> bemoan the upfront cost

This applies to much more than static typing as well. Anything built, can be built well or it can be built quickly.

Although I often have to make trade-offs for immediate gain at work, there is a big difference between the quality of my work over time vs the quality of other devs who default to immediate returns. I will say in their defense, they play a role in the team. But I wouldn't want to work on a team where avoiding upfront costs was the expectation rather than the exception.
I guess it depends whether the 2am alerts he had been getting were tests or not
Well not really, except for the park I guess, still Bosco Verticale is not in the middle of the park.

If by "glass desert" you mean that it's full of buildings covered in glass, then I suggest you actually visit Milan, because here it's really the opposite.

Just really to show my point: https://ibb.co/xhnnjtM, no glass desert of course, the other side has the park

Try a local hardware store, not a big-box like Home Depot or Lowes, though they’re likely to have it too! I’ve found that so long as I am patient, local hardware stores are happy to order things for me.

Amazon is great at instant gratification and that’s about it IMO.

Exactly right. The solution to a mass movement toward an ignorant and blind viewpoint isn't to censor it, it's to dismantle it with an opposing viewpoint and to provide a less ignorant way forward. Censorship of any kind doesn't solve anything despite what people want to think about Alex Jones or any others.
> If one is serious about business, why would you not take, cash, cheque, credit and debit cards, contactless, NFT phone, and bitcoin? Even if some of those are suboptimal, a sale is a sale.

For some businesses, the overall cost of accepting some of those methods may be higher than the expected revenue from customers who won't use another method. Buying new payment readers. Having to convert the bitcoin immediately to currency to avoid losing money due to its constant price fluctuations. Higher per-transaction fees for some types of payment. Increased susceptibility to fraud (for cheques in particular).

> The problem comes with cashiers and managers who are not business owners and are terrified to do anything unusual. They are tied to procedural rote and unable to think dynamically.

You would be too if you were barely making ends meet, the expected outcome for "a customer asked me to accept an unusual form of payment" was almost always "it was a con, the 'customer' got the merchandise/service for free", and you'd most likely be fired as a result.

I write code without static types all the time. Daily probably. I am "pro types" in a hand wavy way. My conviction is to no longer engaging in the debate.

I've seen this have a similar issue to "open source" where people misuse it even if the terms were supposed to mean something similar. e.g. food with plant-based written on it containing non-vegan ingredients (sorta like people calling public/visible source "open source" when it's very much proprietary)
They had huge bezels. I feel like current phones with huge displays are at most as big as then-phablets or even smaller.
Looks good to me. Improvements from the 1st gen watch, and the FitBit integrations look nice. Having an "official" WearOS watch on offer is always good, my previous and current watches (from Fossil and Skagen) had a lot of issues (battery life, performance, slow updates, etc). Never really was a Samsung guy, but I heard their implementation of WearOS was good.
Also, S23 Ultra is equipped with Snapdragon 8Gen2, which is much more powerful than Tensor G3. The latter is almost equivalent to 8+Gen1 in terms of CPU and GPU.
I know it's not realistic but it'd be cool if pretendo made a e-shop replacement.
Milan is plagued by choices unrelated to past urban planning, e.g. it is in an aeea where geography traditionally led to stagnating air (fog was a defining characteristic of Milan) and this has impacts on pollution.

But it's also really polluted because there are a bunch of really old heating systems. That would require almost zero planning, but it requires political will.
I always have trouble with takes like this because they are context-free. There are a wide variety of project types and development scenarios.

My nuanced take is that typing is an economic choice. If the cost of failure (MTTR and criticality) are low enough it is fine to use dynamic typing. In fact, keeping the cost of failure low (if you can) gives you much more benefit than typing provides.

Erlang, a dynamic language used to create outrageously resilient systems, is a great example of that for the domains where it can be used.

I'm not a dynamic typing zealot (I like static typing a lot) but I do think that dynamic typing is unfairly maligned.

The cost argument brings the decision down to earth.

then by your logic, if we have traffic congestion we should build more highways.

But we all know that building more highways creates more congestion because of induced demand. I suspect housing also experiences induced demand. At the same time, you could be right that if you build housing for 10 times the need, then you would reduce the demand for housing. Just like if you built highways 10 times bigger, we would not have congestion.
How we’re thinking about the levels of code AI
Everyone has biases. But you aren't describing a bias, you are describing a refusal to engage with people below you. Speak for yourself, I don't have that.
It seems too cynical.

Google has supported all of its Nexus/Pixel devices for as long as they have claimed to in the past.

The difference now is that the claimed period is longer than before.

The claims form part of the advertising and sales material for the product - this is legally binding in many countries.
That argument extends far beyond digital goods. There are a myriad of great physical books, albums, games, boardgames, etc. that are out-of-print, and so the only legal way to experience them is to find somebody with a copy and borrow/rent/buy it from them. The IP rightsholder has decided it is no longer profitable to make more. So the problem you describe is exactly the same for physical media.

I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong but that this is scope-creep.
Everyone I talk to who is building some vector db based thing sooner or later realizes they also care about the features of a full-text search engine.

They care about filtering, they care to some degree about direct lexical matches, they care about paging, getting groups / facet counts, etc.

Vectors, IMO, are just one feature that a regular search engine should have. IMO currently Vespa does the best job of this, though lately it seems Lucene (Elasticsearch and Opensearch) are really working hard to compete
I have a Pixel 5, which has a known defect preventing it from connecting to the mobile network at times. This is a documented issue. Go to the Google Store and they will hand you a new one... which probably has the same issue. I will have to buy a different phone for hundreds of dollars, even though I have a perfect-condition Pixel 5, because it doesn't work and apparently there is nothing that Google will do about it (except giving me a brand-new phone with the same issue).

I don't care how long the support is. It's useless.
There are finite timezones affected, I wonder why they don’t just provide a table of all local times.

In the case it's part of their official marketing, it's probably safe to assume they'll either pay out if they don't follow through or a class action would soon follow. As incentives for a corporation to follow through go, those are fairly solid IMO.
I suspect that given all the partners involved in these projects, it's likely infeasible to go back to those partners and ask for retroactive extended support from all of them. If any of them (or transitively any of your partners' partners) say no, you are likely screwed.
One of the things you have to provide is the location at which you're incorporated.

Linear motors have been around for decades in high end CNCs, high speed pick and place machines, massive industrial conveyors, silicon fabs, even MRIs. They’re a well understood concept (it’s an “unrolled” rotary motor), they’re just difficult to design and expensive.

The only extraordinary claim here is that they’ve managed to fit two axes in a $2,000 consumer device. From the video, it looks like they inverted the design so that the stator is a bunch of alternating magnets and they have a small coil on the rotor. I figure FPGAs and other electronics have finally gotten cheap enough to make them this small and cheap so if they manage to ship they might be the first.

Personally I’ve been hoping the 3d printing community tackles linear motors and drives the cost down for years.
I might not have conveyed myself very well, but I really wasn’t trying to make the salesman feel dumb. Really, he was being a salesman, and by that I mean bullshitting me. I’d ask what the payload of the Tacoma was, and he’d come up with an answer I knew to be wrong. Whether or not I wanted to purchase the truck depended on that payload number. So, when I kept sending the question back to him, I was just trying to find a way to get a true payload rating for the truck. I needed that information to inform my purchase, and wasn’t able to get that information. (The truck was on a boat in Mexico, and I’d have to reserve the purchase. I couldn’t just visit the dealership and look at the payload sticker on the door.)

In any case, I definitely didn’t want him to feel bad. When I met him, I had a really pleasant interaction — he was a nice person. But, he just wanted to sell me the truck, and really didn’t care if he could provide me correct information or not. Ultimately I gave up on the purchase because I couldn’t get the information I needed.
Trimming the working set of a process doesn’t actually save memory. It just moves the memory from the working set of the process to the standby list. Then, if the system is under memory pressure the pages in the standby list are eligible to be compressed, or discarded (if unmodified and backed by a file), or written to the page file. [… If] the system has gobs of free and available memory then it may never do anything with the page, making the trimming pointless. The memory isn’t “saved”, it’s just moved from one list to another. It’s the digital equivalent of paper shuffling.

This sounds like it should be basically free in a memory-unconstrained system - is the system really just spending all its time managing these lists? Why is it so expensive?
Google hasn't had a track record of actually supporting their products beyond 2-3 years, software or hardware. I'll believe it when I see it.

Apple Card doesn't even have a number printed on it (because you can request a new # ad hoc, via the app), let alone embossed. Just my name, and (without walking to get the physical card) Apple logo, and I think a Goldman-Sachs logo.

Hegel, is that you?
On waterfall vs agile, both don't work without significant flexibility and fuzzying the game on the dev team's part.

Waterfall as it was done in early 2000s was mostly a high level plan and smaller unofficial iterations on the ground. We knew we need to test, and sometimes partially release stuff in advance to have an idea of what's actually working and what's half baked.

The same way successful agile projects are almost always done with unofficial rough planning and dependency graphing checked ahead, and smaller iterarion following the big picture from there.

On both methodologies, religiously adhering to the mantra is suicidal, and I don't see agile being significantly better except if all you care about it getting paid iteratively -- which is a noble goal for a consultant.

Perhaps the point that bears reiterating is very few shops actually followed hard line waterfall planning (nor agile, for that matter).

Some Hard Truths About Blockchain
I hope this help make the could thing vanish
This quote in the middle of the article seems key to understanding the phenomenon:

>>Naomi Klein examines the mushrooming of conspiracism in her new book Doppelganger, noting that people often come under its sway because they are searching for a practical solution to a sense of unfairness. Conspiracists have a “fantasy of justice”, hoping that the evil-doing elites can be arrested and stopped. “Conspiracy theorists get the facts wrong but often get the feelings right,” she writes. “The feeling that every human misery is someone else’s profit … the feeling that important truths are being hidden.” She quotes digital journalism scholar Marcus Gilroy-Ware’s conclusion that: “Conspiracy theories are a misfiring of a healthy and justifiable political instinct: suspicion.”

They want to understand the unfariness, but lack particular mental capacity to do so — the combination of intellectual capacity and education required to manage complex research (filtering ofr credibility) and understanding complex interactions — and so are lead into simpler wrong explanations by those who exploit spread of information, and/or the fellow deluded Useful Idiot (V.Lenin sense) 'fellow travelers'.

It would be amusing if it weren't as dangerous to society as it is baffling.
So...why bother with the separation? Why not just publish the specs and let people copy your hardware work and be done?
Probabilistically there is some evidence you'll become a serial killer.

For example, if you were being hired by law enforcement and you had written a number of books that stated that being a serial killer was a good thing, then you wouldn't get hired.

I specifically said they agree most of the time. The fact that judges are more likely to convict means it’s a risky option, but says nothing about accuracy of either option.

> It does not substantiate any claims about “reason doubt”

There’s zero possibility for someone to use a standard they don’t understand. Every single case where a Jury is confused as to the standard is a case where they aren’t using it.

Any suggestion that they follow a standard requires them to both understand the standard and for them to apply it. If 60% understand and 60% of those that understand follow it then 36% are following the standard. (No those numbers shouldn’t be taken as an argument.)
Come on. My interactions with the IRS, TSA, Social Security Office, Passport Office have all been slow and arcane. It is a total fantasy to think the Government could run Amazon well.
Permission Slip: Enabling consumers to meaningfully exercise their data rights
It does. Those models are glorified look-up tables, output = answers[input]. It would of course be insane to try to store this mapping explicitly but it is still there implicitly in the weight of the network. But no matter what, it is just feed-forward, the system will always be limited when it comes to learning things that require iteration. This can be overcome to some extend by doing something like chain of thought that allows dumping some state into the output stream that will then be fed back through the autoregressive loop wrapping the network. Pause tokens are more or less the same thing just that they do not pollute the output with the internal thoughts of the network.

> the fact that we always use text editing as the de-facto solution is so weird to me since that problem is both niche and extremely complex

The reason we use that is because it is complex enough to show the problems that CRDTs solve. I would argue that this painting example is too simple. The core merge loop is:

if pixel.created_at < newPixel.created_at {
pixel = newPixel;
}

this is maybe good as a first step, but I don't think it is enough to even really called an "Intro". A last-write-wins register is trivial.

Simple text inserts with a simple "insert after" CRDTs is not much more complicated but involves things like generated unique IDs without communication and how to resolve conflicts with some sort of globally consistent ordering.
Yeah but honestly how much diversity does a font have? You say copying shapes and segments etc, but if you look at a genre of fonts, say scifi ones, they all have very similar features, usually with one big "character" difference (sometimes barely even that).

How is it possible to create something 100% unique when it's meant to fill a particular genre? The genre exists because it's a group of similar things.
GPS Logger, Syncthing, and a decent/ad-blocking/extensible browser (in my case Kiwi) are exactly the things that make Android my preference.

In that context: My most "fun" encounter was at a demonstration by farmers against patented seeds in Munich, Germany:

RMS spent half a sentence on crops and seeds before transitioning to emphasize that GNU/Linux isnkey and it's important to call it GNU. Most of the audience didn't know whonthat was and what he was talking about, while the interpreter tried to give a tiny bit of context in his translation.

We need fundamentalists who stick to their opinion. And I agree to many of RMS's points, but he is not a good poster head ...

I'm wondering this same thing - my current assessment is no and that a YAML config is superior to compile-time macros. If I used Shuttle, I'd probably be using cfg-if and type aliases anyway to stop it from infecting the majority of my code. The proposed benefit of having a compile-time validated config is not a tangible one in my opinion. I don't think the abstractions are that beneficial either.

This is kind of a harsh assessment, but maybe it's just not for me.
undeniable that you'll have a thing or two pop up—whether or not it's worth it depends on how much you want to understand. despite differences in how it works, podman _is_ simpler.

the reality though is that you can install both docker and podman, and just start/stop docker as necessary. its easy enough to experiment with podman on a system with docker installed.

imo it's similar to folks that think learning a new shell is a huge undertaking. the reality is you just install the new thing and drop in and out of it as you get comfortable. if it sticks, cool, if not, also cool.
