well, software is 5th way of storing knowledge (see Philip Armour [1]) - i.e. it is "canned"/"frozen" communication, but with automatic (machine) -interpretability - which uncans/unfreezees pieces when using them then freezes again.

so i guess, anything related to Communication, applies here. And if the machine interpretation is 1000 times faster/stronger/stricter, then multiply by 1000 too..

It’s fine to be passionate but can lead to unwise decisions. Getting taken advantage of is one, accepting lower pay than you should for nebulous benefits is another.

Why take the effort to put in a bunch of citations when none of them back up what you say and a few directly contradict your assertion? Is this supposed to be an extended Hacker News comment?
They need to go back and read the Newton’s postmortem. With every new detail about this devices release - it’s becoming clearer and clearer this device just is not ready.

I was excited iPad apps could be directly ported over to VisionPro - but now after hacking with it in XCode - it’s evident this device and its APIs have no idea that customer intent drives context.

This lack of customer awareness is so interesting because all the designers in WWDC videos outline context with great labor. They forget a space is only part of an intent, and an intent is not a click or scroll. Intents demand a certain context, not the other way around - they’re scratching at old scars of starting with technology first then working to some customer experience.

Everyone pulls up the SJ D3 interview to say VisionPro is what Steve would want - but just like everything he says, if you only quickly listen you miss the full history and intent -
he says something along the lines of “headphones are just as good as amazing audio systems, displays on your face need to get better before we can recreate the plasma tv experience” - only after a lot of reflection did I come to understand this means audio passive consumption and display passive consumption. The customer intent for a display on face context is to recreate watching a plasma tv - following this intent means you end up with something completely different than what is happening now (I think SOL has nailed this, but perhaps focused too niche on the use case). Only later do you pull forward interactivity - as in the delay between headphones and Siri, which is still lagging.
A slightly cheaper option…

> Is there backwards compatibility between .NET Framework versions?

In theory: yes. In practice: mostly. There can only be one .NET Framework 4 installed at a time; the recent changes are found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/whats-new.

> Which version number should I request in my ultraportable executable?

This gets tricky if you want to support more than Microsoft does. Here is the details on recent .NET Framework versions per OS: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/g... and ancient of days: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/astebner/mai....

For example: Microsoft currently supports Windows 10+, which first included .NET Framework 4.6. However, Microsoft only currently supports v4.6.2+, and v4.8 has been "Windows Update"'d since May 2019. I personally bumped an old open source project from v3.5 to v4.8 recently because of how hard it was for myself as a returning contributor to build these days.

I'm concerned that the progress of LLMs will enable more bureaucratic and BS in corporate cultures.

OpenAI's CEO tweeted [0] that people using ChatGPT to compose a polite, business grade email from bullet points, and then the receivers decode it into bullet points. If this is the future, I guess we may see more verbose, a little bit cryptic sentences in emails (just like compiled code is getting more cryptic for human). And we already have lots of meetings that most people think meaningless. Now the records of meetings are automatically transcribed, stored in company's knowledge base, and retrieved by simple chats with ChatGPT. It gives a false impression of productivity, and encourages more and more meetings!

I think we need to refactor the organization/culture first, or we'll engage more complicated business ritual and pay small amount to OpenAI every time we need to reduce the BS that we've created unnecessarily.

We resort to away teaming when what you describe doesn't work, usually by telling both teams that both goals are important, and they need to figure out how to deliver.

Since away teaming is an accepted technique, it's usually considered as a way to solve these issues.

I guess we would need to completely give away the concept, and just accept that some thing won't get done unless they are important enough to keep two distant teams aligned (in other words, they are important enough for someone high in the hierarchy).
Handing over someone’s chats isn’t questionable? Let’s at least try not to normalize surveillance.
It's going to be night and day for sure. Your CPU wasn't great when it launched.

I have several Ryzen laptops, including a 6800H. The thing is as fast as the latest and greatest from Apple, although with a bit worse battery life. I get about 12 hours in Linux with Gnome. Very quiet. The fan turns on only during gaming, or prolonged compiling.

The mobile Ryzen 7000 line is a bit messy, though. If you want the Zen 4 stuff, you need to look for a 7x4x model, such as the 7840 from this article.

7 is the generation.

4 indicates that it's a Zen 4 part. There are many 7x3x parts on the market because they are simply rebranded Zen 3 (5000 and 6000) parts.
Show, don't tell. You know what would be more effective than these dozen "frameworks are bad, React is bad, programming sucks these days..." posts a day? Just show me your work. Link to your websites and repos that you built by flipping bits with a magnet or whatever other level of abstraction you prefer and let me judge its worth. Let me see how clean the code is, how easy it was to build, how mature the final product is.

In practice, what I have seen is there are people who endlessly talk about the right and wrong ways of working and others who realize that tools are secondary to actually getting your work out there in the world.
We have already seen that such incentives produce the wrong effect. At the whole-school level, what we see from incentives like this is that the system gets gamed such that the standard is lowered so that pay milestones are achieved, as opposed to the actual results of educating the children.

Tests get dumbed down. Teaching to tests instead of to understanding occurs.

Pay teachers more, but put them in a system where the students matter, not the money.

I think this is incredibly dismissive of a huge number of tech companies that are european. ASML are dutch, and ARM are a UK company. Neither are startups, but both are foundations of the bleeding edge of tech this decade.

The fintech space is brimming with startups in europe, and to the best of my knowledge this is far superior to the situation in the US.

Python doesn't have static typing until you add a library to check your "hints". This is valid in Python 3.10:

def take_a_string_and_return_a_boolean(x: str) -> bool:
return x

take_a_string_and_return_a_boolean("hello world") # => "hello world"
take_a_string_and_return_a_boolean(1234) # => 1234
take_a_string_and_return_a_boolean(None) # => None

The comment I'm responding to asked if either the customer or the company were better after the merger.

Google's (and YouTube's) customers are advertisers. Advertisers are certainly better off with the scale and reach that Google juiced YouTube with, and Google earns about $15B annually in revenue from it.

So, I'd say both conditions are met.
A decision that will need to be made is how projects are run. An engineering-driven org might be broken up along systems. However, cross-cutting projects will suffer a communication barrier. You could instead align teams around initiatives rather than systems to execute, but then tech debt will increase in those systems as people forget their original intended purposes in favor if getting the project done.
It won't destroy the company. Rather, it defines it, for better or for worse. And it may remove the connection to the founders' vision for the company.
I always assumed I'd get LASIK if my vision started to degrade. Then I learned that apparently LASIK can't treat age-related farsightedness: fixing your close vision will mess up your far vision. The only option AFAIU is to treat one eye only, so you have one eye for close vision and one eye for far. That doesn't sound very enticing to me.
They do offer an E2E platform Whatsapp which is wildly popular in the rest of the world AND the ability to have e2e encrypted chats on messenger too.

> Worse, my prescription changes every visit to the optometrist.

FYI, unless your vision is quite bad, this is likely to bilk you and/or your insurance for money. I have slight-to-moderately bad eyesight and had optometrists trying to change my prescription every year as well, to no noticeable effect. I started getting my eyes checked only every few years and then taking away my prescription without purchasing glasses immediately. You can generally gauge how honest your optometrist is by how indignant this makes them.

> Nicklaus Wirth was right

In what respect in this context? I should have explicitly stated that "Hello.dll" is a .NET assembly, i.e. Oberon+ uses the Mono CLR to run and debug the Oberon+ code (but not the .NET framework); it can also generate C99 (as a substitute for AOT compilation), but here it is about the minimal size of a Hello World .NET binary.

WASM and especially the WAMR runtime might be a good alternative to the Mono CLR in future, but today it's too slow and only a few architectures are supported (much less than Mono).
You can access all your cloud photos without granting access to any local photos -- that was the main point.

Yes you're correct that there's no way to give access to only selected local photos, but that permission also doesn't really make sense for the app. Its main purpose is to back up all of your photos automatically.

If you want to upload individual photos just do it directly from photos.google.com. It's a single click. There's no reason to install the app at all.

As other people have said, I normally run unit tests after changing comments. It's part of my check-in routine.

That said, I maintain close to a dozen Rust utilities, some of which only get updated every two or three years. And when I update them, I try to update all their dependencies. We're talking 250-400 transitive dependencies in most cases, and typically two years of evolution of all of them. In other words, this is a worst-case scenario for semver. I'm often looking at 600 "library-years" of supposedly compatible changes.

4 times out of 5, the "semver-compatible" updates work flawlessly. The 5th time, I'll occasionally run into a minor problem that takes me 20 minutes to clean up. Once every several years, I'll run into a genuine headache.

To me, this is stunningly successful. Rust semver isn't perfect, but it's a genuine joy from a maintenance perspective. And I expect things to get even better, thanks to tools like the one in the OP.

Congratulations.
The problem with "allowlist" is it is an ugly phrase that sounds like it was dreamt up by a bureaucrat. There is a reason we have blacklist and whitelist - they roll off the tongue. The move from master -> main was silly but at least technically superior because it is easier to say and type. "Blocklist" and "Allowlist" are worse words than "blacklist" and "whitelist" because they are the same to type and harder to pronounce aloud.

Whoever cooks up these schemes should have put more effort in. Even something like passlist and stoplist is easier to say. Throughlist. Something that sounds nice in a foreign language, maybe.

Primarily a semantics game.

Your business entity will still exist if you take VC money. However, the VC now has a say in the business and its profits, while their target may not be aligned to the founders' vision, hence a wedge that splits the company from the vision. That wedge may immediately divorce (what most would call a destruction) or it may take time.
