That is a really theoretical point.

If I start to work on a tool, then I cannot work anymore on what I actually wanted to do. And it just so happens ... that this is exactly what I did and I can just say, it usually takes way longer than the most pessimistic estimate one can come up with, so yes, one can decide to switch careers and try to get funding to (re)build what is not offered to acceptable conditions (but in my case the tool simply did not exist, though).

Just like an artist can switch career, study CS, build on his own a tool a professional company build with a team over years - and then someday work with his tool to acomplish his original work. In (simplified) theories, lots of things are possible ..
Ok. Thanks!

A bit overkill to use k8s for my use-case, but didn't knew it was possible for AF.

Given that:

- The cfg style checker accepts a strict superset of the programs that a lexical checker would (so if you're thinking lexically then your thinking will still work).

- The checker is (modulo bugs) sound, so if it thinks a program is valid then it is (so you don't actually have to think deeply about the complex cases if you don't want to).

it makes sense that this would be easier to use.
90% of the tricky parts of CI are secret management. As long as you write scripts to pick up credentials in a sane way (.awsprofile or similar) you should be able to configure your CI to provide the credentials just as well as you can locally - but in practice, the various different ways that things like artifact repositories, integration test databases, and cloud deployment tools want to manage auth is the cause of most of the complexity in getting your build/test/deploy pipeline working on the runner.
Vendor lock-in hence the evil plan:

"While GitHub Actions is an open platform, it is still tied to the GitHub ecosystem. This can be a concern for teams who want to maintain flexibility and avoid vendor lock-in."

"But are you really sparing that many lines of code? Ultimately, you’re going to have to declare what your environment needs so other developers can contribute to the project anyway, so why not simply write a bash script to take care of that for you?"
I'm considering buying these. Are you saying they're floppy as in, the bendable part doesn't hold it's shape? or floppy as in, the magnet isn't strong enough and the whole thing falls down?

I'm assuming there's a magnet. I hope these aren't just using weight to hold their position....
Usenet was all about longform text. People posting to it were seated comfortably at a chair and typing on a keyboard. Reddit is today mainly browsed by people on their phones, a medium that discourages longform text no matter how much people claim to be just as proficient on a touchscreen keyboard as a real one. Moreover, Reddit’s redesign discourages substantial discussion, and even if one chooses to use old.reddit.com, you still suffer from the overall culture of the site being set by the new interface.

Yeah.

This is the exact same issue I am grappling with right now!

The first season's production quality just feels very immature.

It's a shame because the writing clearly has legs.
My experience is different. I had to code various instances of "parallel reduction" and "prefix sum" and it's not easy to get into it (took me a day or two). Moreover, coming from an age where 640KB of RAM where considered quite enough, truly realizing the power of the GPU was not easy because my tasks are not quite parallel and not quite thread coherent (I grant you that doing naturally parallel stuff is dead simple). It took me a while and a lot of nvidia-nsight to max out the GPU... Moreover, I was a bit slow to actually understand how powerful a GPU is (for example, my GPU gave poor performances unless I gave it a problem big enough, so I was (wrongly) disappointed when testing toy problems)

But once that challenge is overcome, GPU truly rocks.

Finally debugging complex shaders (I do some specific case of computational fluid dynamics where equations are not that easy, full of "if/then" edge cases, etc) is not fun at all, tooling is sorely missed (unless I've missed something)
For Windows and OS X?

That's still the main reason I use Github (although Gitlab has them now in beta(?) https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/runners/index.html).
And once you have relatively clean text, you could do fun things like topic modeling to segment "interview content" discussing the work/career/etc of the interviewee, from "banter".
I enjoyed that video too.

If the point of colonization of Mars is to diversify where life is to avoid full extinction, we really need to think bigger. That channel is filled with examples of nearby Supernova and Quasars that could extinguish life in the solar system.

That timeline also opened my eyes to how long it took for the Cambrian explosion to occur.
I agree and use act as frequently I can, but it has some pretty hard limitations. For example your runners better be using Linux as act doesn’t support Windows or Mac runners.
I have seen this kind of comment on the web since I switched to macOS in 2007. There were some very bad years, when Apple apparently thought that iPad was the future of computing. But the all the Apple Silicon releases have been rock-solid for me.

Seems like there were some missteps with introducing the M3, but macOS on existing hardware has been pretty good for me.

(Before someone starts about Snow Leopard, the early Snow Leopard releases were also pretty buggy, only near the end of the release cycle did it get good.)
Ok, I tried it (for as long as my limited free time and interest in CUDA allows). The closest I came to a getting started guide is this [0], which by my (perhaps naive count) is 25561 lines of documentation, and I would probably need to learn more C++ to understand it in detail.

I'm sure CUDA is great, and if I had more free time and/or better reasons to improve the performance of my code it would probably be great for me. My point was mainly that a few lines of code which may be trivial for one person to write may not be for someone else with different experience. Depending on what the code is being used for even a vast increase in performance may not be worth the extra time it takes to implement it.

I haven’t seen it but I can believe it - parallel programming of any variety is hard, and to be successful as a vendor of such a system would require uncommonly good API design to get the kind of traction that CUDA has gotten.
I disagree that the point of comparison should be iPhones from before this functionality, the point is that the negative effects of locking all parts are not worth the amount of theft, not that they don't reduce theft.

After all, you could massively reduce burglaries too by allowing home security systems to have automated lethal turrets to shoot burglars, but that's considered way too far in terms of social cost by pretty much every place.
Building it that way is a choice. It's not mandatory.

You can use gitlab CI with special-purpose docker images for all your steps and magic parameters driving everything too (Gitlab AutoDevops works that way).

But if you just run your steps in shell scripts in vanilla docker images containing your build-time dependencies, you should be able to produce something that works the same in any CI pipeline, or locally.

The most annoying thing for me is that a lot of CI engines make docker-in-docker complicated. I love using compose to set up integration test environments, but doing that in CI is often a fight.

You know all this talk about friendship, but you still mention "And I paid him back" in the same breath as "did not loose friendship". Sometimes you have to deal with the fact that you will never see the money again over such trivial things as a thoroughly mismanaged business venture.

Don't carry too many valuables on you because did you know? That civil asset forfeiture can happen at airports. If you're carry-on luggage during security inspection, encounter suspicious amounts of assets, the homeland security officer can tell the local police and the DA can decide to seize your valuables under the assumption that it's about to be used for drug transactions. Of course they don't need any proof to do this, and good luck getting it back from the courts.

As for baggage, at this point, I'm almost more tempted to send things ahead of time through USPS or UPS or another logical channel with a much higher reliability. But then again, I haven't really traveled in seven years because airports are such horrendous horrible places now, airlines are thicket of fees and other means to game ticket prices.

It's reasons that I really wish the car self-driving industry would stop concentrating so much on robo taxis and very difficult to drive cities, and instead concentrate on safely implementing self-driving over highways over long distances. That way I can just have my car drive me while I sleep overnight. I think this is a replace most air trips under 1000 miles.
Or I could just close the tab, and move on with my day.

It may be a regulatory requirement to display the info. It's my opinion doing it in such a disruptive and unintuitive manner is a good way to increase the bounce rate on a given site, especially when I've already got multiple browser settings enabled indicating my preference.
Using the word addiction is troublesome, since over 99% of the industry employees that work in that environment 40hrs a week are not “addicted” to gambling. If gambling addiction existed, then a large number of employees would also be “addicted”, but they are not. Its another effect fir people that cannot control their spending.
Syscalls were the OS APIs back in the Turbo Pascal days. DOS didn’t have an SDK like we now expect. But people still pulled off some pretty sophisticated stuff in Pascal (personally, I wrote a DOS GUI frontend (like pre-Win 3.x) in Turbo Pascal)
Nah, competence means that with some effort you can make things that work well enough, if you don't need to put in such effort it's mastery.

Lambdas are rarely entirely standalone, they support a larger service or glue services together.

Creating one repo per Lambda is going to make things messy of course, just as breaking every little internal library out into its own repo.

Regardless of the system or what it runs on, it's an easy trap to fall into but it's absolutely solvable with some technical leadership around standards.
Nx / Axon

Yes. The verifier check already ensures syntactic correctness, but the search could goes faster if the underlying LLM doesn't generate bad syntax to begin with.

I’m going to go ahead and generalize my own experience as an alcoholic, smoker, and coffee drinker with a highly addictive personality from a long line of addicts: It’s not remotely the same kind of addiction.

Waking up in the morning and finding I’m out of coffee is an issue on par with, I don’t know, waking up and finding we’re out of milk and I need to eat some toast instead of cereal. Not the way to start the day, but I’ll grumble and get through.

Waking up in the morning and finding out I’m out of nicotine is immediate 11/10 anxiety. My brain is focused only on how to get some. Can I make it to the store and back before my first meeting of the day? If it’s tight, I can be a bit late. If I can’t, I’m basically autopiloting myself through my morning until the first free minute I have to run out and get some. That is the _only_ thing on my mind.

From past experience, if I’m down to my last $10 and have the choice between food and coffee I’ll pick food. If I have the choice between food and cigarettes, I’ll pick cigarettes.

If I'm traveling, I'll take the risk that the hotel doesn't have coffee for some reason. I don't pack coffee in my suitcase. There's probably some mini-bottles or something in there though in case I can't get my hands on some alcohol along the way.

I certainly don't like to see companies get away with cheating their taxes, but the back-and-forth nature of this reflects poorly on the EU and not on apple. Having it go through the courts so many times with decision reversals feels more like a money grab than enforcement. Surely at some point, when the court says you are off the hook you can actually expect to never get dragged back through it over the exact same matter.

The nice thing about plain text, easy to find archives is that they can even be useful (maybe not for yourself any more) if you for some reason can't use your computer any more.
The first thing I did is to check if the easyclick functionality uses UIA. It does. I am very satisfied. For those interested, Windows Kits comes with a tool called INSPECT.EXE, which allows you to interrogate UIs. Very cool!
I use it when I can, but in my experience it’s only useful about 50% of the time.
Just a hint, which I think works well for some more complicated programming project setups: if the project is close to be shelved then preserve it in a virtual machine. Make some trivial auth, or auto login, put some notes on login/desktop screen, setup some IDE inside, check if it builds with no Internet.

Myself I use lightweight Xubuntu destkop for my VMs. I also dump hard disks of old Windows machines I am done with and make sure they run fine as VMs.

Have you ever stopped to consider how unlikely it would be that tens of thousands of years of divergent evolution, resulting in all manner of visible, tangible and quantifiable differences between the races, could somehow magically have absolutely no effect on anything beyond the superficial? That is an extraordinary claim.

Especially when we have so much data that confirms, rather than dispels, this inevitability.
Especially when the humongous company has a major profitable division.

I see no reason for anyone to load up on the grief of others. We are all carrying enough of our own grief. But, it seems like you bear actual animosity towards people who are emotionally devastated. The least you could do is to maintain a neutral, non-judgemental point of view.
It already does. In some places at least.
I have and had the opposite experience. All I see is games with uninteresting choices, pointless rule systems due to those choices being uninteresting, and an endless parade of negative EVs trying to pretend they aren’t somehow.

99.9% of all code written in these languages uses a thread per request model. Objects never go over a thread boundary. Using rust will only complicate these code bases for concerns that will never occur.

If it takes 5 API calls to populate your page, do you want to make 5 round-trip responses to where you user is, or 5 within the same datacenter and 1 to your user? If the answer is that it doesn’t make a difference, then you don’t need these tools.

Why do we care so much about this specific form of people wasting their money? What’s wrong with letting people go broke the way they choose?
Yeah, oil and coal in the quantities we found them were the result of a very specific set of physical and biological circumstances for the planet. It’s happened once. There’s a good chance it will never happen again in the remaining 900ish million years that the planet can support large, complex animals.
This particular brand of billionaire really believes in the power of technology and science to save the world, enough to make these kinds of moonshots. That belief didn't come from nowhere. It came from reading a particular kind of science fiction from a particular era. Stross points this all out.

Without the fiction giving them these ideas, they would be going about their business much much differently. They'd be doing it like other, ordinary American business. The kind that actually changes the world. Shipping, commerce, unS3XY enterprise. That's what made the modern world.

The fantasy that individuals affect history and not just culture is precisely the smoke and mirrors. Information technology makes service economies viable. That's the only contribution that could even remotely be tied to improving the global order. And it wasn't done by techbro enthusiasts, Apple and Microsoft enjoy the glory, but the real heroes are the academics that did the real research.
