Look at people who go into politics for decades; circling the same roleplay. I know a physicist who lives in a state of helplessness they never peeled a potato until their 40s. A man named Farmer is a Farmer for life; old Middle Ages roleplay.

4% of the country hunts and most rely on the JIT logistics games by billionaires for profit extraction because the masses have been propagandized to be incurious and helpless.

We’ve just created another hierarchical social order given 70+ year old politicians and their politicians and siblings grew up with religion and nation state civic life rammed down their throats. Whoever thinks listening to a bunch of religious, post war shellshocked, Cold War paranoids is a good idea is insane themselves.

Oh ageism! Yes against the youth expected to prop up the hallucinated investments of people they don’t know who deflate our buying power to insulate their own and being left with an ecological disaster is ageist.
Was there a game something like that in “Consider Phlebas”? I thought about mentioning it in the article but decided it wasn't worth the time it would take.
I wrote a blog post about AVIF [0]. Based on my experience, AVIF usually performs best in regards to the size and quality. Due to progressive enhancement, you don't have to actually choose between the available formats. By providing JPG/PNG, WebP and AVIF with the "picture" element, the browser will use the one it supports.

As for looking into the crystal ball, I wouldn't make any bets. But seing browsers removing existing support for JPEG XL, the image format many hoped to replace existing formats, I currently hold onto AVIF.

When YC started, startups weren’t mainstream, and the key skill needed was the ability to build things.

Now the ability to build things is more widely available, and there are lots of opportunities to make profitable companies without being on the cutting edge of tech skill. For those, being able to sell and reach customers is more critical. Hence what you are seeing.

In some domains of course, cutting edge tech skill is the key advantage, and for those kinds of startups, that’s where you’ll see YC fund the hacker types.

> TCE is highly persistent in soil and groundwater; inhalation through vapor from these hidden sources is likely the prime route of exposure today. However, it’s detectable in many foods, in up to one-third of U.S. drinking water, and in breast milk, blood, and urine.

the groundwater route still seems pretty troubling

From your linked article:

>> the idea that firms are capitalizing on their market power by raising their prices higher and faster than the growth in their production costs.

You think this is a plausible explanation in a competitive capitalist economy rather than the problem being trillions of dollars having been printed which devalues all money which makes prices go up which makes the corporations look like they made record profits because you HAVE to charge more money because all money is worth less and every input costs more? I'm not saying they didn't necessarily make record profits, btw, but if they did then good on them and that smells like a blood in the water type of business opportunity.

Plasma 6: “Better Defaults” – Adventures in Linux and KDE
All my desktop GUI software since 90s was / still is done in Delphi (Lazarus for multiplatform). The language / IDE grew but remained compatible and I've never had to throw away the code.

C++ merrily carried my backend solutions over the same timeframe with the same results.

Same for C when writing firmware.

Same for JavaScript / HTML for browser based front ends.

In all of the above I used some domain specific libs but stayed away from big frameworks as those come and go pretty fast.

I consider neither as a tech debt as they let me concentrate on the product rather than dwell on what tech do I use. I've never felt inferior for not using this new and shiny doodad as I've always delivered superior products and that is what mattered for my clients.

Yes I had to program in whole bunch of other languages upon client requests but this was rather rare. I have good track record in creating new products from scratch and that is what my clients really want. They mostly do not care what I use for development.

So no. I do not feel that tech debt at all and I still play with other tech a little to stay current in case it is needed by client.
Short answer: Yes.

I'm an avid pen and paper user, and use it in different modes. Two modes related to journaling are "short bursts" and "diary writing".

First kind happens whenever I need to put something I feel on to paper and reflect. They're haphazard, short to medium length writings which allows me to understand what I'm feeling.

Second kind is rarer, but allows me spend quality time with my thoughts, make bigger event in my life permanent and reflect on them at the same time.

Journaling allows me clear my mind about the things I go through, and see things with a wider perspective, also it allows me to compact the events to feelings or wisdom, by offloading the details to my diary, and carry only the gist of the event with me. It's also soothing and relaxing for me.
I agree. I wasn't responding to the original post, I was responding to a comment about monitoring.

I also don't believe for a second that JPM are doing what the original post is saying they're doing in regard to private devices. It would be astonishingly expensive and illegal in some jurisdictions. And thousands of people would need to know, in detail, for it to be useful so wouldn't just have come out in a subreddit. It would be widely known in the industry (and it isn't).

It isn’t really though. If this were true rendering text would be super slow - but it isn’t. Text shaping and rendering is done on the CPU on all the major platforms and is simply highly optimized.

My dream retirement job is to work at a tax agency, like CRA or IRS, and help maintain their mountain of COBOL. I don't know COBOL, I don't know the ecosystem around it, but I absolutely know that I would love to learn it.

My first job was in a similar environment, supporting a homegrown application (which had grown out of a long-defunct commercial application) running on a Pick-style database system (UniVerse). The whole thing could trace its roots back to a Prime mainframe. Reading the code, especially the older stuff, was such an adventure.

Workforce Activity Data Utility…sounds like it’s right out of black mirror.
I always thought it was tow, like a tugboat towing something and keeping it aligned.

Instead it’s about foot races!

“ The phrase means “follow the rules or obey an authority.” “Tow the line” is a misspelling based on “toe” and “tow” sounding the same, but “tow the line” is always an error. The phrase comes from the idea of standing at the starting line before a race (i.e., getting as close as possible without overstepping the mark).”
“Runtime dispatch” does not require that the CPU feature be queried on each call. There are designs that can do a single query on launch and set up the environment so that future calls do not incur any additional penalty.
Another place you could check for insight into this question would be Reddit’s learn machine learning and machine learning and deep learning subreddits. Good luck with making the resources, sounds useful!

It's a good thing if the environment around your VB6 stuff can still work with it, or accept it. Many systems get replaced when the substrate they run on is no longer supported as in "won't run on any hardware still in its warranty cycle or with parts available", or everything around has changed and the layer of glue needed to keep the old system alive and talking to everything else has grown to be prohibitively complex and expensive and is now more like a load-bearing structure by itself. If you can replace it and also fire warm bodies who used to keep it alive by being the irreplaceable wizards with arcane knowledge and job security, it just might be a net win.

I hear tales about several layers of emulators the sources for which are forever lost, with the bottommost of them running some very mission critical early COBOL or ALGOL-69 (or Lisp, who knows) code written back in the days when it had been that newfangled thing young guns liked, and which no one now can reimplement today (maybe because elves have died out from smog and the golden age is over), but they may be bunk.

European cats aren't native to northern america, and as result, they're quite an invasive species with significant harm to the ecosystem. But that's not just limited to cats, that issue applies even to different species of lawn grass.

The other issue is destruction of ecosystem in the EU, where cats are native and primarily used as scapegoat.

Both of these need entirely different solutions, but "don't let cats outside" is very oversimplified and just serves to divide people.

That changes nothing on the hyping of science fiction "risk" of those intelligences "escaping the box" and killing us all.

The argument for regulation in that case would be because of the socio-economic risk of taking people's jobs, essentially.

That's a good question.

The simplest solution would be to plug your equipment into USB and AC power strips, then switch the power strip cords whenever you want to change setups.

The problem with doing this is:

1) You lose the ability to individually monitor the power consumption of each device, and

2) You'd have to use an AC inverter to power your non-USB-powered (e.g. your laptop or monitor). Using an inverter wastes a lot of energy, because you're converting from DC to AC back to DC. The more energy you waste, the less you have available to power your equipment.
> Don't forget all the getters and setters merely updating/reading a variable

> and in the most verbose/inflexible ways possible

It's actually extra flexibility meant for two things: being able to override the getter/setter in a subclass, and keeping a consistent interface so users don't need to change how it's called if there was a refactor that adds something to the getter/setter (such as transforming the value because a different representation was more useful internally; particularly useful for libraries).

Python has @property to maintain that interface if need be, but these Java conventions started when no such thing existed in the language. I haven't done Java in a long time, so I don't know if it has it even now..
Well stock value is like that. Apple’s “real” worth though is definitely more close to its stock prices than, say tesla’s which had at point more value per share than all the other auto factories combined or something like that?

Apple is definitely not a bubble comparatively, it has both the track history, the factories, human capacity for all their products.

I'm a freelancer in data engineering / machine learning engineer. I've so far never held a role that I had the technical skills for (well... I do have the underlying knowledge, but not the particular frameworks/tools), because every time my freelance project ends and I'm looking for the next one, the tools have already changed to something else that is hip. Or the go-to architecture is now a different one. Or the way you deploy it all is completely different.

It's pretty frustrating. I keep trying to do courses to keep my skills up-to-date, but it doesn't matter. Those courses by themselves are already outdated a year later. The only things that have been solid in my career, is the CS knowledge and theoretical knowledge from books like 'designing data intensive applications'. That stuff rarely changes. The rest is like waves in a sea. They come and go.
Already on that path too, we buy most of our food from local farms as well.

I may very well have misunderstood your original message. I interested how change like breaking up the corporate oligarchies or shifting people from service jobs to farming could be made without massive government intervention.

The way I see it, our whole system is based on an economy that just doesn't line up at all with a farming-first type of approach. Major industries wouldn't be able to make that shift, modern conveniences would likely fall away, and the federal debt we keep piling higher and higher could never be paid.

Thst said, I have my own preconceived notions here and am genuinely curious what alternatives I've missed.
I doubt anyone will hold it against you if you can find a better opportunity. And you do it once. So if you see something that really sounds interesting then go for it. if not, than stick it out.
My first thought is your company may have grown beyond the point where Mac’s have clear advantages.

I mean when someone asks me which computer should I buy, I say a Mac because it is quantity one.

But at fleet scale? Something like Dell because of support, product line breadth, and a B2B ethos…I mean Dell has technicians who will come on site and fix your gear.

And your employees gear.

Companies like Dell have staff that helps companies meet compliance targets. They have relationships with specialized consultants who solve business problems.

They work with small businesses. Apple doesn’t do that because it’s business model is different. That might be why you feel like inventing your own wheel is the way forward.

Because the current friction is only likely to increase and the solutions are not a core competency of your business, my advice is to find a consultant who solves these problems for a living.

This is a cost center not a profit center.

Good luck.

The stickiest code I ever wrote was an open source library released in 2000 or thereabouts. It’s still in use, and still new users are adopting it. Someone made a Wikipedia page for it. I think it’s embedded in most Apple products.

Other than that, yeah, most of what I’ve made is no longer used by any significant number of people.

Not sure if there’s any wisdom to draw from this anecdote, but I did spend a lot of cycles in trying to perfect that library!
I think you want that to be true more than it actually is. It's basically implicit basis training 101 -- have the thought, take a step back and evaluate whether your conditioned response (ie gut reaction) is reasonable given the situation (has that guy actually done anything threatening or have you been taught to be afraid of men at night), and adjust your response if necessary. Repeat until your conditioned response changes.

GPT has the the exact same problem having been trained on humans and OpenAI's process for dealing with it is similar.

I'm not the target audience for these features, and don't want to speculate on behalf of others, so I'll just focus on my own needs...

Live Speech: I actually answer unknown phone numbers (usually) and would like text-to-speech on my calls because I've started to get concerned about what can be done, fraud-wise, with even small samples of my voice. So in this case, using another's voice is fine, even preferred. (Edit: I suppose I'd actually prefer a voice-changer here, which is less related to this accessibility feature. But I think Apple is unlikely to do that.)

Personal Voice: When my girlfriend texts me when I'm out with my AirPods, I think we'd both like me to hear her message in her actual voice rather than Siri's. This feature doesn't allow for that yet, but the pieces are all there.

Finally, Apple needs to detect and tell me when I'm listening to a synthetic voice, including when it's not being generated by Apple. There's fraud potential here. I'm clearly excited about this tech, but I want to know more on this front.
What do you mean you can’t have a time card? You aren’t paid based on it usually, but you most certainly can track your hours. This is standard in any company that bills out their employees’ services hourly (lawyers, consultants, engineers, doctors). In fact, some salaried employees get overtime by law or by company policy. How could this be paid if time wasn’t tracked?
Which 'contemporary artists' still paint in the classical style? I can't think of any.
If they didn't save Personal Voice for WWDC, just think what they may have ready to announce there. On its own Personal Voice would have been a headline grabbing announcement, but they dropped it now. That suggests to me exciting things.
