Its what society promotes. Social media just happens to be very fast and visible. Almost all signalling from society says the most important people are the attention seekers.

In my view, a lot of society only want to win, and don't especially care how. Society signals and says, "those people are winners." They attention seek relentlessly. They say anything, as long as it's said confidently. If there's some scandal or controversy, its probably better, cause everybody wants to watch catfights and trainwrecks anyways (see Trump).

Its like that Goodhart quote everybody likes recently, "when we use a measure to reward performance, we provide an incentive to manipulate the measure." I've talked to music artists recently that were also very blunt about music making these days. "What do you make?" "We make what gets more views on streams."

Its not "they don't need each other for creating value", its that what society has determined "valuable" represents is effectively paradoxical.

Another issue is Productivity Punishment. See this article on "loyal work punishing" [1]. Short abstract. If we have John, in Loyal and Disloyal versions, with reputations for those behaviors. And management wants extra work with no pay. We give the scenario to 1000's of managers and then see who they try to exploit for extra work repeatedly. Uniformly try to get extra work with no pay out of guy with Loyal reputation. Nearly everybody says, "you're Loyal, that means we can exploit you. You're valuable in the sense that a mine is valuable." And if they're punishing Loyal John, then who are they rewarding? "Wanna go play some golf?"

See my previous comment on 'what society has determined "valuable" represents is effectively paradoxical.'

"Laptops don’t change" - this is most important reason if we're talking about Apple laptops. My 10 years old MacBook Pro is almost absolutely the same as MacBook Air of 2023. Performance, screen, OS, weight, battery, keyboard. And old laptops look even better; look how ugly are new M1/M2 Air cases in comparison with first versions of Airs.
That's a really common trend today even outside of frameworks and software development. It's super common for people to make a worse choice when they know a better one is right in front of them, because blame if the worse choice fails will be diffused, but blame if the better choice fails will be placed entirely on them.
Every community has their masochists.
This making sense depends on your career. It makes sense for writers, but not for everyone. Why? Because silicon is cheaper than carbon ie the hourly costs for most machines tends to be far cheaper than my salary. In my case it’s more expensive to buy something cheap and slow, than it is to buy something that allows me to maximize my throughput per hour.
Ugh, the whole world is not having summer vacation...

I've never understood this obsession in the tech industry with holding small to medium sized conferences in major cities.

For something truly humongous you need a Las Vegas, but as a participant I'd much prefer the conference just book a hotel somewhere in the woods, or in a relatively small town.

The usual counterargument is airport connectivity etc.

But in most cases you can simply drive for X amount of time away from the urban center the airport is serving, instead of towards it, and find a perfectly serviceable venue that could host a conference of the same size.
Python3 had 2to3 and python-future, the migration still took 15 years.
Would like to see this support Word documents also. Does not sound like those are as yet.
> I got to the thought that you might be advocating for not properly engaging the entire posterior chain and in effect attempting to muscle up the weight relying mostly on the back like a stiff leg deadlift?

I’m not advocating for it, but I also don’t think stiff leg deadlifts are dangerous at all! Again, it’s about fatigue management. If you’ve never done stiff leg deadlifts, then yeah trying to do a maximal effort stiff leg deadlift is probably not smart. But if you’ve never bench pressed then trying to do a maximal effort bench press isn’t smart either, if you’ve never run before then don’t sprint a 5k, etc…

> I was primarily concerned with the non experienced passerby.

I get where you’re coming from, but the most important thing for someone one doesn’t currently strength train is that they start strength training. Full stop. The benefits massively outweigh the costs.

Again, I’m not trying to put words in your mouth because I don’t think you mean this, but if we aren’t careful and give people the impression that they “should go to the gym but must be careful to use perfect form or they’ll get seriously injured” (not supported by the evidence) then most people frankly won’t lift. And not strength training is way more risky.
Yes, that is how you would do it if you are rolling your own boot setup.

But, most ISO images are not set up to work this way, and the implication of the iVentoy site is that you can just use unmodified ISO images.

That is what I am wondering: How can you use unmodified ISO images to boot, as images, over the network? (Or can you?)

All the iPXE forum posts about this idea essentially end with "you can't do that without kernel support for reading the rest of the ISO.", so if iVentoy has solved that, I wanted to know how.

And then another fifteen minutes to get through the casino to the conference area of the hotel. I went to reInvent once and thought I would just walk everywhere and I literally put holes in my shoes doing so.
The T430 is a rugged laptop, but it’s getting pretty far up there in age. For example, I use mine in the shop to read PDFs, update the project’s Trello board, fetch software updates and drop them on SD cards, etc.

I used to think Trello kinda lagged. Great tool, but man it’s kinda slow. Then I opened it on a modern computer - it’s just the old hardware holding it back. Same with PDFs - these are graphical 11x17 pages, and it really does get bogged down easy. You’re gonna be amazed how much faster everything feels when you get to the newer machine.

I'd like to defend the T430 from a T430. Yes, it was a bad purchase when I made it (and when the author made it), but you can buy them for $100 a piece now on Ebay. Keyboards you can probably buy 20 for $50. Since they are from the dawn of Thinkpad's bullshit, they hardcoded the hardware choices you could make for upgrades into the firmware. Awful. But 1vyrain (https://1vyra.in/) came along and fixed all that.

A T430 doesn't even feel underpowered these days, and has a (horrible) webcam (that can be improved a bit by judicious software postprocessing.) With a dining room table, a router running OpenWRT, 4 T430s, and a 5-10 year-old gaming PC as a server to compile things on/serve things from/etc., you could start a little software company and your biggest expense would be the table.
The Pre-touchbar Retina Macbook Pros were the perfect laptop for the era. They could run a bit hot (but what didn't, back then?). Excellent hardware quality, and can generally still run well today if you don't do anything demanding. I've got a 2013 13" that doesn't have a single issue other than age.
Note that the only data tracking Apple was caught doing was in iOS, not macOS, but there are many signs that Apple collects aggregated usage data in macOS (which probably cannot be later reduced to expose the behavior of any single customer).

Apple did finally close this loophole in iOS 14.5, causing Facebook to lose what some analysts think was ~$10 Billion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identifier_for_Advertisers - however, by March 18, 2021, Mark Zuckerberg stated that it could actually encourage advertisers to use the explicit targetting and tracking happening on facebook, and he made it sound like a win-win.

Have conferences outlived their usefulness? Is it worth the upheaval in routine to travel, stay in hotels, eat overpriced restaurant food, and tolerate the unsavory street environment of most big cities, to sit and listen to a bunch of companies and authors promote their latest products and books?

I'm scheduled to go to a conference in October and seriously thinking about canceling, there's really nothing attractive about the idea in any way.
I’ve no doubt that almost all weapons engineers the world over believe they are working for a noble cause (and many of them with neighbors far more belligerent than Mexico or Canada). I can’t help but suspect that some do take glee in it but know better than to advertise that.
How FBI Querying Under FISA Section 702 Works
I don't think the economic model is dying, it seems to be going stronger worldwide. Even with protectionist pushbacks, capitalism seems to come out on-top. (Sure there are issues like regulatory capture, but those are bumps in the road to a free-er market)

> the surplus wealth has been accrued in an ever more concentrated fashion, we increasingly seem to have a sort of "surplus" (oh boy, can it get more Dickensian?) of people in something of a "middle class limbo".

I know you are saying that billionaires have a ton of money. But I see this in the lower class. Every teen and every lower class person has an iphone, a Veblen good. Status seeking people have it even easier than ever to present an image of being rich. This means middle class people can pretend to be even more rich (A middle class person could afford a 250k car given the 8 year loans, or rent one for an IG photoshoot). It has people feeling insecure.

The French revolution was driven by bad food harvests. This is an issue of status, not starvation. 100% of people can't be billionaires.

Not sure what that will mean.
> Now imagine that the way it worked when you get fired or laid off is that you’re also suddenly on the hook to pay back the last, say, 6 months of your income.

It would be analogous if I were paid my annual salary upfront at the beginning of the year. But it's not.
This article from late 2022 has good graphs on the data, including how sales translate to fleets, fleets translate to distance driven and how distance driven correlates with gasoline purchases.

Your argument for this is that it isn't allowed on platforms that don't allow lies?
I'm finding myself using Pascal for fun these days due to resource constraints.

The old release of Borland's Turbo Pascal, version 3.00A, runs under CP/M and provides an editor, compiler, and libraries all under 64k.

It's fast enough to use interactively, and produces code that is good-enough to implement low-level utilities, simple games, and other random hacks.

I've not used Pascal on anything larger, or more modern, but I have to say that my recent experience has been rewarding enough that I wouldn't rule it out!
Same with asyncio, but you have explicit await to tell you where this happens.

But this only solves network concurrency problems.
Yeah i have to call BS on this narrative that somewhat the keyboard is the most important thing for developer. Writing code is not writing documentation or writing books : Most of time spent not on typing letter... Debugging, reading code, thinking about a code etc... are more important. I have yet to see a case where typing speed is a limiting factor for coding.
Loads of non-dev information workers type way more than dev...
It sounds like a good idea to make it easy for more sites to have an RSS feed.

I seem to remember someone saying on here that if you're looking for suggestions on something, the best thing to do is put up a half baked version of your own and watch as swarms of people come in to talk about their version.

I guess it tracks as well, in general on the internet I find you get better advice claiming something is the case and then getting corrected than just asking for advice
They used to be. I am writing this from the above-mentioned T480. It is 3 years old, has both usb-c ports replaced, small crack on the backside of the screen and the keyboard zif is broken, so the tape cable is... well taped to the connector.

On the other hand my X200, T420, T450 are still in mint condition. To be completely fair, modern macs are also way off from well-built. Shiny yes, but sturdy is the last thing I'd call them.

BTW, in older ThinkPads, the drain-pipes under the keyboards actually worked - you could pour water on it just for kicks. Now it is there only for decoration.
This is an extremely basic and superficial take on multiple factors that hollowed out Philadelphia and surrounding area.

It would be silly if this article were trying to recommend a 15 year old computer for intense numerical processing, which is why nobody, including the author, made the attempt.
This is why you don't use meme TLDs.
Reading the presentation https://matthias-research.github.io/pages/tenMinutePhysics/0... , am I right in thinking that the vanilla Position-Based Dynamics is literally just how Quake does collision and then clip velocity against geometry? And the extension is simply to add a softness parameter that interacts in elastic-energy space?

So basically going from reality to PBS there goes three layers of simplification:

First Level: assume that the discrepancy between inertial and constrained position is caused by a constant force. Guess a force vector, simulate a constant-force scenario in a vacuum and fine tune your guess until the final position makes sense, to get the accompanying velocity

Second Level: actually, we don't really care about the velocity progression within the timestep, so we instead just assume that the discrepancy is caused by a velocity boost at the end of the last frame. Guess an impulse vector, simulate a constant-velocity scenario in a vacuum and fine tune your guess until the final position makes sense, to get the accompanying velocity

Third Level: actually, we don't really even care about the position progression within the timestep, so we instead just snap the position to the closest point that makes sense, and just say that your object went a bee-line from the last position to this position and your velocity is just the displacement over time.
Transpilation won't work with semantics.

And it won't change anything about c extensions.

I’ve mostly worked in Microsoft shops. And I used to not like that. A lot of the guys around me adopted the attitude of, “what does Microsoft have that does that? “. As I’ve gotten older, I think that Microsoft has enough churn of their own. But it’s far less than opening up to the wild west that is GitHub entirely.

I’m pretty grateful. Everything I work on is either C# or JavaScript. And I do like the abstractions and architecture that comes out of that space. It’s probably similar to a Java shop that way.

A lot of the comments here sound like people are really hacking away with some short-lived library, not framework, off of GitHub in some random language that no one else on the team knows, and now the company will have to hire for forever. Or rewrite. That doesn’t sound like fun to me at all. I definitely wouldn’t build my own business on it.

There are still good frameworks that don't take unnecessary control. I think the most common bad ones have some ulterior lock-in motive, usually some company trying to extend its influence, and you have to look out for that.
Good insight. I think what might help them a little bit, however, is that the features they're sure to add in the coming weeks are known commodities at other networks, so people will already be aware of the value the features add, such as a timeline that only shows folks you're following.

Companies should not have to bend over to apple's whims just to get their software in end user hands. Hopefully upcoming EU regulation will reign apple's overreach in a bit.
“Laptops don’t change”

Really? because a few years ago battery life was maybe 7 hours and now it’s 18. And with faster processors, thunderbolt 4 and USB C charging, wifi 6, better screens and lighter.

I keep hearing this argument for not buying a new laptop every year and it just doesn’t hold water. I say buy the latest MacBook, expense it, factor it in as a monthly cost. These are expendable and essential tools. They pay for themselves

And these framework laptops are pretty awful. They run hot and are poorly designed. The modular usb addons are a joke and exchangeable GPUs? heavy, power hungry, not for laptops. 3 hour battery life. The main product feature AFAICS is virtue signaling. These products are not open hardware either. Then, there’s this modularity argument. Like this is the last laptop you’ll ever own and forever will be replacing it piece by piece. Disassembling over and over. But that’s not realistic. You’ll have to upgrade to faster processors and the form factor of the mb will change regardless of what they say, and you’re counting on the company being around in a few years which is a poor bet. They can’t compete with Apple or even Lenovo

Sounds good to me, though I think there should be a second component, which would be app sdks: Make designing with conditional permissions in mind a first class citizen, and create clear guidelines, as to how to do that, and why you really, really should do that.

Alas, this is probably where legislation would so some convincing (see gdpr)

When I was a developer I hated it. I was almost always the #1 in LOC, Jira Tickets, Scrum Points, you name it. I was naturally good at it, but the environment was always very competitive and the other top performers would brush it off as just me being lucky with "LOC Heavy" tasks. And it would piss me off that I would get paid the same as a guy who wrote 200 LOC a month and wasn't doing much more than those lines.

Being a manager/lead developer today, I enjoy the people doing small work. I just let them pick tasks as they wish, and it takes longer, but they eventually pull through.

The problem is just that they're a bit unpredictable, so if something has a tight deadline, we gotta assign to someone else.
> Complexity is often part of developer culture, period.

I’d even say no one seems to realize that the default tendency for a developer is to complexify. One either needs to learn to keep things simple by experience or is forced to it by constraints like time.
Why would any webmaster allow any of their content be used to train an AI? What's in it for them?

The current "treatment" is to hand out free drug paraphernalia and what has been proposed in cities like SF and Seattle are taxpayer-funded "safe injection sites" fully staffed with nurses. An analogy would be to try and cure a rat problem by sitting on a park bench tossing them pieces of bread. It's irrational and it doesn't work.
laptop sales would go down, but that’s precisely what we need. Furthermore, with today’s computing efficiency...

Somehow these conversations never seem to talk about how we would not have current levels of compute if everybody kept their computers for one or two decades before buying another. Good or bad, right or wrong, the present state of affairs only happened with the present replacement cycle.

I'm not arguing we have to keep the present replacement cycle, but I think it needs addressing.
Turbo Pascal and later Delphi were the first time when a programming language really spoke to me. Eventually, I went the C and C++ route, but I’ve always had a desire to return to more expressive languages.

I had no idea that there was still a modern Pascal implementation, so I may just have to get reacquainted with my first love.
I wonder what are closest significant shipping/flight routes of Nemo
I know how it works. The point of the topic was to have type information available, so we can use it for things like dynamic binding. No one asks for the runtime to be as strict as the type system (the compiler).

I like Venkat's presentations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34oiEq9nD0M

BTW. I do not agree with the opinion in the topic. Since Typescript is compiled to something else (usually JS), I'd prefer Typescript to have proper annotations (there are "decorators") and compiler hooks and just use code generation for concerns like (de)serialization.
It's crazy that you think that actually makes sense in practice. Yeah you can put the numbers out there and it may "seem" correct but in reality that is ridiculous logic.
I wonder if, at any of these companies, management (including senior, C-level management) also needs to re-apply to justify their own jobs and pay and beat out the other managers, or if this Hunger Games process is only for the worker bees.
