That's funny to hear because DALL-E 3 mainly improves prompt understanding, it hallucinates like mad with faces and hands, and doesn't seem to do anything to improve them like Midjourney for example.

>Whereas with DALL E you can get some hyper-realistic images from it with very little effort using plain human language.

Hyper-realistic, but is it what you want from it? Are you able to guide it into doing exactly what you want? If you have such requirements that just a natural language prompt is enough and is somehow faster than sketching and providing references, of course use it. I'm not so lucky, I don't get what I want from it, and no amount of prompt understanding will make it easier. Although SD/SDXL doesn't pass the quality bar either, not because it's not "detailed" or "hyper-realistic" enough, but because it doesn't pay attention to the things that should be prioritized, like linework or lighting. Neither does any other model. Controlnets and LoRAs alone aren't sufficient for controllability either, mostly because it's too small to understand high-level concepts. So I don't use anything.

No, you know when a beginner generated an image in Stable Diffusion. With enough skill and attention, you will not.

> For a large change, I don’t want to do a “diff review”, I want to do a proper code review of a codebase at a particular instant in time, paying specific attention to the recently changed areas,

obviously every team and ticket is different, but IMO unless the person doing the review is some sort of principal engineer mostly responsible for the code at large, this does not align with I would personally consider a code review. In my book a general code review is simple sanity check by a second pair of eyes, which can result in suggestions to use different API or use an API slightly differently. If commits in the PR are properly ordered/squashed it is relatively easy to review incremental changes in isolation anyway.

I guess the complaint author has is really about review types. I do not have terminology ready at hand, but there is run of the mill sanity check review and then there is deep, architectural feature premerge review. The author complains about the latter when most of the code reviews in web tools are of the former variety.
Ugh… can’t we have something that isn’t commercialized? Yikes.

There is also no single catch-all solution to carbon emissions. There are 10,000 solutions that each only fix 0.01% of the problem. If we refuse to pursue any of the solutions because they only contribute a little to solving the problem in totality then we end up solving none of the problem.
Corrupt politicians win elections in non-GDPR countries a whole lot too, unfortunately. I'm no political scientist, but I think it has a lot to do with people being unwilling to learn about and engage with the political system, among others. I live in Austria and when it comes to more complicated topics soch as politics, or IT for example, people are outright proud to claim ignorance. Most people actually don't know that they can and should write their EU MEPs. I have, and I have gotten into very fruitful conversations with them. However, instead of asking our kids to know institution names by heart, maybe asking them to engage with the system would be a good start.

Also, if I were into social studies, I'd look at social media and how they drive outrage, and a good way to show kids how such an influence operation works so they don't fall for it. My wife and I have been a little active in this area, but way too little to make any meaningful difference, unfortunately.

Your claim makes no sense. Any move towards reducing carbon will require many 1% improvements.

Personal aviation isn’t a problem because it’s the rich doing it, but because it’s extremely expensive, and in the vast majority of cases there is a much better alternative (flying commercial).

If there’s an easy way to knock out 0.1-0.5% of emissions you absolutely take it, even if in itself it doesn’t achieve everything we need, but it gets us closer.

And that’s before we consider the psychological/political impacts of telling a farmer to buy a new truck while not saying anything to a celebrity traveling in a private plane that will emit more carbon in a month than that farmer’s dirty truck would in its lifetime.

All properly competitive markets have thin margins and price being a major competitive factor. The problem isn't with that, but rather with flight staff, as a class, being unable to defend proper salaries and work conditions against the competitive pressures on airlines, and as a result they end up squeezed to near a breaking point.

(I'm no political or labor expert, but to me this feels like a case of the air crews being in need of an union.)

There's a public safety interest in fixing that, but like with other safety-critical jobs, there seems to be no way for that interest to become a force acting on the market. Yes, it would mean slightly more expensive flights, but as it is, the price floor on air travel is too low. Sure, current prices mean flights are available to more people, but that's just subsidizing the poor via having everyone accept a small but growing risk of death.

You have to limit the content length on the server side to prevent requests from choking up. So usually instead of having to sync up requirements between client and server, lazy devs just choose a simple number and enforce it globally. Especially for a lot of enterprise apps the login forms are scattered across multiple systems built by various devs. Some random contractor might just add a length validation for cargo cult. Also some databases require you to specify specific string length for entries and inexperienced devs may not understand that hashes have a constant length output.

At one place I worked we were we were in a monopoly position and multiple companies were forced to buy from us.

We were forced to spend a lot of time to do tricks to make Windows 7 behave like Windows.

We couldn't take opportunities that showed up as the only ones who knew the software were SW engineers in another country, and they were unreliable.

We could have lived comfortably since our software was almost mandatory and we were the only supplier.

But we struggled badly and pay were late on multiple occasions and I was happy to leave after some years.

Alas, feels like signaling to support the overheated hype and trillion dollar valuation.

Real competition in this space would be really good. The shape of mass computing is inceasingly a tortured collusion game rather than a true market.

Anybody who used a raspberry pi knows that the desktop computing landscape is not what it used to be. For peanuts you can have a rock-solid linux PC that covers the computing needs of like the 99% of people.

With a convergent OS you'd also cover the mobile use case, where conveniently Arm is already the norm.

It seems to be a European obsession. Generously, because intercontinental flights are super cheap compared to similarly-scheduled and more eco-friendly rail. (As well as to America. Our mandatory taxes are more than a budget European flight.)

Less generously, because it's a popular bogey bear.

> In my book a general code review is simple sanity check by a second pair of eyes, which can result in suggestions to use different API or use an API slightly differently.

This is an impoverished view of code review. Code review is a principal mechanism for reducing individual code ownership, for propagating conventions, and for skill transfer.

A good code review starts with a good PR: one that outlines what its goals were and how it achieved them.

First item on a good review then: does the code achieve what it set out to do per the outline?

Second: does it contain tests that validate the claimed functionality?

Third: does it respect the architectural conventions of the system so far?

Fourth: is the style in line with expectations?

Fifth, and finally: do you have any suggestions as to better API usage?

A code review that is nothing more than a sanity check is useless and could have been done by CI infrastructure. Code review is a human process and should maximally take advantage of the things only humans could do. Leave the rest to machines.

An implicit question in several of the above is "will this set a good example for future contributions?"

You claim you want to "weed out the lazy and deceitful, thereby forming a healthy and efficient team." So you use surveillance because you have no trust. Can you imagine how it feels to be under permanent surveillance and need of justification when you know the video's purpose is to catch you slacking off and fire you? There is a reason why there are strict laws, clubs and unions that protect people from being turned into mere wage slaves just because a business owner wants to squeeze the most out of them and throw them away once there are signs of a burnout.

> Focusing on "solutions" that address less than a percent of a percent of emissions is a distraction

A "percent of a percent" is of the order of scale of 0.01%. Airplanes account for 2.5% to 3.5% of all global emissions [1] and are emitted by only 11% of the population [2]. That's an error ratio of 300. If you're advocating for awareness in picking effective solutions, I think numbers should matter.

> Push any non-carbon energy source you like - nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, it doesn't matter.

Yes,but all of these sources produce electricity, that's great for EVs, but planes don't run on electricity, they use carbon-energy (and this is not ready to change for commercial flying). Even if every country gets equipped with top quality nuclear plants, it will change anything for airplanes. Electrical and oxygen airplanes are very far from any real proposition.

I completely agree with you in being effective and very rational when picking solutions and advocating for them. I also think that we must be fair to future generations and to lower social classes. In this view, I think that we should (at least) stop encouraging flying and start encouraging trains, or just more local activities. Whether we must discourage it is another question, for which I have no answer.

Thanks!

Well, mostly that it's text / XML you usually have to parse in full and boundaries are data heavy, so if you have anything more than a world map, I don't see that working very well.

In contrast with the OP or GeoPackage, you can query by tiles/range and only extract the boundaries you need if you're zoomed in somewhere. If you use Tiny Well-Known Binary compression, you can also shrink the data quite a bit while keeping the querying capabilities.

But if you only ever need to render the whole thing, topojson is probably the winner as it cleverly encodes only unique borders once, so it tends to be a lot smaller.

And of course if SVG works for your case, go ahead and use it, it's surely the easiest way to render vector gfx in the browser :)
I don't know if reacting to current events to offer medical advice is the best way to go. SSRIs were of great help to me when I was in the throes of my anxiety disorder, but psychadelics had given me harrowingly bad trips before I started a meditation practice (the mental fortitude has really helped.) One particular trip made me feel like I just came back from hell and I didn't feel "back" for days afterward. Mental health is tough and nobody seems to have the answers. As with everything, following the beaten path will lead you to surfaces well-trodden, and answers at this point in time are more personal than known science.
