I understand this point of view. Unfortunately, for those who entered computing out of a passion for it, it’s difficult to work for employers or managers where computing isn’t a passion. This leads to all sorts of practices that suck the joy out of programming (e.g., Leetcode, meetings, KPIs, PIPs, certain design decisions, etc.), reducing it to a corporate “monkey dance.” Maybe I have rose-colored glasses, or maybe I’m simply expecting too much from employment, but it seems to me that back in the 80s and 90s there was a lot more passion in the field compared to today. The pressure and the constraints are enough to make me want to change occupations at times away from computing and treat it as solely a hobby or as a side venture, except I can’t think of any other occupation that pays enough to live in America’s expensive cities that doesn’t require returning to graduate school and getting into five or six more figures of debt for a professional degree.
The performance "optimizations" are all about eliminating the bridge between ObjC and Swift.

I'd love to see a comparison of how the functions work within their own realm, e.g.:

- Speed of a date function in pure ObjC, tested in ObjC realm with no Swift bridge

- Speed of the same date function in pure Swift, tested in Swift realm with no ObjC bridge.

Otherwise, introducing an extra bridge with the language, then getting rid of it isn't a performance improvement, it's getting back to the baseline.
Wait what did Slack do?
Getting rid of paypal is not a bad idea anyway; some day they will ‘disappoint’ you too (and steal some money). It’s in their dna. After that you can get rid of your phone. Although all banks in my country need a mobile phone (and some a modern smartphone) too; not sure how that is elsewhere.
That’s what’s sad (imho) with moving away from physical releases. Getting a pressed CD was cheap, even for the most cash strapped band. I could take it home, rip it and have copies on an iPod, a CD-RW for the car, on my computer and media server. Should anything happen, the original disc is right there to rip again.

Movies are the same. With the demise of video rental shops, and content going in an out of half a dozen streaming services, it can be really challenging to find obscure movies that used to be easy to find. Browsing sucks now as well. And if I throw that into a watch later list and get back to it in a few weeks, there’s a chance it won’t be there.

I’d love to pair down my physical collections, but that concern of losing something and not being able to find it again is a huge impediment.

I’m reading definitions of appropriation, and I don’t see the applicability. The bit about ‘without permission’ doesn’t seem to apply. I’m not taking anything, they offered their labour for sale.

Can you describe how a civilisation might function without appropriation as you define it?

I mean... I don't know, I've done this as a full-time job for 10 years already. I still like it but I have other stuff going on I'm interested in and it's hard to sustain the same level of enthusiasm after that much time. Even in a career like acting or pro sports a lot of people eventually are just working for a paycheck and not really sustained by a passion for their work.

Yes! We have comprehensive integration tests that run in the browser to ensure the generated code only uses browser-compatible APIs. Also, the generated code never uses reflection or dynamic code evaluation, so it works in Content Security Policy-restricted environments.

Reference counting is slow because it has an additional increment/decrement operator on each lifetime of a scope.

Add a little bit of salt to insult you need it to be atomic if you want it to run on SMP. This means for each time you have create/release the lifetime of an object you will make a lot of memory barriers, and create a lot of cache contention.

But in practice the overhead is actually nought, and most of the time you rather deal with I/O bound problem more than an additional atomic increment operation. Modern processor is fast enough to deal with them in few cycles in around the order of 10 nanoseconds
OpenAI (ChatGPT UI) will pivot very soon. The Web Browsing and Plugins is so underwhelming they will have no choice but to let people enter their own API keys and then rely on OpenAI’s vector DB implementation.

Plus an interest in developing one's career eventually means focusing on things other than growing slightly better at writing code (such as mentoring, designs, apportioning work, working with many stakeholders, and so on).
Since you do not mention if you're already a pro with OS internals and implementations, I will assume, maybe incorrectly, that you're not.

So in that spirit, try the XinuOS. It has the complete source code for a minimal, clean and practical OS. Search for the book explaining it inside out.

xv6, a re-implementation of Dennis Ritchie's and Ken Thompson's Unix Version 6 (v6) also comes to mind.

That always makes good sense. I think Chrome got this one right though, have a reasonable protection against abuse and trust that the end user is capable of weighing the risks.

That's well said... I feel this way even about pure fun pursuits like video games.

No one is claiming to be about you time anything which is what’s needed to actually accomplish what you’re asking for. However, if someone says “if you drive at 200 mph at night with your lights off on a winding road in the rain you’ll crash”, you’d be asking “yeah sure, but you can’t tell me which mile marker”.
100% this. As one of those people graduating from "Maker of Excel-abominations", I absolutely love that python can shape itself to my learning curve, while being useful the whole way through.

Articles like this expose people like me to concepts of typing that I never would get otherwise, and by practicing the concepts in python I might eventually be able to make the leap.

A bit late? There's big money in chemistry, and that's made chemists secretive about the data since its start in the 1700s. Longer if you include its alchemical roots.

"""This article analyzes why late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century German and German-American high-technology firms were presented as being overly secretive in chemical circles in the United States. It suggests that German chemical companies did not just develop innovative uses of the patent system, but also pioneered intellectual property strategies of which both patenting and secrecy were important components. Focusing on two German-American firms, Mallinckrodt Chemical Works and Roessler & Hasslacher, the study relates statements on restrictive knowledge management and intellectual property practices of German companies to transatlantic institutional differences. It points to a dissonance between the persistent association of German high-technology enterprises with secrecy and the actual directions in which the German and American systems of corporate intellectual property were moving in the early twentieth century."""

I'm one of those folks who loved writing code before I realized people would pay you to write code. As a result it has been my recreation for a long time.

A surprising number of acquaintances of mine have failed at retirement[1]. That has never been my problem :-). That said, I still do consulting because it lets me play with equipment that I might not otherwise decide to buy (like million $ RF labs :-)) However I've structured it to take a back seat to my own projects and the opportunities as they present to go camping or on other adventures.

I also know a bunch of people who never wanted to see a computer again after they didn't need to work, one of whom actually went back and got a degree in creative writing because they really wanted to be a writer all along.

It is also super helpful to have a spouse or partner you like to hang out with. One friend of mine opened an office so that he could be out of the house sometimes when things got too hectic.

All good problems to have.

[1] To fail at retirement is to have the resources to pay all the bills and do fun things without "working" but getting bored from the lack of interesting challenges and so going back into the workforce anyway.

I don't think devs talking directly across teams is unique to Apple, though. Or do you mean that finding "the guy" is much easier because there's an official registry, and you don't have to guess from commit logs etc?

Weird, I’ve had the exact opposite problem. Added a recovery email years ago before Google required the recovery email to be verified. Then I needed to recover the account, but I was not allowed to do so as the recovery email wasn’t verified. Despite the fact I was never asked to verify it in the first place. What’s the point of a recovery email if it can’t be used to recover the account?

That's all not programming. I absolutely hate the corporate working style.

The programming part in itself is always interesting to me, because regardless of who sets the constraints (me in a hobby project or the leadership in a company), they are what make the problem challenging and exciting.

I think for consciousness you need a sophisticated mental model of the world, but also a sophisticated mental model of other intentional agents and their mental processes. You need to be able to reason about the knowledge, beliefs and likely actions of others.

When this is generalised to enable modelling and reasoning about our own knowledge, beliefs and intentions, that’s consciousness. We literally become aware of ourselves, our intentions and thought processes recursively in ways we can reason about. So consciousness is a process, an activity. It’s a thing we sometimes do.

I actually don’t think most living things, even animals, are conscious. Mammals and some other higher animals possibly.
Simple organisms have simple sense/response nervous systems. Their reactions are mostly automatic, but can learn basic patterns of stimuli.

You might be surprised (I was). Most of the benchmarks I’ve seen place it more in the neighborhood of golang and v8, rather than the C, C++, rust neighborhood you might expect.

Another commenter in this thread highlighted that the ref-counting GC is what keeps it out of the C / Rust performance neighborhood.
So that's what I am trying to build, the relationship where customer talks directly to a freelancers but as a marketplace we will provide billing, legal, payment processing. I want to enable freelancers to work in teams, and gain trust of big clients instead of few thousand bucks gigs.

I love how you described most of the agencies as a body shops, they truly are. You talk to a salesman instead of the team you want to work with. That would be the reason for many projects failing and being overpriced.
There might be a mandatory reporting requirement, so even if it's unfounded, it still ends up on a NCMEC database. Or that law enforcement is still notified, even if no arrest happens.

Anyway it's all completely overwhelming to comprehend, emotionally. Time to take a break, to pull the network cable out of the back of my computer, and be back to normal, instead of living in Orwell's 1984 world, come true. Thankfully there's so much more to life than the Internet.
A minimal, yet valid double-entry accounting system in Python
I have loved programming (literally) my entire life. Some of the books I learned to read on was TS-2068 BASIC program listings in kindergarten.

Luckily for me, before I got too far down the road into choosing a major, it became clear to me that I would never love getting paid to program. Writing code as a career was not going to appeal to me. Being able to keep it as a hobby, where I can choose how much time I put into it, has kept me happy.

I will always wonder about "the road not taken", but I do think others are coming to that realization.
Those are both better ideas than the cited study!
I think you're getting vloser to the root issue.

You can work with passionate people. You can work for a large corporate, for a huge paycheck and stock options. Pick one.

I work for a small company, and I make a great living, but it's a fraction of a fang salary, and there is no stock to option.

On the upside I'm responsible for my code base, I work on whatever I like, (which largely overlaps with customer needs since I like getting paid.) I rarely have a zoom meeting [1], I have in-person catch-up with colleagues once a month, usually at a restaurant over a meal.

The rest of the time we gave informal chat, we push the boundaries of the possible, we experiment, try out big ideas,and generally it's still enough fun to get me out I bed in the morning.

[1] I have a few corporate customers. They exist to remind me why I don't work for a corporate. We have a weekly zoom catchup meeting. Their two lead programmers go from meeting to meeting. Its hilarious and I mock them ceaselessly for it.

But they get paid a lot more than I do, and frankly they're welcome to it.

And clearly I'm not living in San Francisco ;)
> In all seriousness, how does it even make sense to regulate expensive customer support for a free product?

It makes sense because email addresses have become the defacto gateway to our entire digital lives. Losing access to an email causes significant financial and emotional stress. It should be treated like an essential utility. There needs to be a minimum level of service even if the product is free.
I imagine at some point UCLA or Cedar Sinai will just stop offering me services? I need to see nutrition but it isn’t covered by medicare so it is $600 for an appointment but it is integral to my actual condition so it seems like I am being screwed over.

The easiest test I can think of given GPs description is to take your blood pressure, abstain from coffee for a week (?) and then take a new blood pressure. It's not an RCT so it won't be definitive, but it may suggest to you whether further investigation is likely to pay off.
