And perhaps that is a problem in a world where it costs an individual a lot if they are fired, and it (typically) costs a company much less. The result is a chilling effect on the right to criticize the government via corporate punishment, and just because it's technically legal or laundered through a corporation's actions doesn't mean it's a good effect to let continue.
I'm not a maximalist who is thinking we are all about to be automated; but I do question the logic of "the AI can't do my job so I'm safe".

Maybe the AI can't do your job, but maybe it can do the job of many people who would have the skills to do your job.

If this happens and the new capabilities don't create enough new jobs, then the risk to software engineers is supply and demand.

I find everyone remains extremely gullible. But now on top of this, they're also suspicious of things that are not suspicious (such as the nature of these photos), as I've outlined in another thread here.

This is an effect of polarization, and basic human needs. Even if a lot of what is out there is untrustworthy, we still feel the need to trust something, and with polarization we simply select to trust what aligns with our existing biases, distrust what doesn't align with our existing biases.

I'd say the bottom line is we remain easy to manipulate, and society continues to be very unprepared to deal with the current information climate, mostly because those running society and able to change this climate are also participating in the manipulation and they've found a personal local maximum in this setup after a lot of work and effort, which they wouldn't want disturbed.
That's from 2012. NPE was created around 2017-18 (I don't remember exactly).

The "risk premium" on these loans likely would've been FAR higher (or rather, people might've just stopped making loans altogether) if people were just allowed to declare bankruptcy right after getting the education.

She's not technically right. Her article is filled with "all my bosses cheerfully agreed that the social media policy was impossible to comply with", which is nonsense. She could have just stopped using Twitter. She's not a shark who will die if she doesn't tweet every few minutes, it's just social media. Yet she seems to be convinced that she found some clever gotcha here and everyone in every meeting bowed to her superior intellect, meaning she has an impressive inability to read her colleagues.
For me async/await was a godsend. I've had so bad experiences with multithreading in C++, where I ended up in a Semaphore/Mutex hell in a big project, that async/await is a really welcome compromise between using idle CPU resources and just not doing multiple things at once.

Then there's `#[tokio::main(flavor = "multi_thread", worker_threads = 2)]` which actually lets you use multithreading with async/await which is just a nice feature to have, given that Python can't do this due to the GIL. But asyncio in Python is also so great.

Regardless of how the vicissitudes of politics go, the current NLRB has made its decision, so the author is acting in accordance with the law. Their legal counsel agreed. Perhaps you find this dishonorable or morally disagreeable because of the particulars of this case, but given this is about an individual employee vs. megacorp, it seems no different in principle from the adage of "don't feel bad for quitting, your company would lay you off without a moment's thought." That VMWare vice president is not losing any sleep over the $40k.
Created this account just to reply to this. I've been running an Enigma1/2 BBS consistently for a couple of years now @ tel.houseofbaud.com. It's node based, running in PM2, and the developer provides a way to Dockerize it if you want to run it that way.
By default, the database is SQLite3, but I believe it has support for external/custom backends as required.
One of the cooler features is that it provides a way of running BBS Doors via DOSEMU. The menu system is a little confusing at first glance, but like all things the more time you spend with it, the more workable it becomes.
Scalability is left as an exercise to the end user, but as long as you have a concurrent database, you're only bound by the same things as every other Node app!
You don’t need to invoke “some people”, I happen to find the U.S. military immoral, and you can find posts supporting that from my comment history right on this site.

Still, this person displayed unbelievable lack of judgement by posting like that to a speaker of their employer’s conference, and it crossed at least two more lines beyond the simple “fuck you” preceding it.

I love GNOME and Debian. But Debian's live install of GNOME contains a lot of unnecessary packages like games, dictionaries, Thai terminal etc. And it is difficult to hunt the package name of an app too. Annoyed by all this, this is my way of installing OS:

1. Install Debian Netinstall with only standard packages.

2. sudo apt install gnome-core --not install-recommends

3. You get a very minimal GNOME installation now.

There are minor inconveniences by this method too like Evolution services being installed. But it is way better than a lot of bloats present in Debian live.
Even though most people here probably understand what you are referring to by "ClosedAI" I think that trying to coin neologisms or new designations for existing entities with the intent of conveying a specific opinion or agenda ultimately isn't helpful.

It can serve a purpose as an ironic figure of speech, but attempting to redefine the entire meaning of an entity or concept by stubbornly referring to it by a different name (e.g., consistently using "service as a software substitute" for the SaaS acronym) seems petty and doesn't add anything beyond the original argument.
I am using the web version of teams on linux and it works fine (I mean it is crap but not worse than on windows).

LiteIDE is a great native Go IDE too. Also in the no-LSP camp.
My bad you're correct, JVM based.
Indeed. "AI will only do the boiler-plate and crud, while us senior engineers won't be replaced any time soon". Sure, you get yours.

But what about the next generation of devs and engineers - where do we source the senior engineers replacing us when 90+% of all entry-level and junior positions which actually involve writing repetitive boilerplate to a large extent are gone, and the few remaining are offshored and outsourced?

Many (most?) of us did a lot of automatable work in order to get the experience required to be able to proficiently actually automate the work, including managing LLM-generated code. If we replace our juniors with machines, we won't have many seniors down the road.
From AWS to Hetzner: Managed RDS (Equivalent of RDS/Postgres) in Hetzner
We are spending (really!) too much in AWS: Azure or GC would be the same, so we're thinking of a drastic change and move (back) to Hetzner (which respect DNSH by the way, something our customer are requesting a lot).

We are on Docker Swarm (works perfectly), no knowledge of Kubernetes: what we are missing in Hetzner is the managed Postgres DB (and the managed Kafka).

Any suggestion on how to fill the gap? are there external company offering managed DB on hetzner?

I can see how first three would be fine in Russia as long as they toed the line they literally serve Russias agenda in some way.
> Haven't done too much async Rust yet but I don't think it solved this issue from what I've seen.

If you don't await your variable contains a future - how are you using that like e.g. an int, without a compiler error?
Had the same issue. You need to create another bottle in which you disable DXVK/VK3D.
I never "learn", I just create.

Creating things leads to me learning a helluva lot, I just don't go in with the desire to learn, but a desire to make something (and I will frequently choose to use some new tool that I heard is good for the job).

However, people are different, and those that enjoy learning more than creating might need to figure out a different strategy.

I see the walled gardens and restrictions as fairly separate from Android itself.

Most of the worst of it isn't Android at all, it's all just Play Store related, but other app stores don't need those restrictions.

I could see something like F-Droid, but with a cloud or local portal to be able to install things remotely on headless servers.

I'm not sure what the extra administrative burden is, Android is designed for as little administration as possible, I'm not sure if it's explicitly documented anywhere, but they seem to have a philosophy of "You should never have to configure one thing to get some other thing to work, everything should either be one size fits all or automatic".
Yeah we all have that problem but the design factors in the customers' decision to buy and designers cost an insane amount so what can you do.

> The government did not send police to their house to arrest them

A government official used his position of power to get a critic fired over a personal insult.

I'm not sure what "free speech" is good for if government officials can just get you kicked from your job for exercising it.
No, that is just one of many examples of how it can happen (and in your case, in both directions, because the name things have in politics doesn't need to match the reality).

Therapists and doctors have to guarantee to their patients that no beans will be spilled just to get what they need to do their jobs.

Whistleblowers need to know their names won't get shared to be willing to blow their whistles.

Filibusters, in the political rather than military context.

That's just off the top of my head.
Instant analogy to GPUs...

A similar story is found in the railway bubble bursts in the US. Railways are also incredibly revolutionary technologies that reshaped societies, doesn't mean they are immune from investment cycles.

That being said, given ChatGPT was only released 8 months ago, we are probably very early in the GPU boom, far from bubble yet.
It's actually very likely you'll have a compile error. Async functions return a Future (like a Promise in JS) and this isn't a value you can typically use inplace of others. There are also an on-by-default warning if you don't use the Future value at all

Of course people who used to have preferential access to a convenient shortcut would prefer that things remain that way. But why should they be the only one that get to use that road? Why are the needs of other people who want to get from A to B any less important. Odd view this is.

writing desktop UI is really difficult these days. I mean i'm not saying it used to be easier, but the amount of technologies you can use to write a web application or desktop/javascript application and easiness of creation is overwhelming, while the amount of GUI frameworks stays the same, while some of them are decaying (no new version for a long time).

So we have objective-c/swift (new!) for macos, MFC for MSVC++, WPF/UWP for C# - all those for windows, and we have QT/GTK for Linux and de facto multiplatform. That's basically all usable at the moment, but GTK is heavy on windows/mac in my opinion.

New languages bubbling up from the opensource ground meanwhile do not offer many bindings for those above, while QT had made it hard to do any reliable binding at all, apparently...
Add a couple from Java side as well, after all the drama, Microsoft is now an OpenJDK contributor and has their own distribution, after acquiring jClarity.

And a couple from Rust side, after the Mozilla layoffs.

And a couple of ISO C++ members.

And their own Azure Linux distribution went out of preview at BUILD 2023.
To me, that is even worse.
I am stuck with Goland, which i really like, because i cannot stand vscode. But like all jetbrains products, i use about 1% of the functionality of the IDE. So having appropriately priced alternatives, WITHOUT subscription model which i will never pay for, is very welcome.

PS: all I use is terminal tabs, looking up functions/method/properties and their descriptions, go-to definition, open folder, and run tests(which is just small command anyway). as i have said, 99% of IDE is worthless to me.
sounds like their employer was being more than fair. honestly the thumbnail tells you all you need to know about this person lol.
Taking your question seriously, I would say mike masnick has the definitive answer: https://www.techdirt.com/2022/11/02/hey-elon-let-me-help-you...

By the way, Twitter under Elon supposedly obeys more government censorship demands than before: https://cyber.harvard.edu/story/2023-04/twitter-complying-mo...

So if you believe twitter is now a free speech platform, it just means that you’re no longer the one being censored. That doesn’t mean no one is.
There already are protected forms of speech in the workplace, including discussion of workplace safety, unionizing, as well as speaking out against harassment and discrimination. And the NLRB has already ruled that some of those are protected even when made on social media, even if it's alongside profainty[1].

Perhaps criticism of the government or government representatives should be added to the list?

How is it different or better (, if compatible)?
The sunglasses form factor would be more mass-marketable than contact lenses, I believe.
It wouldn't work. In Go, it doesn't matter how deeply nested a call to a blocking function is, when you do "go f()" the runtime takes care of things.

With async however, if "await" is the default, then as soon as an async function calls another async function, it would block, completely defeating the point of async in the first place.

I guess you could flip the rules and say that within an async function async is the default and within a regular function await is the default, but actually in most languages a regular function can't call an async function directly because async needs to propagate all the way to the event loop. So you'd just have async as the default again.

My explanation sucks but if you want to go into this rabbit hole look up "stackful vs stackless coroutines".
Anecdotally, I am seeing tonnes of EVs in Ireland these days, the majority being Hyundai, Nissan, MG and VW... But quite a few Tesla's too. VW is the least popular by the looks of it, and as someone who recently bought an EV, it's mostly a price issue.

> The pony IS her authentic self

As a trans woman, I will pitch in and say this kind of stuff (from fringes of trans/queer community) is why we get hate crimed.

There's medical basis (decades of research and literature) for asserting that one's gender does not match their biological sex. There's not a DSM V criteria for being a pony.
I don't understand the past tense here, Eclipse is alive and kicking.

I recently had to choose a Java IDE to learn/use. It's pretty much a clean slate for me, as I've done only very little java in the 20-odd years that I've been developing software, and none at all over the last five years.

I comparatively looked into Eclipse, NetBeans, VSCode, and IntelliJ, and picked Eclipse.

The main drivers of my decision: Eclipse doesn't force you into any particular build system like maven (or using one at all), and doesn't force you to lay out your project folder in any particular way. This was ideal for my polyglot project, where I wanted to keep the Java component minimalistic and avoid dependency hell.

It also has a rich plugin ecosystem. With some of the other alternatives, I couldn't even use subversion, my preferred VCS, which is apparently exotic these days.

The guts of the language server behind the Java tooling most commonly used with VSCode actually come from the eclipse project, while exposing only a tiny fraction of the functionality you'd get when using eclipse directly.

It's both free as in beer and free as in freedom, and the Eclipse Foundation looks (at least to an uninformed outsider's eye) like a force for good in the Java ecosystem, fighting for what's right.
~2003 was about when Amazon migrated their database servers off of HP-UX and onto relatively commodity Intel servers running Oracle/RHEL.

And RedHat had previously already displaced Digital Unix for all the webservers by the end of 2001.
> The NTSB would have called it out if that were the case.

Should have called it out if they had enough evidence to support it, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Because scaling only seems easy to people who haven't done it. Meta knows how to scale, this is why they do a gradual rollout.
Agreed, with the caveat that it's only so easy if a server is already set up for it. Otherwise it loses a bit of it's edge, but not by much.

We are being simple, and I consider a simple PHP site about one step above HTML and CSS in required complexity, and about 5 steps below anything else in regards to tooling/setup/execution.
> I know what I am talking about.

Sorry, but you manifestly don't:

> there's no magic to them (compared to macros you could do as pre-processing in any other language)

The "magic" of s-expressions is that they make it easy to operate on the source code of a program as a hierarchical data structure (i.e. as an AST) rather than as text. That turns out to be an extremely powerful lever. It is is one of the reasons Lisp has lasted as long and been as influential as it has. I'm sorry if this sounds like an ad-hominem, but if you think there is "no magic" to S-expressions the most likely explanation is that you don't really understand them. There is nothing comparable in any other language. There's a reason that they are still in use today. Indeed, there is a reason that they keep getting re-invented again and again. HTML, XML, and JSON are all (badly) reinvented s-expressions.

> homoiconicity is a weird concept

No, it isn't. It is simple and straightforward: homoiconicity is where the primary representation of programs is a data structure in a primitive type of the language itself. It isn't any weirder than (say) recursion. If you think it's weird that is more evidence that you don't actually understand it.
My impression is that a large number of toxic people, or outright grifters, join them. In a way that a protest has a bunch of people who don't care as much about the cause, as they just want to fuck shit up. I genuinely find value in many of such groups' original ideas, but it's impossible to separate them from what they have turned into, especially when speaking about them to other people.
