Why TikTokers are pretending to be robots and saying ‘ice cream so good’
Yes, the first part is what I was going for. Actually it is even worse than that, because C++ has a more limited syntax. Rust's syntax and semantics must support more features. This fundamentally limits its accessibility.

Firefox password management on desktop is great. I've got very frustrated with it on mobile (Android) over the last 6 months, with it failing to recognise password fields on account creation to generate passwords. I was relying on Firefox password management but have just transitioned to Bitwarden.
That argument is sound if there are as many IC VPs as there are management VPs. Otherwise it looks like a convenient lie.

Rust is very much aimed at the same space of Go where Go can be used to replace C.

I'd argue Rust is more aimed at the C space than the C++ space because of its accent on systems programming.

I’m still salty because no one cared enough about Outlook getting bundled in Office back in the day.

If it wasn’t enough with all the proprietary stuff that only works between Outlook clients, it now defaults to adding Teams links to any call scheduled through its calendar.
Ya, but they're wrong. Open Source is all about the license.

EDIT: OK, I guess you need the actual source code, too. But once you have the source and an open source license, it's open source, whether it's on github or stored on a thumb drive, and no matter the size of the community around it.

Although I guess you have a point about there being other things that are important... like you might say, Android isn't _really_ open source any more because of the way that Google has gradually made the whole ecosystem dependent on proprietary stuff like Google Play Services, and because of the fact that development happens behind closed doors at google, but technically AOSP is still open source.
Is this something missing specifically from IDEA?

In Rider, there are features that allow committing individual lines instead of a whole file. You can select in the commit dialog which lines to include/omit. Also I recommended taking a look at Changelists feature that allows separating certain changes from what would be committed next (I believe it works line by line basis).

It may a per-tenant setting but I checked that and a new meeting created in Outlook doesn't contain a Teams link - you have to either select "New Teams Meeting" or select "New Meeting" and then explicitly make it a Teams meeting.

New meetings created in Teams do include a Teams link - but isn't that what you would expect?
I use VSCode but not git lens. I don't think it does much that Lens doesn't, it's indeed a different workflow for me: I don't like to use the mouse so the clicky-clicky workflow of Lens doesn't work for me, I'm much faster with lazygit (and I can instantly drop to the `git` CLI if there's something I don't know how to do with lazygit, as I'm already in the terminal).

I'm not particularly keen to have my VCS and my code editing in the same software really, although I wouldn't say that it's a superior approach.
It's not crazy in the context that it only exists to tell people "no".
Sometimes you want to spawn a [future/task/promise/...] and not immediately await it, but instead pass it around. Suppose something like:

should_be_future = async_function()
should_execute = async_function() # <--- await goes here
handle_future(should_be_future)
handle_result(should_execute)

While the compiler could figure out where to insert awaits automatically, it adds cognitive overhead for the developer -- suddenly the same way of calling a function can result in either a [future/task/promise/...] or the expected type.
I've switched to Arc. Firefox is okay, but it has become the new Opera, lots of features but appeals to a niche. And like Opera, websites tend to break on it. Chrome is the new IE, sluggish, but everyone uses it because of the brand name. Edge is like Netscape, a former champion failing to regain market share with a superior product.

IMO Firefox's flaws is that

1. It doesn't have the same compatibility as the chromium stuff. Especially add ons. It's similar to the Huawei app store.

2. It's too focused on performance but not really UX. Arc is doing great with UX without hurting too much on performance. There's no visible improvements and unlike Arc, it doesn't do a good job of educating users on how to do things better.
I don't know, Java is such a new untested language, I'm not sure anyone will choose it for CGI programming over C, or maybe something like Perl.

[outside of kayfabe, Java was really first released in May 1995, only a few months before this press release, and was mostly used for applets and desktop applications (building a web browser!) - server side usage came a while later]
I don't think his comment implied that all institutions are capable and trustworthy which option 1 did.
Perhaps not bundling Teams with Office, or make Office products default to Teams, would be a start.
Don't you see the difference between:

And this:

> institutions are flawed like everything humans do and would need continuous criticism and fixing

?
And what do you propose? To let only 1.5 good C programmers in the world write code like in 70s?

It looks like this is exactly what they intend to do at some point. From the article:

I don't see how this would work, tbh.
It would be more random than an LLM's output
If you're happy to add some types you might also get some speed ups using mypyc. Another option might be to switch your dicts to pandas series; you might be iterating over several lookups in python and with pandas you might be able to switch those into functions written and compiled in C.
But not as wordy, it was painful.
It's a language for white-collar sweatshops ... more so than Java ever was.

Ultimately this is a disservice to those with any talent as it leads to a work environment where they are relegated forever to the lower ranks (unless they give up coding and move into management).

I think a lot of this could be solved by just better optimizing gifs. A lot of gifs are created by naive tools. Lower the number of frames per second, make better use of the transparency letting through previous frames. You can usually get a gif down to a couple hundred kb.

What gives gifs their staying power is how easy they are to save and repost even on mobile. Videos lose this ability and thus their virality.

The reason gifs live on is because they are so easy to share. Beyond that, the limits of the format are kind of the charm of the entire thing.
I've been hearing this since 1991.
Was the intro generated as well, or lifted directly from the real show?

There is a significant drop in believability as soon as the first scene of the generated show starts after the intro. Look at the first few seconds of the first scene. Here, the three boys are just standing statically in the hall while they are talking.

Now take South Park Episode 1, Season 1, from 1997.

https://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/940f8z/south-park-...

Look at the first few seconds of that opening scene after the intro in this very first episode of the real show. Notice that even though there is a lot of time where some of the characters don’t move at all, they still feel a lot more alive than what you saw in that video that is in the OP. And I think part of it is also the use of exaggerated expressions when they do move. The others not moving is ok, because the ones that do move provide a lot of entertainment with those movements and expressions. And of course the voice acting is very passionate as well.

In the years since then the South Park episodes have gotten even better and better animation.

Maybe I am being too harsh, but the lacklustre animation in the first few seconds of the first scene of the OP video made me not watch any more of the video.

If you want to take on South Park, and you want to beat it at its own game, the bar is very high. Both in terms of script, voice acting, and animation.
Framework Laptop 16: our exclusive hands-on
I also work on a codebase that has to have a particular order (because the compiler doesn't support any kind of modules or interfaces).

It's a nightmare. Very difficult to follow.
Most of the letters in FAANG hardly have their "continuing growth" or their "20+% profit margins" through the software development they do.

Early capture, network effects, and coasting is more like it.

So the quality of their layers of managers hardly matters, in G, for example, comically so (as has been relayed by insiders time and again).
> prevent accidental duplication

sometimes sections of code can be syntactically duplicate at some point in time but aren't really semantically duplicate.

e.g. in terms of the example in the post, of having different client-specific logic. at times two different clients may end up with syntactically duplicate code in their corresponding client-specific layers. but unless this code reflects that some detail specific to both clients is actually subject to the same pressures and constraints, what is syntactically duplicate today may not be tomorrow when client A's code needs to change due to pressure P that does not also impact client B, so the syntactically duplicate code is no longer syntactically duplicate.

factoring out syntactically duplicate common code between things that need to change at different times for different reasons is unhelpful as it introduces unnecessary coupling.

not sure if i've understood the context of "prevent accidental duplication" but reasons for change and avoiding unnecessarily coupling is something that jumps into mind when considering multiple clients or multiple regions
Honestly, it just works so well. I get the argument, I’ve also seen the decline of Slack as Teams became the default, and normally I’d be pissed. But MS365 is just incredible value for money.

Even on Linux in Edge mostly it feels like a no brainer for any company.
true, but even the domain is a really obvious signal for most of these attacks, considering most companies use their own domain for emails and it's fairly difficult to fake an email coming from that domain. So something coming from <ceo><random string of digits>@gmail.com should raise alarm bells for both automated systems and users (assuming the users can actually see it, which they now can on outlook)

This is simply not the way such models work and your jump from the LLM’s parameter count in its own training to testing its capabilities in a classification task is a non sequitur.

My understanding from paper is every character had separate prompt, and somehow they mixed it together.

'BUT' approach would require opposite, start with story, somehow integrate character quirks.
Most FAANG ICs never reach those levels.
This would be a solid point if he kept putting out nonsense or useless but catchy things, but he keeps putting out pretty concise useful things. Useful tech things are pretty popular here, for good reason.

In this article, you will be guided through the process of creating beeware first application.

I do understand why someone would like ligatures, just not not the whatever it is that is imlemented now:

- if a ligature looks just like a grapheme of another character, why not use that character? why the replacement is done at font level???

- using ligature across morpheme or token boundary is rude typesetting. e.g "selfish" or "c<int>=1;"

Other than that, I do not have anything against ligatures that enhance legibility of text (what they are meant to accomplish)
A tab bar is similar to a bookshelf for me: I see the icon and title of open websites in a neat list. Closing tabs and banishing them to some hidden history/bookmark menu is like putting your books into boxes in the basement instead of a shelf. Sure they're still there, but you might forget you have a book because you never see it and you have to dig through boxes to find it.

If a closed tab only remains in the bookmarks or history it might as well not exist for my brain.

> Closing tabs keeps my machine fast and memory usage low

I just restart the browser now and then, which will unload all tabs again. They're still in the tab bar but require almost no memory until I use them.
In my experience the key difference is that managers often accept they are part of an inherently soulless capitalistic exchange of their time for money. Many ICs prefer the illusion that they're not. Everything else tends to flow from that. A manager with that illusion will not rise up as quickly and an IC without that illusion will rise up more quickly. Of course living life without that illusion is not inherently better (except for the money) since it can feel very soul destroying.
Chrome had an ad on the Google homepage! (which is not for sale).

Nope. Direct quote:

> Although not widely reported in the media, I would stop short at arguing these claims of ethnically targeted bio-weapons are unsupported. See my comment further down where I provide multiple sources to back the claims of US funded bioweapons labs that Russia brought to the UN in 2022 - and which the US denied at the time - only to sheepishly admit to earlier this year, that the US was funding 46 Bio (weapons) labs in the Ukraine, many along Russia's border.

The US has never admitted to funding bio weapons labs in Ukraine because it never happened.

They fund bio research labs that keep track of viruses and other pathogens to try and get a head start on when another pandemic/issue starts.
It’s a little silly to ascribe that entirely to their management practices and not at least a little to the fundamentals of the industry.

In reality it is probably almost 100% due to fundamentals and almost 0% due to management practices (Amazon perhaps an exception).

It was destined to be ultra high margin and destined to have a few huge winners due to facts well outside of the control of the FAANGs themselves.
On the up side, if managers get desperate and turn to in-fighting ICs can play them off against each other ... as opposed to being treated like cattle.
The link you shared aside, I'd be genuinely interested in hearing your own personal opinion why ligatures are bad in coding fonts.

How long have you been in the industry?

They don't make a lot of sense now, reference material is generally kept in electronic form, often online not locally, both because it saves resources (paper, space to store it) and because things change and online content is so much easier & cheaper to keep up to date. That and things change faster ATM in most tech fields.

But think back to the late 90s when many, even devs, had little more than a slow and expensive (per-minute phone call costs) dial-up connection that blocked other calls while active, and having a local resource that you could flick through to find details makes a lot more sense. Also not having convenient easily portable devices with which to store and read the information makes a huge difference. Even if you did have a laptop it was bulky and the screen was not particularly nice to read from. Heck, desktop screens were headache inducing compared to modern kit (imagine a goldfish-bowl like CRT, 14" diagonal, less because you shrunk the display to avoid the really rounded bit at the edge, 15" if you were lucky, 17" if you were rich, displaying at 640×480 or maybe 800×600 resolution (maybe 1280×1024, again: if rich), in 16 or 256 colour depth so no font smoothing, with a pretty low refresh rate) making reading the information from the book much more pleasant even if you did have a local online copy at your fingertips.

Those books tended to have three parts and you weren't expected to read them all cover to cover:

1. Fundamentals, which you would probably read fully unless you had a fair amount of relevant experience of similar languages/environments in which case you'd skim to pick out the key differences.

2. Specific parts in detail, which you would read some sections of but ignore others until you needed them later. This might include worked examples of using common parts of the standard library and so forth.

3. Reference detail. This might be half the book or more, maybe two thirds in some cases. This you would not read as such, you would use it like a dictionary or mini-encyclopedia. That is the part that makes least sense in the modern world.

If you want a really extreme example: I had a copy of the the MS's C/C++ compiler, the full documentation for included a printed reference to the Windows API of the time (Win 3.x era). IIRC that stack of books, piled on the floor, came up to noticeably more than half my height. The vast majority of that was tools and API reference material, though small chunks were intended for more end-to-end reading.

The huge books did seem to hang around beyond their really useful period. I don't think I bought a dead tree like that as late as 2010, so your “about 10 years ago” is probably when they were well past prime. Even in their prime there were some really terrible examples (poor tutorial sections, reference sections that were out of date before they were even published, and full of errors on top of that).
