> Our culture is constantly telling you that if you can't find a job it's due to some kind of character defect.

You hit the nail on the head, its a combination of survivorship bias and just-world fallacy that cause people to hand-wave away the problems. Either out of "it doesn't happen to me" or "I've never seen it happen before" its really hard to reason with someone who doesn't see the thing you're complaining about to be a legitimate concern.

Compassion is the only answer. First self compassion, and then compassion for others in the world. Even the ones who do us dirty. Compassion and understanding can't replace burned bridges but it can build new ones. I'm still working on this.

An easy first step would be to do a minimum of engagement with those people kindly putting effort into submitting PRs to the repo. You could even assign a community maintainer to help with testing and managing PRs and issues if you don't have the time.
"Preventing security vulnerabilities" is not an unadulturated good (the most secure computer does nothing but checking to make sure it hasn't been breached), and any bounds check that does not actively prevent an intrusion is wasted from a value perspective.

Your intuition about the cost of a patch vs the extra instructions in the hot path to check bounds everywhere is also very much wrong: the cost of a patch (which is also amortized among many fixes) is not even close. The hot path adds up when you call it a lot.
Yes, Bergson is not only completely wrong, but lazily and proudly wrong.

He is either:

- an early proto-Post-Modernist, who denies anything they don't advocate can be true;

- an early woo-quantum-consciousness connector of mysteries, all mysteries are each other's explanations.

Would, perhaps, Mr Bergson be a French philosopher?
Minor inconvenience vs Mexico electronic invoice hell.
Our VAT is 16%, for everyone except a select group of small business, of a now discontinued tax regimen.
We must issue a dual cryptographic signed XML invoice (by the emitter and the tax authority) with individualized items with ID codes from a tax authority catalog of recognized products and services, that includes tampons (53131615) to warships (25111708) to radical ecological organizations (94131701).
Every invoice needs to be sent to the tax authority servers to get the second signature, without it the invoice is not valid. Without it is not possible to deduct to VAT payments, or (monthly) tax filling in general.
No internet, no invoice software, no computers, equals no invoice and no invoice is almost tax fraud. A fiscal invoice is only emitted when a customer asks for it, but businesses are obliged to emit a "general public invoice" with all the sales where customers don't ask for a fiscal invoice.
OT: I wonder whether Apple or Firefox’s “reading mode” algorithms (both broken for this link) will gain the ability to handle these plaintext, fixed-width, hard line ended, htmlified email archives before the owners of any of these sites like marc.info adapt to use more user friendly formatting that can reflow in a narrower-width browser window…
That's just your opinion. There is no objective "better" here.
I don't oppose it on an emotional level, but there's not a single meaningful framework I can imagine that would "ban all of crypto" as-worded. You could go a long ways combating fraud by starting with credit card providers, but that has zero effect on the networks themselves. People can (will, and do) trade in cash, and the blockchain will usually operate unimpeded. Regulation on exchanges is the tip of the iceberg if you honestly intend to kill cryptocurrency in the West. I say all of this as someone who delights in the collapse of trashy decentralized money machines, but also as a pragmatist.
Why anyone would use a proprietary podcasting app is beyond me! (Particularly one from Google with basically had a 100% chance of getting canceled....)

https://antennapod.org/ is incredible! 10/10, highly recommend!
I don't think there's any evidence of this.

First, what would our understanding of mathematics improving look like? Mathematics is an abstraction. Does such a thing as "true" mathematics even exist?

Second, what evidence is there that improving our understanding of maths will asymptotically improve our models of reality? There really is no evidence of this! Seems like a wild logical leap.
A low effort comment. That "said" haven't declined and raised the way shown isn't what needs evidence.

It's the extraordinary claim that it has that does.

That claim is Google's, and before accusing the author of the blog, maybe how representative their unseen dataset is. Should we take statistics with no knowledge of their input set at face value because "trust Google"?

It's a trade-off between brevity and verbosity, some mathematics do that. Often longer variable names are in ALL-CAPS. Since ab = a*b, it's important to differentiate vars from multiplications.
> Having Spotify handle podcast management for me is great and it's handy but I would much rather have an agnostic app with inputs for RSS feeds.

What about the Spotify app keeps you using it, even though (1) they're a parasitoid on the open podcasting ecosystem and (2) have successfully destroyed the original, open meanings of "podcast" and "podcasting"?
Yeah if you look at the Unity leadership and board, you can see clearly who is in charge and what their values are. If that doesn't change, then talk is cheap.

Unity has entered the enshittification (or more generously "value extraction") phase of their existence, and you should assume that going forward no matter what they do, it will be in the context of prioritizing value extraction over customer success or happiness.

Companies are allowed to make money, but how it's done really matters.
>The big issue I have with AI art is that you could have very clear image in mind that you wish to generate, and spend lots of time tweaking your prompt to the model, but you will never get the image you had in mind, because there is disconnect between you and the machine. Your imagination doesn't extend across the screen.

Couldnt you say the same about pen and pencil? Or any other medium? Turning imagination into something physical/digital/real always entails loss. This might be a matter of a few more iterations of better usability. If you are able to put the the limits of the machine representation of your imagination into words they might iteratively vanish. You wont connect your imagination to a machine but to words.

Posts were also about creativity and design in the context of copyright thus the focus on economics. Art for its own sake as a personal pursuit doesnt really relate to that perspective. Unless you want to trade in other currencies (fame and number of impressions) in which case its the age old competition of what is able to speak to people on a deeper level. For which the representation is often less important then the idea / perspective and how that is able to resonate with people. For that the medium is just that, a medium.
Confluent Stepping into the AI Game
No idea. From skimming some university press releases, I see a lot of "potential for!" and similar wording.

This https://news.utexas.edu/2022/04/27/plastic-eating-enzyme-cou... has "Up next, the team plans to work on scaling up enzyme production to prepare for industrial and environmental application. " which is more promising.

As far as I understand, yes it is a very different challenge to make a bioreactor for actually using some random new enzyme than the (also hard) problem of getting the structure in the first place. How to immobilize it on some surface, how to pre-process the material to pass it through the reactor (?) I guess ...
After reading this thread, looking through the side, and through LaunchDarkly's site, I'm still confused. Can someone ELI5 me through what a feature flag is? Ie how does it compare to a struct or database field?
That's insane. But at least they tell you the process. I particularly appreciate them mentioning "personality tests" because that's a level of BS that I'm personally not willing to engage with. Telling me about it up front warns me that I would be a poor fit at the company, and so I can avoid wasting the time of both of us.
Good ordering. There's also the entire topic of visa's and right to work in places in EU that may have restrictions on foreigners taking jobs away.

Vacationing to places in EU is fun but you won't see/hear about the large issues the people living there have on a daily basis. You're a tourist doing sight-seeing.

Apologies idk where I got the 2 years from. But I still feel like this too short a time period to claim the experiment is run , especially when several states like California[0] have their own net neutrality laws since 2018. I feel it’s kinda like saying that we don’t need federal emissions standards because the sky hasn’t fallen without them (but they are in major markets like California).

So vi vs emacs then.

I understand your points (I stayed up to watch the switch from PoW to PoS on my Ethereum nodes as one example) but no one else does, and that's my point. If anything you mentioned offered value other than "trade vs USD" there would be adoption - like oil and consoles.

All you have to do is take a quick look at a block explorer, dappradar[0], tokens, etc to discover very quickly no one (0.5% of global internet users - literally) uses any of this stuff other than gambling. Horrible "play to earn" games, NFTs, tokens, DEXes to swap tokens around (more gambling and criminality), etc. The only thing the improved technology of Ethereum has done is continue the "crypto way" of inventing new ways to gamble and scam people.

Even the vast majority of people that interact with the space see ETH, BTC, etc as just another trade ticker they denominate value in fiat with. All of these trades operate on an order book in an exchange and has nothing at all to do with the underlying blockchain and whatever supposed differences/advantages/etc the technology has.

The entire underlying technology could disappear tomorrow and it would have meaningful impact to an even smaller group of people than your favorite text editor. No actual utility lost.

Terrible idea. Using a database for queues means using a file format that's not optimized for this, so, unless you don't delete the rows (effectively having a always-growing table) you'll run into performance issues. Also the index for a processed flag will cause contention.

I'm certain you can work around those issues, but why if you can use a proper queue?
All of those came from public investment in infrastructure, funded by taxing the shit out of robber barons and trust busting at a never before seen scale starting in the 1930s and going until we went to Vietnam.

It’s like capitalists completely forgot about the massively successful Great Society program (which is the only thing holding this all together still) that literally created from whole cloth most of the roads, sewers, electricity, social security, elderly healthcare, consumer protections, etc… that we all rely on everyday.

So no. That’s totally wrong, the world you live in much worse than it could have been for MOST people had generations of psychopaths not divested the public benefit aspect of organizing

WordPress designer / builder here: This is cool. I've used ChatGTP to write 2 simple "plugins" or snippets of PHP code. For a builder with "some" coding skills, these new AI tools are game changers.

Also is it $25/year or one-time?
If you need to build something from source (my use-case: Vim, so I can change which language bindings exist in the resulting build) it can sometimes be a lot easier than cloning and using the "raw" C/Make build system.

Also, assuming a downstream distro like Debian or Ubuntu, what's in Homebrew is likely a more up to date package. You could fiddle with adding/using Debian testing or some PPA, or... you could just use Homebrew.

(FWIW: I use Arch and the AUR on my desktop Linux installs these days, and it's essentially the same process. But still using Homebrew on the Mac, and occasionally in Linux when I'm not on a desktop)
Agreed, it's a real challenge. I'm excited to see if AI will unleash metaverses because it will make aesthetically more enjoyable experiences faster/cheaper/easier to create.

Your problems have solutions. It sounds like these mistakes were repeated and clear. It seems that you could intellectually see it, but you chose differently for other reasons. It may be an emotional barrier. Do people consider you stubborn? If so, that's fixable. Stop. You don't have to brain up, you have to wise up. The thing in your way is you and your brain but not in the way you're expecting; it's not intellect but wisdom. And it's not going to be fixed with brain surgery or an increase in IQ. It's going to stop when you allow it to stop.

People think of Therapists as Surgeons, a last resort. But they're also General Practitioners that you can just talk to. It can be that external help/voice. I really suggest trying for a couple months and see if it offers you anything. No harm if not. Or don't -- that's ok too. But they can't do shit unless you try.

Try the two other things I mentioned: long walks and wild writing. Again, try it for two or three months. If it doesn't help, no harm.

The key to this is in your hand. But it may not fit the lock that you're expecting. If you're open to true change, you can be pleasantly surprised but first you have to try.
I really like the simplicity of Google Podcasts, it does one thing and pretty well.

I'm also a Spotify user and despise have podcasts mixed with music, so bloated and clunky (also Spotify performance isn't good), music and podcasts are different usecases for me, I'm on different mood.

I don't want to jump to YouTube Music, and the last time I did a research, I can't find a simple Podcast app that is free, simple, ad-free, and has desktop web+native phone app support like Google Podcasts.

I guess I have to have to pay _other_ subscription now :/. Will try YouTube Music but I'm quite sure will not like it.

Note aside: I have YouTube Premium subscription for the ad-free experience, and has YouTube Music included, but to listen to music I prefer Spotify Premium _only_ because has a desktop app, I just can't have Spotify on my browser tabs, and since I use Firefox I can't install the pwa-webapp. If I can have installed the desktop app/pwa-webapp I'm sure I will dich Spotify for sure. Sorry for the unrelated rant but I just remember that.
It will depend on the complexity of the stack, the number of environments you are deploying into, the number of devs on the team etc. It can work, and if it is working for you in this manner don't change what isn't broken, but in my experience for sophisticated systems with many services, envs, and developers it becomes unmanageable pretty quickly.

The best solution to this sort of bug is not using languages that are susceptible to this sort of bug. At the very least, I think it's time to retire the fallacy that we're generally capable of producing sound programs in memory unsafe languages. Just like we don't write code manually checking raw SQL to protect against injections and we don't roll our own crypto when we need to encrypt something or do a key exchange, we shouldn't treat writing safe code in C as something anyone can do by just being vaguely diligent.

No, you're not out of touch. Most companies are more like this (although my experience is that most companies will do two interviews -- one that is more social and meant to measure "fit" and one more technical.)

journalists having political preferences may shade their reporting, but it's a stretch to suggest that it causes them to act in conspiracy to exaggerate the impact of Covid or to make up stories about Russian troll farms impacting the election.

In fact, Covid vaccines were important, are still important, and Covid is not a cold or a flu; and Russian influence on politics did happen, is happening, and will happen. All of these things are extensively documented with facts and evidence. That they are now also partisan warfare topics is not a reporting problem but a right wing media and leadership problem.
It’s hard to present evidence because there’s only one source. So the article basically calls out flaws in the methodology of Google Books/Ngram.

I think this is reasonable. As otherwise we end up accepting things that exist solely, but are flawed. Just because something exists and is easy to use doesn’t mean it’s right.

Just like the answer to “the most tweeted thing is X therefore it is most popular and important” does not require a separate study to find the truth. It’s acceptable just to say “this is a stupid methodology, don’t accept it just because that’s what twitter says.”

Intel basically hit the clock speed limit and diverged to multiple cores. However, they still make x86 based chips, not ARM. They owned an ARM license for a while and got rid of it. For whatever reason, Intel felt like putting all there money on x86 was their only option. For a while they were making Atom chips for mobile, but at some point that design was hobbled because Intel has always been about the 60%+ margins on server chips. You cannot sell the cheaper chips at the same margins. It's not that Intel couldn't technically figure stuff out, it's that they couldn't see past those 60% margins.

For a while Intel's process knowledge was supposed to be better, even if the design was less efficient, but that turned out to be a mirage around 10nm or so. Intel now without a process advantage is probably never going to regain it's monopoly, and so far hasn't really transformed itself to do anything other than build those high-margin chips.

Once upon a time, I wanted to use one of the chips from a company they bought in networking, but Intel's model is to make the chip and let other companies make a product to take it to market. Intel doesn't want to make a market, just sell into it. You can see that with their attempt at TV where they stopped when they didn't want to spend money on content. So the chip I was interested in didn't get much R&D or a product and it more or less disappeared, another wasted investment.

Thank you. This is a good suggestion.
You can never trust them as they may still just choose to implement it somewhere in the future.

The thing is: Capitalism demands perpetual (growing) growth. Pay-per-download would have helped tremendously with this.

I don’t believe pay-per-download is dead.

Money isn’t free anymore, but companies are desperate for growth. Inflation is currently caused by companies issuing significant price hikes to appease shareholders. I expect more pay-per-download-style shenanigans from other companies or outrageous price hikes going forward, to sustain growth.
