If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. If you want to pass an IT audit, good fucking luck to you.

I have about 20 years of experience dealing with this ranging from mostly harmonious all the way to civil war.

100 employees and 130 different SaaS tools. Got buy in from senior management to reduce footprint to lower cost and increase security and compliance only to get pushback from every middle manager that would bring up these same reasons why THEIR team is special.

Ok Mr/Mrs Team lead… be careful what you wish for because TCO and full RP status is now on your head. And I know you don’t have the experience to assess the costs, risks and admin workload but you’ve managed to convince the CEO. Not my problem anymore. I’ll let the auditors know where to find you when it comes time.

At least I was smart enough to know to keep Miro, though. They’re reasonably good at managing data over the course of staff churn and the flexible licensing is nice.

Try convincing everyone that grammarly is a keystroke logger.

One might disagree about “it works”.
I don’t like being confronted to buy something before even know what it is. The website is way too vague at getting to the point. I don’t have all day. I get the immediate impression it’s not much different than something jira confluence can do. There is absolutely zero wow factor on this website and nothing that convinces me that this thing is special.
Ah, I misinterpreted your previous comment!
It seems odd that a post on the official company blog is showcasing disliked IT policy. This reads like an airing of dirty laundry, and I’m kinda surprised it was allowed to be published. I understand the “we have food at home” IT policy of using software you’re already paying for. On the other hand, it’s clear that the author isn’t sure who made the call to ditch Miro and wants Miro reinstated. I wonder if this blog post will convince people internally.

I’m also in my early forties and got a driver’s license not very long ago.

It seems to me that people who started driving as teenagers have a fundamentally different relationship to the activity. They presumably went through a phase where the license was a manifest symbol of adult freedom and they had fun experimenting with the car. With that fundamental mindset, you can probably enjoy just driving around.

Whereas myself, I don’t find any pleasure in driving. It’s just a necessary chore to get somewhere out of reach by train. It requires a constant level of attention that I’m not used to, and I’m always too conscious of the potential of catastrophic consequences beyond my own control if anyone in traffic makes a mistake or happens to be feeling suicidal. There’s no joy at this age in wrangling these big machines.
As an outsider it doesn't sound like something a few people could spin off in a branch in a couple months and see how code review goes. They're talking about doing it over multiple (yearly?) releases. It seems like it'll take a lot of expert attention, which won't be available for other work and the changes themselves will impact all other ongoing work.

I'm not trying to naysay it per se, bc again I don't have technical knowledge of this codebase. But that's exactly the sort of scenario that can cause a large project to splinter or stall for years. Talking about "the implementation" absent the context that would be necessary to create that implementation seems naively optimistic, or at worst irresponsible.
I've just tried it, and for me it displays the entire litany (afaict):

Certainly, the Litany Against Fear is a well-known mantra in Frank Herbert's Dune series. It goes as follows:

"I must not fear.
Fear

is the mind-killer.
Fear

is the little-death that brings

total obliteration.
I will

face my fear.
I will permit

it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Introducing Python syntax for this reason alone is way over-engineering your script.

Yeah, if you're doing something that requires better data structures[1] then don't use the shell, but switching to Python just to call existing programs makes things more complicated, not less.

Come now, this is complete anecdotal nonsense.

Unity had unreal are both excellent million $$ packages you can use for free(ish) that come with integrated editors and asset pipelines, massive plugin/package ecosystems and even one click playable templates.

What more do you want?

It takes too long to open the editor? Cry me a river! What do you want, a lean editor / hit code reloading / functional code only / truely free? Look at bevy or Godot.

I mean come on, this is the golden age of indie development for games, where literally anyone can make a game in like a days effort following a YouTube tutorial.

> a segment of their website? It's not yours. It never was.

That's really not been the ethos advertised to moderators until now; it was more that unless you caused site instability (legal or otherwise) it was yours to run as you please.

You may be speaking a literal truth, but the emotive background is relevant here.
I'm not sure I follow the argument. Use fakes instead of mocks, but if you change the dep1 to have a method add instead of addone, you still need to update the fake. The effect is the same as if you needed to update the mock setup. About the only benefit I can see, is if the fake is used in multiple tests and you only need to update it once.
I managed to move into one pretty quickly after learning it and adding it to things like LinkedIn as a preferred language. There are companies out there but the pool is smaller for sure. The upside is a lot of companies using it will happily hire remote because that's the only way to get a reasonable sized candidate pool.
Show HN: Smolex – A code retrieval ChatGPT Plugin for Python
The problem: We're chatting with ChatGPT about our code, right? And we've got to manually piece together a context to feed the AI, especially when that token limit comes into play. ;)

Here's where Smolex jumps in. It allows ChatGPT to pull up context directly from your codebase (it's a plugin that just runs on localhost), making our back-and-forths about code more like a conversation and less like a chore.

I find it's a real lifesaver when writing new tests based on old ones. Smolex can provide ChatGPT with the existing tests for context.

Heads up, though, this tool's super experimental - basically, it's been cooked up to scratch my own itch.

NHK only broadcast 8K in one of their channel. And AFAIK all 8K TV are premium segment.

EU has new energy efficiency requirement which basically means 8K in EU market wont happen unless there are substantial improvement in technology. 8K has more exposure in Japan mainly because they were the first proponent of the technology.

I much rather we settle on 6K and HDR10, and leaves room for 60Hz or 120Hz for different types of video which requires those framerate.
What drivel. Such a non-answer.
Sometimes the mandate is not just to save money, sometimes it’s about putting the business in a compliance posture that will enable you to land revenue from large enterprise customers who have security and data requirements.

I don’t understand. Would it be sensible to require people using Figma to instead use Jira? Two tools with completely orthogonal use cases. It sounds like you’re describing a different problem.
It would seem that I'm in desperate need of a rewatch of the Star Trek movies, it has been more than a few years, my father would be ashamed.
As mentioned in the sidebar, this tool is inspired by https://shadows.brumm.af/

I've used it a lot, but it always lacked a few features I would've used extensively, such as shareable links, copying to Figma with a button click, ability to change the background color, and a library of ready-made shadows. Also, I think the terminology is perhaps a bit clearer for someone who hasn't looked deeply into how this layering technique works.
Interesting how you advice is to not to emulate classic games while the author came to the opposite conclusion:

>Chasing novelty for the sake of novelty is silly. Gameplay mechanics often don't work out the way you plan in your mind. I find that bottom-up design is much more effective.

But I guess that's the thing about game design. There is no one true blue answer, and it ultimately comes down to how you approach problems in general. I'm guessing some are just really good at deeply analyzing a game and polishing up their own variation of that game, while others are better off learning concepts and then drawing their own experiences together rather than following a tight template.

(Note: this ofc can vary even in the same person, from genre to genre. I'm sure some fighting game experts can design their own fighting game down to the number of frames per attack per character. but also can't figure out a basic game loop for an FPS.)
There are also a plethora of Middle-earth communities, and they have very different feels. /r/tolkienfans is not at all the same as /r/silmarillionmemes.
>This magic button does in one request what would take dozens or hundreds of commands without the magic button.

It very rarely does. And the more specific the request, the more work you have to do to get, at best, close to what you want. You may need to train your own model or blend models and mess with ControlNet. And then you have to do more work to fix stuff like fingers and eyes. In order to really use AI to its full potential (which still isn't, IMO, fully up to the capabilities of the software or artists it's intended to replace) you have to understand how it works, how the various filters work, how models work, etc.

Once you learn most of the really good AI generated art you find online is still heavily edited in Photoshop by actual artists you realize it's anything but magic.
I am disappointed in the field of cryptography. I feel like everyone settles for crypto that is 'just strong enough', and it turns out to be broken a decade later.

I would like to be able to put openssl into "100 year crypto" mode, which means it refuses to encrypt/decrypt/hash anything with any algorithm that doesn't have general consensus among experts that it is unlikely to be broken in 100 years.

We keep using algorithms like SHA1/MD5/SHA256 that merely mix bits with no theoretical basis, and just hope nobody figures out how to unmix them. Yet historically people usually do!

Scotland feels positively crowded in the tourist season. There aren't many roads but each of them is the only way in or out of a settlement without a massive detour. Especially if you're anywhere near the "North Coast 500".

I think my greatest empty road experience was, oddly, on the A1; it was shortly after dawn, and for a brief period there were four empty lanes ahead of and behind me. The experience of being the only person in a space designed to be crowded.
Escaping unstable living situations by repeatedly grinding through improbable moonshots, requires you to have the emotional and financial stability necessary to repeatedly expend effort and money on attempts that fail to pay off. This can be achieved through self-worth produced by a supportive and non-traumatic upbringing, a financial safety net, finding ways to make daily life more worthwhile and recharging, and/or loved ones acting as an emotional support network. For people without this, attempting stressful tasks will only destabilize your living situation and result in burnout and suffering.
Personally, I don't mind if a tool is rubbish as long as I can use the bits I need to use and the rest doesn't get in my way. I don't like Teams but mostly keep to chat and video calls and that works fine.

Sure, there is other stuff that might be junk like files, tasks and apps but I just don't use that.

That is the old adage about keeping the main thing the main thing. It depresses me how many major apps doesn't even do the basics well, either performance is terrible or the UX is over-complicated.
No mention of K*w*f*r*s of course, even though they already had a thread dedicated to exposing these zoosadists for a long time. But it's good that mainstream news is finally reporting on this.

You can already pin to a set of cores instead of a single one. But anyway, my point is that currently userspace interacts directly with CPU features without intermediation from the kernel. So intel would have to think about how to coordinate with userspace too, not just rely on the kernel to patch things up (or not).
On the other hand, as a kid I found it very annoying and as an adult I still find them annoying. I always wake up from them groggy and in a complete panic, feeling like I've overslept an entire day and am late for something. Totally not worth it, give me a full night's sleep over that any day.

All Spanish language spoken in all countries is subject to the rules of the Royal Academy of Spanish[1] and the Association of the Academies of Spanish Language[2]. Both institutions work together in keeping an up-to-date dictionary with terms from speakers of all parts of the world.

To counter-point your claims, there are a myriad of dialects of Spanish inside Spain. Some of them even are similar to the ones used in Hispanic-America.

I'm not talking about the other languages of Spain: Aragonese, Asturian, Basque, Catalan, Galician, Valencian, Extremaduran, etc. I'm only talking about the language that is official in all Spain, Spanish (and its dialects).

One day, a large company will be bold enough to exit the EU and reset the power balance.

To me, it seems like the EU has created so many regulations that their startups/tech companies can't compete with the US tech companies. So rather than remove regulations blocking innovation and investment, they want to regulate US companies to even the playing field.
Nice!

Last year, i did a very similar thing..

Recently, I found this [1] library by Tiangolo (the same guy who developed Fastapi) which addresses exactly the biggest problem i had w that setup.. That is, the code duplication between the Pydantic and Sqlalchemy schemas

Just FYI!

From an expert's standpoint, it's still quite unusable and complex.
The way laws and contracts work normally is a separate contract would override the minimum allowed by law, but can not go below legal requirements

So for example, if the law says I must get 2mos of pay but I have a contract that says I get 3mos of pay then the contract wins, however if I have a contract that says 1mo of pay but the law says 2 mos then the law wins..

Unless clearly spelled out in the contract that the severance was to be 3mos "on top of any legally required " then it would not be an addition problem it would be a substitution, the contract for the law

An Employee terminated Jan 1 under the law would have to paid to March 1, under the contract it would be April 1, in no circumstance would it be June 1... Which is what TechDirt is trying to claim

Note that is not what I have seen the lawyers claim, the lawyers are claiming Twitter did not pay the 3mos, did not vest the RSU's and did not contribute to healthcare as required under the contract.
There’s obviously a limit to how small you can make something. I don’t really see how you could make things much smaller.
I think it's often a case of better the devil you know...

Imagine adding a new app. Can you just delete the existing? Not necessarily, maybe some people need to use that so now you are supporting 2 apps. Maybe there is a lot of legal work to check the status of a new app. Maybe the new tool seems great but maybe once you have committed to it and taken a large amount of time and money migrating, maybe it doesn't scale well. Maybe a certain feature doesn't work like it needs to.

The problem with the idea of the collective is that not all people have skin in the game. It costs nothing for someone to say they prefer something to something else but how do you make sure that the people who use it the most have more say in the choice?

The truth is, the status quo is always easier than something new.
surprisingly that would have come in handy on more than one occasion.

Yes, and no?

I work in professional spaces as an engine/graphics programmer for some 7 years now. But I've also been doing stuff on the side. Nothing serious tho, so no links to show you.

Thing is, the kind of game I want requires some competent art and at this point I think it's better for me to learn that. So while (very very slowly) planning my game and learning knowledge professional, I want to do some classes in art for a few years, and hopefully by that time I can start to make a game that will truly wow people. The kind that makes you say "wow, this was made by 1 person?". That's my goal. Don't care if it takes 2 months or 10 years, but I feel like I already lost so much time.

(note: I'm not opposed to help. Far from it. But I have nothing to offer and all my friends aren't really doing that kinda thing. I imagine the art I use may not even be final art. Just enough to show I'm serious and maybe attract an artist who actually knows what they are doing).

This is a specific problem with the Active Record pattern, rather than something intrinsic to MVC, and it's exactly why AR is fine for simple apps where the business logic looks a lot like manipulating a row in a database, but breaks down for anything more involved.

But also there's no reason you can't have non-database-backed classes sat next to AR models, if they make sense in the domain. Not everything needs to be a database row.
It's interesting that Alfonso X chose Galician as a poetic language instead of the most common one among their subjects (Spanish). He had Galician in a higher standard that Spanish. That's amazing considering the impact he had in the evolution of Spanish.
Have there been any examples of this? I'd be really interested to know what happens in practice if the EU say "No acquisition" and Adobe just goes ahead with the acquisition. Do Adobe's products get pulled off the shelf? Do they face a monetary fine? What happens 10 years down the road when Figma is completely integrated into Adobe and Adobe still aren't operating in the EU at what point does the EU say "Hey, you're allowed back"?
