Its a talk at a programming languages conference by a programming languages professor who moved into medicine to help diagnose and treat his son with a genetic condition. Its a great talk which simultaneously provides an introduction to biomedical research and knowledge based systems and provides some compelling cases for the benefit of combining the two. It also takes you through a journey that includes starting a company, working with the white house and being recruited to be the director of a university research institute.
This is for private companies. Google/Alphabet is a public company.
Also, SQL is sCaRy. It's "hard to learn", and "we'll need experts to tune the database queries", and "schema migrations are a nightmare", etc.

Whereas MongoDB is "simple".
If you care about the noise and size, but not so much about looks, you can also pick up a nice N5105 box for about the same price from Amazon, but with tons of ethernet ports available.

That is great! :)

I appreciate your taking the time to give your thoughts on this. I disagree, but sincere thanks.
> HTTP is so simple

So is email. The simplicity of a protocol has nothing to do with the complexity of the workflow that produces it.

> why not just write that directly in a literate format you can checkin to a repo?

Because nothing I work on in Postman is something I need to check in to a repo. I need to test HTTP requests, and I've never worked with a code base that had raw HTTP requests in it.

> They're still alternatives, just not in the style you're used to.

The "style" is different enough that entire use cases become impossible.

Let's say I want to copy HTTP response headers out of a log in JSON format. In Postman, I can paste JSON (and various other key-value formats) into the headers field, and it automatically parses it for me.

There are a hundred little conveniences like that that require a good GUI.
As someone who has traveled by ICE in Germany frequently, I think this article is exaggerated.

Yes, delays are frequent. However, the routes are also quite long and complex (in France, the rail network consist out of spokes around Paris).

A 30 minute delay on a 7 hour (Amsterdam-Berlin) journey is like 4 minutes on a 1 hour journey.
Xometry or 3D hubs, try the different processes. Also, try to make it out of sheet metal and use those companies or Sendcutsend.
I guess the other side of the coin is asking if they even need TikTok to do that. Yes, TikTok incentivizes self-surveillance but if we weren’t using TikTok, there would be another competitor to fill that niche.

Just because the data isn’t housed within your jurisdiction, doesn’t mean it isn’t accessible to you given enough effort.

There’s entire companies who have products solely used to process data off public social media and create dossiers on people. [0] No row level access required.

Not to say it doesn’t obviously make things easier, but the issue is more complex than what some politicians seem to think it is. “Ban TikTok = stop china doing bad things with foreign data”

If AI is cheap to use, that category of protection becomes irrelevant. A studio can crank out content so fast that it's irrelevant if someone else plagarizes, remixes, or reshares it.
Thanks. Haven't heard of it described as "nonpermissive" before. People generally refer to things like that as "copyleft". :)
What was the main reason for keeping the select-groups from applying to control surfaces? I'm not sure what would be the point of multi-selecting otherwise.

As an aside, is there any way I can add functionality to a control surface (that isn't writing C)? I use a behringer X-Touch (heavily) and moved to Reaper because there were plugins that provided much deeper integration with my X-Touch (which as a result has me working a lot faster in certain areas).
Author here. Thanks for sharing Flexoki! I was not expecting this project to get so much attention. Originally this color scheme was only meant for personal use on my site (primarily prose), but I kept getting questions about the colors I use so I decided to expand it to code and publish it.

I am amazed to see how many ports have already been created. Flexoki is only a day old and has already received ports for iTerm2, Neovim, macOS Terminal, Windows Terminal, shadcn, Tailwind, GIMP, Kitty... I appreciate all the contributions and am doing my best to merge them as they come in.

I have also added some more screenshots for those who wanted a better look at the syntax highlighting:

MPE: nothng is required to record and playback MPE, it's just MIDI 1.0. There's no "nice" way to edit MPE at this time. I can't say right now what priority we attach to this.

He started his own company in Indiana called Progeny (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progeny_Linux_Systems). My old roomate ended up working there. That's were they tried to get network-of-workstations (NOW) going but it never really took off. That company sort of just ran out of steam (many linux companies did at that time)

After that, I heard he was CTO of Sun. At that point his marriage had fallen apart and his drinking had become a problem (I got all this second hand through mutual friends).

Everyone was shocked by the suicide and the events leading up. Seemed like he spiraled at the end.

I haven't heard a good explanation yet for whether this is even legal. It seems like a textbook example of an unconstitutional bill of attainder.

You'd have to ban TikTok based on something it does, and any such law would impact a lot of other companies too.

Or I guess you could ban all Chinese software using trade laws, but that has even bigger ramifications.
The second most powerful is probably the Solver, that few programming languages (like prolog) include equivalent functionality out of the box. That's one thing that consistently gets me crawling back from Python/Pharo to Calc.

Do you know that an LCD at 24bpp has the same color quality or even worse as an CRT at 16bpp?

I need my HDR TV to be able to play some old games because the old LCD monitor is crap.
It depends on what you look at. The algorithm learns and basically mirrors your interests. Look at crap and it means you're crap. For example I get great gardening tips, DIY videos and learn something every swipe

> I've never actually heard it called the "prosecutor's fallacy" before, but it should be obvious why

The article goes into detail about this. If you look at the cases it links, some of them are pretty egregiously bad misuse of statistics to put people away. Sometimes while gaslighting the suspect at the same time.
And all of a sudden privacy and data protection are important.

Maybe the USA and China should sign a data protection agreement and call it Safe Harbor or so.
> I believe that requiring users to type the full long option '--force' each time they intend to forcefully remove files or directories would serve as an effective safeguard against inadvertent deletions.

I don't. Typing "--force" will just become the new muscle memory for most, and others will just set up an alias to avoid typing it at all.
That was the GCC Steering Committee's decision, not the FSF's.
Weirdly, I have this terrible habit of avoiding activities that cause the fast passage of time. If I play video games for 2hrs I will teleport to getting back to work sooner.

Egyptian Language (Ancient Egypt)
All the comments so far are great, and for me, understandable. What gets me is why China would poke the US government for all these months? What is it that our government isn't telling us? Is it an advantage for China to alienate one of the largest economies on Earth? Does China realize that to wake up the average American "bear" is a really bad idea, especially in these crazy political times?!?
> The way I see it is this: If war were to break out between the US and China right now, what could they do with tiktok?

If you're directing your peace-time policy based on a hypothetical worst that can be done in war-time, you're going to have really insane peace-time policies. If war were to break out tomorrow, we might want to institute a draft, I guess we should start drafting people now?

Nobody would blink twice if TikTok were turned off during a war so I'm not seeing how that hypothetical is relevant to anything.

I'd expect phone lines and internet cables to be turned off during a war too, but I'd be absolutely insane to demand that we cut them now, because of some hypothetical harm that might come if a very particular kind of shooting war between two nuclear powers (that somehow does not end in nuclear war) broke out.

Have any recommendations? Buying a PVM is a bit outside my price range.
I was at a retro barcade not too long ago and came across an old Centipede machine.

Maybe this machine just had a really good CRT in it, but the level of intense brightness against the pitch black background was honestly sort of mesmerizing. I had forgotten just how good CRTs were in that regard.

(A little bit off-topic from what the guy in the video is discussing, but I thought it's worth mentioning since it could be another reason why people have such fond memories of CRT gaming.)
In this kind of auction, the winner pays the runner-up bid. Google simply increased that bid before it was communicated to the winner.

The only effect, as this doesn't change the bid order, is that Google pockets the "built-in handicap" on top of the runner-up bid, without telling the winner what the actual bid is.
yeah. The snapshot of Java in my head still needs main() to be defined in a class.
Because the US government has more authority over Facebook than it does for a Chinese tech company.
There are ways to repair, but even with more repairable methods, labor is so expensive that you likely totaled the car if you get to that level of damage.
Having worked at both. Hardware companies treat thier software like hardware. They spend a ton of time planning and iterate very slowly. It's very waterfall. I think one of the key advantages Tesla has is they are the opposite. They iterate on their hardware like software. They make hardware changes all the time so they can hill climb faster. And while Toyota invented TPS they seem to be stuck at some local maxima and the scope of changes they make with hardware are limited or slow compared to software.
Personally, I like the ideas of Fuschia OS but it's a long ways off from a general purpose OS. Still usable today, though, if you are willing to build the userland stuff you need yourself. Not a fan of Google, though. meh.

Sure, to get the most out of NATS you should run it as a server (which frankly isn't difficult as its a single Go binary).

But you can embed it if you so wish. Indeed if you look at the NATS source code[1], that is exactly how NATS do their testing. They use an embedded NATS server in their test routines.

They have a number of tools to consolidate queries into a single transaction (createMany in this case), or, you can control transactions directly using their $transaction api.
Great question and thanks for pointing it out -- we'll make sure to address this on the website.

In a Jira workflow, there's a lot of customization required and a lot of thought needed to go into how to set up your workflow. Leantime is intended to be "opinionated" in the way that it's already set up -- each work function already has a home. The thing you have to decide is how you want to see the tasks.

Our "home" screen is intended for individual users to have pre-defined organization and not needing to set up their own dashboards either.

The other approach we do differently is to work to engage ICs in the value of the work and we do that by making the goals and work more clear. Some of this is still being developed out and rounded out better by our AI features -- which can be better read about here and how we view it in relationship to our own ADHD and the features behind it... https://leantime.io/2023/07/30/the-top-digital-planner-for-a....

Lastly, for Confluence fans, we come default with docs and (on cloud) we have whiteboards. Some of which will be coming out in plugins to OSS here soon.

How much of this ties to enhanced CPC bidding (enabled by default, pushed by account reps as a must have)? It allows your bids to exceed your maximum CPC in scenarios that Google defines-- which, so it seems, are likely scenarios that Google views as having profits left on the table.

And to connect it back to the original post: the moments that make me cringe the most in Grand Designs are the ones where the owner decides, as a cost-cutting measure, to manage the project themselves despite not having prior domain experience.

Welcome to the AI gym staffed by virtual trainers
Interesting article, and I love to see performance numbers to back up engineering decisions. I'm also glad xi-rope wasn't included, as I'm sure it's performance lags :)

That said, it's not measuring what I would measure. The jumprope benchmarks are reported as the total time to complete a number of tasks. To me, the massive strength of the rope data structure is its O(log n) worst case performance when performing a simple operation such as inserting or deleting a character. That translates into user-perceivable latency. If you have a sequence of a thousand edits, and your rope accomplishes each in 200µs, while your gap buffer has a mean of 100µs but variance extending to 10ms, then I'd much prefer the former, even though this benchmark would indicate the latter is 2x faster.

Most of these processes are garbage-in-garbage out.

Since these are designed to help a team deliver the best bang-for-the-buck at a given point in time, I've found proper assessment of actual urgency and importance are the biggest success factors.

> Very few jobs in industry need a PhD. Most are ok with a masters.

This varies dramatically by field.
In the US military, new recruits are put on a very early schedule (think: 5:00am wakeup) and an appropriately early bedtime. Within a matter of weeks, they become habituated to it such that everyone's body automatically starts operating on that schedule, even if no one wakes them up in the morning. I am skeptical that there is a biological reason 20-50% of the population can't get up early because it doesn't seem to be an issue in the myriad environments where waking up early is a general requirement. These environments aren't selecting for people that can get up early, they habituate people into getting up early. It clearly is possible most of the time.
There's never been a more ripe time for a third axis to open up stretching and bankrupting America. In America, and the west, we think often in terms of binary peace/war. This is not the same philosophy shared by those who wish to replace America as the world power.

It's good to have the frameworks in place to execute these things when we need them and it's my opinion that we will need them in the next five years.
One thing to note from https://ofboysandmen.substack.com/p/the-gender-pay-gap-is-no... is this when comparing same-sex and opposite-sex couples:

"the impact on earnings for the birth mother is [almost identical in both family types](https://www.ifau.se/globalassets/pdf/se/2016/wp2016-08-does-...). Meanwhile, the nonbirth mothers in the lesbian couples show a similar earnings pattern to fathers in the heterosexual ones"

I remember going to the UK launch of Lotus Improv as a newbie journalist. It was really notable how both how flashy and professional it was compared to other products (in retrospect, I'm presuming that was Jobs' influence). Nonetheless, I think they really struggled to explain pivot tables, and why, in itself, that feature was sufficient to move to a new application and a new hardware platform.

I wonder if these benchmarks include the time spent on updating the tree that stores information where the lines begin. Because if you have a gap at the beginning of the buffer and you make an insert you need to update all of that information.

When it comes to trust, what reputation does Google have to protect?

It's collecting data on anything & everything, hoovering private data wherever possible. Working hard to ensure it's almost impossible to have an Android device not including their apps or services.

And it's not like Google's Play Store hasn't had its share of malicious apps sneaking in.

Similar for other hw/sw vendors just in different ways.

I tend to place more trust in a community of volunteers working on open source software.

Now, as for that community's ability to assemble reliable, well-tested OS images for a wide selection of devices, despite all the hurdles put up by those devices' hardware? Or check what 3rd party software goes into their repositories? There you have a point.

All in all, it mostly comes down to not installing random apps from random 3rd parties.

Regardless of the exact reasons to run 3rd party OSes like LineageOS (or one's thoughts about those), objections to OSes a device came with, are entirely valid: bloat, privacy, apps installed by default (sometimes non-removable), default settings, etc etc.
My only issue with BRAW is that afaik it's the least open video format in common use. Undocumented and supported only via obfuscated binaries. So free tools like ffmpeg that support "everything" do not support BRAW.
