The Amiga was an amazing systems and the best choice they had available to them at the time but...

it's easy to forget it lacked memory protection. That's one of the design decisions that made it run so well on the limited hardware of the time.

It also meant that if one of your multitasking programs went down there was a very high likelihood it would bring the rest of the system down too.
Exactly - "scraping" is the final resort when sites don't make data available via an API. It's almost exactly synonymous with "parsing HTML".
> Raku looks very horrifying if you want to actually do anything practical.

Why so? Raku is practical, I have a solid experience of doing a lot of practical things with it. It has all battery included things - type checking, overloading, named/typed function parameters, oop, functional programming - what else you need? Python seems awkward for me in comparison with Raku with all that features ...
While interesting, very little of the content is Late Roman. Hard to see why it was tagged as such.
> But I do think this purist perspective on open source is just going to result in more Snowflakes and fewer Hashicorps, because why bother with this fight?

Orgs like Hashicorp clearly think they benefit by pretending to be open source.

They could simply stop being disingenuous about their source available proprietary software, and nobody would stop them.
I find it pretty insane to argue that the human mind isn't somehow exceptional considering we're currently communicating through devices and massive infrastructure require centuries of research produced by those minds.
Tangential, but is there a way to annotate an expression as non-nullable? In TS we have `expression!`, but in Python we have to `assert var is not None` after `var = fn_that_returns_str_or_none`.
In Australia the people once owned their own power grid.

But then successive governments bought into the Neo-Liberal scam and sold it to their mates.

And (of course) any investment in new technology promptly stopped, and prices have (of course) risen dramatically.

If we had maintained community ownership of our power generation, the old style Coal powered generators would have gradually given way to Solar and Wind power, as the technology increasingly became more efficient and affordable. It would have been so painless and progressive that we would have barely noticed it.
Hey there! Love the concept of Blinkn.shop as a "shopping buddy", I often find myself combing through a lot of irrelevant products on Amazon - something an LLM could easily filter out.

Tried the beta, but it doesn't seem to be working right now. Eager to see it in action soon. Keep it up!
The internet of today is awesome, it largely just works. Mountains out of molehills people.
There is a republic somewhere there. Though the text itself lacks certain coherence and a main focus beyond listing people and some details around them.
You are right businesses don't care about the stack unless they have already setup a stack. Then next time they would want to hire someone experienced in that.

They won't go for generalist. Even though they might be using that resource to jump on different tech stack which was not even mentioned in the JD.

Means they hire specialist of one domain and then use them to work on other domain as well.

But they will be reluctant to hire generalist from the start.
More than anything else, I'm bothered by Cloudwatch's pricing. $3/dashboard/month when it's essentially just a JSON config? $0.30/metric/month, with the risk of a junior engineer easily being able to add one line of code that 1000X or more multiplies your AWS bill?

And then tie in how some AWS services only a binary choice between logging ridiculous volumes of data or nothing at all (looking at you, AppSync) to make the log ingestion fees high too.
That sounds like a great idea! Difficult to see any significant downsides. OTOH checking out a branch and doing a commit involves slightly more friction that just clicking some links. I probably wouldn't bother if I had GitHub or Gitlab set up. But if I was starting a new company and didn't have them set up yet this sounds like genius.

I guess you can do a similar thing with issues just by having a folder of markdown files for each issue and appending comments to them.

If some conventions could be agreed you could have GUI support.
Maybe if it was available on PC or as a web site... given it's just an Android/iOS app, I'll skip.

> It doesn't seem to be the kind of traditional Wipeout game where you start off with slow ships on slow maps and unlock more as you work your way up.

IIRC there isn't a lot to unlock. There's one or two locked ships and a bunch of paint jobs. It does have a Wipeout-style campaign (left-most menu option). Each set of races in the campaign mostly resolves around a different set of three maps with various modes and variations, getting faster and faster.
Linda Yaccarino pressed about the chaos on X. She seems detached from reality
You can’t use the App Store Safari extensions on webviews.

They’d have to add their own content blocking list, much like they did with Firefox Focus.
Chrome is, and majorly was, pushed by Google websites. Using one near monopoly to create another.

Also, Firefox never defeated Internet Explorer. You are misremembering that. Firefox once made impressive market gains despite the anticompetitive competitor bundling. That doesn't mean it's feasible to keep doing it.
For the most part, the bugs we've seen in recent history can be handled at the kernel level - there's largely no need for applications to care about them (browsers to an extent being a counterexample, but even then if you disable hyperthreading it can basically be ignored at the browser level). The floating point division bug was something that every single application would need to have handling code for. From a "What is the worst case outcome", the Spectre family of bugs may win. From a "What is going to require the most engineering effort to fix in software", fdiv would probably have been a much bigger deal.

Nice example! I also did some reading in the mean time, and I guess for a 17th century definition of "art", a well-written algorithm that does the job efficiently and is easy to reason about would even classify as art. I quite enjoyed the book "Beautiful Code" for this kind of stuff.
I tried https://github.com/google/git-appraise-web, with a review made only locally, not pushed to the remote, but it doesn't seem to work. Did I miss something? I went up to accepting the request, so the command line is working, but the web GUI - at each step - only shows a closed request [0], and clicking on it gives an empty page.

No, no git magic. Just source code changes. One commit with the whole review that contains fixes and maybe a few questions. Then a commit from the PR author on top of that that adds explanations and/or fixes for the questions.

Maybe the key required for this is that you have reviews where, if code prompts a question, then more often then not the code should change. At the very least to explain briefly why this approach was chosen over another approach.

If you have code reviews from developers with differing skill levels and the response to the question is just an explanations how the language or framework works then this might become a bit cumbersome (because you have to leave the comment to reply and then remove the whole discussion before merging)
Well, apparently the person who made it said they can't do another run like the previous as they made zero money off it.
My main problem with labbing is the noise (I live in an apartment). His servers are mostly small PCs, so I think the most power draw is from the disk drives. If you need the storage, say for the cameras and whatnot, I'm not sure that running a laptop instead would save that much power.
If one could as easily locate to the US as to many European or Asian countries, then I don't think people would have an issue with it.
The reality of US immigration being such a f up means most founders (especially us older ones) just can't be bothered.
For this analogy to work, it also needs to include the professor advertising their course and attracting good-will primarily on the basis of their generous policy, and then bait-and-switching involved participants when they later decided they didn't like it.

They removed it. It was one good thing about Firefox mobile and they removed it.

Now please bring back the old UI and fix other issues you broke with that update (so the window that shows tabs so it doesn't forget where its position was, or make external video player work again) and I might switch back.
I live in a country where there’s a lot of stigma about therapy, but I really loved my experience with it.

In my first session I discovered a huge sticking point of mine. I go and do something for self-care like gym or a massage, but the entire time I feel guilty because my wife’s home with kids.

It was obvious when I realised it, but it happened for years prior.

Niw my experience during these activities js so much better.

P.s. Whenever I see a headline with all lower case letters I immediately like it more. Lol
Neumann’s Computer and The Brain book is way out of date in terms of today’s hardware, but funnily it is still relevant in this metric. Biological systems are more analogous to a distributed system of small, very slow CPUs. Even GPUs that somewhat close the gap in-between the few, crazy fast CPUs vs the aforementioned many, slow ones - are still much faster than any one neuron in calculations, but are still overly serial. It is not the number of CPUs, but the number of their connections that make biological systems so powerful.
Cicero was one of the central figures of the Late Republic (or at least made sure he was seen as such, while others decided the actual fate of Rome). What’s your objection here?
Meetings typically consume 20-30% of a developer's time. I don't see how AI can help there. Something like this might be possible if you're a lonely hired gun, but I doubt it. Even three projects with more than four team members would be a nightmare, in my opinion.
> Mozilla shows utter disdain for their users with just about every announcement, update, new feature or new restriction

This is absolute hyperbole. Have you forgotten the context? You're on a story about full extension support being implemented, which is exactly what you wanted.
The OSI Open Source Definition and the FSF Free Software Definition are for most practical purposes identical (and most licenses meet both or neither); historically, the Open Source and Free Software communities have somewhat different reasons for preferring the same thing, but the things are the same.
German here who was 13 in the 90s - while I'd heard of several people (and friends of mine) who drank alcohol at 13, it was a lot more common at 15 (but mind you, we're allowed to legally drink beer with 16, so I don't consider drinking beer at 15 a big deal). All mostly middle class children who went on to go to uni, maybe the occasional outlier with a less than normal home situation.

They did want to see government IDs in shops, but I guess that highly depends on the shop or your exact location.

TouchID?

Display on latest M2s?

Maybe.

The list goes on and they still say things will be ready by next month on M1 and M2.

Don't get me wrong, I'm supporting the effort through donations but why do open source developers running on best effort development need to set toxic deadlines and expectations upon themselves?

A simple "it will be ready when it's ready" would do. Now they are under pressure because of this fabricated "in one month" time limit. Good software is rarely built under pressure, so just take your time and do things properly please.

When mankind had become corrupted in the period preceding the flood, God said: 'My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh; his days shall be a hundred and twenty years' (Gen. 6:3).

This probably dates back to the early bronze age or even the neolithic. For all the hype it seems human biology hasn't changed since the appearance of humans.
From the Wikipedia entry for "data scraping":

> the key element that distinguishes data scraping from regular parsing is that the output being scraped is intended for display to an end-user, rather than as an input to another program

Snapshotting JSON files can be incredibly useful, but I don't think you should call it "scraping".
> Also, I advise leaving a place that requires your manager to dictate which tickets you work on. Sounds like a crappy place to work.

Would that not depend greatly on the type of ticket and the type of developer? In my experience some developers are happily working on tickets with minor impact while there are high priority tickets, where a customer is really losing money, which get no attention from them.
From where I am standing, no one cares they exist.

I'll always love Mozilla, or at least some fictional idealized version of it, so I'm stuck being increasingly disappointed in Mozilla while holding out for the times they do something right.

I wonder if this person works in IT? I’m a dev lead, I do silly amounts of hours and when I actually have a decent amount of free free time up my sleeve, the last thing I want to do is tinker with my homelab.
Just for record, I'm not with you as far as the anti-mozilla stance. That being said, what's stopping you (or anyone) from funding a team that continues to work on firefox within the same fork, rather than potentially duplicating their work? Is your impression that mozilla's ideology would prevent that other team from doing meaningful work or going in a direction that you believe they need to go?
Yeah I was wondering the same. Why tf does this need to be on the latest MacOS?
It's unfortunate that you blame Waste Management, a private company that is simply doing what they are paid to do (or not doing what they aren't paid to do). If you are expecting them to do something that you or your city hasn't paid them to do, how is that possibly right of you?

I was at a ComicCon in Rome, Italy, circa 1999, anyway Half Life just hit gold production and released multiplayer demos there were at least 20 people all playing on lan multiplayer half life, with mouses too! Crazy.

I went to many many lan parties since then up to 2005, then online match making killed quakenet and socializing.

I'm not sure if open sourcing .NET is the best bit to put on your resume when Microsoft has been sabotaging the developer ecosystem to keep VS relevant. [1]

Not that I don't appreciate the effort. I'm sure what has been achieved involved a fair share of convincing too.

Improve? Sure. Improve enough to produce something in the order of millions of lines of code, maintaining internal consistency and implementing a well-thought, efficient and fault-tolerant software architecture? I don't see it happening in the short/medium term.

There's a fascinating book containing short first-person accounts of living through the industrial revolution called Pandaemonium: Coming of the Machine as Seen by Contemporary Observers edited and with notes by Humphrey Jennings. It covers 1660-1886, and it's one of the few books that genuinely blew my mind. It's extremely accessible because of the first-person nature of the accounts, and I think one of the reason it's so compelling is that you can feel the change sweeping through so many aspects of daily life. I find it a very interesting lens through which to look at the current digital revolution.
I think this has some drawbacks because it seems to require a lot of discipline from all the parties, to keep the source code clean once you are ready to merge and even if you have some presubmit checks if a human makes a mistake and has some typo in the comment, that might end up in the main branch. Ideally all the new changes are small but that's not always possible and the larger the change the higher the probability to leave comments around. I agree it's not the end of the world but such things do add up over time and if you are in a big shop things will definitely get messy, it's just a matter of time.
It seems it scratches the same itch as a model railway.
Agreed. Compiler toolchains belong in version control. This doesn't make total sense for "libraries" on GitHub. But for anything corporate and closed you should 1000% commit full toolchains in source control. Builds shouldn't use anything from the local environment.

Of course Git kinda sucks and isn't good at hosting toolchains. So I'm putting a heavy emphasis on "should".
