I think the author's sentiment here is different. There's a personal subjectiveness when it comes to things like recipes. It could come down to the presentation (photos, narrative), an added ingredient in one that piques your interest and curiosity (a chili recipe with dark cocoa powder?!), or other subjective difference that is experienced differently by each of us.

The other aspect is mental bookmarking or "what ifs". Maybe I'll try this recipe this time, but I might come across other recipes I want to try some other time or I'll find an author that I really vibe with. That process of discovery is lost with LLMs today

This is indeed an ancient problem. I loved the 1992 Lisp FAQ comment by jjwiseman. :-)

Nim handles this with `closureScope` and `capture` ( https://nim-lang.org/docs/system.html#closureScope.t,untyped ).

It's debatable if anything non-automatic counts as a "fix".

Nim has for-loop macros that should make it possible to instead say `for i in captured(0..5): ...` or maybe `for closed(i) in 0..5: ...`. That might be a bit nicer, but would still be non-automatic. So, unnecessary qualifications can exist / persist.

Speaking of persistence, sometimes loop bodies evolve and the x:=x magic used to be needed but is no longer. Version control history might help decide if the extra step was unnecessary or vestigial, though it would surely slow things down (and perhaps run into intermediate uncompilable states of the code). No idea if David Chase and rsc looked at that aspect in their analysis.

yeah, you are very much at the mercy of the libs you use if you want full feature parity with, for example, libjpeg-turbo in the case of JPEG.

In the browser where supported, I guess loading="lazy" probably already works (i havent tried). I think a more advanced version where you can choose maybe a "staged" loading type, or some mechanism to choose the pass/frame to pause the network activity at so that you can control it further via JS would be nice. At a minimum it would be a feature enabling a preview and a reduced download for the full version. I can see many usecases where that could be useful.

Ah, don't get me started about these dark patterns.

Google Maps, the native Android phone app, behaves like a crappy website in navigation mode.

Google really wants to push the assistant, there isn't a way to completely disable it in Android, disable all shortcuts, basically make it go away.

So, in Google Maps, there's a Assistant bar at the bottom. That only pops up when you're in navigation mode, and "conveniently", slides up when you switch apps.

So if you're in another app and decide to exit navigation using the X at the bottom left of Google Maps... the Assistant button slides up and you accidentally press it.

Protobuf over UDP can use the UDP payload length. Likewise for the many variants of self-sychronising DLE framing (DLE,STX..DLE,ETX) used on serial links.

A varint length field prepended to protobuf messages (sent over a reliable transport, such as TCP) seems sane.

Bit of an aside, but I wonder if the rise of LLMs will lead to new programming languages being much slower to be adopted.

Like you said, you might have given up on F# without ChatGPT assistance, and the main way ChatGPT is able to help with F# is because of all of the example code it's been trained on. If developers rely more and more on LLM aid, then a new language without strong LLM support might be a dealbreaker to widespread adoption. They'll only have enough data once enough hobbyists have published a lot of open-source code using the language.

On the other hand, this could also leading to slowing adoption of new frontend frameworks, which could be a plus, since a lot of people don't like how fast-moving that field can be.
If you like type safety, this project would be perfect for using https://coalton-lang.github.io/ so your REPL supported Common Lisp out of the gate.
I'm impressed by the speed at which you've forked the project and brought up the new technical infrastructure. You mention that you are 'interim tech lead'; what does interim mean in this context, and what is the governance structure for future leadership (and presumably your replacement)? Will OpenTofu have a self-selecting board? Or will it be democratic by vote, and if so, have suffrage by membership, participation or something else? Maybe top-down BDFL appointed by the Linux Foundation?

I am curious because your Manifesto states that as a result of LF stewardship the 'community governs the project'. The LF is massive, with a much more extensive portfolio than most people think, and influential far beyond its staffing would indicate. There is a great range of governance models and community norms across its projects, and, as with many things in FOSS leadership, no easy answer to the question of which the best option is among those.

As tech lead, it is your responsibility to choose what model and venue OpenTofu will adopt to fulfil its promises sustainably; I hope and imagine that you have been given the authority to make these choices decisively. The stewardship of the Linux Foundation is not an automatic guarantee of success, and the resources that the LF can provide are significant, unusual in FOSS, and very difficult to use - and concerningly easy to abuse unless directed by clear leadership. I wish you all the best of luck in this challenging but exciting task, and am curious to discover how you intend to take this project forward into the future.

There is nothing new there from a technology aspect. What part of the drone didn't exist 20 years ago? Or 50? But I primarily meant on battery technology anyway. Until you have entirely new battery technology that will be compact, ultralight, safe, and long-lasting (at least a day or two of flight without recharge), drone deliveries will not be profitable.

It will serve the niche market, though. But that's not a multibillion-dollar market with a bunch of competitors.
I don’t use it for work but on every trip I am actually connecting “at home”. I have a WG server at home (you can use one glinet as an easy to configure VPN server) and a travel glinet as the client. Whenever I reach a hotel I connect the client glinet to the hotel hotspot (or cable), it connects to the home VPN, and all my devices connect to this client glinet WiFi and through that VPN tunnel. Everything is seamless with the only manual step being to connect the travel router to whatever internet pipe provided.

The Mango I have is on the slow side, specs say max 45Mbps over WG as a client, and I measured ~25Mbps when using a Mango as the server. But it’s tiny and very low power so perfect for travel.
You guys shot yourself in the foot by using Transcorp. They only have a presence in Punjab and with a smattering in Haryana, UK, and Delhi.

The target persona who would use this is probably in the Indo-American diaspora, which skews Telugu, Malayali, Kannada, and Tamil - and that too a mix of larger cities and smaller towns (the South Indian versions of Moga and Ludhiana such as Coimbatore, Thrissur, Warangal).

In my experience, Punjabi NRIs are tech averse and tend to head directly to the pind where you can still use cash, or stick with Chandigarh/Delhi, where credit card support is mainstream.

Re-pivot to target the more tech aware Indian diaspora in the US - they would be more open to adopting a "random" app (not to dunk on you guys - getting into YC is amazing, but it doesn't have street credit outside the Bay Area).

I recently read an post by the main curl developer about his troubles with a bogus CVE which was categorized as critical. The CRA's requires disclosing all vulnerabilities within 24h to a government agency. If your product uses any number of well known open source packages, there will always be new CVEs, most of which will probably not affect the security of the end product. I can't even imaging the burden it will place on companies, to have to justify whether or not each new "vulnerability" is or not relevant in front of a government body.

I suspect many will opt to use lesser known, proprietary components which are probably less secure but have less vulnerabilities reported.
No idea, not my script. Socat does support this kind of syntax, which would seem better suited in this case.

Similar to author's experience, I find increasing friction to access social media (or anything I want to restrict) is a good way to stop me fall into consume mode mindlessly.

There was a period of time in my life that I spent lots of time checking Imgur for meme and cute animal pics daily. I can just type "im" in browser address and press "enter" to consume whenever I want.

I "fixed" this addiction by removing Imgur from browser history so it would not auto-complete Imgur's URL. Since then, whenever I have urges to consume, this friction stop me from doing so. It has worked very well over the past few years.

100% agree with most of this, but I think the why can be dug into a little deeper. Under why comments I find they fit into two categories:

1) Why does the code exhibit behavior X? (~80%)

2) Why does the code do X this way? (~20%)

1 is usually a customer facing quirk which should be written down somewhere, but preferably not in the code directly. This stuff fits extremely well in tests which exercise the behavior ("why does a user get an ID before the creation of a ticket?"), in reference docs ("why country appears 3 times in this API schema") or in a glossary (e.g. a quirks section under the "admin user" wiki page). These explanations will get more eyes on them this way, will be more likely to be kept up to date and will be available to non developers.

2 should not be non-existent but should be rare. In practice I find 2s are almost entirely absent from most code bases because to the person writing the code it is obvious.

For 2, because of this, I find it's better to get somebody else to ask why and use answers to the whys on pull requests to write those comments: https://hitchdev.com/approach/communal-commenting/

So you think drones that require recharge (battery replacement) every 40-60 minutes and carry 1.8 to 2kg of cargo will replace a human? I don't think so.

I believe in autonomous drone delivery, which will probably be a reality one day. But the prerequisite for that is enormous advancement in battery technology. Nothing else matters if you can't fly a day or two without recharging.
I feel like such a jerk for not wanting to use chatgpt for all that. It's not just mild paranoia about feeding it input I prefer be kept private but I just don't enjoy having someone else do half the thinking for me I guess.

According to the California OAG press release: $93 million, plus injunctions which seem to be more about disclosures to users and internal oversight than actually allowing users to opt out of (or requiring opt-in consent before) tracking location.

> there isn't a way to completely disable it in Android

This is not true, as there is... just disable the Google app.

You will need to replace the launcher with the Nova launcher in the process, and will likely replace the search box with Firefox search. But the Google app and Assistant will be totally disabled and unavailable anywhere in the Android experience. If you find a link to it, it will ask to enable which you can decline.

I found this out by Google having placed me in some experiment earlier this year where my Pixel 6 Pro went from 24h battery life down to about 3h battery life. The battery was being drained by the Google app exclusively, and so without any fix or published workaround I set about disabling the Google app.

Overall this has been a huge improvement, my battery under near identical usage is now closer to 36h... and the Assistant not being present I have since viewed as a bonus (at the time I thought it a negative). I believe the issue is probably now fixed, but why would I go back when this is a better experience with more battery, disabling the Google app was like upgrading my phone.
