It's a terrible idea. This isn't 300BC.

I agree with the simple premise that today's students need more rigorous teaching of grammar and composition. It's not much fun, but it will serve any student well throughout their lives to have correct practices ingrained at an age where the brain can take them on and habitualize them.

And I agree many students have difficulty posing an argument and debating it with others. Such training would be useful throughout life, as would understanding mathematical concepts through basic algebra.

But a classical education ignores a lot of important things that we now know students need. Media literacy and financial literacy are the two that come to mind. and of course the three hydra heads conservatives love to hate, the concepts of equity, diversity and inclusion. These are functions of empathy, which have to be nurtured if our society is to not implode in the next couple of generations. The only way to do so is to help students find their own empathy by exposing them to a wide variety of human experiences through sensitive classroom discussion of real experiences around the world and accurate social history.
> You may be surprised to know that, when doing a "conventional" CC transaction, you are most certainly not giving any stranger information that would allow them to perform a transaction in your name on another merchant.

No. In best case, you’re giving your payment details to a PSP. A couple years ago NewEgg had a javascript skimmer on their checkout page that harvested all their customers payment details for months. Obviously anyone with access and intent could do the same for any payment page.
Maybe you are right. I cannot tell because I have no way of verifying the results.

Would you personally use the survey for actual real world research? Not talking about phoronix articles and blogs. Say, you are a marketing guy and the company you work for asks you to make predictions.

Personally I would not. And that is the essence of what I said.
> 2) Apple not being trapped in the “if we can’t sell a billion of them then why even bother?” mindset that so many other companies get trapped in, often because they’re not bursting at the seams with cash, talent, and runway.

I feel like the iPhone mini being only two years long is a strong counterpoint to this. There's a small hope for an iPhone 15 mini, but with no 14 mini, it's a long shot. It accounted for 6% of all iPhone sales in it's first quarter, after a delayed and rocky launch.[1] There is a small but somewhat vocal minority that want smaller screens, which Linus Tech Tips' sub-channel Mac Address covered recently.

When, at least since the 1950s "red scare," has the US government censored a movie from the entire country's market over something political? Even then, I don't think such a thing occurred.
You can achieve branch coverage of two if statements by running it twice, taking the different result on each the second time. You are describing stronger / orthogonal types of coverage.
"Cluetrain", J.P. Barlow's Manifesto, and ESR's Cathedral & Bazaar were all influential and widely-lauded at the time, but strike me now as various degrees of misguided and/or naive.

All three documents were highly aspirational, in that they pointed to a vision of the world the authors wanted to see, though the specific mechanisms and implications were less than clear, and over time, many dark and/or futile implications have emerged. "Cluetrain" specifically is a bunch of fuzzy-but-attractive-sounding aphorisms though with little in the way of specific mechnisms for bringing them about, or even an understanding of how media landscapes tend to be utterly dominated by centralised, powerful, institutional (corporate, governmental, religious, ideological) interests --- all the more ironic as the authors themselves came from this space.

My sense is that RMS's GNU Manifesto is an exception to this tendency to failure: it painted a clear hazard, a specific mechanism (copyleft), and a goal, all of which seem to have largely stood the test of the intervening decades, and has produced actual useful tangible results.

Though one might argue that JPB's Manifesto has given us the EFF. This hasn't guaranteed the freedoms Barlow championed, and it's run up against the dark sides of his vision, but it does at least continue the fight, which it seems freedom and democratic ideals always entail.

"Cluetrain" though seems far more like mush to me.

(I'd really like to hear from those who disagree with that assessment.)

I have worked in pre-git environments extensively, and I can say that I hated every minute of it.

Branches are great. Pushing branches is great. People rebasing is a good thing. Committing as much as you need to is great, and lets me diff when I mess up.

If I couldn't commit till I was "done" because we're all working off main, like I had to do in the past, oh man were there gonna be merge conflicts. I've had projects where we spent a week on merge conflicts alone. I have never, in 14 years of using DVCS had anything even remotely close to that.
Yet not a single one of them was allowed to even take a picture of themselves wearing one. Why was that?
%100 test coverage is absolutely essential for dependencies that are used in too many places and can affect too many places if something goes wrong. but it is necessary to decide whether it is really necessary to approach all addictions in this way. what I'm talking about is of course valid for a large codebase. And yes, 100% test coverage does not eliminate the possibility of error :D
Zig has bounds checking built-in. You can decide to remove it if you compile for ReleaseSafe instead of ReleaseFast, but it's always in debug builds.
This is a great comment!

I _love_ all of the tools that I mentioned. Like you said, I use them because they add value. I also use them because I want to learn them -- I like trying out new tools/libraries with personal projects, since I don't do much front-end at work.

> And a big part of a software developer's job is looking at a list of things like that and knowing why each component is there in the list, and whether the value it adds is worth the complexity it adds.

This is a great piece of insight. It's something I'll have to think about.

> I think the other reason it's not that popular is that the current state of affairs isn't that complicated

I do think that most not in the front-end space would disagree, especially considering how fast the ecosystem hops on something new.
Taking exogenous steroids is usually contraindicated. Some people will take steroids for other reasons, but a key reason many people work out the gym is for the physique. Speaking as if nobody is going to the gym to look good to other people is a form of denial.
“Exists and works” is not Apple’s normal bar for a product launch. They routinely ship 100M units in a sales cycle.

"Huidu" looks like Microsoft's RC (release candidate).

"lunzi" looks like UI/UX.

Apple recently released Logic Pro and Final Cut for the iPad. It wouldn’t surprise me if that work was done in part to support those apps on the headset at release.

It may have looked like that person in the demo was watching a movie, but maybe they were making a movie…
Already today manufacturers will add into their TOS that you are not allowed to reverse engineer their car. Well simple loophole is to just sell the car to third person which did not sign this agreement and then manufacturer's TOS does not apply to him.
Do you have any examples? I'd love to take a look!
On the other hand, when I was growing up, HBO, Cinemax, and The Movie Channel were all part of my local cable system's basic lineup. Feature-length, commercial-free movies were part of the basic cable fee. I guess that was the hook to convince people to sign up for cable, since this was not a fringe reception area. It was only later that the ad-supported channels began cropping up and ultimately taking over, cable fees be damned.

Same! I also, if I notice I'm leaving a lot of constructive comments, deliberately try to leave some positives ones too. Like "Nice! Glad we're adding typing here". Just as important to promote positive habits as discouraging negative ones.
You might be interested in duckdb-pgq[1], working on implementing graph queries support in duckdb. There are some papers online about it as well if you are interested.

I think I remember the FDB team developing one that was closed source back before their acquisition. I thought the business model was going to be open core and closed, paid, layers on top. I seem to remember them benchmarking the SQL layer and it being highly performant still, despite the complexity it added.

Maybe this thing still exists in close source form at Apple? It wouldn't surprise me if it does and forms the basis of a Spanner alternative, they're big enough to need it. Or maybe they canned it pre/post acquisition.

Edit: ah, you've already mentioned the closed source layer that exists at Apple. There we go!
You either get fully confident or you lose all shame.
There's no way the map was placed by accident, some studio exec had to have specifically requested it. There's no way it has anything to do with the story.
Continuously recording video to on board flash will eventually wear out the storage. It won't last for a 10+ year vehicle life span. Making it user serviceable will just encourage fraud.
What about in 5 years, when they've normalized subscriptions with the ad levels you expect today, and their shareholders demand more dividends. What then? Ads baby. Why would it stop when literally every public corporation's ONLY goal is to extract more money out of you, the consumer? Foolish thinking.
No. Long story...

Saw an old friend of mine recently. He's smart - majored in math - but spent many years running a landscaping company. He was showing me a spreadsheet he made to show musical scales and the position of notes on a guitar. You could select picking style and it would change the layout. Very complicated cell formulas - no code. I asked how he ever did all that. He. Said ChatGPT saved him countless hours. He praised it highly for the conversational style vs Google that just gives links to generic information, and the ability to refine your request to get better answers. It can also give formulas in some instances but he tests them. He's taken up using it for other things as well.

To be honest though, he could have be a deeply technical person, but he's only interested in such things to the extent it can solve real world problems. Not sure how many people fall in that category.
How do you get 100% branch coverage in a dynamic language?

Every method dispatch or property access is a branch to an arbitrary piece of code, or a source of an arbitrary error to handle, depending on what object it happens to end up dealing with.
Tangentially... I'm grateful that these new batches of systems languages have chosen to use the u8, i32, etc, style integer types. Rather than the uint8_t and int32_t style. First thing I do in any of my low level embedded C projects is put in the various uNN/iNN types.

Apple sells a $6999 monitor. The Vision seems like a very niche, very expensive portable monitor.

> The Narrator finds redemption at the end of the film by rejecting Tyler Durden's dialectic, a path that diverged from the novel's ending in which the Narrator is placed in a mental institution.

> An online release in China from Tencent censored the bomb blasts at the end and replaced the ending with a message that Project Mayhem was thwarted, with Tyler Durden being arrested by law enforcement and placed in an insane asylum until 2012, adapting the ending of the original Fight Club novel. [...] The novel's author Chuck Palahniuk believed the censored version partially restored the books ending.

Calling it a demo seems a bit of a stretch. The clearest red flag comes at 7:03, when the device translates his speech into French without him asking for it to be translated. This screams of "staged."

Given the device lacks a ship date, price, or overview of how it works beyond hand-waving "AI," I'd say the Ted Talk was the live version of a concept video, and just another PR move to get anything out there a month ahead of Apple's Vision Pro unveiling.
Basically all modern cars have electronic speed limiters, normally set to the speed rating of the originally equipped tires. Those bikes aren't geofenced either. Geofencing is hard because an official database doesn't exist, and cars can travel across thousands of jurisdictions.
This is particularly spooky given last night was the first time I saw the White Christmas episode of Black Mirror... Has this AI been ethically broken in?
I don't know the details, but I think there's some new-sh flag or something in TypeScript that requires the `.js` extension.

I don't know if they're pushing that to be the default or what.
Indeed! I literally just charged a long range model y at a 250kw Supercharger from ~20% to ~80% in 17 minutes (per Teslascope) this morning after towing a ride on trencher back to the rental shop. Was done before I had finished using the rest room and getting a coffee at the grocery store.
Why does GDP measure anyway? How much money do we create for billionaires?

My life is permeated by tech (and big part of it is AI) and made 100 times easier. I can buy a plane ticket to another country while waiting for a subway (did people use to take an hour to go to a special place, wait in line and talk to human to buy a ticket? I still remember this). I go there and quickly navigate in a city I know next to nothing about, find something niche, like cool local cafés in the area because GPS and google maps. I go to a restaurant and I can use google translate to understand the menu. I don't even need to type unfamiliar words, AI scans the image and translates it on the fly. The same google translate with speech recognition AI helps me to converse with a person when we don't share any common language. I can click couple of buttons and video-call my mum who lives on the other side of the world. If I need to buy something I need very rarely, I can order it online and not think where I find a shop that sells those things. Even if I don't know the right word, I can now ask chatgpt "what do you call in German that fancy thing you mount on the ceiling and attach lights to it?"

My life is _hugely_ more efficient thanks to tech and AI. Does it help me to contribute more to the abstract economic growth? I don't know, perhaps not. But I just don't care about GDP.
I wonder if “pin” was considered too generic though. Humane Pin also has the awkward formatting of a noun phrase. (a pin that is humane, not that it makes sense really)
Okay, that makes sense. Men on moon was 5 years away in 1964. I might argue that today men on the moon are over 50 years away, in the sense that currently there's no-one there. Guess it's a half-full / half-empty, discussion. Technically, humans can walk the moon, but moon walking isn't actually a thing.

With self-driving cars, I'd argue mixed bag. Yes, it's already possible (with caveats), but "no" it's also at least five years away. When can I have it? When would it make sense for an existing cab company to jump ship? I mean, fire the drivers and replace old fleet with commodity self driving cars.

Personally I'm not so interested in what kings, millionaires, governments can achieve unless it's either a stunning scientific achievement or somehow relevant improvement to society.
I agree. My guess is that they are at fork in production ramp. They need to choose between high production high risk or low production low risk.

If they are 100% certain this is the final form factor they would take one path. If they think we need to get this out in the world and see how it is useful they would take the other.

Barbie as the latest pawn in a geopolitical standoff resulting in nuclear war and the end of humanity is actually quite funny.
Very insightful. I never thought about it like this, but it's common practice in embedded systems to approach problems in this way. One module may provide a statically-sized pool of like objects, and other modules extend behavior in relation to those objects by carrying buffers of pointers and/or indexes into that pool. It might feel inefficient due to the storage of so many pointers/indexes, but you're optimizing the size of the largest thing: the object pool itself.
I think self-censorship is fairly well documented when it comes to Hollywood and the PRC at this point, but do you have something to back up that demanding “gestures” such as this are commonplace? If so, it is news to me at least and I would like to read more about it.

Interesting… my experience has been the opposite, except for getting support. I prefer being able to get the product for free immediately and then chat about support later. It’s why we use Rancher, because it takes 20min to set up with Helm, vs like Tanzu where you have to have. an entire call and licensing and accounts to even download anything. Or D2iQ where you need to fumble with getting everything set up for a while with the sales and technical people.

Rancher has been great for me with around 200 clusters. They don’t support temporary creds for IAM stuff, so I have to provision EKS clusters on my own.

We pay for paid support and have very little problems getting them on the phone, but it is generally a consulting firm that ends up helping.

I enjoy taking photos and reviewing food. I used to do it on Zomato, and made some friends through that, but Zomato pulled out of my country and Google Maps is pretty much the only good existing choice
I wouldn't worry too much about getting to 100%... With tests the spectrum can be ALWAYS extended to the right side. E.g. you could argue that you should also do mutation testing because 100% coverage doesn't mean tests are sensitive enough to changes in code branches, etc... Once you realize this you never really arrive at 100%

That said having coverage target is more often positive than not having one. Coverage target kind of sends "we care about test suite" message
Apple tends to be good at getting technology into people's hands and then iterating based on the use cases that emerge. The iPhone without being able to write apps for it seemed like a really bad idea at the time, but they were able to iterate quickly and get feedback that let them launch the app store more effectively.

Their Vision Pro just needs to get into enough company's hands for people to start exploring what markets might exist. The direction Apple will take things if it turns out that most of the demand is in the medical field will be a lot different than if the demand turns out to be in education. By growing where the demand is initially, they can lower the cost of entry which will make it possible to go into other fields where their is value but lower margins.
