Just those few things. Do them perfectly, and everything will be great.

The managers are hopelessly outgunned. For years they (we) bumbled along, and cut our employees a lot of slack. At least I did. At the same time, they cut us some slack too, for instance by figuring out the precise details of their own tasks, working things out with colleagues, and so forth.

If each employee has to be managed perfectly, then where are you going to get managers, especially without paying them more, and with the additional expectation that managers should be technically qualified? Screw that. Most of us came out of the techie ranks. I was happy to go back.
Good thing to remember.
Personally I disagree about the resolution being a sweet spot, in my opinion it's almost the worst resolution imaginable for this size. The pixels are just slightly too small to the point where it becomes annoying and uncomfortable (for most people) to use it at 100% scaling, 200% scaling is out of the question as everything would be massive and you'd only get some 720p equivalent worth of real estate, and fractional scaling is generally subpar and not worth using in many cases. I think both 4k and 1080p are better options for a 15-16" screen.

There is a reason for that: Windows offers super-stable APIs that allow WinUAE to be supremely good at fidelity and accuracy. When it comes to graphics and audio, the Linux experience is pretty much a disaster across the board if one moves away from a tightly controlled environment.

If you want proof, look at the best Unix port of WinUAE (FS-UAE). It works, but compared to the original, the experience is so bad in many different ways (graphical glitches, crashes, audio stuttering, latency, bugs and more bugs) that you're better off running WinUAE through Wine.

I'm a hardcore Amiga user and enthusiast, and own multiple original units in working condition. Regarding preservation, I feel so much better knowing that WinUAE runs on Windows. Linux is simply not a stable/quality graphical platform and with the Wayland/X.org fiasco taken into account, should inspire even less confidence for the future.

> Sounds like mostly hackarounds for non-keyboard-friendly software. I generally prefer to use keyboard-friendly software (of which there is no shortage on linux) and just make application-specific keybindings directly in each application.

No way, that's an almost non-existing class of apps. Which "keyboard-friendly software" supports the differentiation between tap and hold? Hold delays? Simultaneous keypresses? Arbitrary alpha key modifiers (hold T for Toolbar and tap 1,2,3 select different types of brushes in your image app)? Support for custom notifications? Knows left from right? Supports chords, not just combos, including single-key shortcuts? Basically, every app would need to add karabiner/katana as a library and slap app-specific contexts on top of that. Which apps do that???

> Anything else is inevitably a hack.

It's also the only way to make something great. There is no "native" OS/app development platform that matches that power, so it's very rare for an app to implement anything advanced on its own

> for other apps that have non-customizable key shortcuts

But it's not a binary, even apps that offer customizable key shortcuts, mostly offer underpowered versions nowhere close to what a keyboard remapper can offer.

> When I used to use libreoffice regularly, I set up modal keybindings that sent the corresponding chords to libreoffice.

But presumably you wouldn't want to send those shortcuts outside of Libreoffice, right? So you key remapper has to be app-aware

> sketchyvim on mac to essentially use vim in any input field.

This is great and I wish all OS had this basic functionality of allowing users to use their advanced text editing tools anywhere (there is also a more limited browser-only, but cross-platform extension GhostText)

> I don't think there's a linux equivalent that lets you essentially embed an editor like vim inside any input field, but you can use a generic keybinding to open one and then have the text sent back when you're done.

Sure, also you can always copy&paste, but that's friction, so not very suitable for smaller edits. Though maybe you can set a keybind that would instantly open a specially configured editor with a very small window size (basically, the size of a text field) without any extra visual stuff like gutter etc.?

> A lot of the examples you list don't seem to need any app-specific or context-aware functionality (e.g. your launcher example)

All of them do, e.g., app launcher requires the contexts of the app state. If the app is in the foreground, it will hide it, if it's in the background, it'll show it, if the app isn't not launched, it'll launch it.

> hawck which is scriptable in lua

thanks for tip, Autohotkey which it aims to replace is great (and lua is better, though also not a great scripting language), so this would be something like Hammerspoon on a Mac.

It'll be predictable. Other aperiodic tilings (e.g. Penrose tiles) look to have regular patterns from a quick glance, but those patterns won't have translational symmetry despite looking vaguely symmetrical.

I'm extremely pro-union, but this decision makes sense to me.

If you're a developer going on strike, you don't get to turn off the production database before you leave the building.

Now obviously there's always going to be a gray area between sabotage/destruction and not showing up for regular work duties. Continuing the developer analogy, if you know the production database is going to run out of disk space in 4 days, that's not your problem.

But halting work mid-shift with concrete that will dry out and could damage the trucks is extremely irresponsible and totally unnecessary in the context of labor negotiation. I can't see any legitimate reason why it's necessary to leave your job mid-shift in a labor dispute if that will result in damage. The union should either have called for the strike to begin before the shift or allowed workers to finish their shift.

There's no reason for property damage to be part of labor negotiations.

I have tiny recollection of this this but thanks to your comment I became acquainted with it again.

Thanks!
By now we have seen many times how platforms have turned their back on developers. Twitter, even in the past gave good reason to not do build solely on that platform. At the end, it's their platform and they can choose how they want to run it and developers have no say in that decision.
That is very good to hear!
I wonder if the API change was more about third-party clients than slowing LLM progress. That horse has already left the barn, and when you have important partners, you reach out before the public announcement about the API and give them a deal well below the rate card, if not free. Or maybe internal teams weren't aligned on this, and the partner/BD team was caught off-guard.

They’re not functionally equivalent for one reason: `panic` unwinding. Rust can catch panics, and if you catch a panic while calling the latter, you will effectively drop `T`.

Otherwise, if you have a temporary value (e.g. `Default`), you can convert the former to the latter via `std::mem::replace` or `std::mem::take` (which replaces with default)

fn f1(x: &mut T) {
let y = std::mem::take(x);
*x = f2(y);
}

and you can always convert the latter to the former

fn f2(mut x: T) -> T {
f1(&mut x);
return x;
}

It’s not about being cheap, it’s about not wanting a company to own your workflow and not wanting to limit your knowledge and skill to a proprietary product.
Also, why remove it even if requested? If you knowingly sit down for an interview, I don’t believe you have any power, legally speaking, to force that.

> Is this not possible in the US? Or is this a case of increasing one-uppance as the relationship between companies and employees is _that bad_?

The latter. America is a low trust, high conflict society. You can argue about “who shot first” but labor relations in America has often escalated to violence by both sides.

It took me 8 years to get my BS degree. I would say that when I started I just didn't have the discipline to buckle down and do the work. My personality tends contrarian, so there is something about our Victorian education system that has always made me bristle. It took me until age 22 to develop the maturity to properly apply myself. The turning point for me was actually wanting to learn versus just going through the motions to get the credential. I recognize that's a privileged position, but it is what it is.

I can't help but notice you mention three times what you've "been told". Your frustration with the gatekeepers is palpable, but remember the world is a big place and college administrators are not notable for their broader influence; don't let them get in your head! What I'll say is this:
a lot of things in life come down to intrinsic motivation. Why is it that you are in college? If your goal is to become a professional programmer than go write code and build stuff, get your foot in the door somewhere, and show what you can do.

Would Large Language Models Be Better If They Weren’t So Large?
Because there are pros and cons for each type of packaging but native distro packages and Flatpak will go-exist. It does already on my machine.

Distribution packages:

+ necessary for base system
+ small memory requirement
+ small package size
+ all checked by distro
+ work well together
+ on fix, fixes it for all
o lot of work for maintainers downstream
- bugs hard to figure out for upstream
- problematic with closed-source

Flatpak:

+ programmer packages is/her software once and only once
+ support all distributions i.e. Linux
+ use selected dependencies
+ control-groups and namespace are in place for lock-in
+ autonomous offline package handling e.g. “storeable on thumbdrive”
- huge maintenance burden, especially security, on programmer
- higher memory usage
- big package size

Usually if I see something entirely new (e.g. Marker some years ago) or something using Qt-Libraries (e.g. Zeal) instead of my native Gtk based environment, it is a candidate for Flatpak. Marker is now in native repos of Arch, therefore is use it now from there. While I kept OpenRA as Flatpak because I need usually the on provided by upstream.

I think Flatpak is ideal for new stuff and especially closes-source software. Programmers cannot do the repeated error of supporting some special outdated distributions. It is a miracle to me how anyone can think that packing for a specific distro is their job? It is not. The job is documenting how to package the software and allow redistribution. With Flatpak we allow them to do package themself if desired but just once and for all.

A weak point of Flatpak is that facepalm Canonical is doing it very own show with Snap. How often does Canonical need to fail with Mir, Unity, Upstart and now Snap? The server is closed-source and it is against the community. Even if it would be better it is dead. And no, we don’t need two competing…please just commit fixes to GNOME e.g. type-ahead-find?

And I don’t want to hype Flatpak:
GNOME-Software could use less memory itself, we need an easy approach for payment (and repeated payment?) and it stores many small file on disk. And I wonder which security requirements the Flathub requires?

When you have the best AI in town I don't think it matters. For instance, you have people using Bing and MSIE now.
The first two items there contradict each other. What’s an employer to do? This list of problems only reflects the point of view of a relatively inexperienced candidate who doesn’t like interviews, it’s not a list of problems that companies have, or that people with strong skills and experience have.

It’s an assumption to expect interviews need to reflect the work on the job or match daily tasks. Interviews are the employer trying to select the best candidate for an uncertain future, not mimic the drudgery of a day in the life at work. If I’m interviewing, I don’t want to know if you can code a specific task today, I want to know how well you can adapt to changing roles, whether you’re more extroverted lead material, or introverted and wicked smart or prolific, whether you’re ambitious or happy laying low. I’m much more interested in broad potential more than ability to perform technical tasks.

Isn’t the last item on your list a good reason to do some due diligence by checking whether people can code in practice before going through the expensive process of hiring them and having them fail and then having to try again with someone else? I haven’t seen a lot of outright lying on resumes, but I’ve seen a ton of overconfidence in one’s relative skill, I’ve seen people who are great on paper but duds in practice, but more than those I’ve see a lot of people who don’t communicate well, don’t get along well on a team, have bad attitudes, cover up mistakes instead of learning or admitting skill gaps, etc.

I don’t know what it means to claim most jobs don’t require proving skills. Most jobs are entry-level minimum-wage jobs. Anyone in the arts is used to constantly proving their skills via auditions, critiques, performances, etc. Doctors have it way worse with low paid grueling residency. We’re talking about high paid programmers where hiring the wrong person is an expensive mistake and can damage team productivity.

In the last century, machines replaced craftsmen by doing machine-like work (a handmade nightstand vs an industrial nightstand). Now they will also replace the remaining craftsmen, or the last jobs that only a craftsman could do (just look at the example of icons in the suggested style).

But it doesn't matter, soon they will stop doing what we prefer, I guess...

It is the text generation speed that got me suspicious. It seems like ChatGPT's GPT4 suddenly got 2-3 times faster at generating text, while the API GPT4 still generates the text at the same pace as it always has.
That’s part of what I find hard to believe. I would have figured Sam would be aware of the strategic messaging goals not only of OpenAI but also of MS, their biggest investor.
From personal experience I can say that this attitude is a good full-employment plan for software patent attorneys.
Maybe those comments are no longer true?

Quite a few developers said they were nervous about building with the OpenAI APIs when OpenAI might end up releasing products that are competitive to them. Sam said that OpenAI would not release more products beyond ChatGPT.
