> the rising difficulty many young people have finding a partner who meets all of their requirements—emotional, physical, financial, and political

Admittedly, I do many things wrong. But this is one I've done well and could be helpful for those struggling with the above ("meets ALL of their criteria")

My wife and I are far apart politically... and our marriage is something I (and I think, we) cherish.

When dating I struggled with finding someone who met ALL my criteria. In the course of it someone taught me to sit down and select your three (and ONLY three) "must-have" criteria. All other things are then negotiable.

For me, I wanted someone who was smart, who shared my religious beliefs, and who was supportive of my entrepreneurial plans/journey.

(Side note, I cheated and said I also wanted to be physically attracted to them.)

Fast forward to me meeting my wife. There are a good deal of things we disagree on — politics being towards the top. Had I let that get in the way and looked for a laundry list of must-haves I would never have married her, would never have had our two incredible children , and might possibly either still be looking or have given up on my criteria and settled.

This trick (pick 3 "non negotiables", let the rest be negotiable) served me extremely well in finding a dog after meeting ~100 (before having criteria), in my wedding (open bar, all my friends can come, no shoehorning of food by the venue), and a few other cases.

I can only speculate on why it works so well. It likely works because it forced me to really list what was crucial and to be more flexible on things I'd otherwise list as crucial.

Either way, if this helps one person to simplify, focus, and be flexible enough to find a mate theme it was worth it. Hope it helps you.

And happy Father's Day to all you other fathers out there.
Yes and no. The other side of the argument is that a tarball offers a point in time snapshot of the code that is smaller, and easier to download since there's no need to interact with a complex internet service. Also easier to cache, mirror and back up a single file - major distros appreciate this because we have to mirror sources into build systems and provide sources on demand to satisfy the GPL. There are of course disadvantages to the tarball approach (like, no history, harder to patch) but sometimes the simpler technology can be more robust.
Most browsers have a version of this built in, and there are extensions (mine is BeeLine Reader) that have a Readability function included as well.
Absolutely. Still most people don’t have them. And do they just-work in a browser?

> “No designer is given promotion for sticking to conventional designs. It's their creative & clever designs that get them attention and career incentives.”

This is a massive change from my first software industry job in 1997.

I was essentially a “design intern who knows HTML” on a team that built a shrinkwrap Windows application for enterprises. The core of the design team was a graphic designer, a cognitive scientist, an industrial designer, and a product manager with industry experience in the customer domain.

The application was Windows native. User research was conducted on site with scientific rigor. Adhering to platform guidelines and conventions was a priority. I think I spent a few weeks redrawing hundreds of toolbar icons so they’d be in line with the Office 97 look (the kind of boring job you give to the junior). If the app stood out on the Windows desktop, that would have been considered problematic.

Today a similar design team would only have a graphic designer and a PM, and neither of them would care the slightest about platform guidelines or customer domain. The UI is primarily an extension of the corporate brand. Hiring a cognitive scientist? Forget about it…

Everything certainly wasn’t perfect in the Windows/Mac desktop golden era. But the rise of the web wiped out a lot of good industry practices too.
i really like adopting new hobbies to explore unfamiliar areas of life and science. be it mushroom cultivation, brewing beer, doing stuff on my car, bike repair. but clandestine chemistry and synthesizing lsd is my ultimate basement model railroad layout ... so far my pinnacle of chemical experiences are some rather simple extractions - it's great fun to take somethings and turn them into something else. but i'd have to dabble for years in organic chemistry to even understand what it takes to make lsd. but that would be so amazing.
The truth is because of the history OP points to Democrats have likely never had the votes for federal abortion legislation. Nor did they need it because it was a constitutional right. The last true democratic trifecta was in the army Obama years where there were still plenty of “blue dog” and pro-life democrats. There were many more democrats like Biden who were personally pro life, due to his catholic background, but content with it as a constitutional right. The Hyde amendment which prohibits Medicare funds for abortions is ample evidence of this artifact of older political lines.

This leaves the 2020-22 congress to shore up abortion rights. However those congresses had the narrowest of majorities and much larger fish to fry (pandemic recovery and inflation, etc etc).

It’s only been a strong and unifying rallying by cry for the party since the post roe era and even that wasn’t obvious until after the 2022 mid terms.

I actually had a really bad time with this game. The game was an absolute stutterfest. I have a Core i9/2080ti, so this is inexcusable. It’s typical to see this in multiplayer Unity games.

Aesthetically it also turned me off. The menu mimics the BF4/5 UIs, which worked great for that collection of games, but this game is super low poly, so the UI does not match at all. Additionally vast stretches of buildings are just empty and colorless. And the sound is truly awful all around.

This game is awful… not sure why all of the praise.
> ones that basically tell their staff they can’t drink water I would have to believe quickly will find no one will want to work for

I've never done something as difficult as construction, but I was a cashier, sanding still on concrete all day for 8 hours, no fun. I don't think anyone wanted to do that, but there they were doing it anyway. And there they still are every time I go to the store, no stool to sit on, standing still on concrete.

Your belief seems to be that if people don't want to do a thing, they wont, but that doesn't seem to be true when I look around.
That's obviously gonna cause false positives. Physical exhertion causes the heart to respond to the greater demand for oxygen. I used to see patients in a clinic that had an elevator and stairs. Dealt with that every day.
I would go wherever my employer chose to migrate. And I would adapt. Or else I wouldn't have a job.
It could also be just one extra entity (maybe a "null" player for things like environmental damage?) and needing to keep teams even.
I don’t think it’s as easy as you’re making it to seem. The issue is that there are unintended consequences to each one of those points you mentioned. I’m pretty sure a substantial amount of thinking goes into software design from all aspects and it’s a bit reductive to say that it’s just lack of incentive. Humans doing software are not some machine learning algorithm to train with reinforcement learning techniques.
It's not like they are going to be able to cover up a bunch of deaths or severe injuries.

(Not an endorsement, it looks like investor story time to me, just that they still have a pretty solid incentive to not kill people)

Was the same for me in TL back in 2013. 3 homeless in the street next to a jerrycan in fire and a random cart on the road. I thought this type of stuff were just in movies to make stuff dramatic or maybe in Detroit but not there. I went from Powell to this and I was stunned for a few seconds. I knew about this street and that it was to be avoided but didn’t know where it was. Certainly I didn’t except it to be so close from city center. But that was part of the charm of SF.

Now it’s a mess though. It is not charming anymore at the level it is right now. I went back around Covid and it was crazy surreal.

If you took two computers and ran the same program and observed the same values in the same registers on both machines would you say that the machines are connected and experiencing synchronicity or just responding similarly to the same inputs?
I think the most important function of a good Product Management team is to understand what parts of the go-to-market impact tech decisions and spend 80% of their energy into pinning those down as firmly as possible. There is a happy medium between JIT delivery of specs for random features and a hard two-year roadmap that can't react to business changes.

YNGNA is generally true, but Product's should have a very clear vision of what kinds of entities the system is going to handle over then next 36 months before they start asking for specific functionality. I've seen extra shit get built, but I've also seen e.g. a travel booking system that was built without a "flight" being a first class entity. Flights were deduced on the front end from attributes attached to seats... which worked well until a PM asked for the UI to show fully-booked flights, which HAVE no available seats that make it to the front end. Same product couldn't handle the booker and traveler being different people, when they knew from day 1 that it would be a necessary feature. It would have been little extra work to incorporate into the data model from the beginning, even if the two values were always the same for a while.

I think the majority of the technical debt I've seen that isn't ci/cd related is disconnect between the domain model the product team is working in and the data model the engineering team is working with. Formalizing that domain model is now one of the first things I do when joining a team, so everyone agrees on precisely what the major nouns and verbs are and how they interact. Not just for the current system, for where we think we will be in 2-3 years. With everyone doing agile, it's amazing how many incompatible, un-written assumptions you discover that hadn't been ironed out.

I got to similar conclusions and I think I figured out why:

The ticketing software is not made to make developer life easier. It is designed to keep the rest of the company involved in the process and it's there to show the manager whatever semi-meaningless metric they want to track this week.

I don't care about the exact type of the issue, or the arbitrary priority of it. "This is security bug that needs to be fixed now" and "this goes next release" is about as much granularity as I need. What's even the difference between "trivial" "low" and "minor" ?

I do care about dependencies but in a "unless X is done don't even show Y in my list" way.

I do not care about tracking time at all

I do not care about assigning a ticket to a "component", I put the ticket number in commit anyway, obviously that already shows which component code I needed to change to fix it

Obviously many of those are useful (or are imagined to be useful) to other roles in project but as developer I just want to see the reported bugs/features and write the code for it.
Today one doesn’t even need to even intend to do something to be accused of such things [1].

> Following the pattern of the so-called Tarnac affair, their arrest was accompanied by timely leaks in the media, and even political manipulations condemning the "far-left". And this, on the grounds that they were "suspected of planning violent actions targeting police officers, without a specific plan of action being identified," as reported by Le Monde nonetheless.

Yeah, it says "LIFT doesn't sell aircraft, we're the first company in the world to offer electric multi-rotor flying as an experience". Their marketing is also to investors and they might sell aircraft in the future but right now it's just short supervised (ground station) flights.
Well I might have worded it a bit flippantly. I didn't mean to flabbergast anyone!

But I don't think what I'm saying is that far from what's commonly accepted. Mutually assured destruction is the widely accepted doctrine. What I'm saying is I think it's mutually assured near destruction with a bias in favor of the US. I think this because of a combination of (a) how much each country can lose and still exist as a country; (b) how well their defenses will likely work (c) how many other nuclear countries will take their side etc.

That is just my very unscientific impression.

By "everyone knows it" what I really mean is it's hard for me to imagine how any other world leader could think that they are going to be the last one standing. Absent a massive shift in the balance of military spending, technology and many other things, the US remains the clear safe bet imo.

That's my in-laws. They vote Republican and call themselves conservative because that's how they were raised but you would never know because they're pro-choice, proud lgbt allies due to having a gay daughter and a trans nephew-in-law (name?), supporter of black lives matter, have found family, own an electric car…

I know more Republicans who vote for them despite their social issues than do. Trying to predict anyone's views based on the D/R is a gamble at best.
Nah, the work and pace of progress in the open source community is mind blowing. There’s a lot of brain power going into getting models running on consumer hardware. Imho, this reminds me a lot of when people thought personal computers were just toys, and you needed a huge IBM machine if you wanted to do “real computing”.
It's also worth noting that "microcode" in a modern x86 CPU is not really the same thing as "microcode" in an older, "microcoded" CPU. What do I mean by this?

Some older CPUs were truly "microcoded." The heart of the CPU was an interpreter loop which took instructions, then invoked a ROM / microcode routine corresponding to the implementation for that instruction. Each instruction began with the runtime selecting an instruction and ended with the microcode routine returning to a loop. A good example of this is the 8086: http://www.righto.com/2022/11/how-8086-processors-microcode-... . These CPUs worked like a traditional "emulator."

That is NOT how a modern x86 CPU works. A modern CPU works a lot more like a JIT. In a modern x86 CPU, "microcode" runs _alongside_ the main CPU core execution. The microcode runtime can be thought of as a co-processor of sorts: some complex instructions or instructions with errata are redirected into the microcode co-processor, and it's responsible for breaking those instructions down and emitting their lower-level uOps back into the execution scheduler. However, most instructions never touch microcode at all: they are decoded purely in hardware and issued into the scheduler directly.

This is important because when people start talking about the x86 "microcode layer," they quickly get confused between the "microcode" (which is running _alongside_ the processor) and uOps, which are the lower level instructions issued into the processor's execution scheduler.
In that case it would be just as easy to have the OSS app be used directly by the closed source app instead of spinning up another service. It could be a library, a plugin, or even just a separate app that your internal app shells out to. Basically, a separate OSS release really shouldn't be a consideration for deciding to run it as a separate service or not. Though it is an excellent reason for a separate repo.
I call this "the tragedy of software development"
Is JS/Express/Apollo still the goto graphQL server implementation or C#(HotChocolate), Java, go etc are widely used too?
On the client side(for mobile), AFAIK iOS(Swift) and Android(Kotlin) does not support GraphQL natively? are there 3rd party libraries that can be used?

Edit: Added Apollo
I wonder how many hidden n+1 problems there are. Reading the blog post, it looks like they mostly only tested existing pathways as part of the migration. Who knows what random requests could do.
A decade ago 8-15 minutes on an electric aircraft like this would be impossible. A decade from now we’ll be to an hour, which I’m sure would cover 99% of cases unless you really want to be droning state to state haha
This has been known for several years. Especially zero and few-shot task performance scales extremely well with number of parameters. But more recently it was shown that you can actually trade parameters with training data volume and training time as well once you go into the billions of parameters. So while it takes more time to train, you can habe an equally powerful model with much fewer parameters and thus faster inference times.

Yes. While it’s less common, I’ve seen orgs struggle because they didn’t have enough imagination.

Every feature is done quick’n’dirty and eventually you have people whose full time job is to respond to customer complaints and fix data straight in the production database.
I migrated from Google Workspace to Fastmail last year, I've been super happy with it.

I also tried Outlook and Zoho. I prefer Fastmail over those two, because it's really simple (may be a con for some) and has a very snappy UI.
Make the theft of the bike unpalatable without increasing the amount of policing in NA please. Reduce the benefit they get from stealing a bike. Whether it just not having to look as long for a rental bike or reducing the cost of bike use in general so there is less profit incentive to steal a bike.

We could also reduce the pain felt by the person stolen from with the same actions. I would be less inconvenienced by my bike being stolen if their is a free bike I could use for these situations, or maybe free public transportation.

I would still be inconvenienced but I wouldn't be stuck in my rural home 30 miles away from my jobs because I live in a car-centric landscape.

Just my N=1 here, but I've actually run the self-improvement gamut and got results out of it - had a year where I went from never having held hands with a girl to sleeping around quite a bit. I think the self-improvement type of vibe tends to attract girls who are more into short term things, which leads to burnout. By this I mean, if you are a guy who looks very good/masculine, are good at flirting, etc but just are not the type of guy that a girl would want to bring home or show to friends due to some immediately-visible perceived deficiency (like race, height, etc.), you become typecast as the "experiment" (i.e. an easily-accessible alternative to what they normally go for, a one-time thing), the "rebound guy" to get over an ex, or part of a girl's "exploratory phase", etc. - you aren't a priority for her and she cares less about you than the already-little amount you might care about her.

After getting burned a few times I realized that what I "wanted" was to sleep with a lot of girls, but what I "actually wanted" was to sleep with a lot of girls who want me more than I want them (i.e. an egotistical drive) - emphasis on the "want me more than I want them" part. It's an important distinction, and the fantasy is to be the guy who all the "good girls" (i.e. the relationship-oriented girls who don't easily fall for guys) fall deeply in love with and would do anything for but can't pin down, and this narrative is pursued as a goal because it provides a sense of security ("there will always be people who love me"). In reality you just attract many girls who might not even want a relationship, and that fantasy sense of security will cease to exist. Even if you do find the fabled "good girl" or if one of the short-term minded girls falls for you, you will be conditioned to be skeptical and doubtful of their long-term relationship capacity because of your experiences with the other girls, thus erasing any of the sense of security that you initially sought.

Also, in the end it seemed that the "want me more than I want them" thing was actually more important than sleeping with the girls. So when I found out that the girls I was sleeping with wanted me in a relationship capacity less than the admittedly close-to-zero amount I wanted them, it was really demoralizing, as I'd inevitably end up with this weird shitty feeling of being "just another guy" a girl slept with and it did not feel good at all. Then I realized that my behaviors probably also led girls to feel hurt in this way, and the whole exercise between the genders is kind of futile overall and people are hurting each other over something as trivial as ego and a misguided search for security.

Now I just kind of maintain the self-improvements from before, as they've added great value to my life, but I don't actively seek out dating, going to clubs, etc. I figure that if something pointing to a relationship comes about organically I will definitely be fully open to it, but it is not as much of a priority at the moment.
Absolutely love this. OpenAI can go f-off with their fair-use for training but no fair-use in using their outputs however users want, or with their globe trotting regulations cry. Like what exactly does any startup in India have to do for getting to talk to the PM at such short notice lol.
This is really inspiring, thanks for sharing. I should do likewise. I wound up dropping out of school (had kids too early, don't ask), which was... not a good decision. I do work as a developer but I need more domain knowledge in mathematics. Never too late to start, I guess.
It's not a community per se but there's a lot of research and discussion going on directly in the llama.cpp repo (https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) if you're interested in the more technical side of things.
The most interesting thing to me about this is that apparently they offer an HTTP API for their VPN service. But I haven't been able to find any documentation for it.

Are there any VPN providers that offer an OAuth2 API that would let you set up VPN tunnels on behalf of users?
New user, why is it stupid though?
My decades of working in very capitalistic companies has taught me two things:

1. Emotions are bigger factor than logic when it comes to business decisions.

2. We often assume wrong on what a “rational” economic choice should be. We believe it would be constructive, but economically beneficial choice for an individual often does not align with the constructive choice.
