I'm from a Hispanic family which is by and large bilingual and uses quite a lot of Spanglish at family events. However, I was raised monolingual, with English. My parents say they sometimes regret not teaching me Spanish. But, on they other hand, they recognize that my English rhetorical skills are significantly better than they might otherwise have been. Given that English is a language with a wide vocabulary and quite expressive specificity, this confers all sorts of advantages to me, especially in technical applications.

I am most definitely a programming polyglot, however, and that was of my own doing. Learning many programming languages has most definitely had a profound effect on how I think about problems and break down sub-problems. I don't think it's made me smarter or more intelligent generally, but it has opened doors to solutions I would not have been able to consider otherwise, which is probably a good analogy for what this study is suggesting.

I have definitely settled in a nice generally-optimal zone of functional-procedural: Isolate state to referentially transparent procedures, and mutate all the state you want within those procedures, but the overall program structure should be a functional pyramid of value-returning calls.
If they end end to end encryption, then Signal and Telegram can read the private messages that the leaders inevitably use to get around records retention laws.
In addition the page is doing something funny with links that defeats the peek behavior on iOS. I’m not sure what.
I think that publishing 3 artifacts causes a number of other changes which expand the difficulty of management of the backend of the app. While they do allow, hopefully, independent scaling and seperate recovery processes. Separate artifacts also make it a bit more difficult to do local development, and deployments become more complex so it's not a completely clean tradeoff.

I know systems kubernetes / dockerswarm which handle the management of multiple artifacts but that is now another tool needed in order to do development.

So I guess what I'm saying is that "just" publishing multiple artifacts has more knock-on effects which need to be considered. Eventhough I do agree with you that it's probably for the best in the long term if these processes are in seperate containers.

Still working on most of the devices I've got that were made in the 80s/90s, meanwhile I have machines with USB ports less than a decade old where how you seat the cable matters or the port just outright doesn't work anymore.

Some of that you can chalk up to survivor bias, but if this is a conversation, the main reason anybody can actually have it is that we're talking about a standard that was universal enough for long enough.
The actual thesis behind the pictures:

The gist of above is that Western Europe still views Eastern Europe in terms of 'colonial imperialism' but with the twist that the empire in question are long gone empire of the Russians. (Gwendolyn Sasse appears to be the actual brains behind this thesis.)
If businesses want money for their content, then they should ask for money BEFORE they send it to whoever asks. Pestering someone after they send the article feels so scummy.

There's a group of guys near where I live who stand around and hand CDs to tourists, and after a minute of chatting, start asking for "donations". It's the same vibe. Giving something of value to someone then using that to set the expectation that they should give something of value back. If you give something away, in my opinion, the transaction is complete. Trying to use that to get something in return is manipulative.
Ah, that explains why teachers dislike students who are disinterested. Its not merely a disregard for the subject at hand, it tells them they're not the great teacher they'd like to believe they are. The best teachers I had, also had great humor. Great humor helps a lot.

It seems to be completely closed source.

I would think more than twice before introducing something closed-source into such important areas like version control or backups.

The problem is not the need to pay (closed-source freeware exists, and I regularly donate to open-source projects), but continuity.

Honest question - is bonding over the nationality of ancestors really that big a deal in the US?

It seems to be a solid theme in this.

It just strikes me as odd that a nation with such a patriotic mentality define themselves as Welsh, Irish, Scottish etc because their great grandparents came from there. Besides, it’s a well established fact that if you can’t sing Yma o Hyd from start to finish, your Welsh credentials are confiscated.
Can confirm. Cloudy last night.
I’m sorry but this is a very simplistic take. The King has no meaningful power at all, MPs have power over the Lords and they are democratically elected.

I’m not for a second saying the system is wonderful and beyond reproach. But suggesting it’s equivalent to an autocracy or something is just flat out wrong. If you want to complain about the U.K. political system complain about first past the post or the creeping anti-democratic forces pushing things like voter ID laws. The House of Lords and the King aren’t anything comparatively.
The bigger take away is that "scholarly articles and textbooks" in the field of Medicine are sourcing their information from Wikipedia.

I like that your argument is that every business in China is government controlled. Why, yes you are correct. That doesn't negate my point.

China will collapse in a few decades due to lack of replacement population. They most certainly do "answer to the west". This is why they're being so aggressive about trying to get tech planted into western culture, and take Taiwan back, they know what's coming for them.

Maybe you ought to think a little further about why it's a power struggle?

25 years ago, we'd go to programming language and hacking conventions mostly to socialize, meet our peers. See the people you only talked to online, meet some new folks. If you were brand new, you were interested in the talks, but if you got to chat up some people about your favorite subject, that was probably your favorite part of the con. We're not there for business, we're there to be nerdy with fellow nerds.

Where others see conspiracy I see incompetence (wish a dash of conspiracy). Time and time again it’s shown that our elected officials have no clue what they’re doing with tech. They simply do not understand the issues at hand in an era when tech is taking over more and more of our lives.

I’d say we should elect more people with tech knowledge but who’s going to quit their lucrative software engineering job to run for office, get paid considerably less and achieve little?

Thanks to LEGO I learned that the callus on your ankle is layered like an onion.

I had far too many LEGOs as a kid, and left them around my room like a minefield. Did I step on one? Oh, no. I was jumping on my bed and jumped off when told to stop by my parents and unfortunately one ankle landed on the corner of a LEGO building I had made. A structure build like a little plastic brick shithouse, apparently. The corner gouged a nice right angle cleft out of my ankle a couple inches long. Hurt like the dickens!
Safran is on this list. Airbus is listed under Netherlands, fair point.

Calling it now: we are going to see more and more accessibility features and difficulty adjusters in games going forward. Not only are the players getting older, but so are the developers who are passionate about making games. From a marketing perspective, relatively simple code changes open up extra markets who are already primed to buy by a lived history of growing up gamers.

Meh I think lack of competition and protectionism is a good thing, there are a lot of industrial mozzarella etc that compete and not protect and they are usually cheap ingredient, cheap labour and no taste, and they all go down, probably you want competition, then buy the alcoholic beverages not being "Champagne", when I go to get something that is a DOC/DOP mark, I expect not competition but quality, yeah you can do mozzarella wherever you want, just don't call it Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP? That doesn't disallow you to produce mozzarella wherever you want, but just limits you on the kind of mark you can use on it?

This problem is going to get worse as GPT gets better. It's the new "but the computer said...", with nobody being willing to realize that it said something insane.

The proposed use cases (folding, social networks) correspond to what was previously termed "Geometric Deep Learning". Here, things like Graph Neural Networks were understood in terms of (pairwise?) relations to be learned under the assumption of symmetry/equivariance.
It can be shown that not all relations that fit in a graph can be learned by such GNNs. Further, not all relations can be modeled with a (symmetric) graph.

Hence, these people moved on the using Category Theory, which may or may not lead to the use of GNNs.

Reading the first part of the present paper, the Topological DL would instead move beyond the idea of "pairwise relation".
Not sure what the link proves... it is true that Germany still has a substantial and sophisticated manufacturing base, but it does not innovate in ways that would show up in market valuation tables such as the one being discussed here. The panic around the discontinuation of internal combustion tech is case in point.

There are examples of European technological leadership (e.g Dutch ASML) but they are scarce. Many other powerhouse regions (e.g Northern Italy) that used to be important innovators have been hollowed. In critical areas such as the green energy transition (which is a top-priority goal of the EU) the EU as a whole is a net importer from China.

So I just took over responsibility to reboot a polyglot conference in Greenville, SC that will happen this August.

In the interest of time, I needed to communicate a lot with a lot of people to keep people informed, raise awareness, etc before I have time to properly build a new site so I setup a substack blog to do it. You can see it here:

https://blog.carolina.codes

So far, I've used it to...

- Announce the conference reboot

- Poll the community for best dates and structure

- Announce the official date and venue

- Feed all of the social media accounts created for it (with dlvr.it)

- Announce call for Speakers (open til May 25th)

- Announce call for Sponsors

- Additional community information (we're trying to help get local meetups moving again as a side effect)

Early on there's been a ton of information to distribute and feedback to gather, so it's worked well. The substack email list is the primary communication channel and we've got about a 50% open rate with very high engagement from about half the list. I use the scheduling features to make sure I never sent more than one thing per day, on weekdays only.

I'm learning the marketing side of this as I go, so I'm trying to be very wary of things that bother me. On the flip side, the defaults for a tool like dlvr.it will post multiple times a day to social channels which seems very spammy but it also seems to work. I've never been very social media active because I don't like doing that type of thing.

Spreading the word on this stuff is hard though, so I've got to balance my own desire to not bother people with the real need to get the word out around this conference. We did have one fun social media challenge for programmers where people could create variations of a code payload about the conference in their favorite language. I'm looking for fun things like that to engage people when I can.

https://blog.carolina.codes/p/code-header-challenge

The bigger the list gets, the less I feel the need to keep spreading the word because I feel better about being able to reach people with the important things when I need to. Now I'm far enough along that people are starting to spread the word for me and connect me with potential sponsors, so that's helpful.
Ask a specific question. "Excuse me, did you catch what the speaker was saying about async routines? I think I've done async before but I'm not sure." Now the person you're talking to can explain something, and you can segue the conversation into some related topic.

Personally, I feel I'm at my most "conscious" when I'm in a flow state. I'm laser focused on one thing, but I'm actively thinking about that thing very hard!

I don't do a lot of metacognition (thinking about my thinking) while I'm in a flow state, which maybe was your point. But I can think about my prior flow state thinking after the fact, and I'm aware of how much my mind was working, and what that felt like.
I find this to be an ironic response to "real estate has vested interest in maintaining real estate value at the expense of worker quality of life"
> On a serious note, I fail to see how RT is considered state-propaganda, but BBC is not

I have yet to see a single article on RT saying that maybe the war in Ukraine isn't a good thing and Russia should leave.

> MintPress hiring ex-RT -> it's propaganda arm

RT just serves as an extension for the Russian intelligence services as a propaganda arm, so if you have a problem with ex spooks working at bellingcat you should have a problem with ex-RT working at MintPress.

I have worked in a company with a monolith and about ten teams working on it. This is what helped:

- Merging was automated (a robot tried to run tests against fresh master and merge only if green).

- Deploy was fully automated and limited to working hours.

- We added tests for problematic parts. For example static analysis for database migrations to prevent only safe actions in an automated fashion.

However, if something goes wrong in some component, you have to revert and stop the deploys for everyone which sucks. I'd say around 8 - 10 deploys per day, it makes sense to start splitting the components or at least not adding new teams to the same monolith.

This doesn't really have the types of features I would personally want as someone who has done a lot of rails development in the past.

The types of things I tend to need to set up in any modern app is SSO integration, React integrated on the frontend, etc... These are annoying things I have to integrate every time I build something and are more or less industry standard at this point.
I was referring to the burning man but. If I knew it was true beyond a shadow of doubt, I would share it when it was pertinent. If it was through the grapevine or pure speculation, I’d keep it to myself.
Not really. They aren't the ones directing customers to break their systems. They could ban anti-virus software and get slammed for being anti-competitive I suppose. Or they could try to track down all the vendors who are being stupid and ask them to please stop but that probably won't remediate it. They don't have a lot of moves here nor does the curl project.
people who grew up with phones as the primary computing device are more tech illiterate than those who started with desktop machines. they're inherently locked down, meant for consuming not producing. they're harder to customize, harder to do things in nonstandard ways, harder to learn how they work.

e.g. hierarchical filesystems are gradually becoming esoteric knowledge for zoomers because of how much phones and always-online apps obscure it from the user.

Red Hat cutting hundreds of jobs, CEO says in letter to employees
It’s a Go app, not a Ruby one. Hence the Go code examples.

And the rationale behind one binary rather than several is to reduce build time and deployment artefact size, along with benefits in development from one binary. All of which mean deploying is much quicker/easier, which means it’s less of a big deal that we deploy everything whenever any part changes (we deploy anywhere up to 30 times a day).

Hope that helps it make more sense.

But GPT-generated prose still reads a bit "flat" to me. There's no "sizzle". There's no surprising words. In terms of Shannon information theory, there's not enough information there - not enough entropy.
There was that time around February a few years back when I was hiking on a "minimum maintenance road" in the state forest near home that was mostly packed down snow. It struck me as a marginal situation for driving, but probably possible if you were going in the downhill direction.

I ran into a woman who had gotten concerned and tried to turn around which was a mistake because that really got her stuck. She'd been sent there by a satnav application.

It's a running gag for my son and I that many of the roads you see on a map in upstate NY are not passable. Mostly we run into these when we have a jump seat navigator working mainly off road atlases and secondarily off the satnav, most satnav applications seem conservative about where they route and rarely send you through a bad road like what happened to that woman.
