumed” POV, I won’t care less.

I get there’s a lot of people with beliefs that think they can’t accept that. I may be downvoted for that : some decades ago, _a lot_ of people had the belief they “can’t live in a society with same sex mariage”.

I respect the convictions of others as long as they don’t tell me what to do or not, especially when I’ll be dead.

Why Grafana Needs OpenTelemetry
>So they're now forced to maintain every single format someone invents,

Or they could pick a better format and evaluate it? The question is why the better format here, even though it is the same royalty free ( or patents free in AOM's term ), wasn't picked.
Most of it boils down to:

- what do I know that my direct reports/their direct reports do not know?

- what does my manager/their manager know that I don’t know?
I don't understand MathML's intent; likely because I have a different design mentality or model.

I like to represent things like this in 3 forms:

#1: Rendered notation for reading; what all these tools produce for people reading the document

#2: A clean, well-documented API for writing. This is the Latex, Mathjax, katex syntax etc, replete with backslashes.

#3: A representation in a computing language used to create the rendered form from the API. Depends on the language, but ie something like a set of structs and enums that can be manipulated by a compiler.

MathML is none of these; it's neither readable, nor writable, nor manipulable natively by a programming language.
I remember from an election fraud class in college that the best digits to check on vote counts (particularly in places like Russia) are actually the trailing digits, which should be uniformly distributed. Apparently eastern European fraudsters at this point are sophisticated enough (and have enough leeway to fudge the vote counts) that they can get past checks based on Benford's law, but they are usually too lazy to whiten the trailing digits of their fake numbers.

I was curious about 2020 after the pop science emerged and checked all of these precincts' trailing digits (as well as a few other statistics), and they looked totally fine.
The FSF opposes nonfree i.e. proprietary software. JavaScript is fine if properly licensed:

Just like any other software.
That is probably regional. Here they are most commonly connected to the cold water line.
I don't get TypeScript's type system.

It is obviously very powerful and can model very complex type constraints.

But then you have stuff like this where it is not checking types as I would expect:

interface Foo { bar: string; }
const f = {bar: "foobar"} as Readonly<Foo>;
function someFunc(): Foo {
return f; // No error or warning, even with all strict flags enabled
}
One example is companies who don't need strict compliance themselves, but have some customers who do.

If 10% of your customers need this for compliance, then you have to test and certify that your stuff works with something like RHEL - and so that becomes an option, or even the default option for the other 90% of your customers.
> Unfortunately, a couple months ago I realized my [2014 MacBook Pro] was struggling to manage even a single Chrome tab, and noticed that is just was not pleasant to use this machine anymore.

Eh? I use a 2011 MacBook Pro as a daily driver, and it's fine. I wouldn't try to run IntelliJ or games (especially not since the discrete graphics chip is dead), but it handles an upsetting number of browser tabs, plays video fine, and generally behaves itself.

But then, i am running Linux, not MacOS.
Your dishwasher works very different from mine then, which is a common consumer model about five years old.

Mine is just a single constant temperature the whole time.

There's certainly no high heat much less sterilization, just bringing the water up to temperature and keeping it there, through pre-wash, wash, and rinse cycles. (Only commercial restaurant dishwashers get up to sterilization temperatures.)

And if the salmon is wrapped airtight, there's no conceptual difference between broiling/steaming/baking. It's all just sous vide, which is none of those. Because it's sealed.
It seems most developed countries disinfect their public water systems, often using chlorine. I believe the WHO have recommendations for it.
Just a day... -,- sure
They definitely have a responsibility to shepherd standards that show potential to do good for the internet.
I used to think this way. I worked at one of the top 10 government contractors and was disgusted with the waste. But rather than think of it as using a team that's too big to poorly and slowly develop a product that's not needed, think of it as a continuous training and readiness program for developers. When the priorities change and we NEED something, you'll have a team of people ready to go. I've actually seen that happen.

We do the same thing in manufacturing - I saw a comment about javelins below, but why do we keep ordering tanks even though we don't need them? To keep the production lines active and the workers trained. It's a waste if you look at it first-order, but if you think of it as readiness and training, it's a lot less wasteful.
> strategic bombers did win the war against Japan.

Only after the Japanese navy had been almost completely sunk, the Japanese merchant marine even more thoroughly sunk. And even then, it's not clear if the atomic bombs or the Soviet entry into the war against Japan (threatening to roll up the Japanese position in China as completely as the above) played the bigger role in compelling Japanese surrender. (And this is the best example anyone can give of strategic airpower achieving victory).
I searched for what you're describing here, and I don't believe I found the service you're describing - I'm not seeing how it could generate code.

Would you mind expanding on what you're talking about here? It sounds intriguing, I'm just not following.

The same company that gave us WebP. At least Mozilla and Safari did the sane thing and push back against it.
I use jellyfin with their androidtv app running on whatever the amazon 4k hdmi dongle is that can decode h265/av1 for this reason and that's why I was asking. While we're on the topic, hardware for the tv that runs android, does h265 and av1, has frequent security updates and isn't spying on you nonstop is kind of non existent as well. If someone figured out who manufactures the amazon firestick and can get something very similar with stock android (or even better lineageos) I would pay double what I paid for the amazon spy box version....

1. This is a site for weird internet nerds, which has a healthy overlap with people who like cowboy bebop.

2. The site is an excellent example of a small web 1.0 site run by a single person. This is a (possibly a painful) reminder for some that the web doesn't have to be SEO optimized corporate BS, and of a time when the internet was full of wonder and the possibilities seemed endless.
To the original question of proof, it sounds like we agree that there is indeed proof that tech platforms were censoring the right.

I purposely left the question open with regards to the left being censored. I expect it does happen and examples could be found - I simply don't have proof handy, possibly because as you said the Twitter Files seem to have been one side.

The absence of evidence shoeing censorship of the left has no bearing on whether there is evidence that the right was being censored.
Am I the only one who would absolutely never do this for fear of dish soap getting into my food? All I see is people worrying about the temperature which just misses the point completely for me.

(and btw since salmon can be eaten raw I don't see how the temperature could be an issue)
Very impressive, and very fun :)

I wish I had the time to do this, but it looks like it would be relatively simple to modify render_rasterize.cpp [0] to do perspective-correct texture mapping [1]. I also wonder if going for a scanline approach [2] would be faster than iterating over the whole screen calculating barycentric coordinates?

Power distance, and Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions theory in general, is one of those ideas that I want to believe (like Altmeyer's "authoritarian follower"). It explains so much!

Wanting to believe it makes me chary of it. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of critical assessment, though.
Theoretical physics isn't speculative physics, but physics focusing on mathematical modelling rather than experimentation.
I can see how an awkwardly-delivered statement could by misconstrued, regardless of the speaker's true intent. However, doesn't this play out pretty poorly for the rank-and-file anyhow? Anyone caught deleting emails would get thrown under the bus by management citing the explicit instruction.
Do you have an example of knowing stuff (i.e. corporate politics, project issues, what you are having for lunch today)?

Yes I know that, I am using them. For set top box the android client is ok too. The rest of the clients are in varying states of ok to not great though and the linux client is a pain to setup for set top box use when I tried it.
Yes, kids use it as a pejorative to mean “old.” And by old they mean anyone older than them.
I wonder if there are many conservative Erdogan supporters like this optimist:

The thing I don't understand about Red Hat is how the support is so bad. I (a customer at a medical/educational site) pay for Red Hat, and on the few occasions I've requested support, that support has never, not once, actually solved my problem. In every single case, I eventually solved it myself after weeks of back-and-forth with one support person after another consisted solely of "solutions" like "reinstall the OS", "we won't support you unless you update [completely and utterly unrelated minor package]", and "please give us [piece of information that was included in the original ticket". In several cases I finally found the right answer ... in access.redhat.com/solutions .. but the support person was never able to find it.

We purchase it because we're required to, but we get absolutely no value for the money.
What if you do not have any computer algebra system in your pipeline? LaTeX can be written and read by actual humans, MathML cannot.
FYI the FDA does not require tuna to be frozen. It is one of the exceptions, just like farmed fish and some mollusks.

Oh I absolutely agree with him. The opioid crisis is tragic but denying people medication for their injuries, illnesses, mental health (adhd) in a completely ineffective attempt to curb a crisis that is mainly caused by the importation of cheap fentanyl analogs is the greater of two evils.
One of the most interesting things to me is that JPEG-XL is under an open Patent License, unlike the original JPEG.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XL

Also, Google contributed quite a bit to it's development. As the patent grants show:

https://github.com/ImageMagick/jpeg-xl/blob/main/PATENTS

https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/blob/main/PATENTS

Microsoft seemed to have gotten a patent on part of it's implementation (which Google also tried to get). Not sure if Google will pay to invalidate that patent, but I have a feeling they are more likely to defend AVIF.

https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/17/microsoft_ans_patent/

Google's control is a little concerning, but I do feel there are bigger fish to fry then choosing between two free formats. A bigger concern is the H.264 and H.265 patents domination of video.
You need feet on the ground to try and win a war for good, and even then, chances are you won’t be able to win it in the long run anyway.

I get it though, more than two thirds of the US’s defense money goes into its Navy and its Airforce, so I guess that, ideologically, most of the US military strategy is focused on using those assets instead of using “mere” infantry and artillery.

Let’s hope we won’t get to see that opinion tested in real life anytime soon.
Ehhh not quite. Google has some technology in JPEG-XL, but theirs isn’t the only in the project, there’s other code too, plus the JPEG group’s development, and it’s an ISO standard.

WebP is just flat out a Google thing, no standards body other than Google.

America had very little in the way of military industry at the start of WW2 yet ramped up at an incredible rate. Industrial efforts can be repurposed in a matter of months. (One problem here is that the US depends on other countries for much of its manufacturing)
“It therefore falls upon our shoulders to validate the approach suggested by the client before we possibly waste both their time and money developing it.”

I agree with this statement, but who pays for this analysis of the customer’s analysis? Customers expect to pay a developer for their time actually writing the code for the solution. Within most companies, developers are expected to build according to the specs from the domain experts and not argue about the specs or rehash the approach requested.
We went into another direction, leveraging the existing ecosystem instead of re-inventing the wheel. Although I appreciate the effort of improving the DX for REST APIs, I think the OpenAPI ecosystem is very strong and established.

Contrary to this approach, we (https://WunderGraph.com) ingest one or more OpenAPI and GraphQL apis and combine them into a backend for frontend. We have code generators for all major frontend frameworks, like react, svelte, Vue, solid, astro, etc... These don't just make calling APIs type-safe but also handle authentication, etc...

The BFF approach allows us to securely inject API keys or add a middleware using Typescript.

I'm curious what people think of this approach. Our users don't usually integrate one or two APIs but rather 20 or more. I guess it would be quite expensive if you had to write a custom specification for each service.
"Dictators never get voted off"

Exceptions:

Augusto Pinochet, the former dictator of Chile, was voted out of office in a national referendum in 1988.

Park Chung-hee, the former dictator of South Korea, was assassinated in 1979, leading to the country's transition to democracy.

General Hissene Habre, the former dictator of Chad, was ousted from power in 1990 through a national conference and multiparty elections.

Slobodan Milosevic, the former president of Yugoslavia, was voted out of office in 2000 after a disputed election and mass protests.

Blaise Compaore, the former president of Burkina Faso, was forced to resign in 2014 after a popular uprising and protests against his attempts to extend his 27-year rule.
Wow, this is very, very neat. I'm surprised I hadn't come across this earlier since I love nerdy time wasters like this so much. I'm really excited that it's been made open source, best of luck with the project moving forward!

> This adjustment is challenging. It's weird to not have my technical abilities be the thing my performance is measured against (though you definitely need to have it, and having more of it is an edge, if your sales/soft skills can counterbalance it).

This is actually one of the reasons holding back as I feel like I am giving up a tangiable hard skill I have (tech / being judged on tech) to a more riskier performance barometer. But hey, need to risk it to get the rewards I guess.
It may be fastest to render, but with that syntax I sure doubt it's fastest to write. It's barely human readable.
The "Sold a Story" podcast, which is mentioned in the article, absolutely blew my mind. I listened to the entire series three times over because I just couldn't get over it. It is astonishing that people who get degrees in education basically don't even know what reading even is.

Dishwashers run at 140°F but have less constant water contact with the salmon so the temperature would seem to work well. But the principle is exactly sous vide -- sealed food held at temperature in hot water.

I don't know where you're getting steamed steak from though. There's no steaming involved anywhere. This is for salmon only. You'd need higher temperatures and longer times for steak, which is why it doesn't seem like anybody invented dishwasher steak. ;)
In my opinion as a coder, since the beginning of the pandemic developers have stopped striving for the next big thing. Everyone has dialed back the energy put into projects, no telling for certain, but even at the FANGs, there's no zeal anymore just the bare minimum.
