By then you can run your own benchmarks, which was the point of “until independent benchmarks are out”. You need some skepticism when discussing characteristics they give for an upcoming chip.
How does reversing WindowServer allow you to make rcmd control Stage Manager?

Seems like it's an error on GCC and Clang, though just a warning on MSVC. That makes it much less of a foot gun at least.
Instead of your IDE very easily telling you on click the callers or callees of things you'd rather have events where you have no idea who might be processing or sending a particular event in your system of hundreds of microservices?

Yeah, totally easy!
it's kinda funny, that the CEO of a company that wins by halving the employment rate through ai, wants real people to return to real offices. you'd think he'd win more, the more we had towards a metaverse. honestly I think if a metaverse is to succeed it needs to be malleable easily, and with things like Midjourney that's much more accessible to non graphic artists etc, I have a feeling they'll find ways for everyone to work still -:even if the work is just mining in a virtual mine. it's still all about control.

I saw a spoken word music YouTube video once about schooling and how schools were literally devised during the industrial revolution to teach people to take orders, listen to authority, and basically be good little factory workers.

I honestly don't care what Altman says, I think openai is probably as over valued as Tesla, and will be eclipsed by others now that there's an arms race with everybody picking sides or starting their own army etc...

That leaked article, whether real or fake was some of the best commentary on the current state of open source ai vs Google and openai, Microsoft, etc... I'm a little nervous about ai being unchecked and so divested, but at the same time- do I trust Altman to be our savior and keep ai in check and only do good with it? fuck no.
> That is a novel definition of "spagetti". It's a pejorative term in software sense. Why?

I don't necessarily agree with everything OP is saying, and I certainly don't speak for them, but I completely understand what they mean by a big ball of microservice spaghetti. The spaghetti is distributed across a massive literal network of dependencies instead of being distributed off a giant graph of object dependencies, or goto statements or something. The spaghetti is real and just as messy in the microservice world as the monolith world. I should know, we inherited a massive one.

But this shouldn't be too much of a revelation since there is no silver bullet in taming software architecture. Architecting software is very subjective, and more often than not we make the wrong decisions and have to untangle the mistakes further down the road.
They didn't suggest replacing it with JavaScript.

The difference is probably more noticeable on OLED screens that have "true" black.

For personal themes I do use a bit of off black, althought usually it's something like very dark gray. It just makes screen not a complete black hole late at night
A lost phone can be replaced. Once the Google Account is gone, all your digital stuff in there is gone too. Do you want to lose 10+ years of Email, Docs, Photos. With no way to recover? It's not the password or the passkey - it's the whole bloody account.

If you lose your driving license, but still have your passport things are easy.

What if you lose your passport, driving license, birth certificate and all other forms of ID? It's like that bad.
> Setting up a democracy and slowly releasing power

In principle I agree (reporting for Radio Eriwan), cynical me wonders how that would work, the leader would have to cooperate with the West -- because the populace's support seem to depend a lot on how they think their future is looking -- but Western leaders usually visit with business leaders, who say (or tell their puppets ^W elected officials to say) "You want X? We want Y in return.".
You don't need to do something super cool to use CL. Boring stuff works too. I use a small program in production© that reads a DB, formats data and sends it to FTP servers. Was a breeze to develop, is a breeze to deploy. It's a better experience overall for me than doing it in Python.

Oh, and I do use CL's super powers during development: interactive debugger, restarting a point in the stackframe, fast and incremental compilation, good type checks by SBCL… and I get a fast binary.

Learning didn't come without a few gotchas, but they're all better documented out there now.
How does Modal perform, latency-wise?
Since it has to spin up an instance/GPU, does it take long to return results?
excluding cost (i recognize that’s a big con), is a traditional glucose meter really better? You have to plan/remember to take your readings. SUPER awkward if on the go with friends for example. I’m also not really seeing the big deal if it doesn’t measure the actual blood reading. Unless you’re trying to do a scientific study. A CGM is good at spotting large changes in blood sugar - that’s really all that matters for the average person that’s trying to learn what foods / activities bother them right? For example “i ate X and 15 min later my blood sugar spiked, maybe i should avoid X.”

It’s also harder to see how quickly your body responds to light exercise unless you carry your poking stick with you lol.

Maybe i’m missing the bigger picture?
“Cytokine Storm” Debunked: Machine Learning Exposes Killer of Covid-19 Patients
A robotic vacuum is one of those "simple" problems (the earliest roombas weren't even really "smart" at all, they just drove in a random walk pattern and assumed they'd eventually get all the floor).

A robot that can pick up a shirt from the floor and fold it and put it away is one of those "almost impossibly hard" problems.

I suppose something like that may exist, but if you can afford the millions of dollars it would cost, you can just hire a maid/cleaning service once a day.
Fair enough, that's a point of view I did not consider. But still, the sex one could perfectly be on a more similar scale by for example putting as Level4 something like "showing forced or violent sex", just as we have death with gore at L4 for violence).
And I know we are talking about a '90s rating system but I lived that era and it's something I always thought, even back in the day. For example, 80% of the movies with guns, bullets and blood AND a sex scene never show women breasts or genitalia, not even for a split second.
The IAC piece is the same across both. Except with k8s you’re managing infrastructure across cloud, k8s, potentially frameworks like helm, etc.

And on a large team there’s very little likelihood that everyone understands the different configuration layers. There’s very little likelihood that people understand the scope that changes to configuration might touch either. But when you work with CDK, it’s one tool to understand.

Faster and better way to grow into production ignores team level problems and team level constraints. At 10, 20, 100 engineers this is fine. But when you have dozens of teams you’re almost certainly losing efficiency by being prescriptive.

I find that this type of pedantry really surrounds the k8s ecosystem. I think k8s is an enterprise scale tool that has uses in enterprise applications. But the idea of suggesting it to everyone is lunacy
Different, but I have a habit of breaking valve cover bolts too, with just a screwdriver even.

Click, swear, back it off a quarter turn. Often with vice grips. I've been lucky so far.

Not great either is the way my impact gun is designed. You put it down on the wrong side, and the direction slider gets pushed so you're ramming it back on instead of taking it off.
No, that far overestimates the speed and impact of natural selection.

Having <1% of population die before breeding because of some factor (no matter if drug overdoses or something else) is not a sufficiently big pressure to nudge towards an opioid resistance in just a few generations; if there today were some meaningful sub-population with such a resistance, an effect so tiny as the current overdose deaths might result in that resistance spreading over hundreds or thousands of generations; it would take a few more orders of magnitude more overdose deaths to have an effect in just a few generations. Similarly for hormonal birth control, especially if it fails, it has an above-average likelihood of being aborted.

I mean, all these things can happen, but not after we're dead, but at the time scale of year 3000+ by which time I'd expect that medical technology would allow us to control these genes directly, making the direction of natural selection irrelevant.
> if all you're doing in destructors is deallocating memory and releasing handles to system resources, this shouldn't matter.

That "if" is doing some heavy lifting. C++ places a lot of stock in RAII, so failing to call destructors could cause lots of interesting failure modes. I don't think it's fair to dismiss this fundamental part of the language so easily.
For the past couple years, I've been using this hacked version of xf86-input-evdev (by Teika Kazura), which allows the use of a space bar for the space and as a "control" modifier if held: https://github.com/lambdaloop/at-home-modifier-evdev

I made a small modification so that if the space key is pressed shortly after a regular character, it just inserts a space immediately. This makes typing feel more natural, with spaces inserted as usual.

I like this better than using the comma as a modifier, as the space bar is nicely positioned on the keyboard to take advantage of your thumbs already.

Day to day, it's such a natural extension that I forget that I have this on. However, this is the first thing I install when I set up a new computer, as otherwise a lot of shortcuts are much more strenuous.

Edit: I just realized that, while editing this, I've been pressing space-backspace (aka ctrl-backspace with this module) to delete whole words. I guess it's fully ingrained now!

Shouldn't it say 'beat humans at'?
Totally agree on the tough balance. At best it's a trade off of different forms of technical, process, and business debt.

Doing deep enough architectural thinking and planning at the start to focus on maintaining flexibility (which can be achieved in many ways) without premature optimization or engineering can go a long way. Basically, don't work yourself into a corner or concrete too quickly by trying to do too much, or too little is an approach I try to keep in mind. Technical and architectural debt comes with interest as well.

One way to reduce the architectural risk is to make the first version a throwaway. It can burn through assumptions. Similar to design thinking, going broad and converging twice can help get a better sense of vector,
I don't think that's really a huge factor, based on my many years doing all sorts of volunteer work. These kind of small conflicts happen all the time in all sorts of contexts. The thing that makes Wikipedia so difficult is there is no one with any authority to tell people to knock it off (or rather, things need to escalate quite badly before someone comes in and does so). At your job there's our boss or whomever, and even at many volunteer jobs there's often someone who intervenes at an early enough stage. This is also why small conflicts between neighbours can escalate so bewilderingly spectacularly in ways that can be hard to understand for onlookers.

Having encountered the project before, I immediately knew what "Turbo Rascal"/TRSE was, though I forgot what TRSE stood for.

And before someone says "that's impossible, even vanilla macOS development forces you to use Xcode", nope that's not true. You can compile macOS apps with clang just fine.

That makes no sense, a start up in the bootstrapping phase needs to conserve all the cash it can. Having a real office is extremely costly, and I'm certain there's many businesses that may have survived that died, had they not had that extra expense.

it's also easier to find better talent to build startups remotely and for less pay initially with maybe more equity... than it is in a specific area, plus you need to relocate to big cities.

I'm in southern Utah, rural. I'm 2 hours from Vegas, if my startup needs some face time we can all fly to Vegas for a retreat or something or meet once a month there... other than that remotes the only way I'll work and I don't think anyone should be forced into an office if their productivity is better remotely.
This might seem obvious but… can’t you decide to not do those things?

You’ve heard the advice to live within your means? Having two kids and a non-income producing partner when you make minimum wage is not living within your means. That’s like buying a fucking Ferrari and complaining you’re getting killed on monthly loan payments.

You make $30k a year? Spend less. Get a roommate, or a spouse, split rents. Don’t eat restaurant food or god forbid Uber Eats every damn day. You’ll be living a decent life on a workable budget in no time.

I swear, so many complaints about not being able to afford anything to live sound like self inflicted wounds. People want to have kids and a housewife before they can barely support themselves. That’s not the way to live.

It’s disturbing that the poor increasingly find themselves entitled to everything, without producing much value themselves.

> What happens when there is a better USB-C plug

Probably something similar to what happened when the EU mandated mini-USB B for phones and USB-C was rolled out.

Just in case: every phone used to have its own proprietary charging port. Typically (but not always) contemporary models of the same brand had the same port, but that was it. This led tp a ton of chargers - and e-waste, because 2 years later the charging port had, of course, changed.

The EU came and legislated this nonsense out of existence - and good riddance to that!

That was mini-usb-b. We've moved on to usb-c nowadays, and the EU is expanding the legislation to cover most chargeable items.

Your worry is relevant, but the EU's track record in this particular field is absolutely stellar and more than sufficient to assuage me.

Apologies, I hit submit accidentally sooner than intended.

Splitting a monolith, in a monorepo, can be conspired to break into microservices a bit easier than going the other way. There's a lot more tooling becoming available.

The committment to cloud, serverless, devops has occured when the complexity of administering servers was high. Banking on progress, the administering servers has become exponentially simpler. The recent project from the basecamp guys (mrsk?) is an example of this.

You could almost roll your own "serverless" with enough postgres exposing itself as a queue and/api. Once you outgrow it, so be it. Tools like Hasura are quite interesting.

I hope I'm missing the sarcasm or irony but saying driving a taxi isn't hard work is a really ignorant comment.

It's the kind of privileged statement coming from naive knowledge workers who believe that intellectual challenges are the ultimate measurement of difficulty.

Personally, I think having a job where your only challenge is solving puzzles is one of the most privileged and lucky one could have, especially if it pays well.

I'd invite anyone who's a knowledge worker to go work a 'dumb' job for multiple, mindnumbing and nonstop hours. Love this idea that taxis and McDonald's aren't "hard work" and therefore undeserving of respect or fair payment.

Hardest jobs I've ever had were those that were the most boring and you were explicitly unable to distract yourself to get through the day. Driving a taxi would actually be up there for me in terms of difficulty because at least if you were doing some repetitive manual labour like washing cars you could throw on music/podcast, zone out and you'd be healthier on your feet all day.

Driving a taxi means you have to go through repetitive, mind-numbingly boring operations for hours a day, but the whole time you have to maintain focus to avoid accidents. You cant watch anything, and because you have customers who might not like what you're playing, you probably don't have a choice in what music you listen to either. You're sitting all day barely moving, so by the end of the day you're completely stiff and don't even have the satisfaction of having physically worked hard.
This is absurd notion since the question of accepting Russia into the EU was never raised even remotely, therefore we have no idea what specific conditions will be negotiated by the parties in this nonexistent scenario. I don't really think Russia could be included in the EU in any form.

It could, however, by 2013 have massive students exchange, Schengen visa waiver programme for short visits, cultural exchange, etc. None of that happened. EU just wanted oil & gas and unilaterally accept some of the brighter students into their universities, ideally having them pay for that privilege.

EU also wanted to "euroassociate" our neighbour countries, where they will get no guarantees or support of being EU member, but would open their markets to the EU and half-shut their markets, and borders, towards Russia. That was a directly hostile move towards Russia, who was completely shut off these arrangements.

EU and USA were also openly nagging Ukraine to boot Russian naval base from Crimea. A directly hostile move which backfired quickly and led to the whole war thing in the end.
The problem with the name is that I thought it was going to be something entirely different. The genius of the name is that I clicked the link.

But I thought it was a debugging story about old software and that "Rascal" was a slight at Borland's expense or a typo. Either way, I like old software and I like debugging stories.

To my surprise this is a very cool IDE for building software (games/demos) for 8/16-bit computers of yesteryear.
shrug I personally hate cooperative multitasking, and so far never ran into a problem that couldn't be scaled with system threads and use of select/poll. But am sure Google sees its uses.

Remember when you are being interviewed, you are also interviewing them. It's your main chance to get a feel for what the company is like - though if they make you an offer you can often request a further "meet and greet" with the team you'd be on.

And it's not a marriage; there's no real downside to moving on a year or two later if it doesn't work out.
A different SKU for enterprise managed devices would cripple IT departments that don't pay the big bucks to e.g. verizon to manage their device provisioning & MDM enrollment.

Completely agree.

My current job let me WFH the past couple years but now they're insisting I do the 2H+ commute again four days a week once my current project ends, and I don't think I'm going to be able to manage it long (and the office culture is exactly what you've described).

If they put me on another project I can WFH from after a few weeks, I'll stick around at least a bit longer, but I don't think I'll last if they keep expecting me to go to the office. Tech job recession be damned, I'll eat some of my savings and sit out for a few months until I find something else if I must, as much as I hate that idea.

But even that I expect will still have a lot of that bullshit you're mentioning.

I don't have a problem with coding itself, I'm having fun still working on my game in my spare time, relaxing in a quiet room at a library, but in a corporate environment my brain just feels so fractured and distracted and the projects don't really hold any interest to me.
Of course there is nothing technical to be said. There is plenty of personal anecdote and associated feelings to be shared however, which is what homo sapiens primarily enjoy :)

You get double the thrill if you think you are engaging in a technical conversation all the while arguing anecdotal experiences, beliefs and biases.

Apart from that, I'm not sure I see your point. If Apple left the EU market, their stock would tank, and Google would be delighted to pick up the market share.

Your framing is interesting, by the way. When Apple puts restrictions on its users, that's corporate freedom. When the democratic legislative process of the EU results in restrictions on Apple, that's bullying.
