> I do think microservices were over sold as the answer to everything, and I think this may have arisen from vendors who wanted to sell Kubernetes with a simple marketing message that enterprises needed to modernize by using Kubernetes to do cloud native microservices for everything

Yes, they absolutely were oversold, Kubernetes marketing was part of it. There was also a lot of resume-driven development, and simply "look, new shiny object!". A lot of young engineers entered the workforce over the last couple of decades. That often comes along with "forget this old stuff, what's the new stuff?".

I use KISS as much as possible with every project I'm involved in desinging.

The microservices push got the point where a dev shops with 10 people had it all broken into microservices and running Kubernetes to manage low-traffic front ends, an API and a database. I would see some of these systems and the only thing I could think was "... but why?".

Do microservices have a place? Yes. Have I seen them used where they shouldn't be? Yes. Have I seen more poorly implemented microservices architecture than good ones. Yes.

Over-engineering the tech stack, or selecting one part of it vs. another based on which is trendier, only leads to more frusturation, difficulty reasoning about it, added development time ... all of which means it will cost more.
I imagine this is w huge win in large, multiple file linked binaries.:

In C++, use as few template types as possible

But if I am not using the STL and many other C++ features, I'll just write the code in C.
I have a custom CLI specifically for my daily workflow. It takes care of a lot of tedious procedures like creating branch near and PRs with the appropriate title formats, transitioning Jira ticket statuses, spinning up and down servers, Git shortcuts, requesting reviewers, opening all changed files on a branch, showing the status of all my Jira tickets, etc. That way I can do I can do things the right way at my company without having to think much other than by remembering a simple command I wrote.
I work remotely 9 out of 10 days. It sucks. Yes, I don't have to commute, which is great but I miss having colleagues I could learn from. I miss access to decent facilities, feeling a member of a community, and (some) face-to-face contact.

I am not saying remote work is universally bad. I am just saying it is not for everyone.
Diabetes would account for a lot of that increase due to highly process foods with refined sugars/carbs
If you read my comment it will become clear to you that the National Cyber Security Centre did not have any intention of suing me, as the vulnerable system was not their responsibility.

The NCSC has not been in the news for arresting people and suing them.
If you told my past self from the mid/late 2000s that the future chip wars would be between AMD and Apple, I would not have believed you at all!
Im guessing you aren't injecting it
Passkeys are just the product-facing name for WebAuthN, which FIDO2 devices should support. Theoretically, any FIDO2 device should support WebAuthN and therefore be used for websites, but right now there are a number of different implementations that each have their own quirks.

I am surprised that the FIDO2 key doesn't work on Google, but it probably just means that there is a bug somewhere in the implementation.
The relevant comment from the second video is here:

https://youtu.be/qbIk7-JPB2c?t=1584

He says that GPT-4 started out being much better than GPT-3.5 at this task (draw a unicorn in TikZ), as the model trained longer it got to the point of drawing a great unicorn, but as it was tuned for "safety" it regressed to the point of being no better than GPT-3 was.

Quite sad, in a way. It's not totally clear why there should be a tradeoff between "safety" and drawing skill / intelligence in this way. But it's interesting to speculate by analogy to humans.
So basically whatever it is that is wrong with you, it’s your family’s fault?

Behind a paywall. As an aside, it seems incredible to me that a company (fortune in this case) expects people to pay $20 / month for content like this. No one is going to enter their credit card number and sign up for a monthly subscription just to see some article about a CEO's views of working from home. I understand that writers need to be compensated, etc, but to me it is like pricing Cheerios at $1000 / box.
Were those startups that went out of business did so because of their stacks/architecture, or are you confusing correlation with causation? And, there is a good reason people shy away from PHP, and it has nothing to do with trying to be "flashy." There should be a name for this kind of fallacy.
Comparing it to C++ compilers... does Lisp have zero-cost abstractions?
One of the problems with this is that Google can change the behavior at any time. We have no shortage of examples of big tech companies changing something that's valuable to users because it no longer aligned with their business goals.

I love the Quick add, but if I don't review soon enough, I will lose the context and can't understand 50% of the entries. Do you take the time to write the task/note properly or try to review soon enough?
Let's start with Maslow's Hierarchy, shall we?

While I wouldn't say it's "settled science", it's a fairly well-studied area, and we don't have to just throw up our hands and say it's either bare-bones survival or anything anyone could possibly ask for.
Thanks, that's what I figured. Here's to a future where WebAuthn is everywhere and my password manager can finally only need to store one key.
This article seems very one-sided, as if the conclusion or message that was intended when it was written is:

"Work-from-home is bad for many reasons, even though some workers prefer it. And the only ones who think it's a good idea is some workers, and that might just be because they are working two jobs, or outsourcing their work to ChatGPT and goofing off on the clock (and companies should look at whether they can cut out of the middleman on the AI outsourcing)."

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, you catch regardless of your diet. Even newborn babies can be diagnosed with it.

Type 2 diabetes results from old age, sugar heavy diet etc.

The EU did not ban the sale of non micro usb devices.
You could consider it orthogonal before, but would a passkey store accumulate of many more critical accounts could be attached to that google/apple account. So a mistriggered security or regulatory function could cut off access to the account, followed by being cut off from your bank or other accounts wrapped up on that same passkey store?
"I like lisps syntactically"

and yet, not a single parentheses in your text. Disappointed.
Does that "fact" hold up when you control for body mass and fat/muscle ratio? Because I suspect in reality this only means that we should send smaller people with fewer muscles into space. Life expectancy for example does not correlate with gender anymore once you account for body size.
Well I do not take any claims of any company seriously before I see actual reviews anyway, they usually just cherry pick what they want, so I do not specifically blame AMD for that.

And yeah I agree, we run our new AMD desktops in eco mode at work, it was ridiculous to routinely get like 95C temperatures for whatever random chores. Once we used to overclock AMD cpus, nowadays we underclock them lol. I have not really checked how many watts it draws after we put them in eco mode though, I will do it next time.
I've been using the same OneNote notebook for like 20 years. It syncs across all my devices, so I'm constantly using it to look things up, add things to lists, write down random ideas, track projects, etc.. Once in awhile I just go through and re-organize, prune and sort things. I'm sure soon enough AI will be helping me out with that. 20 years of notes is a lot to manage.
not even close. I'm trying to build a startup and chatGPT is basically my CEO and CMO, frees me up to be the CTO/engineer, although I do have to be his mouth piece.

he actually listens to suggestions and since I'm founder, I can replace him with another ai, like Claude from anthropic lol.

plus he doesn't take 10k more money than he's worth. just 20 bucks per month.

They cleared the exams, with barely passing scores though. In law, you can't paraphrase much - nuances in the law is everything when you're against the best lawyers that these tech giants would hire.
Passkeys are not quite passwords even if backed by software and stored in the same memory space as other applications running on the OS. They're still asymmetric, cryptographically secure, and domain-bound. It's true that being "just a file on your hard drive" changes the threat model as compared to a hardware security key, but that file is wrapped at rest, potentially with a hardware security key as well.

Whether it's a downgrade or not depends on your specific threat model, and whether it's a downgrade for you or for the userbase at large.
Another way of looking at it is they had a bixby button and a power button, and decided to remove the power button.

I found this video to be an excellent explainer on the differences between cross and flat plane cranks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcyMoZoqkPA

It additionally talks about the unusual pattern used in modern voodoo engines in the Ford Mustang (which is also mentioned in the article). The video is very similar to this article.
So google is going through all this effort and some guy in China will just bypass the bootloader lock for $30.

There is absolutely no way that the intelligence agencies don't have this same capability, which makes all of this security posturing utterly pointless, other than to prevent regular users from owning their devices.
I used to feel this way, but don't anymore. Smart devices don't all go out to the cloud; you can easily build a completely-local smart home that nobody on the Internet can control or monitor. This is the default in Apple's ecosystem (though they integrate with cloud services if you want), and you don't even have to use a major tech company's ecosystem. You can install Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi and build your own local-only accessories with ESPHome and similar.

I find a mix of DIY and premade devices to be pretty good. I have all of my lights on Lutron Caseta (completely local, works when Internet is down) and can control them from my workstation, the wall, physical remotes, Apple devices, and Siri. I have Home Assistant bridged to Home Assistant, so can do things like control my workstation's LEDs from the Home app or Siri. Home Assistant has kind of interesting integrations, like something that reads the humidity sensor in my bathroom and the outdoor humidity to suggest how long the window needs to be opened to properly ventilate it after a shower.

I think the smart home is pretty OK. It gives you a single pane of glass to control all controllable devices, which ends up being quite worthwhile. (On a video call and need more light? Just switch them on from your computer. Too cold? Turn down the AC. No corporate tracking, just convenience.)

I wear masks in the sun because I use a topical medication which induces photosensitivity in my skin.

This isn't an ivory tower you're looking down on people from, it's a highchair.
The reason why it was generally not used in C was probably that in pre-ANSI C, prototypes were optional, calling conventions were enforced loosely, and even in functions that were not officially variadic, sometimes trailing arguments were omitted deliberately or accidentally.
Even 15/20ug is quite a bit, which I would sometimes consider a minidose (depending on the setting).

I detect even down to 5-7ug LSD that I'm dosed (though I'm quite experienced with all kinds of dosages).

75ug is definitely tripping-level. No way someone couldn't detect that they are dosed, just the contrast/visual-enhancing qualities alone should be enough to detect that, maybe even some LSD-typical distortions can occur at that dose...

This is hardly surprising. The more mass you have, the more of the Krebs cycle you need to have running at all times. Maybe there is an advantage to having female astronauts, but this barely needed to be its own study.
It does, in form of a sane macro system with the full language available for use at compilation time - something that C++ never had and still doesn't have. No, consteval and constexpr aren't equivalent. No, CPP is not a sane macro system. No, don't even get me started about templates.
Thank you for making the perfect argument! My GPU does in fact have a VGA port. Also an HDMI, and a DisplayPort. See how that works ? The government does not mandate that there will be only one USBC port and nothing else. If you want to play with Thunderfire v5 Turbo Proprietary Edition, feel free to!

Just slap in a USBC too.
I can gloss over LISP's lack of static strong typing and if I force myself a bit, I can also ignore it not producing small efficient native binaries... but the lack of (semi-)transparent concurrency / parallelism is my deal-breaker. Multicore CPUs are a fact for life for a long time now.

Where is the stuff like Erlang/Elixir's green threads or Golang's goroutines/channels and Rust's async runtimes workers/channels, and OCaml 5.0's recent multicore runtime (and the emerging libraries around it)?

People have been quick to point out various old-school multithreading libraries in the past but as a guy who was working with `pthreads` almost instantly after he started his career 21+ years ago... yeah, nope, I want the higher-level stuff. I want to solve problems and not invent a new async orchestration runtime for every project I work on.

If LISP is so fantastic why isn't there a serious effort to make it multicore-friendly? Where's the transparent concurrency and parallelism? The actor runtime? The [stateful] effect handlers?

---

Believe it or not, I understand the value of inventing your own DSL and that solving business problems with it is much easier compared to coding it in another programming language but (a) nobody wants to pay me for that because that way I make myself irreplaceable and business is extremely against this and (b) that solution might end up being non-extendable, rigid and a dead-end. So it's a high-risk endeavor in more ways than one.

So OK, LISP is awesome. I tried it, liked it, couldn't find a way to make money with it. I suspect many other programmers are in my boat.

If you want more adoption then do the grunt work and bring it to 2023. Give us an HTTP (1.x & 2.0) and WebSockets libraries, give us an actor runtime (or a goroutine-like one), maybe an optional type checker -- and I am sure the community can very easily pick it up afterwards and lift it up to big heights.

No? Then it remains a niche curiosity. Enlightenment does not have to always go hand-in-hand with being a spartan. I want libraries.
That we evolved with a food doesn’t mean it’s better for us. There’s an antagonistic pleiotropic effect where our genes make trade offs for our fertile years at the incidental expense of our long term health, and that also incurs trade offs made with so called “ancestral” foods.

I also don’t see how a naturalistic fallacy is more convincing than human health outcome data. If novel foods like canola oil are worse than adapted foods like saturated fats, how come health outcomes improve when you swap saturated fat with canola oil?

In other words, if our best nutrition intervention data doesn’t meet your standard of evidence, then what is the alternative that does? Hand waving over some cozy claims about ancestral foods, evidence be damned?
Yeah it really rubs me wrong that smart devices do this. I OWN it. This isn’t a person. It’s a fucking computer and I don’t need lectures on language I use in my own home on my own devices. I’ll speak to my property however I want
Yeah you're right actually. From my phone most of them appeared online but from my computer, on the same network, they're all fine.
> There's no way AMD is going to make up that much ground

What facts do you base this assertion on? Do you have insider access to the benchmark results? Maybe wait for the benchmark results before coming to Apple's rescue. Remember that it wasn't so long ago that AMD schooled Intel so hard that their CEO fell off.
We have nine cats in and around our house that are in our care. They each have their own unique biographies and personalities. These findings don’t surprise me at all - cats have a rich social and emotional life once you get to know them. Not only do they listen to our conversation but it’s very clear that they try to communicate both with actions and “words.” I got home last night after being gone for 48 hours and each cat came to check in with me

So in all curiousness - why is "somebody else"'s world changing mission such a big deal especially when it demands sacrificing ones family/health/stability etc? (let us not even talk about layoffs).

I’ve never quite found anything that stuck but I’m having a good run with Emacs and Org.

I’ve bound an AppleScript to f3 that copies a link to the currently selected email in mail.app. Being able to link to mail.app from org is pretty cool. The links still work even if the message gets archived or moved to a different mailbox.

This has allowed me to keep track of everything in org.

However if I’m really busy I just use a sheet of paper and a pen and make a plan for what I want to complete that day.

This is the bad part -- the best stuff to learn from has been filtered out. Text is written with a specific audience in mind, and that audience generally isn't students.

When you buy a new car they have the VIN of the car and log any recall repairs done. So not sure how you think the same wouldn't be legal on a phone?

Having a device in their database as NEVER_UNLOCKED takes away any onus from having to look for this in the first place for a large % of users.

Additionally this is kind of important for a company that's had a history of selling devices with hardware defects. It'd be very useful for them to know the RMA rate and whether damage was caused by such a defect or whether it was from a 3rd party software issue.
Nah definitely not, maybe you haven't had good/accurately dosed acid yet.

75 is the usual dose that is marketed as 100ug tabs (averagely roughly 80% of the marketed dose).

It's definitely noticable, even for unexperienced (I even recommend a lower dose to begin with).

Yes, there are end-user uses for TPMs. But, personally, none of them are compelling enough to overcome my fundamental mistrust of how companies will use them.
I work for a small, remote-only company and overall it works well. I probably work 40-55 hours in a given week, and give back 25-50% of my commute time to the company, mostly because I'm not a morning person so would rather just open the laptop and get to work. It is much easier to stay productive when I can take short breaks in the comfort of my home, change the laundry, make a healthy lunch, or walk down the street for coffee. My day is done when it's done, there's no hour commute plus a pile of chores waiting for me at home.

It's hard to remember who I have or haven't met in person, despite physically seeing them a few times a year; I know these people well and they are friends and colleagues. I've been to their weddings and have had people visit me from out of state just to spend time together. Never knew any of them prior to joining the company.

On the other hand, my partner works remotely for a large (5K+) remote-only company, and seems to often have less than 20 hours of actual work to do in a given week. I know several others at BigTech who just need to create the verisimilitude of being online. keeping their Slack bubble green and superficially responding to messages.

One conclusion would be that remote doesn't scale. Another would be that the redundancies endemic to large companies mean that in the office, people have to spend a lot of time looking busy, but regardless of where the work happens, they aren't.

The remote work experiment is a success. A permanently larger proportion of knowledge workers will continue to do it. Every organization has different circumstances and some won't set things up that way.

Doesn't matter what someone with a billion dollars thinks is supposed to apply everyone else.
The 180mm Fractal fans are ... not very good. They're the best 180mm fans (there is not much choice, just Silverstone and some cheap stuff), but pretty shitty compared to the available 120/140mm choices or the 200mm Noctuas (which will not fit cases designed for 180mm fans).
