How do people who consider themselves as problem solver fair in the industry?
Earlier in my career I had heard that there are people in tech industry who aren't restricted to one technology and they will produce the best product irrespective of tech stack.

And they won't have any problems switching to a different stack to solve the issue or achieve their target.

Now every job requires a specific year of exp in 1 or 2 tech stacks. But the people I'm talking about are generalist.

Is there still a demand for these guys?
also returns now, who cares about the future of the company or other investors. Short-term thinking is like taking poison in exchange for a golden coin.
Who would use unsafe Java to write "security-critical" software?
Unfortunately though, this was likely good advice.

The yandex source code leak revealed that keyword proximity to root domain is a ranking factor. Of course, there’s nearly a thousand factors and “randomize result” is also a factor, but still.

SEO is unfortunately a zero sum game so it makes otherwise silly activities become positive ROI.

which of the companion pieces are you also dismissing without reading?

Do you feel this way about every paper in The Astrophysical Journal or just these papers that appear in Volume 952 Number 2, 2023 August 1st ?
Would be better to extend to use Llama 2 and break itself away from an open ai dependency. However I think this is striking in the right direction with LLM, embed them in a goal based agent framework with a variety of abilities and available actions that are mediated by planners, optimizers, constraint systems, etc, using the abductive capabilities of LLM for providing the abstract semantic glue and delegating other functions to classical AI and algorithms.

I always find it weird people are obsessed with LLMs being unable to solve quadratic equations or recite pi to some digit or play chess. That’s not the interesting abilities they demonstrate, and we already have techniques that do those tasks as good as you would ever need or want. But we have never had something that can operate in a natural language space and “reason” in that abstract space so effectively. That language alone is sufficient to bring out such amazing capabilities is cool, and mixing models and techniques using LLM as a glue between them will be (IMO) where they really change things.
If the project leads can agree to a shared vision - which frankly should be similar considering the scope of the projects - it's most likely better if they merge.

Open Source projects never have enough resources and splitting them into 2 clone projects is generally not great.

I know about competition but it's not like Vim/Neovim, programming text editor, is lacking in competition even without the other side of the fork :-)
Oof this is going to require some painful changes. Luckily, there are some other great mocking libraries for dotnet. One that I've always been tempted to use was FakeIt Easy.

Depends how good the search is. Google doesn’t seem to want to provide me proper results anymore, even very basic image search tasks on google now net you only about 20 results all of which are wrong or useless. Yandex image search actually works.

If you don’t want me to use the Russian tech that helps me get my job done then roll back the Google Search codebase 10 years to when it worked as well as Yandex does today. (Only partially joking)
It runs as quite lean JS on the frontend. If I’m not mistaken, Blazor targets WASM with huge binaries that may prevent its use in certain cases.
Well that's funny, since I intended to use some for backups.
Glad to hear it. Note how it can also re-style elements, eg restoring the old (non-bold) Youtube titles

www.youtube.com##h3.title:style(font-weight: 400 !important;)

or un-float navbars:

! Disable floating navbars
nytimes.com##.live-blog-above-main-content:style(position:absolute !important)
latimes.com##header[data-element=header]:style(position:absolute !important)
wired.com##.persistent-top:style(position:absolute !important)
vice.com##.nav-bar:style(position:absolute !important)

You can even run a selection of scripts from a built-in library.[0] For instance, to disable Youtube rollover previews (including network traffic), you can interrupt the event handler with addEventListener-defuser:

www.youtube.com##+js(aeld, /^(?:mousemove|pointermove|pointerenter|mouseenter|mouseleave)$/, buttons)

This looks really weird to me. I very much doubt this can be made into something practically useful.

Have you seen Unison[1]?

Unison seems like a much more interesting approach to making functions "serializable" and functional programming acquiring distributed capabilities almost transparently.

If I was convinced of the Edge I would use this. I tried to challenge this concept because I don't like the Edge hype. But I must say, this looks like one of the best solutions in terms of cost, simplicity and maturity (PG, SQlite). The major downsides are the limits in data size and the SQL features. Overall I think it's really well thought out and done.
This is why it's important to consult multiple speed tests, because it's not really a general "internet speed test", rather a "connection speed test" with a particular server.

Everyone puts off estate planning in general for obvious reasons (most people don’t want to think about their own mortality) all the more so, most don’t give a thought to digital estate planning, it’s especially hard because there are very few resources to do it and most apps/websites don’t have that workflow planned out (Afaik, really only Facebook does anything for this).

My wife and I share a password manager account so theoretically she should have access to every site I use, but will she know where to go? Will she have any clue how to maintain our local self hosted services? Let alone the hardware?

I’ve walked her through restarting the esxi server and ssh’ing into the main docker server to restart it, but I haven’t documented any of this anywhere for her…
I hope both Vim and Neovim extend olive branches (and Git branches where it makes sense! :-D ).

Even if the fork doesn't heal, if they could align the code bases to bring them closer, both sides win.
And the other way around, if they throttle Netflix then that'll show up in the speed tests.
Very nice but the article could do without using the term "standard model".

We had a situation where we had to use monitoring software to try to catch a very random issue that we suspected was user error, but the user was very obstinate it was a system error.

The software we found, the "features" are abhorrent in my opinion - the screen recording was what we purchased for, and we disabled everything else.

Thing is, we've discussed this with the specific employee involved and shown them exactly what we can see, and exactly what we can't see. Informed them that only I can see the data and will only use it when that specific problem is reported.

Watching seems to have reduced the incidence of the error, it was happening once or twice every 3 weeks, but it's not happened within the past 7 weeks at all.

It's "saved" us about 5k so far, so I can see why it's attractive.
Yes, and there's things like feedback / reflection, self-modifying like behaviour, lossy memory, emotional state, tiredness, aging, loads of drugs & hormones to influence the process, etc, etc.

Buuuttt... it's possible that few if any of those things are needed to capture the essence of a brains' functionality.

Maybe it's simply a matter of size. Maybe some configuration tweaks. Perhaps a different architecture.

We simply don't know - yet.
If the results are correct, it means that extreme weak field gravity laws are actually in need of modification. I'd be very surprised if any existing variant of MOND got it right, but it would still mean that the premise of MOND is correct, which would be a huge deal.
My brother passed away very suddenly a few years ago, and I was put in charge of wrapping up and archiving his "digital" life. We were very lucky that we had access to a recovery email for his main gmail account (as well as a couple of passwords that his partner knew) and was able to access and archive virtually all data we could think of (services like Google Takeout were invaluable). I realized that if this had happened to me, it would have been virtually impossible to do, as all my passwords and credentials are in my password manager, and the password to that was only in my head.

It's a good thing to plan for this eventuality, to make it easy for your family and friends to wind up your "digital life" after you've passed. 1Password has a very good solution for this, with a "recovery document" you can print out and write down your password on, which contains instructions anyone else would need to access your 1Password account. I gave a copy of this document printed out to a small number of people I trust implicitly.

You never know when something sudden can happen to you. For the sake of those you leave behind, it's a nice gift to plan for this eventuality, even if it seems far off at the moment.

What a waste of money and carbon footprint, it's not like you can randomly turn up at a mental hospital, and then do anything useful, so you are then paying to uber home, again, and the 2 wasted trips that have done nothing of use to anyone for all the fuel, microplastics and pollution those trips cost.

edit: it would be more beneficial just to give the money to some random homeless person than line Uber exec pockets for 'nothing'.

> There are exactly nine spacecraft that humans have ever flown in. Only the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo programs really accumulated any kind of experience

From the "classic" era:

Mercury: 6 crewed flights. [1]

Gemini: 10 crewed flights. [2]

Apollo: 15 crewed flights (including Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz missions). [3][4][5]

Vostok: 6 crewed flights. [6]

Soyuz: 147 crewed missions (and counting). [7]

There have been four generations of Soyuz [8], so it's unclear whether it should be counted as one, four (or more?) spacecraft types. That doesn't include China's derivative,

Shenzhou: 11 crewed flights. [9]

Moving on to modern times, we have

STS: 135 crewed flights (counting orbital only). [10]

Dragon 2: 10 crewed flights and counting. [11]

Counting Apollo's LEM but not different Soyuz generations as a separate spacecraft gets us to 9, but out of those, it's STS and Soyuz which stand out as having accumulated most experience.

And all that's ignoring space stations, which arguably are spacecraft too and easily account for the bulk of time spent in space by humans [12][13]:

Salyut: 6 orbited, 34 crewed visits.

Skylab: 1 orbited, 3 crewed visits.

Mir: 1 orbited, 39 crewed visits.

Tiangong: 3 orbited, 10 crewed visits.

ISS: 1 orbited, 88 crewed visits.

Man, I really hate platform specific podcasts that require a special player or account. Spotify in general seems to be “bad” about taking an open podcast out out through an rss feed that was playable anywhere and making it exclusive.

It’s a tale as old as time, but it’s the inconvenience of upsetting an ingrained personal habit (open podcast player, look for new episodes) and having to add an extra step (open Spotify, look for new episodes).

This is good for Spotify but bad for users. I want to organize my information and optimize my behavior. Not do dumb, unnecessary steps because it makes Spotify more money.

> Where do the angle brackets come in?

The angle brackets are syntactic sugar for word quoting.

<a b c>

is syntactic sugar for:

("a", "b", "c")

They can be used standalone. Or as postcircumfix on hashes:

%foo<a> # the value of key "a" in hash %foo
%foo<a b c> # the values of keys "a", "b", "c" in hash %foo

There's a lot more to it than that, but that's the gist of it.

This goes both ways. Depending on organizationally managed services results in tools that are honed for institutions. Having self-hosters in the mix generates demand for simplified products that can offer equivalent capabilities with a minimum of effort and oversight. This potentially shifts the entire tool development ecosystem toward humans instead of large groups that have effort to spare.

One corner case is that b() might use variables that are initialized further down in the file. Some languages, such as Javascript, lift function definitions to the top so you can call functions defined below you, but it's harder to do the same for variables. In a compiled language it should be possible to detect this at compile time, but it's fiddly and more complicated than having a main function.
