His modern stuff is more... eh.

E.g. I thought there were a lot of flaws in his early-war "NATO can't supply X, because Russia will threaten nukes" positions, as he completed ignored the obvious opposite "Russia can't escalate, because NATO will threaten nukes"

The airflow differences between airplanes and cars are pretty significant, much higher near ground level and much lower at altitude, so they're kind of a different beast than a static generation setup.

Oh for sure, but again, it’s an engineering decision and shouldn’t be considered part of the design system.
Maybe I just glance over them now, but I don't see any ads in Windows at the moment? My start menu just has the applications I installed. Notifications are just from my apps.

Out of curiosity how far back are you choosing to go to designate something as a tribal land?
I spent decades not understanding music theory and thinking of music as a sequence of notes, and I never understood why music notation and the layout of a piano were so bizarre. It just seemed like something that we were stuck with due to tradition and lack of innovation.

Ever since I started learning something about music theory (just in the past couple years... I'm far from an expert), I've realized that both sheet music and the piano layout are both very clever in unexpected ways that, as you point out, make the music notation both expressive and more compact than a straight timeline of linear note values, because they lean on the fact that sections of music tend to skip very predictable parts of the range of notes. They tend to use them in particular patterns that make it useful to reduce your focus to a subset of the available range at any given moment.
What was the money spent on? Could it possibly cost that much to maintain a browser?
Here are the results of running several Scheme implementations on a set of common benchmarks:

A few years ago Racket switched to using Chez for its implementation. The lead for Racket (Matthew Flatt) seems pretty happy with the new Chez base: he and the team were able to reduce the total amount of code while at the same time improving performance. Here's the experience report from a few years ago:

I feel that LLMs and other neural networks are really just small pieces of what might someday make up an intelligence, like a virtual Broca's area. It is remarkable what you can do with language alone but the idea that an intelligent system would rely solely on language seems misguided.

Does this use a TUI library or does it directly implement the console I/O?
Vercel/Guillermo Rauch are really onto something

It's established that cloud is paying a premium for not having to hire: but they've gone a step further and started testing the limits of how much you can overcharge on top of cloud pricing for good DX

Clerk.dev (another investment of his often pitched along side Vercel) follows a similar model, and almost without fail if I see a Vercel sample pushing a SaaS, Rauch is usually listed as an investor
Because that would eat into profit margins, and at the end of the day very very few paying customers actually make their purchasing decisions based on security. On top of that almost nobody is really knowledgeable enough to make an informed decision in the first place. So the money doesn’t get spent.
Perhaps a better question is what Mozilla is wasting all that cash on - it's not going to Firefox development, afaict.
Tribes were sovereign, signed treaties that enshrined sovereignty—within limits,to be sure—and continue to exercise that sovereignty. Nothing is being handed over, it’s always been there.

Interestingly the idea that tribal membership is based on ancestry originated with Europeans and (white) Americans, more than native tribes. Historically (generalizing wildly), tribal membership is about citizenship in a community much more than it is about who ones’ grandparents were. Blood quotient was a US legal concept that reflected the American fondness for racial categories. A Navajo friend has Scottish and Arab ancestors who’d married into the tribe, just to give an example. Or check out _The Unredeemed Captive_, for a practice that would make no sense if tribal membership were racial.

Communities often want to continue as communities, in a way that’s only possible with self-determination. That can land as either a left- or a right-flavored interest, depending on who’s asking and the overall context. But it’s too big a part of human nature to brush aside.

From what I've heard (rumours but it makes sense) it is mostly an evolved version of the "The Raymond Chen Camp and The MSDN Magazine Camp" conflict Joel described back in 2004 [1]. The exact issues are mostly different, but you still see echoes (traditional file explorer vs. UWP file explorer).

I agree that this is happening " an arms race between youtube forcing creators to make videos 8 mins long min to be able to get mid roll ads and people coming up with ways to summarize the transcript." Along the same line: I have been thinking about how my Summary Cat might mean for the content creators. How would it impact their income?

Your "use the summarizer to re-cut the videos" is fantastic!

Leaving aside whether the number of deaths claimed by the article is correct, it is incorrect to directly compare deaths of infants with those of the elderly.

Absolutely. i so often do a search and it presumes to think it knows what i want rather than giving me what I ask for, sometimes even when I'm being quite specific. I will say it does a great job for programming stuff but a lousy job whenever I'm researching economics topics.
Native tribes are and have always been sovereign entities, that didn't end with European colonization. The degree to which the US government acknowledges this has varied over time, obviously, but as recently as the SCOTUS case on the Indian Child Welfare Act (Haaland v. Brackeen[0,1]), it has at least recognized that sovereignty exists.

> Because your code might not need to care about the position you insert your A or B

This is understandable. But what does it have to do with "collapsing" `a | a` into `a`? Throughout your post I think you're talking about plain untagged union types but that's something the guy I've been replying to already ruled out.
Position problem can be handled beautifully by variants based on row polymorphism, such as in OCaml or PureScript. There you can access the fields not by their position but by a key, like keys in objects in JS, meaning that they don't have to be ordered at all. It's like an inverse of a struct: in a struct all fields/keys are guaranteed to exist, but in a variant only one of them exists. Due to row polymorphism they can also be extensible. You can even "handle" a particular field/key and remove it from the type but keep all the other ones and delay handling them.

> you also might not care whether it's an (encoding as) Either<A,B> or SomeoneElsesEither<A,B>

This is a theoretical issue but in practice I don't think I've ever seen anyone using some non-standard Either-like datatype in languages I've dealt with. Where Either needs to be used people just use Either.

> and you also don't want to have to deal with flattening nested Either's as in the example

What would "flattening" mean here? Fundamentally there are only 2 operations you can do on a generic sum type like this: either inject a value (construct the type) or try to get the value at a certain position. You might also think pattern matching will get tedious, but that's not the case either, you can just have a function `actOnAorBorC` and call it with `actOnA`, `actOnB` and `actOnC` and do the pattern matching inside these functions.

There is certainly many of those that we don't know about, if this was done in Egypt, imagine what a 3 letters agency have
That is very cool and much needed, but I am _paranoid_ about hosting the data myself. I've lost too many databases over the years to the most random mistakes. Granted, technology has matured a lot over the last decode, but still... the cost (the nights spent debugging and troubleshooting) of maintaining the database yourself is just not worth it when managed solutions exist.
I've gotten multiple laptops repaired by independent repair shops which did in fact desolder, change, and solder a part.

It's not actually as difficult as you think. The chip itself is likely just a few bucks, and it takes about an hour to make such a repair, so plenty of shops are happy charging a couple hundred dollars to do this.
Haven't I seen lots of stuff showing LLMs do arithmetic for examples they haven't seen? If there is an issue really grasping basic logic though, doesn't that put a damper on the spooky "emergent properties" explanation for stuff like addition?
The other day I asked Google "Are US drivers licenses forgery-proof?" and "Can US Real-ID drivers licenses be forged?"

The #1 or #2 hit is utterly irrelevant: nothing to do with US or Real-ID (zero mentions), it's about New South Wales, Australia (lots of mentions of "NSW"):

Ya where are all these ads? Not using Edge (and what ads are directly in that I dunno), not using any widgets or MS News app, so there are no ads in the OS anywhere. Icons. Apps. Settings.
I always wanted to at least have a shallow understanding of Transformers but the paper was way too technical for me.

This really helped me understand how they work! Or at least I understood your example, it was very clear. And I also got to brush up my matrix stuff from uni lol.

It’s different from the FTC because its funding comes directly from the federal reserve.

So it’s independent of both the President and Congress.

> If you don't know any other way, learn some other way. Find some other domain of knowledge you always wanted to learn, and learn it, then figure out ways to create small businesses to monetize on it.

I can “learn” anything. What I cannot do is synthesize years of experience in some other domain. Most jobs are not like web development. They are not interested in outsiders or people who lack traditional credentials and experience in their exact field.
I remember working for a company that was imploding and it was pretty surreal - you'd have meetings where everyone would try to keep up the happy talk but then people would be crying (me among them) about the situation in more one-on-one settings. Sometimes the climate thing feels like that too. I've come to more or less believe that we're doomed, but I try to stay somewhat positive because what else am I going to do?
I know the "technology-specific implementation" is optional, but one thing that bugs me (as a designer) is that no design system I've ever used has had any ability to tell me where, how often, or even whether a particular component is in use in the production UI. So if I wanted to change it, what's the impact? Nor can I tell by looking at the production UI whether something that looks like a component is actually one, or just an "impostor" that won't change if the component I've changed is updated.

A possible exception to this is some CMS systems I've dealt with that can sometimes tell you this, but they don't typically cover the whole of the product's UX. But I do wish the tech stacks would recognize this issue.
Easy fix: Use a more featureful (and more spec compliant) terminal emulator, like Kitty or WezTerm, and enable the Kitty keyboard protocol.

If you’re using iTerm, or Konsole, or Gnome Terminal, or urxvt, or… pretty much anything other than Kitty or WezTerm, you owe it to yourself to make the switch.

Personally, I use WezTerm.

Support for Windows, macOS and Linux. Better configuration. Better font rendering. Built-in fallback to Nerd Font for vscode-like icons in your editor of choice (I use neovim), so you don’t need to patch your font. Supports the Kitty keyboard protocol, and image display. Tons of features, too many to list here.

Google remains the best search engine, period.

Nothing is even close.
Ah, thanks.

I'm too used to stripping tracking codes from URLs, I guess.

Though the highlight can also be used in that manner.
There are industries where you have no choice but to use FIPS compliant crypto. Or do they just not get to have pure rust crypto?
Do you need examples of searches? If people get more useful results from one search engine over another, that's all that matters.

I can't provide you with side-by-side examples because I don't compile lists of such examples. I'm searching to find stuff, not researching search quality. I just know that I have more problems getting good search results from Google over a couple of the other engines.
Tech job market is fucked because rates aren’t zero and money isn’t free for the first time in like 15 years.

Middle class continued to be crushed, everyone noticed that tech was the only way to have a shot at upper middle class, and rushed for the same doors.

The “extras” that weren’t making the cut got let go last year and even harder this year.

The only way to win is to stop playing the game. Make your own company. Get a loan from the SBA. Fuck the disgusting wanna live forever VC extractions class. Get out of the rat race. Stop rewarding the cancerous leeches that are dismantling everything else so they can go do cocaine in Mykonos. Stop playing their game.
Who is going to tell people to have fewer children? or to "lower" their lifestyle? It is taboo.

Who is going to tell people that the concept of tourism does not scale? and the most resources you require, the most inefficient you are?

Not the political authorities, influencers or people admired due to their lifestyle (who happen to be the most influential).

The people compulsively consuming resources should be given some form of mental health support so they stop marsforming the planet.
Forget all of that. If you can run actual video games in a browser at 120fps, you can definitely achieve pretty much any UI/ux you can dream. Obviously, within resource constraints. But I don't think there's many UIs you can build that are reasonable and slow on the web but fast in Java swing (or whatever other UI framework you're using)
Abuse is a good word for my experience using Windows. Every time I need to log in to Word and it tells me it's "getting Office ready" when I know it's checking my subscription. Or whenever an upgrade happens when I thought I was just shutting down the machine for the day. Or starting it up. I didn't consent for you to do that Windows, but there you go again.
I upgraded a P2P networking library recently to add support for IPv6. That was a pure software solution and it required a lot of work. When you have to upgrade hardware as well, I can imagine it would present a massive challenge (especially logistically). You'd have to upgrade ALL the hardware before you even start thinking about the software side of the equation.

In the California part, most of this area is already parkland. Redwood National & State Park, Del Norte Coast State Park, Tolowa Dunes State Park.

The Resighini Tribe is about 40 people, Tolowa Dee'ni is about 110 people. The biggest one is Cher-Ae Heights, 130 people. The largest tribe in the area, not part of this announcement, is the Yurok, around 3000 people. So this is just a small subset of the local indigenous groups making this declaration.

These smaller tribes talk about conservation and the environment, but their main activity is running this casino:

I do think it is important to preserve the natural beauty of Northern California, but I think the state and national park systems are doing a pretty good job of it, and I wouldn't want to turn the parks over to some local casino operators.
That’s not equivalent at all. Paying off criminals creates an incentive for there to be more criminals. Paying more security researchers does not incentivize people writing buggy C code to write even buggier C code.

I have been a huge Microsoft fan for ages, I loved my windows phone, and my Zune HD.

This is the first time I haven't updated my OS to 11. Not that I love 10, but I fear that 11 is going to be more aggressive with all the things I dislike about 10. Mostly around ads, notifications, and generally feeling like my computer belongs to them.

I've been on OSX the last few weeks while I'm developing a iOS app. I don't love it. But I don't fear it either.

I would love to have a linux OS where IO devices (screens, cameras, etc) just work.

My co-founder is on linux and is constantly messing with microphone, camera, etc not being picked up on linux, and having to mess around with settings to get things to work.

Pretty nice! Very useful idea, especially for videos on my watchlist I never get to because I feel they're too long.

Would love if I could ask follow up questions. Would be awesome to ask "Is X also explained?" and get a little summary back with the timestamp so I can jump to that point in the video.

Also it feels a bit slow and doesn't really give feedback whether it's making progress. That would be a good UX improvement.
When google first appeared it was a revolution compared to everything else. If you expect this kind of difference, none of the alternative search engines come close.

If you are looking for big search engines, there aren't many really, I strongly believe you should give them all a shot and just alternate between them.

The biggest takeaway from this is that google isn't massively better than the worst alternative anymore and it sticks mostly due to recognition.
Yes, if you jeep your code closes then society is losing because everyone relies on you for everything. It's not about being usable, it's about being in control.

The place the operator looks to be most useful is updating the db. It'll do "the right thing" updating the secondary pods first, doing a switch over of the primary, then updating the old primary pod.

That sort of action is real hard to do with just a plain helm chart (especially if you didn't plan for it up front).

To be fair, it took a while for people to figure out how much MAD was still in play, since before the invasion most punditry thought Russia was bluffing and would never try to invade Kyiv with tanks, so what else had they gotten wrong?
A good comparison with other operators here [2022]: https://blog.palark.com/cloudnativepg-and-other-kubernetes-o...

Personally I've only used Kubegres (https://www.kubegres.io/), which didn't even make the above list. It's ok for a personal project.

All k8s solutions for postgres take subtly different approaches. It seems that they've all converged on the Operator pattern. The basics are easy: run a database process which persists data to a cloud disk of your choice. The hard parts are how to update, migrate, backup, restore, monitor, failover, replicate, etc. These kubernetes "operators" promise to fulfill the role of a DBA but, just like hiring a DBA, it requires buy-in to their approach.
