The condition, according to the article, was not having taken pills and being dying, but "if a call-attendant believed a person might be at “imminent risk” of taking their own life in the next few hours, days, or week".

This is weak enough that it will happen many times for people who are not in a significant risk, but for whom such an intervention can be seriously detrimental to their life. Note that suicidal thoughts are most of the time just thoughts and not acted upon.

If nothing else, it should be made clear to the person calling what risks they are taking. Many people might believe that they have confidentiality and that they can talk freely without risk of consequence.

This type of thing a surprisingly common mistake, I've come across it several times in industry.

An example of this done right: If you disconnect a SAN volume from VMware and attach it to a completely different cluster, it's readable. You can see the VM configs and disks in named folders. This can be used for DR scenarios, PRD->TST clones, etc...

Done wrong: XenServer. If you move a SAN volume to a new cluster, it gets shredded, with every file name replaced by a GUID instead. The file GUID to display name mapping is stored in a database that's only on the hosts! That database is replicated host-to-host and can become corrupted. Backing up just the SAN arrays is not enough!

Yeah a memecoin is a shitcoin that gets pump n dumped.
I’d call it “meeting spec as defined.”

And that’s the whole problem with this AI / llm / gpt bubble:

Nobody has scientifically or even simply defined the spec, bounds, or even temporal scope on what it “means” to “get to ai.”

Corporations are LOVING that because they can keep profiting off this bubble.
Assuming $50 per hour it’s 260 hours of work. Divide that between a programmer (static websites still need too be coded) and designer that’s 130 hours each - less than a month of work. If the website was custom made (didn’t just use a premade Wordpress template) then this price is entirely believable.
It isn’t that there are suboptimal patterns, it’s just the more expressive your language can be at runtime, the less you can reason about statically. An example is data-dependent control flow. If you can’t reason about what branch your code is going to take statically (without your runtime data) it is harder to generate fast code for it.
The absolute worst menu experience I ever had was the Newark airport. All restaurants appear to be required to place tablets on the tables, which display a QR code that I have to scan on my phone, which requires me to create an account to order, does not accept cash, and has the audacity to ask for a tip. I flagged down a server to ask if I could just order directly, but apparently that's not allowed. I ended up going to Starbucks and getting a croissant, because I guess they had enough clout to not get roped into the mandatory ordering system.
Well, I blame a lot of bad things that happened, specifically the slow recovery from the 2008 recession, on the Fed not doing enough QE!

(Seemingly) paradoxically, the big Fed balance sheet is also a consequence of not doing enough QE fast enough.

Of course, the Fed isn't responsible for everything. For example, the Fed has nothing to do with the Jones Act.

Wow. I would have bet on the sponge-sister scenario all night long. Sponges have no neurons. This finding implies that either neurons were “lost” on the sponge lineage, or neurons evolved convergently in comb jellies and us (parahoxozoa). Both possibilities seem pretty interesting.
Though more properly, you would need to look at the risk adjusted returns, instead of just the absolute returns.
Yes. That actually simplifies the process. Perhaps a product line consisting of buttons or product labels with embedded trackers that can replace the original manufacturer label.

The tragedy of modern psychiatry is that it's so close to knowing enough to be helpful to people whose symptoms are behavioral, but the psychiatric standard of care is a straight jacket that prevents progress.

I've commented here about my efforts to extract my friend from her psychiatric misdiagnosis. tl/dr: she has the genetic condition where she can't turn the food fortification folic acid into a methylated form of Vitamin B-9 (MTHFR), which results in her being harmed by fortified food. Folate-deficiency is known to be behind problematic alcohol consumption.

She told me about how adding L-Methyl-Folate to her routine was like flipping a switch from 'depressed' to 'not-depressed'. But the doctors had already decided her substance-associated psychosis required tranquilizers ('antipsychotics') in perpetuity, and only added the vitamin to their forced prescriptions. The latest news is that she escaped from her court-ordered guardian and involuntary mental health treatments, sometime in February 2023. The antipsychotics have worn off, and she's been able to stay sober. She sounds like she's doing well.

Mad in America has published two of my blog posts. The second one was called Cargo Cult Psychiatry: https://www.madinamerica.com/2022/06/cargo-cult-psychiatry/

SCOTUS dismissed my latest petition without comment, as if to say it's perfectly fine for the mental health industry to perpetrate fraud on the United States Court. Still thinking about how to proceed.

A book - Brain Energy by Chris Palmer - was published in 2022. All the old approaches to forced psychiatric drugging have been obsolete for decades, now they're indefensible. There's nothing new in the book, Dr. Palmer just compiled 50+ years of research into his book.

I played many of them up to that point (even the SNES version), and 4 left a discernable source taste in my mouth. I could see the potential, and it was at times fun. But, for me personally, it just never hit the right notes to harmonize all of the good mechanic additions. I think part of it also was the more realistic progression you would follow (i.e. start with farms, work up to towns, etc.), but maybe I just never gave it a chance. I just expected a better version of 3.

But yeah, the successors to 4 were undoubtedly a dumpster fire.
Personally I’m happy they’re not pivoting or giving up on that investment. I think VR/AR is the future.

Twitter spaces handled around 500k I believe, and it should be much faster to make Twitter spaces be able to handle a few million users than expanding a real stadium...
Oh I do. But are teenagers going to have a thick skin for instance? It's fine for me to reject it for now, but if it becomes a social expectation it will be hard to say no without facing social consequences.

This is how American cultural norms proliferate through technology.
A corollary of "both-sides-ism", I think.
Does this mean we will be able to embed private keys and API keys in deliverables? (i.e. to cryptographicaly sign artifacts, APIs tokens, and other niceties).

Sucks that DRM and user rights violations is about to get much much worse.
Scala, yes.

It’s still growing.

The companies that do commit to Rust usually have a fair amount of work ahead.

And the typical developers are C/C++ developers who sometimes bring a bunch of unsafe habits that make the whole transition kind of pointless.
The Patriot certainly is defending some potential target, however it also requires systems to protect the Patriot itself from various kinds of weapons. Air defence is extremely complex and layered when you have to be able to intercept 15000$ drones flying at 150km/h, subsonic cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and gliding bombs of various types and speed, and super/hypersonic cruise missiles.
I know it’s fun to hate on VR here but I wish more people would try it, get their mind blown, and shut up about it.
Writing (including code and word documents) tends to push the vertical bounds of screenspace rather than horizontal.

Media (widescreen cinema) is more horizontal.
For me, and others, ‘waiting’ is time to think, converse, or watch the world rotate. I also prefer the old fashioned method of communicating with a fellow human to order my food. I want the opposite of what you want, and that’s okay.

Willing to bet the experience in Japan is superior to the average we get in the US.

Many illegally sold drugs are now lightly dusted with fentanyl. I have no interest in opiates but always test any substance I use to ensure I’m not getting an opiate additive. Cannabis dusted with fentanyl is more addictive and produces a stronger high, which is why the cartels etc do that kind of thing. Same with other drugs - adding tiny amounts of fentanyl leads to more repeat sales for black market sellers.

The argument around legalize, test and regulate would help ensure the safety of recreational drugs in general, and reduce the black market’s ability to lure people to more addictive and thus profitable substances.

This analogy seems pretty disingenuous. Static memory safety isn't an unambiguous good like handwashing; it has tradeoffs. There are many projects where control over memory is critically important and using a language like Rust is a non-starter. Also, the implication that developers who don't switch to Rust are negligently harming people is unnecessarily moralistic and divisive.
that's the title of the article up there, but should note the writing they are suggesting it should be used for is in fields where originality and aesthetic quality are not valued qualities.

Are info pages still a thing? I remember being very confused by them back when I started out with Linux, and eventually just stopped trying to understand how they worked.
Side-by-side is horizontal.

I'd like three terminals or code editor windows side by side. I don't care about the vertical space as much.
It's not the same because with Wasm you only need to distribute a single binary to support all current and future platforms.
Most of the older software engineers are tinkerers. Like when I was a kid I tried to take apart all my toys and see how it worked. When a computer magazine came out with a game listing I typed it in and learned from it. Then moved and changed things around to see how it worked. This is how I went into software engineering.

These days I just do it for a living mostly. CRUD code, arbitrary complex systems because of governance/compliance. It is all a bit boring. It is a how I make a good bundle of money.

On the side I build custom motorcycles. Older ones... I buy an engine that is as mechanical as possible. Easy to fix/maintain etc. Then I do metal fabrication and build a bike around it. For hours I can tinkering with this. Just as I did over 25+ years ago with my computers.

what I wat to say is you still need people to do this so they can dive deep into the abstractions. Bit how people are able to drive their car, maybe know highlevel how the engine works. But are not able to build or maintain one :)

A 16:9 screen is too short when working on 16:9 video.

It is really nice to have video span, if not the entire viewport, most of it, with the timeline down below. 16:10 gives you a nice bit of control area.

But 3:2 is even better. Hell, give me a 5:4 screen—I live and die in Figma all day, working on mobile app mockups. Which are very tall, obviously, and get awfully small on these HDTV-ish aspect ratios.
The author wrote a thoughtful article attempting to break this down and has humbly popped into the comments to discuss it... Is your direct response really just to cross your arms and say nope? Like, really?

In Germany Nazi symbols are strictly banned but you are allowed to name soldiers killers. My hunch is that calling a veteran or active member of the armed forces of the US a killer would not go so well and might very well end in a slander suit.

When you free speech is restricted still seems pretty arbitrary to me [shrug].
I’m a big fan of command line tools and probably the one I use the most is tldr. It’s what all man pages should have in their first paragraph but don’t, it’s just snippets of how to actually use the thing in the most common ways with a brief explanation.
The "old" Framework 13 is still not available in the vast majority of countries[1], including most of the EU (and forget about it if you live anywhere outside the Western world).

I find it pretty surprising that designing an entirely new device has higher priority for them than making sure people who don't live in one of 9 countries can buy their existing product. I get that the listed countries are huge markets, but there are also huge markets elsewhere and entering them doesn't seem to be a priority for the company at all, with snail-like progress on regional availability in the 2 years since US+Canada started shipping.

I don’t remember that he said it was easy, I read some of his tweets and listened (twice) to the twitter space he did with elon and the big take away for me was that he was convinced twitter wouldn’t be able to move much without a heavy refactor. I can believe that. Elon who disagreed with him at the time seemed to have changed his mind now.
I was expecting "your life will likely end in failure and disappointment, so you might as well cut your losses" but got "give up on your failed startup so you can play more D&D."
I think it is probably worth having deep understanding of some things. The reason is that getting that deep understanding will be hard, and doing so will make you smarter, not just at that thing but in general. A bit like the enlarged hippocampus of London Cab drivers who have to remember all the streets (being a London Cab driver might be as good as learning networking to a deep level?).

Then when you are given something hard to quickly learn, e.g. say you need to go from zero to Kubernetes pro in a week, doing so should be easier. Or even learning the bits that are worth learning to optimize that week so you can be most productive after it, will be easier.

It is a different argument than the one about avoiding leaky abstractions.
Indeed, what I was referring to was the legalisation of weed in some states. No doubt the war on drugs will keep on going for years to come.

You called 998, you called the "authorities" already. Cat's out of the bag. Van's engine is running. They know where you live and they know how fast you're moving.

Neeva was positioning itself as private search, that was high quality and was going to deliver “answers”. They looked oh so cool and useful until ChatGPT erupted on the scene and got 10billion in funding. Then Bing began to offer many of the features of Neeva minus the privacy. Now Snowflake has a team of smart kids with AI skills, and it makes total sense to accelerate their product roadmaps this way. Tough for the Neeva crew, they got caught in an innovation tidalwave.
The whole point of the article was that there's no transparency. Nobody knows how many calls gets passed along to 911 and there's no way for an end user to know if they are getting pinged/traced. It is a fraud and a violation of trust for 988 to bill itself as confidential under these circumstances.
It uses native GUI widgets. Some of those screenshots are ancient. But also it only binds a least common denominator subset of widgets, so applications will lack many of the niche widgets and layouts that platform-native applications often use to keep a fresh look & feel.

Please tell me that post is parody.
You've got some good advice already, but one that I'll add here is adopting the principle of charity [0]. Every time someone talks to you, interpret their words in the way that is most favorable to their argument and your mutual interactions. This assumption goes a long way to short-circuiting any negative thoughts you might have about their intentions.

For example, if there seem to be two interpretations of a comment on a PR, one that is genuine and one that is snarky, assume they were genuinely trying to help and reject the snarky version. This is easier said than done, but it's a useful skill to practice.

A friend once explained his philosophy to me, that I find helpful:
"Once you've written it, it's just code. Someone can always find a better way or improvements and that's fine"

I think the second sentence is true for everyone's code and that's what makes the job interesting.

Also jobs rarely aim for perfection, they aim to create value efficiently for the business. If the best way of getting there is producing code with a few mistakes that are when later picked up in a code review then that's fine too.

If this resonates with you at all, then when something annoys you repeating to yourself "It's just code" might help. Best of luck!
It's a sort of landfill for shitty, unpopular in their home country politicians, too.
He even invoked the, "Dangers of online misinformation" trope. What a hero! Sadly this was not a parody.
Companies can do two things at the same time. The people working on sales and marketing are probably not the same people doing design and engineering.

The reason I took criticism of my work personally was that I build my identity around the fact that I'm smart and good with computers. If you think of yourself as having value BECAUSE you're good at X - it's almost impossible not to take criticism personally.

You can pretend not to care, because it seems professional - but inside you'll still be hurting, and by default you'll still act to prevent the damage to your ego - anything else will require constant attention. It's not sustainable.

The solution is to detach the perception of your value as a human being from your work.
So same answer as free ChatGPT, only terser.
PGP didn't make it intractable, the problem is itself intractable... you're referring to the public key infrastructure (PKI)[1] problem, which many have tried to solve and failed.

PGP can use the only known solution to the problem, which is letting several key servers be configured by the user to import keys (which can then be verified by checking the key fingerprint on another source which is "trusted", like the publisher's own website).

You can still import keys by physically exchanging trusted keys with others (so called Key Signing Party[2]) but that obviously cannot scale... or using any innovative method you come up with, but no one has found a bullet proof way to do this that's usable.

But saying PGP only solves half the problem is wrong. It solves one problem: that of how to verify a publisher's artifacts were not modified, which is valuable.

The next problem to solve is how to obtain and vet public keys from publishers. The solution could work somewhat like TLS certificates (with certificate authorities playing the role of trusted key servers) or using blockchain (perhaps a rare problem for which blockchain could actually be helpful) but both of these bring their own issues with them. If you know of a better solution, though, do bring it up instead of throwing the bathwater out with the "baby"!

Their "screen deep dive" [0] mentions this bit:

> There was no existing panel that satisfied all of these needs, so we instead developed a semi-custom LCD display module with BOE, the same panel maker we use for the Framework Laptop 13. The “semi” part is that we customized the backlight for higher brightness and liquid crystal chemistry for better contrast and color gamut while leveraging an existing TFT mask set to avoid needing to pay a few million dollars in tooling fees.

So probably the existing TFT masks all where 16:9 and 16:10?

I personally would also have preferred a higher aspect ratio screen (my favorite laptop is still the IBM Thinkpad X41, which had a 4:3 display), but the other features are probably more important than... 8% more screen height.
