Australia is very interesting, because Canada’s plan here is somewhat derived from what Australia did (and Meta and Alphabet did get onboard there). Here’s the slightly different timelines that make all the difference. Australia:

- parliament drafts this legislation and starts debating it (public record)

- Meta blocks Aus news for 4 days and says “we have some changes we’d like to see if we’re going to play ball”

- bill is amended, Mets gets on board

- bill is passed

Canada:

- parliament starts debating the draft of the bill

- Meta says “we’d like some changes and we’ll stop doing Canadian news if we don’t negotiate this”

- Parliament passes the bill as-is

- Meta blocks Canadian news, as promised

- Parliament goes on holidays

- Media companies are sitting there going “oh noooooo not like this” as a significant amount of their traffic disappears

When an insanely profitable multinational company says “if you do X, we will do Y” to the parliament of a country of 35-odd million people, that government has to be insane or incompetent to think “they’re bluffing. Let’s call their bluff and go on holidays”

Don't competitions usually have completely different kinds of problems than what you typically run into in production fires? When I think of competitive programming I think of algorithms and puzzles, not network errors and data corruption.

In my experience production fires are rarely put out by rote algorithmic knowledge, the skill is more having a detailed knowledge of the inner workings of every layer of the system so that you can come to the right conclusion based on the very limited information available in the average production monitoring system.

Kind of a disappointing paper, really. Essentially zero details about their technique, just tables showing that, with the methodology they used, it does indeed achieve good results.

You quickly get a sense for what teams and even individuals are introducing the most bugs and issues.

I tried to explain Calibre to someone else and an analogy I came up with was "iTunes for ebooks" which I found to be quite accurate.

If Apple breaking up iTunes into different apps gives any hint about the shift in the way people manage their devices and contents and the general trends in software development, Calibre is probably not the ideal way for managing ebooks in 2023.

A business contract with AWS or O365 account carries a lot more legal weight, and they also have the support infrastructure to assist when an automated tool does something that needs to be assessed for reversal.

If something like this happened at AWS they'd nuke the services that were running and probably reach out to the account owner (if the automated service didn't do so as part of the nuke). The account owner's databases or Terraform scripts wouldn't be deleted by a set of EC2 instances being taken down.

AWS has its own problems but they do try and stay out of content moderation where possible through their "Shared Responsibility Model" (which also means they don't do things like backups for you).

Oh, this book!

I remember playing Wolfenstein and Ken's Labyrinth, and Doom, and wondering just how the heck it all was done. Then I came across a copy of this book in a "computer store" I was working at who couldn't (or wouldn't) pay wages. He told me I could have any book in the store for my work that day, and I grabbed this one on impulse.

I remember missing my stop on the bus ride home, because even though it was about flight sims, the algorithms and methods inside were about 3D programming - the very thing I'd been wondering about!

I never built a flight sim, but I _did_ build a rudimentary 3d game with the knowledge I gleaned from this book. There wasn't any collision on the walls, and the sprite-base object pickups with get corrupted randomly after a while, and I never really got the hang of doing matrix multiplications instead of geometric transforms, but this book cemented my love of programming at a point where I may not have really pursued it much more without an in-depth project to spur me on!
The approach the company I work for has taken, is that leads and managers are primarily coders.

I think this makes sense especially for smaller companies, but it does put a extra emphasis on hiring well. Basically, I'm expected to code and helping my team is secondary to that. If I want the team to succeed I need to hire people who are self motivated and competent enough that they only require a little guidance here and there.

Turns out that's very difficult to hire consistently for. Finding self motivated and highly skilled developers just isn't all that easy in todays climate of boot campers.

> Do you honestly believe that Joe Biden is not corrupt?

And I'll give you the same answer I gave before, but I'll try to be more succinct: the answer to that questions turns entirely on your definition of "corrupt". I have seen no evidence that Joe Biden has done anything materially different from what every U.S. politician does by necessity in order to remain employed. If that's "corrupt" then it is not possible to hold elected office in the U.S. without being "corrupt", which makes that not a very useful definition IMHO.

But this too is a non-sequitur, because the question was never whether Biden is "corrupt" or not, but rather whether he is, as Donald Trump often claims, the most corrupt president in U.S. history. I don't think there is any plausible definition of "corrupt" under which that is true. Indeed, I think that Trump is vastly more corrupt than Biden under any plausible definition of the word.

[UPDATE]

> he's been a paid tool of the Delaware financial industry for his entire career

I don't know much about the details of Biden's career, but I don't doubt that he's supported legislation beneficial to the financial industry and they have in turn spent generously to keep him in office. But is that "corruption" or "being responsive to his constituents"?

The thing I have not seen Biden do is use his power to enrich himself personally the way Trump and Thomas have done. That to me is a useful distinction, and a more appropriate deployment of the word "corrupt".
>”Hi, it was great to meet you and we had such a great time.”

Is it hard to believe that someone could have a great time with you but not see you as a future partner for themselves?

Maybe this visceral dislike for this style of communication is why? You’re entitled to your opinion and preferences as are they. If you’re willing to look past yourself, maybe that person thought you were too much, instead of too little. Maybe you were further down the road than they are and they want someone closer to where they are in the journey.

I’m simply stating that expressing praise for a thing doesn’t have to be clouded in ulterior motives like trying to prove you know better. You can simply reply back “Thanks, I had a great time too. If you ever change your mind or want to hang out again, give me a ring. If not, I hope you find your happiness, whatever that looks like for you.”

That’s a respectful reply.
I don't think he is apologist in sense that he is justifying Russia's actions, but his point is that Russia is too large force for Ukraine to fight without receiving devastating damage, and in his view Ukraine should've considered negotiating peace deal and give up some territories.
Globalstar doesn't support return messages. The Spot messengers have gotten less popular than Iridium ones partly because of that.

Also, Globalstar has worse reception than Iridium which is why iPhone have to be waved around.

Not consciously. But they think it's always going to match the time on the clock in their office / on their town hall / on their phone. No-one deliberately writes a time in the time offset corresponding to their local winter time for an event that will happen in their local summer time (or vice versa).

I don't know about "intuitive", but they want to write times in their local civil time.

And if someone is really doing something qualitatively unethical, it will often catch up with them. Be patient.

I called this idea "data-centric computing" in the 90's, though that has a different meaning, about memory organization in game development, these days.

Basically data records live free from applications, so for example you can make a pasteboard that contains an image, an email, a couple of contact addresses, a map, or whatever, without having to go into an image editor, an email app, etc to get the data, or to have to link/embed those apps as in microsoft's 90's OLE/COM object embedding stuff.

It differs from 'everything is a file', in that files contain a whole bundle of different data, and are 'opened' by a particular application or class of application, and are effectively a 'save state' of the application, whereas 'items' or data records or whatever are independent of any particular app; they have a type, and any app/tool that can deal with that type can operate on them.

I'm not from the US, so had no clue who Rangers are (are they like police?). To me, at first they looked like hire a cop from the festival. While it looked like the first Ranger truck started a dialog, another decided to go a more violent route. There are a few cuts in the vid there, so it's not clear how long dialog was tried or what happened during that time and how justified the violent end was.

Coming from a country where police are generally pretty chill unless really provoked, how this was ended seemed extreme to me.

The comments in the vid kinda scare me tbh. It'll all fun and games, till you're at the receiving end, or someone dies.
Yes, that's what happened: the first 2 drivers cancelled because they showed up 100 yards away from where my elderly friend was. Then I figured out exactly where my friend was and changed the pickup location to one small enough that Uber and my friend were unlikely to not be able to see each other, then the trip went smoothly.

I suppose Uber uses GPS data to guide the driver to the rider when GPS data is available from the rider's smartphone, but I'm glad that Uber doesn't insist on the presence of the GPS data or the smartphone.

They’re still valid even if you aren’t changing code.

The key there is caching your results. Don’t run unit tests for code that hasn’t changed.

They still serve the important purpose of checking validity of the code under test though, so if they do get modified downstream at some point and they fail you then know the changes aren’t conforming to expectations of the system.

This of course assumes people aren’t writing highly coupled tests and that is more rare than I wish it to be

When I removed the "one reason" restriction when directly sending the prompt to GPT-4 myself, it listed 9 possible reasons for terrible pancakes (of which leavening agent was one of them), all of which made sense based on my own experience of making American style pancakes.

I also tried translating the prompt into Mandarin while retaining the "one reason" restriction. Both Google Translate and GPT-4's translated versions did not receive "leavening agent missing" as an answer but instead were focused on cooking technique or other ingredients. Baking soda is very rarely used in home cooking in China, so perhaps training materials in Chinese had much less frequent mentions of it compared to English-based ones.

> Congress has had Democrat control many times over the decades, they could have pushed this through any time.

It's not that simple. A party's agenda will include several things they want to pass when they have a majority, with different priorities.

For many of the items on their agenda there will not be unanimous support within the party and there won't be unanimous opposition from the other party. The result is that for some of their agenda items they will have to get some support from the other party.

Those other party members, even if they actually like the majority party's bill, will be reluctant to go against their own party and support it because their party might retaliate, doing things like deprioritizing those members bills or giving them less important committee assignments. The majority party might have to offer those minority members some incentive to get their support, such as agreeing to support bills that those members are pushing even if those are against the majority party's agenda.

And so parties have to pick their fights. Making tax preparation easier is not something that a lot of voters care deeply about, and so doesn't become something that is worth pushing through through when you've got a small majority.

Every House seat is up for election every 2 years, and it is very common for a party that has both the presidency and majorities in both the House and the Senate to lose that House majority in the midterm election. You want to spend the time before that on your high priority items.
If you're letting HR who have no idea what they're doing, go from "a hundred CVs" to "two openings" you are bad at your job.

HR's job, like legal, or many other departments, is to facilitate what you actually do which in this case means work like chasing references and ensuring the candidates have somebody who can answer stupid logistics questions without bothering the interviewer, not figuring out who is the best fit for any particular job, that's the job of the people making the hiring decision.

Maybe if you're hiring fifty people to stand outside in the rain holding signs you can let HR pick who gets a job. Picking software engineers, especially if you actually care whether they're any good, is not the purpose of an HR department.
