Both went to MIT and Stanford respectively, then went on to be professional traders (Jane Street Capital); now, one wouldn't think that was all because of who their parents were, right? As in this only possible because of their own merit to be sure. That is how this system works, after all!

Honestly, I went to private school, and these idiots reminded me of the children of the affluent who were so irredeemably stupid that their parents will stop at nothing to hide their shame and just pay to have them have some role in a freinds company just to offload them.

It’s funny to focus on words that talk about “potentially” having an effect while ignoring the known magnitude of this potential. That quote taken out of context leaves you with the impression that these two factors are both significant contributors, or even roughly equivalent, but the reality is that one of those factors is much much larger than the other, and the other is negligible, and I’m sure you know which one is which.

“the Sun's energy output only changes by up to 0.15% over the course of the cycle, less than what would be needed to force the change in climate that we see. Also, scientists have not been able to find convincing evidence that the 11-yr cycle is mirrored in any aspects of the climate beyond the stratosphere – such as surface temperature, rainfall or wind patterns.“

You know. That actually highlights an understated risk of the Chromium monopoly.

What happens if Chrome... doesn't become evil, it's just mismanaged? What happens if the team loses personnel and gains too much tech debt? What happens if Chromium is run into the ground just by happenstance? I don't know, maybe they give it to a product manager, or they try Scrum or something.

It's a lot of influence to put in the hands of a single fallible team.

I would say my approach is fairly economical, if GGP doesn't want to justify their opinion on anarchism being the rule of the strongest with private property then I just wasted my time. I wouldn't be surprised if he considered anarchism as only anti-statist ideology, if he wrote that then indeed I would probably write something more about ideas that usually correspond to this ideology. On one hand I try to engage him, on the other indeed I do that confrontationally. I think this has advantages to writing a monologue abut what Anarchism means, or at least what it means to me.
You would need to spend at least a billion to clone him first - this whole project is moving forward because the man is an exceptional programmer.

Well at least you used the right word, even if you didn't intend that meaning.

If your OSS project has meaningful users, and a bus factor of one, it's already under those same risks every day you wake up, but it has the added risk of a malicious actor taking control of your account.

> I assume you didn't mean this comment to sound so dismissive, but that's definitely how it reads. Feels very much like your omitted preamble is "just do what GH tells you and don't complain".

> It would be nice to have something to send them to point out "here's where X% of your emails will go to spam if you don't do this, plus you're Y% of an annoyance on our mail server's reputation, too" but there's not any hard data to be found.

If you are going to offer CRM to your customers that relies on sending email, then I suggest you read more on how email works, and how SPF, DKIM and DMARC work.

None of the three mentioned standards are anti-spam. They are anti-impersonation. If you are hosting the CRM, and your CRM is going to send email on behalf of your customer's domains, then your customers will have to include your services in their SPF poliy at the very least. But since SPF is horribly broken and shouldn't be relied on, you should always offer DKIM as well.

At the very least, the email you send should be DKIM signed with the rfc5321 domain, which is your domain, the one that matches the reverse-DNS of your host (because you should always setup reverse DNS). If the CRM is hosted by you (not your customer) then you should also generate DKIM keys per customer domain, and have the customer publish the DKIM public key under their domain. This is because you want DKIM alignment, which is especially important if the customer domain uses DMARC (which they should).

So TL;DR: your customer has to allow your CRM to send email on behalf of their domain by means of SPF and DKIM. If the CRM is hosted by you, you'll need to take extra care of alignment. SPF and DKIM are never optional, don't offer your customer a way to skip these steps, ever. If you don't want to deal with email issues, use a third party solution such as Mailgun, but even if you do, your customer will still have to set up SPF and DKIM.

D is so fetch! In that as a better C, it's (probably) not going to happen.

Doesn't mean it isn't interesting and valuable to understand and clearly provides real utility for some folks. It's historical popularity indicates (to me) a lack in momentum that is common for tools that find enough of an organic following to stay active but never really break into the general zeitgeist of development.

What are folks XP who use or have used D in a non trivial project? Would you use it for work and feel comfortable handing that project over after you leave?
Ya prompt engineering can be a more difficult than it looks. Especially when dealing with less intelligent models.
That's why I recommend having an error checking stage were the model gives a model should be able to return a simple "True" or "Yes" when presented it's last response. This eats up more GPU time but the signal to noise ratio improves drastically.

> (pilots are instructed to ignore TCAS RAs in this situation)

Specifically, the ground proximity warning (as well as the stall warning) takes precedence over TCAS. This is just fine, since the "descend" aircraft in ground proximity will level off while the other climbs. You're not likely to find a condition where neither plane can deviate because the descender gets a ground proximity warning and the ascender gets a stall warning at the same altitude, since those are typically associated with aircraft flying close to their minimum and maximum altitude, respectively. You would need to have two aircraft flying level very close to the ground, at least one of them near its stall speed, which simply is not a flying condition used by commercial airliners.
Just to add some context, Micronaut 4 supports VTs (via the blocking scheduler), while Quarkus runs on Vert.x, which in turn runs on Netty. There’s also Helidon, in which Nima has become an alternative to Netty as a server.

This topic was also discussed by the Spring/VMware guys behind Reactor and Spring WebFlux, which also runs on Netty rather than Tomcat. So in this scope it’s interesting to see how JDBC and Tomcat adapt to VTs. In the end, asynchrony and fibers are different perspectives at concurrency management. What I hope is that most people use them as complementary approaches.

Lots of companies have used blocking Tomcat underneath and we’re content with it. With VTs they just got a free opt-in performance upgrade. Reactive streams have been perceived by many community members as something overly complicated. So VTs will most likely be warmly welcomed as soon as they trickle through to the production code bases. Most of the team leads I spoke with recently expressed a happy grin when talking about VTs in the context of their blocking codebases.

It's not charity, it's capacity planning but at a lower scale than before.

There's always a set of junior eng with high growth potential who are being trained to become senior. They will continue be hired, albeit with less simple work than before, because most companies do run scenario planning like "what if X left who is our backup".

The juniors who are not expected to ever grow to that level would no longer be sought out for simpler tasks as those tasks will be automated away.

Net impact is fewer total engineers, but those who remain are at a higher level of average skill.
Why would you take a junior then as an apprentice if they won't generate any value at all?
Write your legislators and tell them it's unfair for Google to control the web's leading browser.

Google dominates web search, controls mobile as part of a duopoly, pays the other mobile provider to feature their search, dominates mobile advertising, ranks websites based on ads and chrome performance, increasingly takes over functionality from the websites they index, etc.

They use their money and power to transform the web into a platform they own and control with AMP, Manifest v2, WEI, WHATWG, and repeated attempts to kill the URL bar.

Chrome is a key instrument of their monopolization. Their business units need to be carved up, and Chrome needs to go its separate way, kept apart from search and ads.

Maybe the ultimate solution is to make people pay. As in microtransactions

Human or bot is not really the problem, spam is the problem, and bots makes spam so cheap that admins can't deal with it. So, bots are banned. Human spammers can still get in, and you can pay people to solve captcha, but humans are more expensive, so there are less of them and moderators can deal with them.

If we had people (or bots) pay a few cents to access a service, it could be enough to keep spam to a manageable level.

The problem is, people don't like to pay, and unlike with phone numbers, the web doesn't have a good microtransaction architecture so behavioral analysis it is.

The proposed policy splits the current bill into two part, it reduces the existing per kWH price to add the surcharge price. With solar you sell your excess generation to the utility at the per kWH price, so with the new policy the utility will pay you less. On top of NEM 3.0 already reducing what the utility pays for solar, these projects won't make financial sense anymore.

I hope Comcast and others like it go bankrupt.

> Bragging that you can't understand the difference between useMemo and useCallback after reading the docs (one is general memoization and the other is function-specific) isn't a dig at the framework so much as an indictment of the author.

Yeah, it is fairly obvious (though, to be fair, it wouldn't hurt to point it out) that:

useCallback((...args) => {

is effectively identical to:

useMemo(() => (...args) => {

Pretty good Mathologer video about continued fractions:

One neat trivium I like to quiz the mathematically-minded on is: what number is the most irrational, i.e., toward which number do rational approximations converge the slowest?

The answer can be determined from continued fractions and is discussed in the video near the end.

> Of course, eventually, the build systems themselves were overcomplicated and messy

True. On the other hand people are now rapidly waking up to the fact that the promised simplicity of having real module systems running in the browser (and ideally federated at that) introduces a ton of complexity (not to mention performance problems) compared to simply having a bundler even when you have to deal with code splitting.

It's also easy to miss how rapidly React influenced the space. Because React was so narrowly defined (i.e. it didn't bring any state management or styling - I remember it being called "just the V in MVC") a ton of other libraries sprung up around it and it even led to a short rise in popularity of otherwise very niche reactive functional programming DSLs and arguably helped sparking interest in reactive programming in general, such as RxJS (which has since seen and ebb and flow of popularity in Angular).

The only people in the National Socialist German Workers Party who believed in something resembling a form of socialism were those supporting Strasser and he and his ilk were amongst the first killed during the party's purges.

There's even a famous political cartoon of Hitler emphasizing the words Socialist and Workers for one crowd (blue collar) and National and German for the other (aristocrats). A more sophisticated quip might have been "what about National Bolshevists?" (aka "nazbols") but the short answer to that too is that if you try and add some red to your brown, it's still just another brown.

Yea, I remember using Bayes filtering back in the early 2000s and it was very effective. Pretty sure it was in the SpamAssassin perl application.

One thing we saw that was more problematic is spams getting shorter and the use of image only spam. Turns out a lot of human to human communications is just short single sentence blurbs between people. We saw a lot of junk spam that didn't really have a call for action, but seemed to exist just for the purpose of making Bayes classification more difficult and error prone.

Why bother with conversion to JSON directly from the LLM instead of a simpler format (eg line separated) that you then convert into JSON normally?
For me it's the opposite really. Every time I touch Linux, I'm overwhelmed by how messy it is. I spent hours upgrading an old Ubuntu box serving as a Ubiquity UniFi Controller and ended up in some kind of dependency hell. While trying to fix all that, disk space ran out. Then I had enough, whiped the whole thing and in 5 minutes installed the FreeBSD base system. A handful of binary packages and a couple of edits to config files later everything worked perfectly. It all feels so clean, with a minimal number of processes running.
> Why is this treated as a specifically Russian tendency?

Because everyone in that part of Russia understand and feels that honor-based reaction. The Southern US also has a history and reputation of honor-based communities.

The difference is that in the US, most people do not think this way, and there is a cultural tendency towards accepting and understanding differences with your neighbors, or at least signaling such.

---

I think that honor based societies do not do a good job at understanding change. The problem is that the opposite of honor is guilt/shame, and that emotional reaction heavily masks the facts of the situation.

It may be a difficult and foreign concept (It's difficult for me), but reading about guilt-free organizations is very interesting to me. The thing that was hardest for me was understanding that guilt and responsibility are different things.
